The ridiculous crowds at the cringe af Christmasland in Banqiao makes me want to punch people.
I hate everything to do with Xmas in Taiwan. They won’t give us the day off but it’s non-stop Xmas carols wherever you go.
Happy Christmas!

Yup. Christ did the same thing during Hanukkah
Is there anything worth going there for this year? I went a couple of years ago expecting to be able to pick up a bratwurst and some Glühwein, but just ended up with a shitty Taiwanese sausage, a 7-11 beer, and a sense of disappointment.

How many punches did you land?
You know the party that took away Christmas as a national holiday? It was green.
I figured you were a fan of Christmas punches…

Where can you get moonshine in Taiwan? I bet you could spike stuff with it
Mmm, wassail.

I make my own. Proper moonshine is hard to come by, but you can use the cheapest vodkas or kaoliangs for the same purpose.

I have kids and it’s still proven to be a disappointment most times we went.
My Desktop Xmas Tree is more fun than that.

No there isn’t. Yet the crowd is reaching NYE level. It’s repugnant.

The ex’s uncle used to make pineapple moonshine. It was good stuff. However this was quite a while ago, and it seems you do need to know someone who actually makes it. It’s not like you can go to the night market and pick up a bottle.
