Where to buy reputable condoms as ABT?

Hey all, A lot of threads about the topic seem to be centered on where to find condoms for girths of larger size. I’m ABT, so I figured I fall within the local Taiwanese male size metrics. I only ever used the overpriced Trojans in the US, but here I’m not so sure what the trusted brand is, let alone where to find them. I’m all for protection, so I’m willing to spend more on it if needed. I’m located in Taipei. tl;dr where can i buy condoms as an ABT, and which condoms are trusted?

I'm an ABT with a distinctly American accent

Try as I might, I’ve never been able to shed my distinctly American accent when speaking Mandarin. I feel bad about it; people in Taiwan comment about it all the time, although not in a negative way - it’s the “Aha! You must be an ABT” way.

I hardly, if ever used Mandarin outside of home but I’m actually quite happy I know how to speak the language (unfortunately not …

ABCs adjusting to Taiwan

I’m not an ABC, but my daughters are ABC/2. I’m wondering what it was like to come to Taiwan being an ABC. I’ve read some posts where people say it was great not to feel like a minority anymore. I had an ABC friend who was always made fun of when we went out in Taiwan because my white face Mandarin was better than his. He was also admired in our workplace (a Taiwan government agency) because he was said to embody the best of the US and China. Did people find a new appreciation of their Chine…

Poor ABCs

http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2003/03/30/200079 “Often seen as the children of privilege, most overseas Chinese living and working in Taiwan say they will never fully possess the heritage that is their birthright” Poor John. He can’t speak Chinese and doesn’t have the heritage that is his birthright! Seeing as, according to this article, many ABCs feel they’re getting the short end of the stick, I wonder how they would feel if they were seen as “regular” foreigners, with no ac…
