hellogoodbye,

you are coming to Taiwan kind of soon right?

I want a bit of stuff from the States. Simple shit really, like Twinkies and a brand of chips called Takis (mexican liquor store jawn). Can reward your proxy service with tour of Taipei (plus will obviously pay for whatever you bring).

I visited RAW and Ephernite while I was there in November last year.   RAW is a tad hyped, starters were great but rapidly went down hill from there on in. Service was good, but incredibly rushed as

If you're set on coming to TW, then do it. You're still young and a year won't make or break you from a long term perspective. But think clearly about your motivation to study in Taiwan and become f

azn8oi, thanks man.

I am not going to NTU, haha. It's another university, I can't recall the name right now.

Thanks for all the advice though man. Are you gonna be around when I head over?

I'm living in my last boss's house in Taipei, so I think I'll be covered on a nice place to stay.

I'll be heading to Tokyo 2 weeks before I go to Taipei, so I probably won't buy anything in Taipei/Taiwan anyway due to the prices and what not.

Haha, you should've pmed me anyways. I would've taken you for some cool food. It's ok la!

Girls are very friendly here, ha. Singapore girls are not bad looking either... Singapore secretaries at Raffle City... check out Lau Pa Sat around 1PM = great. hahaha

Taipei is treating me great. Was hot today. fucking trickery weather, was cold as hell this morning so I went out wearing 3 layers. Bad mistake...

Went to UC today, everything is still overpriced as usual.

20% off basically every single item in the store. All of the items are the current collection. No old shit in stock except some shitty accessories. Everything is on Neoboy and Poptones.

All prices approximate and listed without the discount:

Graphic tees were 3800NT (mostly all size 2)

Chinos were around 13500NT (mostly all size 2, one size 3)

M65 (s/s 09) around 30000NT?

There was another jacket that looked crazy, 50,000NT (size 2)

best piece was the most simple, the parka with 3M taping for the seams (size 4) - 27000NT

Some dress shirts, forgot price, but they were decent.

UC is not the easiest store to go to, so make sure your parents know where theyre going.

There is a new UC store that just opened 2 weeks ago in the "Green" Sogo Department Store, which is WAYY easier to find, but I was told that they don't have all the stock.

Good luck man. Prepare your parents for sticker shock lah. NOTHING is cheap lor!

the graphic tees are priced pretty ok wad. 3800 after 20% will be around 3000. pretty decent, considering the fact that UC stuff i get in sg are 200sgd. :( why must their tees always be left with only size 2??!?!?!?!

anw where is this green sogo? may probably ask mum to drop by both.

ps THANKS FOR THE DETAILED INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Green Sogo (復興Sogo) is http://www.skyscrapers.cn/diagram/asia/taiwan/taipei/file_SOGO_Taipei_Department.htm this one. The store is on the 3rd floor, I think.

It's located exactly at Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT Station. (or conversely: on 復興南路 x 忠孝東路). If your mom is taking taxi just tell the driver 新Sogo百貨。 It's super easy to find.

I only mention the color because there are 3 Sogo department stores within 3 blocks or so. Don't go to the wrong one.

Sure, no problem.

If your mom is going to 復興Sogo, tell her to stop by Kobayashi （小林煎餅）for some "bell cookies". It's just across the street on the same side of the road as that Sogo, and it's sooo good. There's always a line outside for it. 30NT for 3 cookies. Tell her she must try if she's nearby.

hahaaa azn8oi is sufu taipei ambassador. good lookin out

would've been cool to meet up, but schedule was fuckin tight son. we set our alarms for 10-11am every day (that's 7 cell phones going off in the morning) but somehow we managed to sleep through that every single time.

most memorable part about the trip was ODing on whisky and running through XMD in boxers. haha was like 2am though

enjoy your last couple of months in taipei !
