Everything from the last few days of my first Semester in Taiwan. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the awesome. Hahaha. Starring (in order of appearance) Leng, a fountain thingy, Yin, Jess, Sophia, a random dog, and some bikes.
Have I mentioned yet that Sha loves living in Taipei? Well, she does. So here are some random things from living near 公館 station..
The area isn’t bad looking at all.. Well, at least I have no problem with it. Haha.

I left the house one evening with $900NT in hopes of adding a multitude of necessities and accessories to my dorm room.. Then I stumbled upon DAISO, a Japanese store where every item costs $39NT. That’s cheap, right? So, this is the result of this venture – an example of what you can get with around $500NT.
*points above* I don’t know why, but I couldn’t resist buying these jelly hearts for my bathroom walls. I guess a small splash of colour here and there makes the bathroom a little happier and brighter? You get twice the amount shown in the photo, and they all aren’t bad quality.
Although, it didn’t have the cutest bins I’ve ever seen, DAISO still has some pretty cute bins. Below is my new bin, I got it because I thought it was quite cute but now I’m wishing I got an even cuter one. Oh well.

On February 20, I moved into the 臺大水源舍區. I live in building A, right next to the building with the Starbucks and 7-11. Apparently the dorms are new, only about a year old, which would explain why they look so nice. I don’t have any photos of the building itself yet but it’s on my to do list.
Basically, you get a room with a fridge, bookshelf, desk with two drawers, chair, shoe rack, tall two door cupboard, bed frame, sink, toilet, shower, towel rack, and a mirror. What does that mean? It means that you have to buy your own mattress and bed covers. The dorm can provide them for the prices shown below, you can venture to the nearby 7-11, or wander around the nearby shops where you can find a few bedding stores.
Set items: 2 pillowcases, 1 pillow, 1 quilt, 1 quilt cover, 1 cushion cover, 1 cushion
Price: $3,100NT
Separate items & Price: Mattress ($1,000NT), Pillow ($350NT), Quilt ($2,000NT), Bed sheet ($350NT)
