Ding Ding Pharmacy

For those families with children at St. Lucy's Center who might find themselves searching high and low for extra Snow formula, hopefully the following will help.

Thanks to my cousin Piers and his family, we discovered Ding Ding Pharmacy in Kaoshiung. It's a pharmacy in a rather un-American sense, mostly full of baby gear and cosmetic products. We bought two jumbo-sized cans of Snow that served us very well for the next few weeks after picking up William. We also purchased a variety of pacifiers, a few of which somewhat resemble the ones used at St. Lucy's.

Dorks that we are, we saved the plastic bag from our purchase. We showed it to the front desk staffer at The Agora Garden Hotel and asked her to call to find out if Ding Ding had a location in Taipei. Indeed they do. We didn't have time to stop by, but in case you'd like to try, on the bottom right is the "taxi card" she drafted for us. You may want to call ahead and make sure the Taipei store carries Snow (the phone number is on the bottom of the bag on the left.)

That is awesome you found Snow.I wish we had more Snow in Taiwan, but hey it forced us to transition to milk once home. Since Kimi was older she really needed that nutrition.
