    I don't remember the exact address, but it's on Chung Hao Dong Lu near the Taipei 24 hour fitness center. Unfortunately, I don't recall the number of the side street. I'm sure if you ask someone in Taipei or buy a Taipei Walker, you'll be able to find it....

    actually i haven't been back in like ~ 3 years. my family lives in Xin Dian, Taipei County, Taiwan. at least that is why i think they live ... lol.

    well, did they make a new bullet train? ... or do you mean the subway they created like 5 years ago.

    well, i really enjoyed the subway system. it unnaturally clean and efficient. -sigh- america can learn a few things from taiwan; instead of always looking down at them. =.=

    Sweet. My wife's from Tai Chung, but now her family is in Xi Men Ding in Taipei.

    I went back to Taipei the year that the subway opened. Yes, it's super clean compared to the nasty subway in New York. Plus it's air conditioned and the people don't litter or spray paint all over the place.

    No, I'm talking about the new speed train connecting Northern & Southern Taiwan. Supposedly you can get from Taipei to Tainan in 2.5 hours instead of flying.

    Yep. Something about miscalculating the cost or other....but I'm not too up on Taiwanese politics. You should definitely go back...the food there is great. I went back last year as well, so I'll probably have to wait a year before I can go back again....

    My parents are from Taiwan, but grandparents are all from China so I guess I'm wai shen ren. Anyways speaking of Taiwan singers, David Tao is a great singer, Jolin Tsai is alright, she's hot though haha.
