In conclusion, no check on Covid related is required. I am about to leave fro Taiwan. Any changes to the departure and arrival procedures? It appears to me flying to Taiwan is pretty much like it was in the pre covid days. I am grateful for any updates/confirmation to the departure and arrival procedures. Many thanks in advance.

I am flying from Malaysia and I hold a Malaysian passport. Sorry if this comes too late. Yes, there is not much requirements now. They didn't even check my covid vaccination status, though it is good to keep a hard copy of the certificate for inspection if needed. Upon arrival, you were be asked to scan your hand carry bag and ensure that you do not carry any BBQ pork. If you have fresh fruits, please declare before screening. After that, it is straight to the immigration area for clearance. Here, they will take the capturing of facial image and finger print. Then you will be on your way to customs and into the open area. For departure, pretty similar as precovid days, except that for SG passport, we can do e-Gate clearance instead of the manual departure clearance. You can check with the officer if MY passport is eligible for that. I think it should be so long as the passport comes with the chip. You will need to scan passport at machine, then facial and finger print verification and you will be into the transit area. Enjoy your trip to TW!

gpfun Posted February 3, 2023 Report Share Posted February 3, 2023 For those who are visiting Taipei soon, you may wish to visit the Taipei Lantern Festival around Taipei 101. I was there just before they started and it looks like it is quite amazing. Unfortunately, I was scheduled to return back to Taipei after one week there and missed the chance to visit it. If your time permits, do consider spending an evening around the area. It spans from the Taipei 101 area and the Sun Yen Sun MRT station. Details can be found on the Taipei website as follows: https://tw-light.taipei/en/introduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CECC will remove the requirements that arrivals should take a rapid test on the day of arrival or the first day of their self-initiated prevention period and provide a negative test result taken within two days before going out. The CECC has made a change to the rule on when to use rapid tests. Arrivals will only need to "take an at-home rapid test when they develop symptoms during their self-initiated prevention period." In line with these adjustments to relevant COVID-19 measures, starting 00:00 on February 7 (scheduled arrival time), the number of free rapid tests offered to arrivals will be changed to one.

NeitherHereNorThere Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Tried Mudan on the first day, outcall. Masseur: Alvin Massage was ok, teasing was spot on, ending was good. Price: Pretty ex for outcall, with distance and late night charges. Tried Royal at their ximen outlet. Masseur: Archie Massage was very good, painful, but body felt damn relieve after that! Teasing was used very cleverly to distract the pain in the stroke. Ending was good. Price: Decent, service level very good. E.g. warm massage bed, heated towel, warm oil etc. The little things add up. gpfun and Derendo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBuzzsaw Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Quick reviews from my short trip to Taiwan: Rock- My Home Spa: The famous manager himself. Very polite, quiet, and hot. As someone that's been doing massages for over 15 years he's obviously very experienced, and even incorporates cupping and theragun in the massage. The main thing I was thrilled about was he is a licensed chiropractor too so having some adjustments made was a life saver since I've been on the road traveling for two weeks. Some surprises too but I'll leave it at that. Dean- Royal Spa: Tried on recommendation. Very nice and experienced too, not as good as Rock but still very good overall compared to dozens of massages I've had before. Much more sensual though, and he was really into me so there was a pretty good connection. 888b and thickhead79 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivanguy Posted February 6, 2023 Report Share Posted February 6, 2023 Price of massage in Taipei is getting more expensive. Prior to opening up, it ranges from TWD 2,500-TWD3,000. Nowadays it goes up to TWD3,000. Royal + Gongfu recently raised their price to TWD 3,200 or more. In terms of tips, really depends. Most spa establishments are already giving the masseur to take up 40%-50% of the price. Local Taiwanese patrons do not give tips. Most tips come from overseas patrons. I am usually quite generous in giving tips, regardless if the massage is good or not. A general guide is 10% - i.e TWD 200-TWD300 but it really depends if you want to tip.

One minor point though - officially, those arriving into Taiwan should stay in a quarantine approved facility/hotel and perform the Covid-19 test. Only if the test is negative should we go out. Foreigners arriving in Taiwan are required to full in an arrival card. This card asks for an address in Taiwan. I do not know what will happen if that address given is not one of those that do not comply with the quarantine approved facility - e.g. hostels with bunk beds/shared toilets. I hope this helps.

It was a cloudy day and rain was expected, so I thought it would be the perfect day to visit the onsen. I arrived at about 4.30 pm on a Friday, and it was very crowded indeed. The patrons were of all ages and shapes. At about 6.00 pm, some fathers brought their young sons to the Huang Chi onsen and I could see the children were very comfortable with the place and were having a good time. Everyone was well behaved in the onsen during this period. At about 8.00 pm, the parents left with the children, and the steam room started getting active. I left around this time, and I could see more good looking, fitter and younger clientele coming in. It would seem to me that timing one's arrival at the onsen is important. The Huang Chi onsen also has massage service. The masseurs looked like they were in their 50's. There is a large glass panel between the changing room area and the massage room, so people can see the masseurs at work. A full body massage was TWD1,000 and I felt very relaxed after the massage there. No, I cannot remember the name of the masseur, but I think it his surname was Wu. massage_fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a few people in Taipei talking about this, and they said they would prefer to keep their masks on for their own sake. This attitude towards masks/unmasking is similar to that in Bangkok - even though the government said it is not necessary, many locals still keep their masks on. I was at the Taipei MRT the other day and I saw an MRT official requesting a passenger who was queuing for the train to put on his mask. The man slipped down his mask to take a drink (no food or drinks in the MRT) and was slow to pull back up his mask. massage_fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you please give me some tips because I am nervous because I am discreet and I am afraid to seen by people. Are they comfortable if I get hard?

Yes, for the onsen, it tends to get busier with non-family folks (that is, with kids) after dark and the steam room tends to "heat-up" with activity. I have been there around 7pm and it was pretty packed with people. Sadly I had to leave around 11pm to catch the last bus back to MRT station.

As for cheap and good hotels nearby, I do not know. What I know is that the closest MRT station to Huang Chi (Emperor) Spa is ShiLin (yes, same as the famous night market). Do note that this is a hot spring, and it is NOT located in the middle of the city. It is about 14 stops by bus from ShiLin MRT station. Yes, you can take a taxi to Huang Chi. Because of its relatively remote location, I am hopeful that there will be many taxis available late at night when you depart from Huang Chi to your accommodation of choice. I hope this helps.

I left at 8.30 pm so as not to be stranded in Huang Chi - and I am sure I missed quite a bit of action. I think I shall leave Huang Chi at about 10.00 pm next time, and hope there will be lots of fun before I had to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been there around 7pm and it was pretty packed with people. Sadly I had to leave around 11pm to catch the last bus back to MRT station. Last time I did the opposite direction. I took the last train and bus to huangchi to stay for the night. I brought extra towels, airline issued blown up head rest and eye mask, condoms and lubes. There's a hot pool with about an inch of water for sleeping on but there's the sides which are dry for comfortable sleeping when laid with towel. The hot pool kept one warm at night. In Taiwanese parlance 姦屍 , I'm offering myself to be taken at night when the staff are asleep. At first there were no more than 4 of us after midnight. Unfortunately all were 0 for the same thing. However long after I fell asleep, there's someone unwrapping my towel and penetrated me with the condom that I purposely stuffed inside my towel. The lights were always left full on so I could see who he was. Let's just say I was beginning to regret by then it's too late. Fortunately he was quick to shoot with the usual excuse that I made him too excited. I asked him how he got here. He said he drove here for quick sex姦屍 because he was horny and couldn't sleep. Oh, that's how this works. I had to go clean up at the shower area especially my used ass. The usual which I had to lift up one leg on the bench and bend back to finger myself. This ah pek who's amongst the 4 of us was right behind me and offered to help. Yep, he saw me being used just now. I don't mind since it's kinky and I'm horned up without release just now. I bend over and he fingered me from behind while spraying water up my ass. I dried up and got another set of condom to stuff into my towel and went back to sleep. Again I was later awoke with a cock already inside me. It's an uncle with big tummy but actually quite handsome. Best of all, he's good and lasted till I cum for him. He's not finished because he said the condom made it difficult for him to cum. Meaning he wanted to take me raw. I said no but he can try doggy mount me and fuck me hard if he wanted to. We went to the other side where it's dimmer and I got down on all 4. He mounted me without the awkward tight space just now and pumped till piak piak piak. I was worried about the staff being woken up. But that ah pek showed up again and assured us that he knows the staff and 看水 for us. Of course he also 看我們相幹 In the still of night with the moon as witness, I was deflowered with cold night wind being pumped into me with his huffing and puffing. Till he collapsed onto my back. I was already sore as hell. Ah pek again offered his service which this time was quite a relief for my sore ass. Ah pek teased me 風月 was what I did just now.風為媒 月為證 男男交配 以身相許 That's when I realized ah pek not simple. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not mind giving it a try, but basically, I would be trapped there for about 8 hours until there is a bus for me to leave the place. If I were to feel uncomfortable there, it will be a very long 8 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been there at regular times, it's crowded and there's this sign that prohibit sex. There's this old man who regular check and scold people. From the gossips there then I heard about 姦屍after midnight when the staff stop checking. It's exciting to get fucked so openly. And soaking in the hot spring water was so soothing and healing for a sore sore ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not too sure of the fare and if it is easy to get an Uber late in the night. That's why i chose to leave at 11pm. Cos it seems that the last bus will pass by the bus stop at the hot spring just before 12am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will still be required to wear masks in places like hospitals and medical institutions as well as on public transit, according to Taiwan’s Central Epidemic Command Center on Monday (Feb 20). Restaurants and offices will no longer require masks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
