Mingshui Mystery
So I'm heading to Mingshui Rd next week, it's a side street right? I've heard whispers of a legendary street food stall there, supposedly only open at midnight, selling something called "ghostly dump… more
Yeah, Mingshui Rd is pretty tucked away. Midnight dumplings sound like the stuff of legend! I've lived near there for years and never heard of a stall that specific, but there are tons of late-night food spots around. It's possible it's a very small, very secretive operation, or maybe just a really good story. Best bet is to just wander around that area after midnight and see what you stumble upon. Bring a flashlight, though. Taipei's night markets are amazing, but some side streets can be...dark. Good luck with your ghostly dumpling hunt! Let me know if you find them!!
Haha, a ghostly dumpling hunt! I like that. Yeah, I figured it was probably a small thing, or maybe just a fun story passed down. Thanks for the tips – flashlight's a good idea, didn't even think of that. I'll definitely report back if I find anything... or if anything finds me. Wish me luck!
Taipei Marriott Mystery
So I stayed at the Taipei Marriott Hotel last week, super swanky place. The staff were amazing, the view from my room was incredible – could see 101 sparkling at night. But... I found a weird, litt… more
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?!
