Back from Taiwan. Spent 6 days, here's the breakdown:

Accommodation: Airbnb near the action. $23/night.

Scene: Better than expected.

Prices: Slightly higher than expected.

Highlights: Found a hidden gem bar away from tourists.

Overall: 9/10 — would highly recommend.

Ask me anything.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $130/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.

The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.
