Taiwan

[Cylinder Head]

So I've been preparing and now the flight is just days away and I totally forgot the diverse group here may have some experience in country. Any suggestions on must see things/bars/etc. Anything cool I should bring back? (Was thinking with no guns, I know they have a big airsoft thing, maybe they have some nice crossbows/compounds.)

I'll be there for 10 days, first day or two is my friend here on the board's wedding, then basically a fairly strict tour by him and the wifey around the island with the last few days back in Taipei. So far I've requested $400 converted for spending $ and fear I'll want to blow more.

I have spent months of my life there, best friend is a model/actor there. You will absolutely blow more money than that, it's not a really cheap place. Where on the island are you staying, Taipei or elsewhere?

If you like clubs an old buddy just opened up the OTS Chess Club, lots of foreign models there.

Taipei for wedding and at end. All over during.

Some of the costs such as planned meals already paid for so my play money is mainly in addition to that. (And I prefer local vendors vs tourist trap and/or nice places.) Was like that in Czech Republic, eat at foreigner establishment for $$$ or eat locally for $3.

What about Japan? I have a 4 hour layover in Narita, so figure 3 hours to screw around. Easy to escape nearby or best to just hold tight in the airport and look at all the really F***ed up idea for porn they got?

It's a medium-long train ride into the city from Narita. It's not worth the short time you have. I don't remember seeing any tentacle porn at the airport. If you can get into the United Red Carpet Club, you have to check out the beer pouring machines. Also, they have free shower facilities in the Club, and it's very nice to finish the trip shiny and clean.

Narita is okay, they have a good selection of high tech gadgets, that are only available in Japan. Beer is quite expensive, but not much else to do there, it's quite a sterile place.

Silver pandas are nice. They bring a premium on eBay. MAKE SURE THEY ARE REAL. Nice digital scale and a strong magnet. Make sure they weigh correctly and are not magnetic.

Those gold taiwanese gold coins were really really popular in CA during 1988-1994 on a neckbands. I remember my parents acquiring bunch of them.
OF course, at that time the Au were fraction of the cost of Au right now.

He can always explore the mystery controls on the toilets.

Another fear of mine. Please tell me most of Taiwan has normal toilets, buttons or no. Don't want to try one of those squating over a trough thingies I've seen.

Little last second for the magnet, can maybe find a old hard drive. But then I'd still need a scale.

You might spend up that money on the damn vending machines at Narita airport alone. Try their 'instant' curry rice!
