As mentioned in my past Travel Chic post, my trip to Asia has begun. I spent my first three nights in Hong Kong, catching up with some friends and family during all those day. Last Monday (or some say the one before... I get confused with these things), I flew to Taipei with my family because according to my brother I should "make the most out of my first transpacific trip in years". I guess he's right.
Taipei is very different than what I have imagined. I imagined it to be newer, but instead a lot of places are full of older building. It's very different from Hong Kong. But there are something the two cities have in common - the number of beauty counters. Every mall or department store I have visited, the first thing you'll see after the entrance will be beauty counters. I believe my fellow Canadian beauty enthusiasts will drool when they see these stores in person. They have about 3-5 times more brands than we have in Canada. They also have a lot of freestanding beauty stores... from drugstore to high-end, from American to Korean. You can find almost every brand you can name here in Taipei! And here are just some pictures that I took from a Taipei landmark - Taipei 101, plus a few shots in Ximending =)
