I guess I meant to say Friday the 17th, after dragon boat festival. I'll post in the Line chat closer to the date to see where I should train up to and visit.

Yeah worst comes to worst you can easily catch a taxi, but unless you're heading to like Danshui or something you can get basically anywhere in Taipei City within an hour. And around Da'an is even better because that poo poo is p central.

It's 4am, I'm sitting at Taoyuan, the only thing open with food and drinks is a seven. There's a ton of Alishan stuff. Did I even leave Chiayi?

I left Taoyuan on the day before it completely flooded. I wonder if the air conditioning and everything is finally back on...

ntan1 posted:Ah, it was 2. So I guessed they fixed it. Yeah, 2 was fixed. Couldn't tell anything happened. Otherwise, today was awesome. Hopped down to Verizon to see if I could get a SIM card for my phone. Some redneck going on about "dem smart phones" hears me talking about my phone being from Taiwan and this happens:  "Excuse, me. Are you an American citizen?" : "Uh, Yes." "Where you stationed?": "I'm in Taiwan." "How you like living with all 'dem terrorists?": "We don't have any of those there. It's pretty quiet." "Do you use numbers with that (points at phone) or do ya gotta use their Chinese Japanese alphabet or whatever?": "Just normal numbers." I kicked myself after the fact that I could've made his head explode if I said I used Arabic numbers.

Moon Slayer posted:None of you got busted for growing weed and killed yourselves in court yesterday, right? Suicide over a four year sentence? I know Taiwanese prison ain't exactly a picnic but come on, what the hell kind of reaction is that. I suspect the world isn't missing much. Also, smuggling two 8 inch blades? It sure seems like he was already in custody, so how does that even happen

maybe four years was too scary and eight years would've made him a lot happier

To be fair if my Chinese was that bad and I thought someone would eventually come for me unannounced in the night, handcuff me to the floor and put three bullets in me, I'd likely take matters into my own hands. As is though it's fairly tragic regardless of what was going through his head.

If the Brass Monkey were in Bangkok it would be one of the superficially respectable ones that later turns out to be a Russian mafia front or a boiler room scam or something dumb like that. But the food would probably be better.

My wife and I will be going to Taiwan for 5 days, we'll arrive in Taipei, stay there for 1 night, then down to Kenting for 2 nights, and finally Kaohsiung for 1 night. We are adventurous eaters and particularly like Japanese style izakayas where you can order tons of different things for very little money and eat loads of it while getting drunk. I'd like some recommendations on places to eat that are like that. The places can be Chinese-speaking only, totally obscure, have no seats, or even be dirty and we won't care, we just want very good food for as little money as possible with as much choice as possible, since that's how we normally eat in Japan. Do you have any recommendations?
