Taipei

[WindAngel]

I have been scammed a few times so I am quite familiar with the games they are playing.

I occasionally will stop to chat with them, and may go into the shop just for the fun of it. I always ask to pay after. I have them agree to a list of things so it is difficult for them to scam me. I rejected 90% the girls coming to my room so they won't be able to charge me. They do have a few prettier ones as baits but I don't care, and I just do what I want to which is part of the agreement. After a while, they will show me pictures of their sisters, cousins and roommates to try to get my business so they can scam me. It is kind of fun to see their frustration. I don't live in Taiwan but I grew up here. It will be difficult for non native speakers to do what I did.

If you have not been to the older buildings, that means you still have a lot to explore. The price are all the same, 1500 for 15 to 20 minutes. The least amount I have paid is 1300. Not all girls will watch time but I notice many Taiwanese girls will set alarm on the phone. The girls managed by older woman usually don't watch the clock, and the older woman usually don't enforce the time either. I know because the older woman replied to me that the time did not matter when I asked. I take it that means 15 to 30 minutes will be fine.

In Cebu now. Just finished Taipei trip. Have passed through many times but never stayed there.

Hotel- Highly recommend Sunrise business hotel very close to Taipei main station. Got it on Agoda around $60 a night. Got a room on the 10 floor. Spacious, clean, bathtub.

Taipei Main Station is a confusing place to see the least. But there are maps on the wall everywhere and all have English signs. Transportation to anywhere by Train, subway, bus is excellent. Night market food is excellent although caused me acidity.

Sightseeing is like mini China. Having lived in China did not impress me much. China is a larger scale and much prettier.

Girls are a mix of bordering ugly to fairly pretty. Plenty of very pretty Korean girls visiting. Seems like Koreans are everywhere. Tried contacting online without much success. Even Philippine and Indonesia workers are scared to meet you for some reason.

Had two Philippine girls lined up before going. One dropped out after me saying I am just there for company and fun and the other wanted $300 US dollar per day. Unlike Hong Kong where girls are open for fun. All of them hang out on Sundays at the main station. They are all in groups exchanging chit chat. I guess that is their day off. Talked to a very pretty Muslim Indonesia girl but very shy and no go. Went to a small massage place and got a HJ to release pressure. No offer of FS. Expensive.

Taiwan is not a mongers destination IMHO.

Since I was going to a mongers paradise that is Philippines it is no loss. Three girls from DIA staying with me two nights each. Will post experience and hopefully some pics.

These are pictures some of the more nasty ST places I visited at LST. These are in old apartment buildings.

My god, that looks disgusting!. The floor and tub looks rife with bacterial diseases.

The laws are still the same, but it is now common practice for the courts / police to send any legal violations that a foreigner does to the Ministry of Labour. Before it only ended up there for high level incidents like drugs or the like, but for the last year or so they have been sending almost everything through. MOL has a very low tolerance and will cancel your work permit, regardless if you are willing to pay the fine.

I see. Is it because of the new government?

Going rate for tea shops?

Do not go to the tea shops. Tea shops are the ones directly off the main night market. As noted in post 167, you will be ripped off and leave angry / disgusted. The last few posts about last are about an area about a block or two away from the night market. The flats used are regular clean places and nothing like the photo in post 167. If at any time, someone is using high pressure tactic and physically pulling you into a shop, then it's probably a disgusting tea shop. Leave.

Many of them are scams. Their common goal is to extract the maximum amount of money you have. If you have 2000, they probably will tell you a package for 2000. If you only have 1000, they may give you the same package for 1000. You are at their mercy after you pay.

For the honest ones, the structure is similar to KTV but much cheaper. Girls will rotate in and out. You can't keep a specific girl unless you want to pay extra charge. I don't remember the numbers so I can't post it here, but it could be NTD 300/ HR for the room and the snacks.

Hmm, I had thought that Taiwan was pretty lenient with these rules. Sounds like you know people who have actually gotten deported for this? Genuinely curious, as I had always heard prostitution laws were not heavily enforced in Taiwan.

So I googled it. There is no law against a person paying for sex, but there are laws against selling, the maximum fine is 30 K, and maximum jail time is 3 days.

It is not new. That area has history. I have mentioned it in one of my posts here. There are several clusters, and different crews / countries operating at different time. You just need to walk around and observe, visit side alleys and alleys that are like tunnels. Later at night, like after 10 PM, you can see the girls line up on the street like merchandise with an old lady who does translation.

Several Taiwanese girls I have met seem to treat this like a day time job so their hours are like 11 am - 6 pm.

That's good to know, I was curious if this was night time only but if I can go visit during the day over the weekends that is awesome.

Depends on who you are, local or foreigner. Most of the time it's a fine of 1000-2000 NTD. But if you're a foreigner here with ARC / work permit they are now reporting you to the NIA which can also deport you.

People have been deported for being drunk on a bicycle, not even a scooter.

I was in the area, so I took a quick look and wow. You're right. I never knew about this particular section of LST before. There was some top quality there. I'd say the majority of the ones I saw tonight were 7/10 and up. I even saw a 10/10, but didn't partake cause I was just taking a quick scout before meeting friends for dinner.

LST vets, is this a new thing or have these alleyways always been here?

I doubt you can find sex with young girls around LST. More of them works in tea shops which are horrible rip-offs.

I'm curious, anyone know what the penalty is for customers caught by police in Taiwan? I know the girls usually get deported if they are foreign. But what happens to the customer?

The law depends on who you are, a local or foreigner. If a foreigner with a work permit they normally take you to the NIA for anything you got arrested or fined for, so you might be deported as well for not being a good citizen. People have been deported for driving a bicycle drunk.

If a local then it's normally around 1000-2000 ntd fine.
