Hello, /trv/.
I've seen them mentioned on here, but which of you degenerate weaboo faggots has actually attended a /trv/ meetup?
Are they worth attending?
>used to work in mainland China for several years
>first year out there was meme life
>self-taught Mandarin
>never been to Taiwan but work are sending me there for 2 months this summer
>very excited because haven't been to Asia for going on 5 years, have never been to Taiwan and will have some time to travel all over and check the place out
>early 30s now and recently single again
>non-weaboo, non-faggot
>would never consider something like this back in the West but one thing I remember about Asia is that normal rules don't apply
So is it a worthwhile time? Or is it cape wearing neckbeards arguing with r/asianmasculinity?

memes are that you will certainly get laid if you are white.

Well, the memes were right about Trump, I suppose.

Good lord I did Taiwan in the summer and that is the most physically uncomfortable I have ever been. Mainland China is the Arctic compared to that. And because of the heat and the humidity the bugs (which are everywhere) get HUGE.
Pic related, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial in Taipei. What you can't tell is that it's like 40 degrees C and 100% humidity in this shot, and it's like 10 pm

Taiwan is goat, so underrated
Food is cheap and good, from streetfood to Michelin stars
Nature is amazing, people are super friendly
Living is relatively cheap for a first world country and Taipei has all the metropolitan things you could want
Tropical too!
But the heat in the summer is unholy and I have arachnaphobia and I would rather eat shit then touch some of the spiders I've seen

I pretty much ate my way through Taiwan. The food is cheap and some of the best I've ever had. I'm planning on going back just to eat

The north has Jiufen, the oceanside town that Spirted Away was based on. For sights, Taipei has 101, Elephant Mountain, Taiwan Democracy Memorial Park, and Tamshui. For art, it has Huashan 1914 Creative Park, Songshan Creative Park & MajiMaji. If you
like Burmese food, go to Huaxin rd aka "Little Burma". Night Marketwise, Raohe & Linjiang have tons of good food.
The east coast is a nature lovers paradise, you have Yilan / Hualien / Taidong. Yilan I've yet to go to, but have heard the scenery's good, and it has the Kavalan Whiskey distillery. Hualien has Taroko Gorge which is impressive. Taidong can take you to some of the outer islands, Green Island & Orchid Island.
Down south, you have Tainan, Kenting, and Kaohsiung.
Tainan is the old capital, and now the food center of Taiwan. If you like history, go to Anping or Chikan Tower. For art, go to Qimei Museum, Ten Drums, The Cultural Center or Xinmei rd. For eating as much good food as you can, just walk around Guohua rd / Youai rd, or go to Huayuan night market. You can also get to Penghu Island from Anping.
Kaohsiung is a lot like Tainan, but with more western influence. Here you can find good European / American food. As for places to see, go to Pier 2, LDR, Xiziwan, Lotus Pond, Fo Guang Shan Temple, Monkey Mountain, Rueifang night market, Cijian Island, Xiaoliuqiu.
Kenting is where everybody goes to the beach.
As for the west, you have Alishan National Park if you like ancient trees. Ershui / Jiji for cycling in rice paddies / mountains. Yuanlin for a good small town experience. Taichung for Indian food and Luce Chapel. Miaoli for Tea Sage Hut.
Lmk what you're in to and I can give you more specific suggestions
