Looking for SDTs in Taipei City.
I’m not sure if there are any left. I think all the ones that opened up over the years eventually close.
Doesn’t seem like something the locals would enjoy. People go camping and set up flood lights while shouting at each other. Quiet and darkness seem to make them uncomfortable.
Last time was funny. One person brought out the saxophone with backup track, and needed the practice. Another person in the same group was playing scales on a different instrument, about 20 feet away. A third person turned on the news on their digital projector with speakers (nice screen, though).
This was simultaneously coming from the same group of people, who had to yell at each other to be heard over the din.
No flood lights, though

I could use some sensory deprivation in Taiwan too… I’m getting sensory overloaded in Taipei 24/7 with noise just going on everywhere. But I’m the minority here…

Previous thread, possibly worth merging:
You have to be very careful with that abbreviation.

Indeed. It was a bit of a shock for me to see someone look for STDs

If I remember correctly one of the issues with the business previously promoted on here was how often they did, or as it turned out didn’t, change out the water in the tanks. Paying to lie in someone elses salty water is presumably a fairly niche market…

I’m sorry but I read it as this at first… 
I think that would be pretty useless for me as i have some mild tinnitus… probably caused from living here. So all i would be able to hear is ringing.
Anyway meditation does it for me.

Great find! Just check how they clean the water.
According to Google, these tanks only need the water changed after 1000 uses - but the water does need to be sanitized and filtered after every use.
