Greetings from Taiwan!

I gotta tell ya, it's a completely different world out here from what I expected.

1. Transformers are impossible to find. Only mall toy shops and TRU stock these. When they do, it's Classics, Cybertron, Alternators, or Movie Protoforms only. Taiwan is VERY US. When I did see toys, it's ALL the hard to find stuff @ US prices.


(Cybertron Galvatron, Alternators Rumble, Alternators Ravage, Classics reissue Soundwave, Classics Devastator, Classics 2 packs, Classics 8 packs) I was swearing when I saw all of this. :hs:



2. Videogames are impossible to find. I found a Circuit City type store. They had about 20 games to choose from, from each console. The Wii is nowhere to be found, along with the PSP.

3. Malls are expensive. They're filled with high fashion stores only. If you're a normal person, you're on the streets.

4. The prices out here are decent. Bargaining on the street just doesn't exist here. I've been to "night markets" every evening here. Imagine a crowded city block covered with $6 teeshirts and KO'ed clothes.

5. shoes are f'ing expensive.

Anyhoo ... my internet time is extremely limited. Gotta run, but I'll be back in 12 hours or so.

:wavey:

(JP, check your email, there's something in there I asked for ya to show to mom)
