Swedish affordable fashion brand H&M has been very busy since it arrived in Taiwan last year. In addition to opening branches in northern, central and southern Taiwan, it has also announced the opening of a flagship store in Taipei’s Ximending on Friday next week, replacing the branch in Hong Kong’s Causeway Bay as the brand’s largest flagship store in Asia.
H&M has opened nine branches in Taiwan. It is opening the Ximen store by Exit 6 of the MRT Ximen Station. The five-story building boasts a spacious shopping area of as much as 1,500 ping (4,960 square meters). The new store will also introduce the Men’s Trend collection to Taiwan for the first time.
Also, H&M has announced that actor Li Chen and his actress girlfriend Fan Bingbing will appear as the celebrity endorsers for its upcoming 2017 CNY (Chinese New Year) collection. The company always invites the year’s most popular celebrity couple to endorse its CNY collection, released before every Lunar New Year.

I forged alliances and fought corruption. But the whispers of jealous courtiers, the murmurs of treason, spoke louder. The king cast me out. The water looks calm. It promises peace. I step in. The river is cold against my legs. I hear shouts behind me — fishermen calling my name. I keep walking. The calls grow louder, but I do not turn around. The water rises to my chest. It pulls at me. I
In Taiwan, people can use a platform to rent a power washer for a weekend or share unused garage space for someone’s storage needs. These are examples of the sharing economy, a consumption model that has gained widespread adoption worldwide. This approach allows people to rent or share assets like cars, homes or even services, typically through online platforms.

In reality, flapjack octopuses are deep-sea creatures, which are unsuitable for the brightly lit shallow reef environment depicted in the film. Their primary defense mechanism relies on their reddish coloration, which would be ineffective in the well-lit shallows. Pearl’s famous line, “You guys made me ink,” is another fictional detail that is not consistent with the observed actions of real flapjack octopuses. As common as it is in many other octopus
