[quote]What do You think About the Quality of Foreigners in Taiwan?
Postby jamezku » Fri Oct 02, 2015 1:16 pm

I’ve been having some fun on this forum, but I’d like to ask my ladies, what they think about foreigners sticking their hands and their judgement on the local political events.

What about their macking and dating skills? Are they cheap? What guys do you like the most? I am writing an article in a magazine, so please be specific.

There is a saying: when in Rome, do what Romans do.

When in Taiwan, you gotta learn Taiwanese then right?

[quote=“BlownWideOpen”]Opportunity for very experienced luxury car test driver to open school to help owners handle these cars. Italian or some such nationality would work, something that plays into their silly Cliches about sports cars and foreigners

Charge tens of thousands of NT per hour

It costs hundreds of thousands of NT just for first 1k maintenance![/quote]

Already exists at the dealerships. A friend of mine is in the process of purchasing an Aventador and the dealership has spent about 15 hours already teaching him how to drive it, for free. Well, not free because I’m sure it’s worked into the sticker price but it’s not like you could reduce the price anyway even if you told them you don’t need the training.

Finally someone with real experience, thank you Brent my brother.

How is Vanessa?

Busy as usual :laughing:

Rocket suggested hot dogs. That’s not gonna work in Taiwan because they’ve got cheap ones in every convenience store. Still, if you get the right dog and the right angle, you can attract a crowd and sell volume.

Have any of you seen Turkish ice cream? It’s really thick and sticky, and the sellers use funny tricks (like pretending to give it to you and turning it upside down :roflmao:); this entertains and attracts a crowd. Do you see where I’m going with this?

Sticky Turkish Hot Dogs! - (Preferably sold by a Quality Foreign Man)

Bigger hot dogs will attract more customers.

I have always suspected that the ones that you see exploding on the roads every weekend are actually Chinese fakes… or that is not the owner. A few months ago, someone crashed a Lamborghini I think down a bridge in Sanchong. The guy was not the owner of the vehicle, the registered owner was a popular Taiwanese actor, who had lent the fancy vehicle to his friend.

Anyways, with such a precious thing, maintenance should be a second nature, especially under the stress driving conditions it undergoes here. Surely the manual would be their Bible, and training in driving skills adapted to Taiwan a cherry on top.

Maybe a loan service of such luxury cars? … after a training course, of course.

There is already a service where the Alfa and Lambos escort you for wedding parades or lent for wedding pictures. Another one is a line of assorted luxury cars, from the Hummer to exotics, decorated for the wedding procession.

I had already proposed the hot dog thinghie many years ago. Sold by shirtless atogas a la Hooters. Will withhold the name for the sake of PG-13.

There is a guy in Tamshui who does the ice cream thing, I thought. He even is in the commercials on tv I believe. Sure it is a biznes, just not the kind that will make you billions. Who cares about that kind of small stuff? Sell a hotdog or ice cream you can make few thousands NTD. Nobody really cares right?

Did they also tell him Taiwan has traffic laws? Bumpy roads? Crazy drivers that will crash into his new expensive car? Insurance policy is the same price as the car?

Would it be possible to have a age-vetified, membership-based, alcohol delivery service? There had to be a loophole to the underage issue. But maybe locals don’t drink as much as I do.
:doh:

72

They do but you won’t see them drinking. And there is always a bunch of them dining and drinking. They don’t do it at home.

73

Hmmmm. Maybe some local bar owners that I know would be kind enough to slip some good beer in with my uber eats order.

If Lalamove is a private person2person courier service, then doing that wouldn’t be illegal, right? Does anyone know?

74

Almost every beer importer ships with local delivery companies.

Seems everyone here who starts a business is dealing with food, and too many Taiwanese whose dream is to start a food business. What gives? Food business has to be the riskiest business out there with the highest chance of failure and it’s extremely competitive.

Lots of Taiwanese who has a business doing something else (like manufacturing) has a dream of starting a food business as well.

76

Many liquor stores and some websites already deliver, especially if you order a few cases.

My new business idea involves making cheap videos that can pass as professional. With phones having amazing cameras now it shouldn’t be too hard. The main cost sink would be for the mic.

I have a little experience with video editing but I’m not an expert. If anyone is an expert in video creation and editing HMU.

So you want to be a youtuber?

What will the video be about? Will it be movies or something?

There was a beer company run by some Brits a few years ago selling and delivering beer from their home country. Maybe they’re still around even.

I want to do some targeted ads for facebook. I imagine I could charge $10,000 for each advert I create.
