    I'm going to be visiting Taiwan this summer and I was wondering where I should go to get pens.
    What pens I can find there that i can't find here in the US.
    And maybe non pen related objects that are cheaper in Taiwan or rare in the US.
    And prices would be nice ^ _ ^

    Just go to any stationary shop or bookstore, most of them have packs of Signo DX, Hi-Tec C, individual Pilot G2s, Pentel Hybrid (HGG tip), and you might find some pens that look like bellcolors, but shorter and a bit smaller, I think. It's called "Colorful Pen" and the body feels just like regular comssa. the pen itself can be double capped. it's skinnier and a bit shorter than regular comssas, though, kind of like Comssa v2 (the kind PW sells)

    They also have a lot of cheap retractable pens that you could breakdown into just retr. mechs and you could make a retr. mod with those. Try to find those cute and skinny mech. pencils and pens. those have really skinny mechs. that you could possibly fit into a mod (MX, comssa), etc. (and hopefully make the mod retractable)

    Signos are definitely cheaper there, like $1.10~$1.20 USD. At least that's what I found. dunno.gif

    I think you can get Airfits in Taiwan, but I'm not sure.

    I have. They're labeled as "Hybrid Fine 06" or something like that. Just look for a pen that has an HGG-like cap and you'll find it. wink.gif
