Taipei, futatabi

tl;dr

Yes... so we went back up to Taipei again. My plan was to stay till today, so we could go to "Fancy Frontier", it's a bit like Comiket, for Taiwan. They also invited Nonaka Ai (known for her "I HAVE CONTROL" and "Hitode~~~"... also "pink supervisor"). However, parents said stuff like "There will be a traffic jam cuz its the last day of the 9 day holiday" and "You'll cause too much bother for our relatives, so you can only stay one night"... so I had to hope that Nonaka Ai came on the 31st instead of the 1st.

Friday the 30th: Left Taichung via long-distance bus at about 8:50am. Roads were clear, so we arrived at about 11am. Original plan was to go straight to Ximen and have lunch there, but a few signs caugt my eyes, so we ended up going down the Taipei Station Metro Street. Would have more photos but my sister had the camera in her bag and never took it out. That noob. I made the right choice. The street is like a treasure chest. Only one that takes money away from you, lol. There is 3 main sections to the place, clothes+shoes, games and hobbies, and food. Emphasis on the games amd hobbies bit.

THERE WAS AT LEAST 20 STORES. Selling games, anime stuff, and one or 2 doujin specialists. There was stuff like limited edition games and goods, TOUHOU GAMES AND DOUJIN (The doujin store had hald a shelf of Touhou + Yukkuri head dolls) and gazillions of Gachapons and figures. Found quite a bit of Aria stuff~ and bought a few. Pics will be on photobucket. Spent like 3 hours (including lunch, which was yummy Ramen) goign around all the stores. I wish I had a REALLY REALLY large budget. So I can get Sayonara Cirno Sensei or something.

Went to Ximen in the afternoon. Still couldn't find the "moe-moe" anime store, but went to Animate, KT and Wan nen. Found 1/6 Athena PVCs at KT but I decided to save my money for the monthly Undines I saw at the Metro street. Walked our feet to death. I found one of the Fancy Fonrtier booklets, and saw that Nonaka doesn't come till the 1st, and Zetsubou'd. Sister decided she doesnt want to go so I had to give up on going. Turns out we should have. Stoopid siblings. Spent the night at one of our relatives living in Mu Zha.

Went back to Ximen the next day. Saw a bunch of people with doujin shopping bags and felt the urge to kill my sister for saying she doesnt want to go. Oh well, found Moe-moe this time, along with the maid cafe. It was full... I see what they meant by making reservations, XD... found Vols 5+6 of Monthly Undine at animate, so instabuy. Went back to the Metro Street and bought vols 1+3. Still missing 2, and it will be a miracle for me to find them, and an even bigger miracle to hav them at a reasonable price. Sigh. Got Back to Taichung at abuot 8pm. Will go up again for the intl book exhibition.

Pics here but not much cuz sister is too lazy to take the camera out
