Gama-Island, the distinctive food and refreshment center of Gamanians, was reopened on the first floor of the headquarters in Taipei on July 25. The new Gama-Island is more spacious and comfortable and offers a more leisurely atmosphere as compared to its previous one. The area’s overall look doesn’t fall behind that of world-renowned coffee shop chains. No wonder an endless stream of Gamanians have been flocking to the place since its soft opening.
“Which high-class coffee shop is to be opened here?” “I want to work in Gamania, too.” “It seems it has a strong sense of design.” These are the common new conversation topics of office workers near the headquarters in Taipei and Taipei Far Eastern Park recently. Several “neighbors” of Gamania looked surprised after seeing the newly opened Gama-Island on the first floor of Gamania’s headquarters. And they seemed envious after being informed that Gama-Island belongs to Gamania.
In fact, Gama-Island has been an indispensable place for Gamanians since it was founded in 2002. It is perhaps not an exaggeration to say that Gamanians like to hang out in Gama-Island more than in their own homes because there are tasty meals, interesting exhibits, various games, club activities, wonderful facilities such as a fitness center, etc. here. Most important of all, this place is exclusively for Gamanians. You can “hang out” here anytime you want. Nobody will oppose. It is just as simple as that. Everyone was excited when they learned that Gama-Island will be renovated and they were really looking forward to it. And the brand new Gama-Island was certainly not a disappointment!
Albert and other company heads were present on the day when it was officially opened, to show their support. Albert said, “The brand new Gama-Island is bigger and better than before. But because we have increased the size of the kitchen, the dining area is not as large as I imagined. But never mind; please be patient for a while. I promise that Gama-Island will be upgraded again! I expect the space of the next Gama-Island to be ten times larger than this one. It will provide more facilities and even a swimming pool for Gamanians.” Finally, Albert gave special thanks to the people behind Gama-Island for their efforts and happily cut the ribbon during the opening ceremony. From this moment on, the brand new Gama-Island has been in operations.
Gama-Island 1.5 comes on stage.
Gama-Island was not only upgraded but has also evolved! A signage that states “Gamania Only” hangs at the entrance.
