Hi Chris, Thank you for the tour of the 2 shopping plaza. The Guanghua Plaza is great for those who are really into electronics. I probably could find any electronics item in there. The Syntrend Mall does remind me more of the Akihabara District in Japan. I would enjoy checking out the Anime stores there. I didn't think they were so into the massage chairs.These two places are worth exploring for sure. Take care.
Nice video. Thanks for showing this. I’m going next month and am now lowkey freaking out to see all this gaming gear. I wonder what they’ll let me take on a plane back home heheh
You are visiting say from Indonesia...will these companies ship merchandise? Great tour btw...I recall the "Electronics Market" in Seoul, Korea...back in the day...I've heard it is no longer. Did enjoy your Hotel review of JW Marriot, Singapore...your vid made me reconsider my lodging there...spent 5 years in Hawaii and can attest to your validity of the Islands. Aloha!
Hi 👋 thank you for this video. Do we have an official Asus Store. I saw Asus presented in your video, but when I check with google; look like Official Asus store is outside of this building. Tks 🎉so much
What type of residential home could be purchased for $250k (USD) in Taipei or a second tier city? I realize your not a realtor but you know your stuff. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!
Real estate in Taipei and New Taipei (The area surrounding taipei) are quite expensive. Price in Taipei in most areas start from roughly $9000 USD per square meter. So 250k gets you an old 1 room apartment under 30 square meters in Taipei, maybe an old 2 room apartment that's around 40 square meters in New Taipei. By old I mean an apartment building that has no elevators that's over 40 years old. Which depending on the condition of the building, when you add the renovation cost will easily go over your budget. 2nd or 3rd tier cities can be a lot cheaper though.

It is good for you to show this for Americans who think this country has everything and is the most technologically advanced.
Last time I was in Taiwan was last century. How things have changed. Feeling old.

And a great place to get a chair massage! 😀
Notice, no hoards of shoplifting thieves running through.
What an amazing place. Had a look & it is only 18 mins from where we are staying. ❤
Neat!

Any Ham (Amateur) Radio equipment? Or, high-end radios, in general?
Hmmm.. I didn't see any. But I didn't explore every single stall
Ham stores are located in Guanghua, 3, 5F as far as I remember - None in Syntrend
