What’s one business that you feel is missing from Taipei?

Could be anything.

We need a Korean spa, a good Cajun restaurant, etc.

There’s a shawarma place across from 小巨蛋 that uses what looks something like banhmi rolls. :-1:

It’s shite. Concrete surface so the balls bounce out all the time.

A decent bowling alley in a central location?

I remember taking some visitors to that bowling alley near Jiantan MRT. Calling it run down at that time would be polite. No idea what it looks like now.

That bowling alley is still decrepit, at least they serve big bottles of beer.

Good second hand clothing stores, bodegas with cats, Taco Bell, cannabis dispensaries. :v:

Yea… wrong culture. Perhaps if we get a huge number of American immigrants who actually STAYS rather than go back in 2 years, we’ll see more of these type of restaurants. Otherwise, Taiwanese prefers yaniku style grilling which is more Japanese… When in Rome…

It’s still run down. I mean after all bowling is basically a niche sport in Taiwan, in a country where few do sports.

Haven’t had the runs in Taiwan for a long time, Taco Bell would definitely fix this.

Sometimes the decrepit places have charm. Especially if they’re still selling big bottles of beer as @Cmkzmb mentioned.

Every basketball court I pass by is full of people. Every riverside path is full of people biking and jogging. Every baseball field has teams in it. What are you talking about?

There’s definitely an upward trend too. I’m seeing more and more people jogging. Not just weird strained looking fast-walking too, actual jogging.
