Perhaps the closet thing to the well-known Ikea brand of stores
that Taichung has is Working House, a large Western-style household
goods store chain that carries attractive, reasonably-priced items,
imported and local. Working House's latest branch has opened
in the heart of the Tunghai Peihshu (villa), the college town at
the top of the hill overlooking the university. The four-floor
building has accessories and stationery on the first floor; kitchen
and table ware--including a lot of very attractive glassware and
crockery--on the second floor; bathroom stuff, interior decorations,
furniture and other items (candles, picture frames, pillows, etc.)
on the third; and gardening products and related items on the fourth.
Turning off of Taichung Kang Road onto Shinshing Road, go back a
couple hundred meters and turn left at the Y-intersection.
Be aware that traffic and parking are hellish, particularly on weekends
and evenings. For downtown residents, try other Working House
outlets at 133-2, Sanmin Road, sec. 3 (tel. 2223-2758); 132, Meitsun
Road, sec. 1 (tel. 2325-6212), or 556, Tatun Road (tel. 2319-8003),
opposite Carrefour.
