i personally wouldnt go with honma but since they're somewhat lighter and prefered by asians given their smaller frames, its usually just a spec preference. ping, taylor made and callaways are still really expensive here. avoid golf accessories - best suited for the white collar types out here.

if anything golf related, a polo shirt would be best.

like i said before, fruits are expensive out here and thus can also be shared.

When you're in Taiwan, pick up some mua chi and tai yang bing and you'll be set. If you happen to go to Hua Lien, Zheng Ji has the best mua chi. Otherwise, ask around.
