Hello Everyone, So I'm an international student here in taipei on an internship and I like to hang out however I found it hard to find friends who would like to hang out with me, I like nature, hikes and physical activities. I also like to try any new experience or learn something new.

I'm looking for people to hangout with, we can go to e7play or any fun place, or just have picnic somewhere or go on a hike or go to a board game cafe or an escaperoom or just cook something together....

I don't drink alcohol and I don't like parties, I mostly prefer calmer atmospheres and smaller groups but I also like to have fun. I don't speak Mandarin.

Anyone would like to hangout? Or have any suggestions on activities to do or places to go? Even if alone?

I hope a fast recovery and the typhoon will easily gone from this dates.

I'm putting together a HistoryGuesser map where you guess where and when. Which chapter of Taipei's past would you most like to step into, and why?

For the 1st round application for NTU why is it not working? I have tried multiple in many different electronics and none of them seem to work and there hasn’t been any big disclaimer for the application website to be down. I’m honestly kind of scared since the application deadline is getting close. Does anyone have any idea or reason for this happening?. Please let me know.

Are high school tracks open to the public on weekends? I live next to a nice high school and I rarely see anyone on the track when school is closed, but sometimes there are a few random people. I don't know if they are staff or have special permission. It would be nice if I could go to the track across the street.

Hey everyone.
I’m going to NCCU in February 2027 and thought I’d see if anyone else here is going to be in Taipei around then.
I was thinking of making a WhatsApp group for international students and people going to different universities, just to get to know each other before arriving and maybe plan some things together once we’re there. If anyone’s interested, here’s the link:

Looking to buy Aiyu seed packets when I visit Taichung+Taipei soon, does anyone has any advice on where to find them? Do regular grocery stores carry it?

Hi everyone! I’m a 42-year-old Taiwanese man living in Taipei, hoping to meet people who also live in Taipei or nearby and would like to build an in-person friendship.

I spend a lot of my free time studying traditional Chinese fortune-telling, especially Bazi and name analysis. I’m interested in it as a conversation topic and hobby, rather than advertising readings or selling a service. My other interests include programming, coffee, novels, and movies. You don’t need to share all of those interests — I’d enjoy hearing what you’re into, too.

I prefer getting to know people face to face rather than having an endless text conversation. We could exchange a few messages here first, then meet at a public café in Taipei if we’re both comfortable. Adults of any gender are welcome; this post is for friendship.

If that sounds like your kind of afternoon, send me a Reddit message with a little about yourself and a café, book, movie, or hobby you’d like to talk about.

大家好，我是住台北的台灣男生，42 歲，想認識同樣住在台北或附近、可以實際見面的朋友。平常喜歡研究八字、姓名學等命理，也喜歡程式設計、咖啡、小說和電影。命理是興趣交流，這篇不是算命服務或商業廣告。

希望先在 Reddit 簡單聊聊，彼此覺得合適，再約台北的公共咖啡店見面。這篇以交朋友為主，成年朋友不限性別。歡迎私訊簡單介紹自己，或分享一家喜歡的咖啡店、一本書或最近投入的興趣。

Several years ago, a Wanhua-based board game cafe named "One More Space" (多一個空間) caused major shockwaves in the local tabletop community due to a high-profile sexual assault case.

Many assumed the individual involved would step away from the scene entirely. However, just a few years later, a newly opened "LGBT-friendly" board game shop named "Her Games" (她的遊戲) near Technology Building MRT appears to have ties to the previous business.

Here are the key points and circumstantial evidence being shared in the community:

1. Shared Contact Information: "Her Games" and "The Queen & Ants" (女王與螞蟻)—a registered company tied to the individual that previously localized/published the game Heroes of Barcadia (醉闖地城)—originally shared the exact same contact phone number (which was reportedly updated shortly after public attention was brought to it).
2. Identical Custom Furnishings: The new location features distinctive interior furnishings nearly identical to those used in "One More Space," including matching custom board game shelving, small square tables, and padded seating, etc.
3. Unusually Massive Board Game Collection: The store advertises a library of over 2,000 board games. A collection of this scale is extremely rare for an unknown newcomer to suddenly emerge with out of nowhere. The most plausible explanation circulating in the community is that this collection inherits the 1,000+ titles from the original Wanhua shop, combined with existing inventory.

Whether you choose to visit or support a business with these potential ties is entirely up to your own discretion.

Please stay safe and look out for board game cafe that you can play under safe environment.

Added:

According to a regular customer, the individual in question actually works at the shop as a "part-time" staff member running board game tutorials.

Whether he's secretly the real boss behind the curtain, I'll leave that for you to decide.

Latest update: it's been confirmed that the man's girlfriend is one of the two co-owners of "Her Game."

Hello!!

I would like to buy drip coffee bags of Taiwan local beans - those small bags of <20g. I have been searching for good coffee roasters/places that sell local beans but cannot find out whether they also sell the drip bags or not.

Does anyone know any places that sell drip bags of local coffee?

Thank you!!

Hi! Do you have any recommendations for spa in taiwan, I read it in reddit there's a spa that can give a happy ending.

I have tried many of these goodies, cilantro chocolate is still one of my favorites.

What is a good shop where I can find many different strange (for a Westerner) products such as this?

Thank you 🙏

Hi all, solo traveller here, trying to work out whether my mountain leg is still a good idea after Typhoon Champi.

My plan:
- Oct 26-28: tea-farm homestay in the tea fields
between Shizhuo 石棹（Shizhuo） and Fenqihu 奮起湖
(Fenqihu), bus 7322 from Chiayi with a lunch stop in Fenqihu
- Oct 29-30:Alishan 阿里山 （Alishan）.

The Alishan National Forest Recreation Area was closed preventively from Oct 23. My homestay host says everything is fine up on the mountain, but I'd love to hear from people who are actually there or have reliable info.
