It's been a while

Yes, it's been a while and we apologize for the delay in updates. It has been a rather "eventful" period for us too.

Firstly, our trusty camera which contained many colourful and interesting shots of our visit to Bangkok's Pratunam Garment Market, Chaktuchak Weekend Market, Suan Lum Night Bazaar & Chinatown Food Street together with many picturque scenes of the province of Ayuthaya and Nakhon Pathom got stolen in Thailand back in February.

Then the free-based online-store we have been using started to experience on-off glitches due to some technical / regulatory issues.

Well, until we have our own website, we'll be relying on blogger.com and flickr.com . Please bear with us for the time-being.

You may have already noticed, our online store has been hyperlinked to our photo album , which is our temporary solution to our online-store for now.

In the meantime, should any item(s) in our photo album interest you, please do not hesitate to contact us at 96941200 to arrange for a non-obligatory viewing session.

However, due to overwhelming responses from our regular clients and their referrals, an appointment date may only be available 4 to 7 days in advance.

Many thanks again for your continuous support!

Taipei - Wu Fen Pu on 11/01/2008, 2.30pm

Just five-minutes' walk from Hou Shan Pi Station is Wu Fen Pu, a district with over a thousand wholesalers of garments, shoes, bags and accessories. It takes at least 2hrs just to browse through all the stores. Many shots were taken discreetly and from uncomfortable angles as most storeowners seemed to have "paranoia" of cameras.

Taipei - Dan Shui on 10/01/2008, 1.30pm

"Lao Ren Jie" in Dan Shui is a street filled with a variety of food stalls. Prices vary between vendors and it gets relatively cheaper the further a stall is from the beginning of the street, which is near to Dan Shui Station.

Kao You Yu (BIG Grilled Squids) & Chou Dou Fu served with Kim Chi (Smelly Tofu with preserved vegetables)
