Shop or Study in Taipei?

Caution : Long post! More than 100 pictures!XD

Daily campus look XD

Romantic, Passionate, Friendly, Food Heaven, Happening University, Happening place,
Laughter and Joy,
That's how I imagine NTU before I came.

Well, talking about fact, 50% was true of how I imagined. But if that's the case, where is the other 50%?
HAHAHA, there's no fairy tales in the university like how u watched in the Taiwanese Drama,
there's no F4, not hot one everywhere XD and I don't know does that really happen in other Uni or not, in my case, I felt that the students in NTU aren't friendly enough.
(some of my friends told me that it's because I don't look hardworking and nerd enough. Haha, NTU students are very hardworking and got good grades.)
The Taiwanese here is not as friendly as what everybody was talking about.
I felt strange and stress on the first 2 weeks, I was far away from home and totally in a new environment, feeling lost and the class selection was in a mess, why?
It's because I wasn't used to the class selection system.
I have to cancel all the classes that I've selected due to some problems and I even need to re-select my 2nd choices as most of the classes were full. Well, luckily the professors in NTU were good and helpful enough so that I have all these hiccups settled on the 3rd week, I have switched 50% to Department of Psychology now, not in the Department of Languages Literature anymore.

Screw the classes!!

Well, don't worry, things are getting better now, don't bother about the stress moment, it's all settled down! XD
Other than the messy class selection in the University, life in Taiwan was great actually. I can shop almost everyday. Most of my friends always ask me, "you go to Taipei for Study or Shopping? Darn, I see u shop all the times."
HAHAH, I can't deny, and I can't agree too, because I did both, study and shopping! HAHAHA

My Daily routine : Sleep, Study, Shopping and Hang Out!
20% of my times goes to Study, 30% goes to sleep, 50% goes to hang out/ shopping. XD

Dinner with friends :

Shanghai Cuisine, sorry, I forgot the name of the restaurant, around Taipei 101.

Dinner @ Coda with the bunch, Another Famous Restaurant around campus area.

Sport wears shopping for the sport club in NTU XD

Book Shopping ? XD

I love the bookstore in Taiwan, one of the famous one called Eslite 诚品书局。

They have all kind of books, even better than Kinokuniya in KLCC,

they even have their own mall which opens until midnight, some even 24hours! Awesome!!!!

Spree of week 2

Groceries shopping at 7-eleven, loving their 7-11, freaking awesome!

(Will explain at another post)

Hello Kitty @ 7-11 ( for my baby)

Skin Cares shopping XD

Skin condition was bad, thought changing a new skin care might help?

So, Give Dior a try, but it's even exp compare to Msia.

Oh yeah, I went to Taipei 101 with my friends last 2 week, like finally!
I love the area of the 101, it's totally like how I imagined, happening, full of tall buildings.
There's not only Taipei 101 around that area, there's a lot of other world class shopping mall around the area, totally shop till you drop!

Shin Kong Mitsukoshi Mall 星光三越。There's a lot of SKM in Taipei,

almost in every busy districts. They divide their departments into 3 different buildings which means you will see at least 2 -3 SKM buildings in each district.

Department such as : Luxury Department Building(Chanel, Gucci, Tiffany and etc) ,

World Class Fashion Department Building(Thomas Sabo, Designer brands and etc)

Youngster/ Teenage Department building (Roxy, Quicksilver, Adidas, Liz Lisa and etc)

This is the luxury department building.

Here's the youngster department of SKM @another district, I forgot the name, sorry!=P

The interior concept is very close to the " street/ free style/hip hop " style.

Nice one.

Customer service XD

Cute locker for shopper.

Entrance of the toilet. XD

Back to 101 XD

Miu Miu Iphone Cover!

I have been looking for Miu Miu cover and finally I found it at Taipei 101!XD

Bags and all that will save until the last month in Taipei because I can get tax refund when I leave, although it's only 5% ... XD
Opps for your info,
Branded in Taiwan are slightly cheaper than Malaysia (like rm100-200 difference). Depends on Brands.
HK is still cheaper compared to Taiwan and Msia.
But Branded Skin cares and Fragrances are not any cheaper in Taiwan, malaysia will be cheaper compared to Taiwan.

Other than that, I am gonna show you something about the universities in Taipei,
Attended one of the event which is called 北区乔生春期联谊（event for the foreigner students who study in Taipei) host by my friend's university, 东吴大学(Soochow University) last weekend.
So you will see a lot of students from all around the world, especially Hong Kong. HAHA, there's some from Malaysia too XD but I don't know them.

Selling foods from all around the world.

Performance by the students

Went for dinner @ Bongos with the bunch after the event!

Gathering of students from Sabah , HAHAH guess I am the only one from KL XD

Well, Another famous restaurant again, Bongos,

kinda similar to Coda, both of the restaurant are from the same company.

30+ ppls. But I couldn't rmb all.

And what a coincidence, my university, which is NTU was having "The NTU Azalea Festival" on the same weekend too, it is like an Open Day of the Uni, lots of departments and students will host their own events/ booths in the campus to do the explanation/ introduction for outsiders and students in NTU.

So I made it on Sunday.

Brunch with the bunch before I visit the festival.

Welcome to NTU.

It was already 4pm when I reached the campus and the festival will ends at 4:30pm. So I have only half an hour to walk around, and too bad, most of the booth were closing, didn't get to see all!
