My advise, never ever go to a shopping mall to try and get some cool 'whatever'. Something to do with how shopping malls run their business. Usually same same same chain store brands have their presence, while the off-the-beat shops aren't present at all. Anyways, fortunately you managed at least some gifts.

It was quite modest, nothing special

Owwwk, for your HIVE Collectors community I did what you mentioned, just shoot some photographs of Xmas street decorations and lightning. BUT! Yes... a big as BUT! When you find the lights and shizzle inyour post up here 'nothing special', then I make sure I bin my photos very very very soon!

but it was indeed weird for me to see it hanging from the ceiling... I am curious whether the designer of the Christmas decoration of this place had the same thoughts as I

I do not think so. When the one who designed this would have similar/same thought, he/she would've gone more extreme, ie put a big ass rope around the neck and hang the thing from that. Orrrr make some other humorous touch to the whole thing. Don't you think?
