I don’t know why someone would say going behind taipei train station is better than ximen for costumes. :loco: Its not.

I forgot replying that my wife and I had some euh “words” about the so called place behind the train-station.
The only spots we found there were the stores selling CNY stuff. Not one had costumes. (still - if someone would be able to point out to the exact location - I could still have the last word towards the misses 
)
I did found an “Africa” related “costume” I was looking for which they rented for 1000 NRD for 2 days. Aside being a potential walking fire hazard (the costume was made of straw) it was nice and diverse.
My fellow female workers looked gorgeous in their “Jane” outfits also :lick: (me Tarzan)
Obviously - it is easier to get any costume of any Manga / cartoon / movie figure in Ximen but High Quality rents at a price of 3000 NTD are not to be found.
(for 3000 NTD you better BUY one and sell it second hand to those stores in Ximen)
