       With the economy declining and money worries growing, Simamura provides a nice option for shoppers this Chinese New Year. This chain store provides the latest Japanese fashions at reasonable prices for men and women, from infants to senior citizens. With a new sale every two weeks and chain-wide clearance sales every Thursday through Sunday, the prices here are hard to beat. Japanese women's purses are just NT$290 to NT$890, while women's shoes are as cheap as NT$90, with boots for an amazing NT$690. The most popular Japanese leisure wear is available for both women (NT$690-NT$1,290) and men (NT$890-NT$1,990), along with women's throws for an astounding NT$490. Even your newborn can be fashionably dressed in Japanese-style cotton clothing for only NT$89 NT$290. Light and soothingly-soft single or double woolen blankets (NT$1200/2200), double or single futons (NT$890/1,800), and complete bed sets for less than NT$3,000 can all be found. Just as good, Simamura provides reliable service, quality goods and 24 stores nationwide. -- Translated by Daniel Ellingburg
