The new Sogo department store at Zhongxiao Fuxing has put a twist on the idea of a rooftop garden. Their rooftop garden is inside on the 9th floor. The restaurants on the 10th and 11th floors have view overlooking this gorgeous (and enormous) Japanese garden.
I’m not much for gardening, but this is what I want my backyard to look like.
Speaking of Sogo, we arrived there today just at opening time. At precisely 11:00AM, two “elevator girls†came out and gave a speach to the waiting customers, one in Chinese, the other using sign language. Inside the store, the teams dashed to their places at the counters.
About 1 minute later, the doors were opened letting the public in. Every employee we passed was obligated to bow and “good morning†and “welcome†to us. There were 4 to 6 people waiting at each escalator landing, one a floor supervisor, and as we passed each level they also greeted us with a bow. Since we were heading to the 10th floor, we were bowed to and greeted by no less than 60 people.
It was almost embarrassing.
