Wufenpu Wonders?
So I finally hit up Wufenpu Clothing Street in Taipei, right? The sheer volume of clothes... it was overwhelming! Seriously, I spent hours getting lost in the maze of stalls. I scored some killer de… more
Go early, like really early. Before the tour buses arrive. The crowds are exponentially worse later in the day. Also, wear comfortable shoes – you'll be doing a LOT of walking. And don't be afraid to haggle! It's expected. Start with about half the asking price; you'll probably settle somewhere in the middle. Finally, have a general idea of what you're looking for before you go. Otherwise, it's sensory overload central. You'll be way more efficient if you don't just wander aimlessly. Think of it as a treasure hunt, not a stroll.

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?!
