Tintin Box in Taiwan is no longer a Tintin store

#1 · Posted: 7 Sep 2008 19:14

So I'm in Taiwan and the only Tintin place on the island is called Tin Tin Box and Noodles. It's listed on this site, but I haven't been able to find anything else about it. I know it's a restaurant but that's it. Does it have anything to do with Tintin at all?
Note: Before I return home I will have been in Japan three times: two layovers and one visit. BUT the visit is only at one point and for a very brief period and the layovers are only about an hour each. I will be within an hour of a Tintin store both ways and there's nothing, nothing, nothing I can do about it! It'll be the closest I've ever been to a real Tintin store...and may ever be...

Edit:
Wait, never mind. Additional research proved Tin Tin Box and Noodles to be a restaurant that serves...well, noodles. There's nothing Tintin about it.
Sigh.

!!?? I was in Taiwan in 2005, there were three Tintin stores on the island then: one in Hsinchu City and two in Taipei (Tintin Box in Core Pacific City/Living Mall; and Tintin counter in Eslite Books, Xinyi store).

Update: Just received confirmation from a contact in Taipei: there are no Tintin shops in Taiwan any more. (What a great shame!)
