International Forumosa meet ups

In the last 8 days I have had the pleasure of lunching with Mr He in Clapham, and Alleycat in Hampton Hill. It was absolutely fantastic to see them both. I also regularly meet up with EdgarAllen (he doesn’t post here now).

It got me wondering… Have you ever met another Forumosan outside of Taiwan? Who, where, when?

I had an entire holiday at Casa jdsmith. Fell in love with Albany.

And my neighbors loved the nearly naked man sunning himself in the side yard.

I found out a couple people I know in Taitung were regulars here years ago, but no, never outside of Taiwan.

I was hoping to meet up with a couple regulars while visiting NYC over the summer but we couldn’t make our schedules work or Covid got in the way. Will try harder next time

You can take the man out of Hounslow…

Sunbathing in Albany is a great memory. Pirandello, on a deck chair, with factor 50 sunscreen. That’s cluedo!

I can only speak about inside of Taiwan.

Seems like every Forumosa’ian I meet talks in code.

We discover and then know we’re both on Forumosa but we don’t acknowledge the fact.

Where are the International Forumosa meetups like Bali or Ibiza or in an inconspicuous corner of a dark library in a dull rainy country?

I’d be up for meeting up with Forumosans in London.

Direct roundtrip TPE to Boracay for NT$2,000? There should be a Forumosa meet up there!
