How cool are Taiwan goons and should I come (from Korea) for 8 days in February? Full disclosure: I have shared a bed with Caberham.

Okay, you'd be splitting hairs over NT$1 a page versus NT$2, but as Ravendas mentioned, those print shops can bind stuff as well. I always preferred it much more to printing off stuff at 7-11. If you're near NCKU in Tainan, basically all of Shengli Rd. (near the Dasyue Rd. intersection) is littered with these print shops. I live on that intersection

If that's the same thing that's making the rounds on Facebook then IIRC there should also be several pictures that amount to "the working class of Hong Kong is filled with 帥哥, while in Taiwan some people have the audacity to not be beautiful" (did make me a little curious to revisit HK though, ohoho)

I've heard good things about Eight Elephants. http://www.eehostel.com/ It should be noted that hostels are technically illegal in Taipei, if not in Taiwan, and so they'll make you sign a month long lease under the pretense that you are a legal renter. It can of course be broken at will. Edit: OK, not illegal, but the requirements are very strict and so a lot of places can't get the proper licenses and so operate illegally.

I enjoyed my stay at Eight Elephants, I definitely recommend it. A bit tricky to find the first time but really quite close to a MRT station and the girls who run it are great.

Have you guys seen the beer selection at Welcome Mart lately? Because it suddenly became phenomenal. My local one has had a cooler stocked with a couple of German and Belgian malt liquors and Bodingtons for dirt cheap for a couple of months now, but today I saw them stocking about ten meters of shelves with a selection I've never seen in Taiwan outside of a precious few specialty bars, and at a tiny fraction of the price, too. A thing of beauty that was.  Edit: Here's a portion of what was there already. I wonder how the Iron Maiden beer is.

There's a shop in Kaohsiung that has a crazy amount of beer. 15 different ciders. It is down the road and I love it.

Here's an important tip to remember: the "Arrive before" date on your visa is NOT the "visa expires on" date. This should be obvious unless you are me and therefor an idiot. Time to take another trip to Hong Kong and pay another fine. Thank god my work visa is already processed.

Atlas Hugged posted:My Welcome does not have that awesomeness. Seems like it's just the big ones. The one at the Guting MRT had a huge selection, but a few blocks away on Tongan St. the selection is much smaller. I imagine if you live outside the normal foreigner areas it is even worse. I'm pretty happy that they have a decent selection of ciders. Also, does anyone know if any of the 100 different tea shops sell Thai Iced Tea? It's the orange looking tea with condensed milk. I swear, they are crazy not to all carry it because that poo poo is liquid amazingness and I would drink myself into a diabetic coma if I could find it easily.

I got one in my neighborhood that sells it, along with 泰式拿鐵, which is $20 more, made with milk instead of creamer, and is generally superior. I have no idea what you'd do with this information. It is rare at tea stands, though, you're right. Thai restaurants should have it though, and they can probably do it take-out style for you. I've had some pretty loving foul Thai tea here, so it depends on the quality of the Thai restaurant.

Not in Taipei but Thai Iced tea is very easy to find in the 瑞豐 (Ruei Fong?) night market in Kaohsiung. It tastes quite similar to the ones I've had in the States at least. I do love Thai iced tea.
