recession bites ... ?

Is this the first sign of recession hitting Taiwan?

Hearing of massive discounts in shops, real estate and so on around the world,
i have been waiting for some indication in taiwan
(especially in real estate)

finally, Carrefour has a new "buy one get one free" section in its stores.
I went to check it out,
but so far it is little more than pimping of overpriced goods,
or selling off of unattractive goods,
and if some were half-price, i might bite,
but who needs two bike seat covers,
or two saws,
or two sets of spanners
... ?
