Cheap shopping at Taiwan/Taipei airport?

  • Billabong

    Hi there,
    I am having an 2-hour stop over at Taipei airport on my flight to Vietnam. Since in Europe there's a lot of "made in Taiwan" for electronic stuff, i wondered if it is worth to wait buying for example Digital-Camera equipment, I-Pod stuff etc.

    Has anyone any experience, is there a chance to get some bargains on electronic stuff?

    Thanks,

    I should preface by saying I'm the most uninterested shopper in the world, but. . . .

    I've had a lot of layovers for more years than I want to think about in the Chan Kai Shek Airport now called Taoyuen or something. It was and still does seem to be under construction. Seems like all I ever see are duty free booze, perfume, ciggies and chocolate. They must have electronics too but it doesn't seem like the kind of place to get a deal. Bunch of mostly empty stores.
