Return of ChewDawg

Yes, you read that right. For the first time in 17 years, I will be returning to Taiwan for 10 days in late January 2025. Daughter’s Taiwan wedding (the Canuckistan one is this year).

To old and new drinking comrades. PM me if you’d like to have a coffee/meal/booze.

I have returned, bitches!

Where in Taiwan will you be?

Taipei/Taoyuan.

Just to refresh this puppy. I’ll be attending a family wedding at the Taoyuan Monarch Plaza Hotel in late January and will be in Taiwan for 10 days, but would be happy to hold court at a pub if anyone wants to catch a brew or five. Not staying at the TMPH but in a nearby rented apartment.

I will be in NY; enjoy your stay. In Taoyuan, check out the Hop Inn. Cozy place, great choice of IPAs and sake.

Just realized we won’t be staying in Taoyuan but near Taipei Main Station in a serviced apartment.

Well, then Vinyl Decision is a great place to hang out. They do tend to spin loud noise at times though when the boss isn’t there.

When the time comes, I’d be super curious to read your musings about being back after so long. I look forward to a very interesting read! :grin:

We used to live in a very nice high rise in Mucha, which I regret we sold…would be at least 2m USD now! If it is like my return visits to Canada, I’ll likely be bitching about food prices. Back in the day, I remember eating this amazing rice soup for 40NT, eating at my favorite Yunnan place by NCCU for under 300NT, etc.
