May be slightly cheaper, but not that much, not to mention many of them are "different," as in they're made in Thailand, China, or Taiwan and not Japan. The ingredients are slightly altered as well. In fact, the more expensive skincare/toiletries are all emphasized on being "made in Japan" with "original ingredients," hence justifying the high price.<br /><br />There is an area in Taipei, Ximending, that's touted as as the Shibuya/Harajuku of Taipei where even bookstores carry Japanese magazines and books. I'm going to check it out this weekend to see how the Japanese skincare/toiletries are priced there ^.^ Will put up a post on this later :)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />D.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12606515472124254336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239774207937548463.post-49569719217420117342012-09-27T00:43:51.336-06:002012-09-27T00:43:51.336-06:00That is a really nice apartment, a lot nicer than ...That is a really nice apartment, a lot nicer than some houses here!

I got it through Craigslist TW and although there were a couple of pictures, since I never actually met the landlord or saw the apartment in person, it could have turn out much much much worse than this ^.^ phew! Now that I think about it, that's totally crazy and I probably won't ever do that again LOL!<br /><br />D.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12606515472124254336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6239774207937548463.post-43534050865517452012012-09-26T15:04:23.510-06:002012-09-26T15:04:23.510-06:00your apartment looks great for the size! tho it is...your apartment looks great for the size! tho it is unfortunate the showering area is the same as the sink area. im jealous, i wish i could have an apartment. id gladly take your apartment any day hahaIchigoBunniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105254112576182593noreply@blogger.com
