Private group
Is that the 7 on the corner of Heping and Jinshan?
We need evidence of the urination to believe it.
Is this group the latest iteration of āforeign criminals in Taiwanā , Strange strange peopleā¦
So? Thereās nothing illegal about smoking or drinking outside, and urinating in the alleys is common in Taiwan. Unlike the United States where any of the above can land you overnight in jail. One of the attractions of Taiwan is that itās one of the last places where you can live free without looking over your shoulder at all the picayune regulations we have to deal with in the West. Should I put that in the past tense now? Make Taiwan Great Again!
But why would somebody urinate outside if thereās a toilet inside anyway.
I shall join the group to conduct research. Also one of the admins is a friend of mine.
Looks all innocent to me, reminds me of 10+ years ago when I used to play football in an ex-pat group and then the after-match debrief was outside a 7-11 sitting on crates drinking beer.
Good times.
Sitting outside the local family mart with the old gang, drinking beer and smoking are part of Taiwan culture. Some people brings their Chinese chess, other brings playing cards. I donāt see the harm in this as long as it is not way too loudly late in the night.
Stop the urinating though, as on hot days it smells terrible, so do as the locals and use the toilet in the convenient store
Itās probably not really anyway , itās just somebody posting something anonymously on the internet about some unknown people at an unknown place and time.
And why the crates, itās a pity fewer and fewer places have tables and chairs outside now, mostly due to smokers abusing it. At least outside Taipei thereās still some places.
The convenience stores near me removed the outside tables due to noise complaints. The cops were called too regularly.
The outdoors urination in this story marks it down as nonsense.
The picture is a copy paste from a local residents group complaining about the āforeignersā, complaints do look legit though.
Itās illegal to smoke in the covered arcade area.
There might not be a toilet inside, might be in use might be a number of things but the residents post claimed they were sometimes urinating in the bushes across the alleyway.
Does indeed however apparently it goes on into the early hours, or very early hours on occasion and naturally enough gets noisier as the alcohol comsumption increasesā¦according to the local residents anyway. I noticed that locals pay little or no attention to loud conversations going on in Mandarin or Taiwanese but if itās in English!? How rude!
Iāve come across a disproportionate number of insanely loud foreigners. Literally shouting at each other, usually about politics. Thereās definitely a type of guy who thinks being loudest makes him alpha.
I never even come across foreigners so thereās thatā¦
Seems like that photo was in the daytime though.
SMOKING.
FāIN SMOKING IS ILLEGAL NOW FORIEGNERS ARE DOING IT?
Honestly the rest of the story i dont care about but a Taiwanese complaining about a forigner smoking in public is just insane.
Thai worker arrested after hot dog heist, knife rampage injures 7
A Thai migrant worker was arrested early Sunday in eastern Taiwan after stealing hot dogs from a convenience store and carrying out a series of knife attacks while fleeing police, leaving three civilians and four officers injured.
Also could be in the āwack thingsā category. 
During his escape, the man allegedly attempted to attack a passerby and fled about 2.7 kilometers as more than 10 officers were deployed to intercept him.
At one point, he climbed onto a truck from where he brandished a knife and a stick as police threw traffic cones at him, before fleeing the scene on foot, pantless and with police officers in pursuit, video footage of the incident showed.
