MRTs and Fast Trains

My dorm room is very simple. I have furniture and the necessities, but even so, if I'm going to be living here for four more months, I want to enjoy coming home and find comfort in my room. So, a couple of friends and I went to Carrefour, Taiwan's fake Costco. In recent years, Costco has come to Taiwan, but in the past, I remember going to Carrefour to buy cheap household items and stock up on food. Earlier on in the day, Lawrence and I went to the Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT stop to get ethernet cords and fruit from the farmer's market, so I was able to meet my friends right after.

This picture was taken across the street from Ximending, a popular night market by the Ximen MRT station. I met the girls here and we walked from there, four blocks to Carrefour.

The entrance to Carrefour. We originally thought the store was 7 floors, but the 4th floor was for restaurants, and the 5th, 6th, and 7th floors were parking lots. 

We were very, very excited to be here, and ended up buying too many things. Nevertheless, we bought our items and pushed through the crowds on the subway to make sure we brought all our goodies home.

My grand total came out to: 1,047NT

The snacks: Minced meat cup noodles (59NT), individually wrapped bags of green peas (59NT), small bag wasabi peas (63NT), small bag original peas (63NT), Extra peach gum (29NT), and lychee gelatin (78NT)

Household items: bathroom rug (99NT), air freshener (59NT), bathroom cleaner (44NT), closet organizer (199NT), bath towel (149NT), washing machine net (49NT), sponges with hook (38NT), washcloth (18NT), and broom (38NT)

I have a feeling I didn't the best deals on a lot of the items, but to be able to get them all at once was an obvious benefit of the trip. In addition, there are some items that I can take home once the semester is over. And lastly, now my room is one step closer to being completely furnished and comfortable.
