Hi Guys! I will be starting to teach in Taiwan this summer and I have recruited a few students that are willing to meet me near the MRT station. I was wondering if you guys could offer me some advices on where to meet?
Coffee House - This is a good idea, but is it going to be too loud to do lessons?
Near Xi Men MRT there is an immense pedestrian shopping district. It’s not particularly quiet anywhere around there on weekends or after school lets out except for a few coffee/tea shops located on the back streets. Maybe your students can give you some suggestions, or just walk around together. I’m sure you could find something.
There is a perfect place. Its called Fortress Cafe and its located in Zhongshan Hall in the square where everybody goes skateboarding.
Not sure what the address is, maybe someone can help. In fact, I must get back there myself. It has a balcony overlooking a quiet square and is an amazingly peaceful oasis in Taipei.
Oh, and the coffe is some of the best I’ve ever had.
