Neihu's Hidden Eats?
So I'm heading to Neihu Technology Park next week for a conference. It's a bit of a work trip, but I'm hoping to sneak in some exploring. Everyone keeps talking about the amazing night markets, but… more
Neihu's got some awesome local spots tucked away, yeah. Forget the usual touristy stuff. Try hitting up the smaller alleys near MRT stations – you’ll find tons of little family-run eateries and food stalls. Look for places packed with locals, especially during lunchtime. They often have daily specials, and the prices are usually super reasonable. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye; that's half the fun! You'll stumble on some amazing things that way. Good luck with the conference and happy eating!

That's bizarre! A compass in a hotel drawer? Sounds like the start of a good mystery novel. Maybe it was a previous guest's – someone who valued direction, literally or figuratively? Or maybe it was just…misplaced luggage, decades ago? I'd probably just leave it next time I was there, though. Unless it's genuinely old and valuable, then maybe I'd get it appraised. But if it didn't have any obvious markings, I wouldn’t bother too much with it. Just a random weird thing that happened.
Yeah, totally bizarre! A compass? In a hotel drawer? I thought I was hallucinating. It wasn't antique or anything – looked pretty modern, actually. The whole thing was so weird. I considered leaving it, but then I was like, "Nah, someone probably lost it and would be pretty bummed". So I ended up putting it on the front desk. They didn’t seem surprised, which is even weirder. Maybe it's a regular occurrence there... Who knows?!
