1. Instant foods that remind you of home

Studying abroad in Taiwan is exciting, but sometimes you might feel:
“I miss my family…” or “I want Japanese food!”
In these moments, Japanese food can really lift your spirits!

2. Recommended Japanese instant foods to bring
1️⃣ Instant ramen – Popular in Taiwan, but more expensive than in Japan. Bringing your own is cheap, tasty, and easy to cook.
2️⃣ Instant miso soup – Comforting and perfect when you feel down.
3️⃣ Curry roux or retort curry packs – Just add rice for an instant taste of Japan. Highly recommended!
4️⃣ Pasta sauce – Available in Taiwan, but pricey. Buying from Japan saves money.
5️⃣ Donburi packs (beef bowl, oyakodon, etc.) – Pre-cooked and safe to bring, just pour over rice for an instant Japanese meal.

💡 Tip:

Feeling homesick is normal! Don’t worry.
Food can help you take care of your emotional well-being.
Enjoy Japanese flavors to stay happy and energized while living in Taiwan! 🌟

2. 100 Yen Shop Items

Why:

In Japan, 100-yen shops (dollar stores) are everywhere and super cheap.
In Taiwan, you won’t find such stores with so many affordable items, so it’s smart to bring some things from Japan before you come.

Recommended Items:
1️⃣ Laundry basket – Foldable types fit in your suitcase and are very useful in dorm life.
2️⃣ Microwave-safe cooking containers (for cooking rice or pasta) – Essential if you plan to cook for yourself. Hard to find and pricey in Taiwan.
3️⃣ Clothes storage shelves – Hanging organizers save space and help keep dorm closets neat.
4️⃣ Laundry hangers – Can’t get them cheaply in Taiwan, so bring them from Japan!

💡 Tip:

100-yen shops have many small items that make daily life easier.
Buying these before coming to Taiwan makes settling in much smoother! ✨

3. Bring Sunscreen & Cosmetics (Including Extras)

Why:

Japanese skincare and cosmetics in Taiwan can cost up to twice as much as in Japan.
Selection is limited, and many stores carry mostly foreign brands, which can feel unfamiliar or unreliable.

Recommendation:

Bring your usual Japanese products and include extra stock for long-term use.
Balance with your suitcase space, but it’s better to bring more than less.

✈️ Example (for someone returning to Japan twice a year):

Sunscreen: 3 bottles
Hair oil: 3 bottles
Skincare items: 2 sets

💡 Tip:

Even if you can buy them in Taiwan, price difference + peace of mind = worth bringing from Japan.
For long-term students, having a stock of familiar cosmetics makes life in Taiwan much more comfortable!
