Straddlers of China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and those who wish they were 12 years, 2 months ago@tascha, @shenan, @microwave : new Taipei meet up thread :)
So, sk has suggested Friday night at around 8.30/9pm, which definitely works for me :) could we poss meet at the nearest MRT station to where we want to go, because I’ve not been here too long and am pretty useless at finding places at the best of times… should be good!-
Yes! And yes, let’s meet at an MRT. Michelle, what’s the nearest one to this cute place we’re going to?
-
I apologize for this late reply– I actually can’t make it Friday :-/ Let me see if I can find the bar anyways.
-
But y’all have fun. I’m going to be in HK next week, but when I come back I hope we can still hang out =)
-
Hey, hope you’re having fun times in HK – are you back by Sunday by any chance? Cause, after a successful first taipei-straddlers meet up, ‘sk’ and I were thinking of going somewhere to eat, would be awesome if you could join us.
Also, I’ve just realised that Jailhouse is situated not too far from my house, so field trip at some point..? x
p.s.…[Read more]-
awesome. glad you guys had fun in taipei.
and totes down for a sunday meetup. would a lunch work?-
lunch would be great :)
-
Yes, lunch is fine with me. Also! You guys, lesbian film! In an actual cinema! French! Field trip, asap? http://www.spot.org.tw/etheater/ (Gigola)
-
Haha sorry I realise I should have written something a little more practical than just ‘lunch yay’ – shall we go to one of the veggie places that sk wrote about below? Lesbian film field trip = yes. I can do thurs or fri, but cause of class the earliest viewing I can make is 15.50.
-
Sure! Shall we meet at Taipower MRT, maybe, and then walk somewhere from there? The Happy Tomato place is a like a ten min walk – but there’s also so many other options, obvs. Does one/one thirty work?
-
HI FRIENDS! One o’clock at Taipower MRT sounds fabulous. Look for Chinese girl with glasses and a bob. And YES on movie!!!
-
awesome :) I’m embarrassingly pink after a day at the beach, really hoping it’ll calm down over night but if not.. then look out for a pink, embarrassed girl. x
-
Ok sorry this is last minute, but the station is really big. Let’s meet at Exit 1, just for clarity’s sake and we can figure out where to go from there. See you all soon!

Yes, all of the above – I also hope that you’re having fun in HK, and are maybe back by Sunday! :)

-
yeh of course michelle just let us know when you’re back :) sk, microwave, and anyone else for that matter – I’m still game if you are :)
-
Oh, Michelle, that’s a shame! But have fun in HK. I’m still in for Friday, though, yesss :) Um, there are quite a lot of open air bar places in Ximen that can be quite good, if it isn’t raining?
-
Sure, sounds good :) Ximen MRT at 9pm then?
-
Yes! Exit 6, inside the covered bit at the top of the escalator? In case it isn’t immediately obvious, by virtue of my being a foreigner who looks like she’s looking for someone etc, then I have brown hair and it’s kind of chin length. Also, can I interest you in jazz at Sappho afterwards? One of my friends knows someone who’s playing, and so some…[Read more]
-
Ok sounds good :) I’m short, with long dark brown hair and a fringe. Plus I’ll be the one walking around, looking confused and peering into the faces of foreigner women looking for a sign of recognition.. (if there are any major problems I’ll call you). Also totally up for jazz, Sappho etc :) see you tomorrow!

Ha – I wondered where the post went! I really want to go to Taboo but have crutches, and I’m supposed to be taking them really seriously for at least two weeks. And when I was sitting back icing my foot, not using the crutches yet, it seemed completely reasonable that I could just get on with my life, no problem, the crutches were my friends BUT…[Read more]
:S doesn’t sound fun.. If nearby bars don’t work out then I have a Plan B which is, would you prefer to go to Jailhouse instead? If my memory serves me correctly that’s more of a bar, right? I wanted to check out both places at some point anyway, so we could go to Jailhouse first then Taboo when you’re crutch-less again, so you don’t miss out?
basically both are fine by me :)
OK! So I have been google earth-ing Taboo and, from scanning up and down the street, I can’t see any obvious bars right next door. SO, yes, let’s check out Jailhouse. There’s a kind of ricketty staircase up to it, but I think that’ll be ok – I can hop that far, I reckon. What time are you thinking? 8? 9?
Hey y’all… so I’m going on a family trip Sunday which means I’m not sure how late I can stay out on Sat night. If I can go, I’ll definitely come to Jailhouse :D
Coolio. Shall we say 9 at Jailhouse? I’ll be bringing along my straight-but-incredibly-enthusiastic-about-lesbians roommate (female), if that’s ok.
Michelle – do you want to message us your number so we can keep in touch more easily?
Yes, 9 at Jailhouse! And Michelle, I think there’s a limit to how totally crazy I can go on one leg, so you can keep pace with me and then you’ll probably be fine for your family trip :) I’ll be bringing my apparently-straight-but-LOVES-lesbian-bars friend (also female), so I hope that’s ok, too!
