Hi, will be in Taipei this weekend (11/6-11/11) and looking for a ntrp 4.5+ hitting partner. (I think this is around utr 7+?) Willing to split any court fees.

Hello good folks of Taipei, my flight is at 7:30am tomorrow (Sunday) and unfortunately the capsule hotel in the airport is fully occupied. Am I better staying in a hotel near the airport? Or will I run the risk of not being able to get an Uber? Is it safer to stay in the city.

First time taking an early flight so any help is welcomed

Hello! I’m (M27) from Germany and currently on vacation here. I’d love to got to a bar tonight, but don’t want to go alone :)

There are a lot of parades where I am living. On one sign, there is written "曲奏迎神". So welcoming some god with music?

Hello 👋

I'll be leading my family on our vacation to Taiwan next week! I'm just a little confused if I should buy a separate voucher/token for airport mrt to Taipei or if our easy cards can be used instead.

I see other travellers buying tokens separately in advance. Is that for convenience only?

We'll get an easy card with $200 in it when we arrive and plan to use that at the Airport MRT to Taipei. Is this alright? I see the fare to be at around $160 so I was thinking we can just top up later at TMS.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone. My girlfriend and I wants to watch the us election, but can’t find a place to watch it. Do any know where we could watch it? Like a restaurant, bar or so😊

Visiting taipei [F30] - Any queer women down to go to Wonderbar or Taboo on Nov 9 or 10?

Any airsoft BB gun ranges in taipei? or taichung?

Hi everyone! I'll be visiting Taipei through the end of the year and looking to make some going out/rave friends.

I don't have tickets to either right now and I'm also looking for some intel on how I can get a ticket for the Jamie xx show that's sold out.

We were hoping to find some tasty pork free ramen while in Taipei. Any recommendations?

I'm an American traveling in Taiwan for a month and I'm looking for an English-speaking gynecologist to get some hormone tests done. Paying out of pocket is okay, my travel insurance will likely cover it. Mostly just want to find a reputable, female doctor that I can ask my questions to and ideally not have to wait weeks/months for an appointment like I would in the States. Any recommendations?

We’re in Taipei for 5 days, and looking for a great options to visit around Taipei (1-2h commute). It’s pretty cloudy & rainy after typhoon, which area do you recommend to visit for good views and in-door experience? For example, we thought to check Yilan

I've heard of news that Teapot Mountain Trail at Jinguashi will be closed indefinitely. Is this true?

Does anyone know of any stores that specialize in vintage style (can be reissues) Japanese vinyl figures- Toei Sofubi, 70’s Go Nagai stuff, 70’s Toho Godzilla Kaiju, Ultraman fat monsters etc; sort of like the Mandarake stores in Japan?

(Btw I’m staying away from the cool Gundam-style robots, or anything too modern; definitely leaning more toward retro monsters etc at the moment.)

I know there are a couple cool shops in Syntrend and a handful in the old dept store in Ximen. Anyone having any leads on other similar type shops that stock the retro vinyl stuff, much appreciated!

Thanks!

Now that Halloween is over, are there any places that sell discounted costumes in the Taipei, New Taipei, or even the Taoyuan area?

UPDATE: Found and booked one in Zhongshan. Thanks everyone for the recommendations!

Hi! I was reading through reviews trying to book a hotel and saw lots of them commenting about the lack of bidet. This is a letdown for me as the places they've reviewed are very near prime locations such as Ximending.

So, can anyone please give me suggestions on hotels with bidet? I've never tried using only wipes or toilet paper to wipe my ass as we always use water in a dipper and soap or bidet.

We'll be in Taipei for 7 days so I really wish to find a hotel where I can defecate comfortably.

Am a tourist, quite sure I left my wallet in an Uber Taxi while alighting on 30 Oct around 4pm as the driver dropped me off at an unsheltered area and I was rushing to get out of the rain lol....Immediately reported to Uber and after like lots of back and forth, they said the driver didn't find my wallet...

Someone hailed my taxi immediately after I got off so i believe there is a possibility they might have taken it, either for themselves or to return to a police station (too optimistic)?

I've lodged a police report at the Taipei City Police Department and they helped call the Xinyi station but no luck...They said if I want to check with other areas, I need to call them up.

My question is, I have no idea where anyone might have returned my wallet to if they felt kind enough, how am I supposed to determine which station to call...? T_T If they eventually find it after I leave Taiwan, is there a way to get them to contact me?

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am a foreigner in Taiwan and am looking for a self photo studio where we take pictures of ourselves using a remote controller. I think you all are familiar with self photo studios. I googled but couldn't be sure if there is one in Taipei. Pls recommend me photo studios. I am specifically asking for professional photos to use on LinkedIn.

Hello out there :) I'm traveling to Taipei this winter and I'm torn about where to stay.

I've read a lot of different opinions on what areas are best. I'm hoping to have easy access to public transport to explore the city, but also have the location be nice to walk to restaurants, markets, etc. I'm not looking for wild nightlife, but I also don't want to be in too sleepy of an area.

Here are some of the hotels I'm considering, which is the best location?

- Aloft Zhongshan

- The Tango Xinyi

- The Corner House Da'an

- K Hotel Tianjin

- Hotel Relax II

Also, would one night in the Grand Hotel really be worth it?

Thank you!

Currently staying at my uncles in New Taipei near Mega City. Any recommendations for gyms that offer day passes at a reasonable price? Thanks in advance!

Hi all, tourist to Taipei and will be here for a few days. First of all, would like to wish everyone keep and stay safe during these two days typhoon

Would like to ask a few questions

1. Will SOGOs be opening tomorrow ? Or still declared a day off

2. Where can I find live updates and news about the typhoon situation? I saw a few news location but Abit quite generic kind, not like those that state what is affected daily etc

Thank you all in advancee

I'm in Taipei right now and the wind is pretty bad I can feel my hotel building swaying. I'm assuming this is normal? Some reassurance would be great as I'm on my own here!

Sorry if this is a repetitive question, even though it's cold in taipei will there still be humidity or is that only down south like in Tainan etc.

Thank you

Outside is proper storming, still wish to go out. Maybe find a convenience store to stay in.

EDIT: Just made the trip and back. Wind is strong, my hat decide to fly for it's freedom and I couldn't catch it. One store sign busted in front of me, pretty exciting. As I sat in the store, more and more guys come in for some food and drink, outside, the fire department still working, salute to them. If you had never experienced a tropical storm, I think Taipei would be a good place to feel it under a much safer, controled environment.

I want to get a taxi to go someplace. Right now I see enough uber drivers but definitely less than usual.

Do you think around midnight I may get stuck without a ride due to the typhoon?
