I bought a mattress and a blanket at "IKEA" on the second arrival day,

The Sha Tin town is an apartment complex including many tall buildings.
The apartment complex is huge.
Therefore, the shopping mall is huge, too.

In this shopping mall, there is anything from food to brand items.
I got my iPhone4 which is no stock in Hong Kong at one electronic shop in the shopping mall.
Of course, there are a lot of Japanese items, UNIQLO, YOSHINOYA, WATAMI and City Super which buy a lot of Japanese food.
"UNIQLO" of the world.↓ The "UNIQLO" is very popular in Hong Kong.
Sha Tin is a little bit far from the campus, two stations far from "University" station.
