Hallo!Where in Taipei, can i find a shop that sells travel irons and transformers to use light European electrical equipment here in Taiwan?! Many Thanks
For the transformers, try the electrical component shops on the west side of Zhonghua Road just south of the National Tax Administration. If not satisfied, continue southward and take the first turning on the right into Luoyang Street. Continue down Luoyang Street without crossing it and you will come to a small shop that specialises in transformers.
Nearest MRT (subway/tube) station: Ximen
For the travel irons try some of the big 3C stores (TKEC, Daiichi / Best etc.) or department stores like Sogo and Mitsukoshi.
Yes, Sogo. I bought one there. But really, travel irons are not very good. Better to ask your hotel for one. Or use a hand steamer.
Or just hang the clothes in the bathroom while you take a long hot shower.
Transformers and converter (travel) plugs:
perhaps the easiest reachable place is the shop downstairs at Nova (B1 floor). That’s the Nova at Taipei main station.
For low wattage equipment you should be able to get a transformer at most electronics shops. For more heavy duty stuff you’ll need to head to a specialty store. One I like is in the Guanghua Market area. Xinsheng South Road #6 on B1 level in the back. There’s an electronic components shop there and they have a lot of transformers of up to 2000 watts.
