Breeze Nanshan, the Breeze Group’s third department store in Taipei’s Xinyi District, celebrated its grand opening on Jan. 10, drawing 150,000 shoppers within a day. Located in the Taipei Nan Shan Plaza office tower, the new department store with 16,200 ping (approx. 53,500m2) of floor space is now the largest in Taipei — including seven floors above ground, two basement levels, as well as dining areas between the 46th and 48th floors.
On the invitation of the Breeze Group, Japanese shopping center operator Atre Co. has opened its first overseas mall on the second to fourth floors, with Japanese brands accounting for 60 percent of the goods. In addition, it is housing Blue Bottle Coffee’s first season-themed gift shop in Taiwan.
Breeze Nanshan is also housing nearly 100 restaurants in order to attract customers. Some of the highly-anticipated restaurants include famous US steakhouse Smith and Wollensky’s first Taiwanese branch. However, popular US restaurant The Cheesecake Factory did not open its first Taiwanese outlet there as planned.

微風南山於上週四盛大開幕，這是微風集團在台北市信義區的第三家百貨公司，一天之內便吸引了十五萬人潮。該處位於「台北南山廣場」辦公大樓內，佔地面積一萬六千兩百坪，是台北市現今最大的百貨公司—包括地上七層、地下兩層，及四十六到四十八樓之間的餐廳區。
而在微風集團力邀下，日本購物中心業者Atre首次到海外展店，在二到四樓開設商場，其中百分之六十的商品都是日系品牌。此外，亦設有台灣首家藍瓶咖啡季節限定禮品店。
同時，微風南山還設有近百家餐廳吸引顧客上門。其中備受矚目的包括知名美國牛排館、史密斯華倫斯基台灣首家分店。不過高人氣的美式餐廳起司蛋糕工廠，則未如計劃來台展店。

The GEM covers 500,000 square meters and boasts over 100,000 Egyptian artifacts A:
People praise the wisdom of owls and the loyalty of dogs, yet pigs are rarely commended for anything. Branded as lazy and dirty, they’ve long had a bad rap. But if you scratch beneath the surface, you’ll find that pigs are among the most underestimated animals of all. If you’ve watched the animated television series Peppa Pig, you’ll know how much pigs love muddy puddles. In truth, wallowing in mud is not a sign of poor hygiene but a matter of biological necessity. Because pigs have few functional sweat glands, they cannot regulate their body temperature like humans do.
Russian figure skater Petr Gumennik has been forced to change his short program music two days before the men’s program at the Milan Cortina Olympics after joining a growing list of figure skaters dealing with copyright issues. Gumennik, who is participating as a neutral athlete at the Winter Games, had been working all season to music from “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer,” a psychological thriller film. But the 23-year-old Russian national champion learned in the last few days that he did not have proper permission to perform to the music, leaving him in limbo as the Winter Games began. Given such

These creatures also carry traits that further defy common stereotypes. Take their noses, for example. A pig’s sense of smell is so keen that it can detect truffles, rare and expensive fungi buried deep underground. Farmers in Europe once relied on pigs to sniff out these culinary treasures, though dogs are now preferred because pigs are often tempted to eat what they find. Pigs also see the world in a unique way. With their eyes positioned
