I went once for a job interview. As soon as I got off the bus, I knew I would be “going through the motions”.
As if Keelung weren’t bad enough, the place was a pedophile’s playground (read: “catholic school” :ohreally:) and they were expecting me to work six days per week (like the buybull, I guess) for about NT$50000. Less pay with more work plus mandatory religious participation? Forget that nonsense. :loco: :saywhat: :bs: :tic: 
Even if I were a catholic and not an atheist, I would have told them to take a hike.
My first thought when I got to Keelung was HP Lovecraft’s “C’thulhu” story, “The Shadow Over Innsmouth.”

I was expecting to see people with fish scales on their faces and crab claws for hands. 
:grrr:
Ia! Ia! C’thulhu F’tagn! flop flop flop… C’thulhu K’eelung!
At least weekends in Taipei are possible for any poor slob stuck Keelung. Head in on Saturday morning (or Friday night) and stay at one of the youth hostels for about NT$600 per night. Just how much is your sanity worth to you?
