I thought everybody knew that the big happening spot for gay cruising was the big public park in the center of town. Go to any park in America after dusk and you’ll see lots of men hanging around on park benches waiting. Same in Taiwan. When I was walking in the big Gungyuan park in Tainan after dark, I noticed quite a few older Chinese men giving me the eye, and quite obvious about it…didn’t take much to figure out what they were doing there hanging out all night.
Back in the States it’s a common occurrence to read about undercover police patrolling the public parks and making busts when gay men proposition them. Do they do this in Taiwan as well? I don’t give two hoots about whether it’s het or homo - sex in public is a no-no. Public toilets aren’t your private bedroom.
