A professor gives an example from her own experience: This year in Taiwan she installed an imported faucet in her bathtub, and the plumbing and electrical supply store charged her NT $ 2,800. Not long after, she went to Hawaii on vacation and, much to her surprise, stumbled upon a similar faucet selling for only US $ 20--or NT $ 500.
一位教授便舉出實例：她今年初在國內換裝一個進口的沐浴蓮蓬頭，水電行索價二千八百元；沒想到時隔不久，她到夏威夷度假，在當地商店赫然發現功能相同的貨品，標價竟只廿美元，折合台幣才五百多元而已。
