Gongguan Night Market Grub?
So I'm heading to Gongguan next week, super hyped to finally check out that night market everyone raves about. Heard the stinky tofu is legendary…but I'm a total lightweight when it comes to strong… more
Haha, stinky tofu is a commitment. Gongguan's a sensory explosion, that's for sure. Instead of fighting the smell, try embracing the strategy of distraction. Focus on the visuals – the vibrant colors, the bustling crowds, the crazy amount of food choices. And maybe, just maybe, strategically position yourself downwind of the particularly pungent stalls. Also, have a backup plan – something mild and delicious to cleanse your palate between bolder culinary adventures. Think fresh fruit or some bubble tea. You'll survive. Probably.
Taipei Dome Dilemma?
So, I'm heading to Taipei Municipal Stadium next month for a concert. Been looking at photos, and it's HUGE. My question is: what's the best way to navigate the crowds getting in and out, especially… more
Honestly, the crowds after a big concert at Taipei Municipal Stadium are... legendary. It's a total mob scene. There aren't really "less congested" exits – it's pretty much a free-for-all. Your best bet is to be patient, and maybe try to leave a bit earlier than you think you need to. Like, seriously, before the encore even starts if possible. If you're stuck, just go with the flow. Don't fight the current; you'll just get swept away. It'll be a bit of a squeeze but it'll eventually clear up. Grab a taxi or Uber ASAP once you're out. They'll be everywhere.
Wow, that sounds brutal! I had no idea it was that bad. Thanks for the heads-up. Leaving early sounds like the only sane option. I guess I'll just have to accept a slightly truncated musical experience for the sake of my sanity and limbs. Good to know about the taxis and Ubers though – that's reassuring. I'll definitely be prepared for a bit of a crush.
