gpfun Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I was in Taipei earlier this year and was recommended to this Taiwan straight massage place: http://www.footmassage.com.tw/I went to the Nanjing Branch during midnight on Sunday and was pretty packed with people as well. I tried the 60-min body traditional massage and was pretty good. Had a good night rest that night.They have male masseurs there and pretty matured ones. So if you are into matured or chubby massuers, you are in luck! But do be careful as this is a straight massage place. Not too sure if there are gay massuers.Place is open 24 hours. While waiting for my massage, saw some Japanese men going there for massage too... My type.. haha...Have a good time at Taipei! tty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpfun Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hi LCIf you wish to stay in a reasonably priced hotel with convenient location, you may wish to consider City Inn, which is near Taipei Train Station. You can visit the website for details and to make reservation: http://www.gocityinn.com/Double room is going at NT2,600.From airport, you can take the airport bus (Cost around NT150) to Taipei station and then it is a few minute walk to the hotel. Room wise, it can be on a small side, but it is clean and safe as it is a new hotel. Heard from my friend that condom is provided in the room too.

tennis_uncle Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 I was first time in Taipei last year with the ahem! and we stayed at Royal Castle in the Ximenting area. Go read the reviews at asiarooms... see if u can spot mine. Its a decent, fabulously located budget hotel just 5mins walk from Ximen MRT station with loads of shopping, makan, and entertainment in the area. The new 'Bears Village' is also nearby.

Buaya Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Taipei ah, ah Lup?Royal Castle is good... Located not too far from Ximen station (which is located at the famous Ximen Ding shopping area) and nice rooms. Inclusive of traditional Taiwanese breakfast...Paradise is also not bad, though I do not like its neighbours as the Taipei small lanes are usually not very nice to look at... Located also near the Ximen station and right along the road, you can walk past CD shops and eateries...1 more you can try is Rainbow... Nice name right? Hahaha... But is is NOT a gay place apparently... It is located right in the middle of Ximen Ding and is extremely popular...Oh... I so want to go back Taipei... Maybe can plan a trip in December... But cannot let ah Boy know... got to make him think I am not interested till nearer the date... Else he will talk about it the WHOLE time and be extremely disappointed if I cannot go... Have fun!

Buaya Posted October 25, 2007 Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 The usual touristy stuff, I guess...Btw, Taiwan is not very touristy... Due to political and historical reasons, the island was more geared towards building a stable economy and defending against PRC...As such, you do have to travel a bit to see the touristy places...Where are you staying in Taipei?A few MUST GO places include: Quote Visit me @ http://ibuaya.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can try checking the itineraries from the tour agencies to get an idea of where to go to... Taiwan tourism is only recently taking off...

LupCheong Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 FutureStar Hotel EntranceMe and Barbara stayed at Future Star Hotel (www.futurestarhotel.com.tw) because it is reasonably priced and it's close proximity to XiMen MRT (only 1 minute walk away). However we chose the mid range room at about $65 per night. Do take note that FutureStar Hotel is not a stand alone hotel as it only occupies 7th floor to 10th floor of a building. The size, cleanliness and comfort of the room was close to our Hotel81 standard. We even spotted a straight taiwanese young couple coming to the hotel for a quickie! Here are some other budget hotels I spotted near XiMenDing which you may also consider if you decides to visit Taipei.

LupCheong Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Chuan Tang Hot Spring at BeitouWe decided to visit Chuan Tang Hot Spring at Beitou on a Friday afternoon as it was recommended by a PLU friend. Entrance fee was about $10 SGD (yes cheaper than diamond ). However we we quite dissapointed by the measly crowd and size of the place. There were only about 7 of us inside the area and according to our cab driver on our way back, the crowd only comes in after dark and during the weekends. What a bummer! There were only a hot spring pool (about 3 times the size of diamond jacuzzi pool), one small cold pool, a waterfall and jacuzzi pool plus a steamroom inside.Most of the people in the hot spring are skinny greying uncles so there wasn't much eye candies. We spent most of the time soaking ourselves in the waterfall jacuzzi as the hot spring were too hot for us to bear (about 45 degree celcius) and our skins were cooked red after about dipping in for 10 mins!The only tantalising thing I saw was a naked balding chubby uncle standing facing the jacuzzi jet water and thrusting himself forward and backward as if penetrating an imaginary person.

LupCheong Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>Shilin Night Market</span>The die die must try food at Shilin Night Market is the XXL Chicken Cutlet at only $2.50 SGD! It was simply hot and delicious and there is always a queue. Me and Barbara ate one each almost every night we were there! The rest of the food there are so so and we just tried for the sake of trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LupCheong Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 DanShui Old StreetDanshui Old Street was also a popular place bustling with activities just like Shilin Night Market with lots of food. Highly recommended. However we did not take a bus or ferry to DanShui Yu Ren Ma Tou as there was a huge crowd waiting for the ferry. Furthermore, there was no sun when we were there to watch the sunset as it was cloudy everyday.Cute Chubby Fisherman spotted selling some seafood squids!

LupCheong Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Ye Lin Hot SpringAnother hot spring we decided to try was called Ye Lin at Beitou as recommended by a local taxi driver. It was slightly bigger than Chuan Tang but as you can see, it was rather deserted (that's why I can take some snap shots ). There were only about 5 of us there together and we left after half an hour as it was rather dissapointing with no steamroom and jacuzzi plus there was a smell in the hot spring.

LupCheong Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 WuLaiAnother popular tourist destination is WuLai. We wanted to try the hot spring there but from the brochures we had, we realised that most of the hot spring are actually commercial hotel style hot spring with hot bath tubs so we decided to give it a miss.There was nothing much to see here and as the popular waterfall and cage train was quite a distance away and up a hill, we decided to give up and depart.Another cute chubby moustache taxi uncle spotted!

They even queued up nicely on the right side of escalators so that others can rushed pass them. I guess we have a long way to go in term of polite behaviour.
