Essentials to live in Taiwan

Spices, if you cook, your favorite deodorant or shaving blades (guys). Popcorn in the rough, I haven't found any that didn't come with yellow goop...Store to find western stuff Fingas, Top city (B3?), Jason's (B2) at Chung Yo dept store. Contact if at a loss, sorry, I'm a foodie

Ive been here for six months, another 5 to go. In a out doors person and I debated bringing my sleeping bag and bed roll. Im a pretty basic kiwi and have found them invaluable if you need to get into the mountains. but I have found having them great to throw the sleeping bag on my bed in this cold weather and my bed roll on my rock hard matress in my apartment. its made the world of difference.
im in a smaller rual part of Taiwan....and went to hongkong over holidays and found bacon and eggs....i was so happy i cried... was little thing, so id say bring some reminders of home eg a calender, home jewlery....and it was hard to find waxstrips to star with. and when i asked my co teacher the word got out and it became embarsing.....!×
