Where I am the expat scene sucks bad. I personally don't even wanna hang around most of the guys I've met over here. There are basically 2 kinds of expats in Taiwan, teachers and engineers.
The teachers I've met are pretty much losers, I don't think most of them have ANY qualifications to teach. The engineers are mostly older road warrior types, or young guys turned into heavy drinkers out of boredom. I have met some really cool people, but they usually move on pretty quickly. I'd move on too, but the money is too good right now. It is easy to hook up with certian local girls, but not the ones you'd really want anything to do with.
Most of the nice or semi-pretty girls I've met at work don't go to bars, they go to KTVs or coffee shops with friends.
Tapioca,
The airfare used to be really cheap after the China airlines crash, but now it's gone up considerably, around 250 USA dollars or so.
Sleeper,
Where were you a musician? In Taipei? I've never seen an expat musician around here. There are some horrible Filipino bands that play on the weekends, but that's about it. I'm really interested to know how you hooked up with a band. Please pass on any info.

Some interesting comments these days, guys. It's good to see the Taiwan thread so active again.
BFD, the last time I visited Taipei about three weeks ago JHS was alive and well. FS was no problem. I'll be back again in a couple of weeks, and I can check it out if I have time.
But, lately I've been hanging out with a beautifu girl who loves to spend hour after hour under the sheets! I met her at a special business luncheon. She was helping out the host company for the day. Within an hour, we'd agreed to meet up later that night for her birthday party at a local KTV (not the kind with the girls, of course!). A week later, when I returned to town, we hopped on a plane to a golf resort in ChiaYi and had a wonderful, wild weekend there. I've also had some fun times with a couple of bettlenut girls who I met by chatting them up while they were selling their wares.
I mention this only because I find it amusing to hear other guys talk about how tough it is to pick up local girls. I've found it actually pretty easy, although I must say speaking Mandarin is a major plus. Without that, it would be very, very difficult.
Now, comparing Taiwan to China relative to picking up girls.. well, there's no comparison. IMHO, there is almost no girl outside of Beijing and Shanghai who cannot be easily seduced. They seem to welcome it! What a wonderful attitude!!
Lately, I've heard about some very interesting "clubs/KTVs" in Chungli that are worth exploring. So, a local friend of mine in Taiwan has agreed to search out one of the places and we're going to pay a visit in a few weeks. I'll post a FR, of course.

Where the fuck are you Dana?? In the caves of Taiwan?? Xpats have some of the nicest time / resources here in Taiwan (except if you are located in the country side of course) I have been in Taiwan the past 13 years (physical staying time is probably 5 to 6 years in combined) and the resources here are great for xpats. Are you in Kaosung?? If you are, that city is big enough to support xpats activities¡K¡K¡K. They love us here and we love them ¡K¡K. Now if you are somewhere in the country side like Pengdon, Chia-Yi, Yulin ¡K you are fucked and I don¡¦t even see why you would be located there at all.
Yeah, most xpats here are business/teachers/engineer/ or the last type criminals from the west escaping from the law. Try the metro. cities Dana or best yet, fly your ass to BKK would be my choice and looks like you got that down pretty much.
Ah ¡K BKK ¡K.. land of wonders ¡K. I just ran out of excuses to tell my office why I need to go to BKK ¡K¡K.. :)

I feel sorry for you guys who are living in Taipei. The girl situation sucks and so does the food.
MM [/i][/QUOTE]
You obviously don't know what real Chinese food tastes like moron. You are not in the US, if you want Orange Flavored Chicken you will have to go back.
Taipei has some of the best food around. There is great food to be had in both cheap and expensive restaurants. Ask around for recommendations.

I finally got laid.
Wednesday night I went to Carnegies. Meet a girl in line. Older, not as good looking as the younger girls, but hell, my standards were pretty low after over a month of rosie palms. The music in that place is horrible.
Oh, but before that I went to Hong Kong for the day, for business. Stayed there over night and I meet someone from guess where? Thailand. My Thai is half decent so I chatted her up and away to my hotel we went. I stayed the night in Kowloon. In the area around the Hyatt around mid night there are girls walking around. 1000 hong kong dollars. Made me kinda sad, since I'm used to giving Thai women 1000 baht. But we had fun.

I'm located in Tainan. I've not been fortunate enough to stay in the larger cities in Taiwan, but I still know plenty of expats that agree Taiwan is a horrible place to find women. Taiwan is great for many things, but shagging pretty girls is not one of them. Even the Taiwanese men are going to Vietnam to find wives.
I did say in an earlier post that it is easy to get laid here by a certain few girls who go to expat bars, but they are usually the bottom of the barrel. I think if you are a nerdy or reclusive type of guy who never gets pretty girls in your own country, or an older guy who can't find a lady his age in decent shape, it's probably a great place.
For a young guy with fairly high standards I think it sucks. Also, 90 percent of the girls can't speak a word of english, so even if you see a pretty girl you wanna meet, you better know how to speak mandarin. And if you get past that point, you'll most likely have to date her for a long time before she gives you anything. Who needs that when you're just trying to get laid?
I LOVE asian women, and whenever I've gone to Thailand, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, or even Hong Kong I see beautiful girls everywhere! Of course I have seem some beautiful girls here, but they are really few and far between. I really think that Taiwanese women are probably the ugliest in all of Asia.
Anyway, I don't want to start a war about it because it's just my dumb opinion. I have heard that nothern Taiwan is better because more girls speak english, so maybe I'll take a week off soon and check out Taipei, but for the same cost I can take a week vacation in Thailand and really have some fun!

I have recently relocated to Taiwan and know nothing about the sex scene in Taipei. Can anyone tell me which expat pubs to go for easy pickup?

DOES ANYONE KNOW IF AIDS/HIV IS A SERIOUS ISSUE IN TAIPEI OR MORE GENEREALLY TAIPEI? I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANYONE THAT I KNEW WHO HAS THESE DISEASE
-
AIDS is not an issue in Taiwan because studies have shown that Taiwanese women are immune to the disease. Years and years of inhaling the pollution in Taiwan has made all Taiwanese women on the small island resistent to HIV and any other STD's. The reason you have not heard anyone with this disease is because THERE ARE NONE WITH IT. Condoms are provided for your peace of mind because for studies have shown that:
Peace of Mind = Higher/Stronger Orgasmic Release
tapioca
yeah, i'm bored out of my mind right now
-
Why don't they just sell cans or inhalers of Taiwan's polluted air overseas. You breath some everyday and it's like a AIDS vaccine! I gotta call my lawyer...

Just want to reassure the bros out there that the special services at the Taipei saunas are alive and well. In fact, the price has gone down in at least one place. I just returned a few minutes ago from Caesarworld Sauna. I don't normally go there because it's more expensive and the girls aren't quite as good as at JingHua, but I'm staying at a hotel very close to CW, so I figured I'd give it a try again.
The normal price this year at CW as been NT4,800 for FS, up from the usual NT4,500. At JingHua, it's always been NT4,200. Well, according to the mamasan at CW, they have been hurting for business so they have now reduced the price back to NT4,200. She was begging me to go upstairs; she had nearly no customers tonight. But, I was with some friends who just wanted a regular massage, so that's what we did.
But, at least now we know FS is still available at the saunas. Unfortunately, the Taipei mayor was re-elected for another term, so the situation isn't likely to improve anytime soon.
