I love living in Taiwan, p.1: Jos Designs wooden hair sticks

One of my favorite things to do in Taipei is visit artist and designer markets and pick up things I'd never be able to find back in the United States. Take Jos Designs wooden hair sticks, for example. Each one is carved out of hardwood and inspired by motifs in traditional Chinese art:

I have two carved from blue sandalwood and they smell wonderful.
