Shopping in Taipei...

I went shopping yesterday. I was in a weird mood felt the extreme urge to go shopping. Originally I went out on a specific mission to get my new hat RUFFIAN: This crazy behavior. These ladies were totally trying to rip me off, $290, $390, and $490 at different places in different parts of town. Around mid-day I pretty much gave up on it, because I'm cheap and am just not willing to pay 15 bucks for a hat. I ended up in Gongguan market at a store called Yo-Yo and got these two shirts. What I love about shopping in Asia is that they love layers so the clothes usually come in layers and most the time aren't sewed together in a one piece so you get multiple shirts. The yellow one comes with a removable tank top and a necklace joint. The necklace also matches my green fancy top. So, basically I win. 3 shirts and necklace for about ~$18. I went to Shilin market, the biggest night market in Taipei and ended up getting the hat. I couldn't resist. Shilin was insanely crowded and busy, but I can imagine getting some good deals there.
