its not bad, its more like a smaller taipei but without all the huge buildings and nightlife (although there is some, but mostly just bars/drinking). I know a bunch of people who went to high school there (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...al_High_School) so youll definitely see a lot of younger ABCs in the area. Also its pretty close to taipei so you can easily take a bus there for a weekend.

Ok,
What are my odds of meeting some girls with solid or decent english if i live in Hsinchu? Are the people there generally more conservative than i Taipei, or is it pretty much the same?

pretty high chance youll meet girls who can speak english (even college girls who grew up in taiwan have *decent* english). that said, girls in taiwan are in general more conservative than the US and perhaps other asian countries, which shouldnt be a suprise. like i said if you are looking to party, you should just bus to taipei for the weekend as there isnt as much to do in terms of night life in hsinchu (mostly just hotel bars, etc).

dknight u live in Taiwan?

no, parents are from taiwan, and i go to taiwan probably once a year for about 2-3 weeks. i also have a bunch of friends who grew up in taiwan or went to american schools (for ABCs) in taiwan.

woop, nice thread.

After law school I plan on doing like a 3 year world tour learning languages. I had wanted to recconect with my native tongue but didn't want to live in China for many reasons. Now it sounds like Taipei is clearly the best place for me to live and learn. I just hope the sexual revolution is still going strong once I get there!

Honestly if you're Asian-American it doens't affect you.

Can't tell if this is a or a

Given how Asian guys run in the world of women I'm leaning towards the latter...

Well if you like getting laid easy its a .

If you don't it's a definite

Just got back from 30 days of vacation and being out of Taiwan made me realize it seriously blows here. The food and culture are bland as ****. Nobody knows if they want to be western or if they want to be Chinese, so they stay in the middle without having much substance. They work like 60 hours a week and don't really know why. Taipei is expensive, in respect to its location and average salary.

The girls are hot, dress decent and will **** you ezgame at most clubs. The weather is ait and there are some good surf beaches nearby. But that's pretty much it. And as far as girls screwing you at clubs .... again, doesn't apply to ABCs unless you're mad ballin and look nice ... but then u're getting laid anywayz =]

Don't come to Taipei.

Im here this week and have to agree with the above poster. Taipei is kind of like Hong Kong minus the fun parts. I wish Cebu flew directly to Clark from here cause I feel like hitting up Angeles City...

Hmmm this sure is a different tone than the one you took at the beginning of the thread.

Well I wouldn't say Im a MASSIVE whoremonger but I'm getting pretty good at Connect 4. I've never been to Angeles (or anywhere in PI for that matter) and wouldn't mind checking it out. I'm over the clubbing scene, I don't enjoy being cramped and would rather drink a quiet beer and pick up a girl on my way home.

Thailand and apparently Angeles are just right for that sort of thing.

Im in Taipei staying with my ex-girlfriend so no nightclubs for me this time anyway. How do the foreigner-hunting girls here compare to the ones in Japan?

i personally don't think its so easy to get girls in japan,
like if you dont have any standards then ya of course its much easier than other countries I guess, but It really comes down to what you are looking for.

Thing about japan I guess that would be the best in this case is that 4's can turn into 7's purely through make up and when you drink u might not care so much.

They really don't speak english here though lol so I hope u have good body langauge

The biggest problem I found in Japan was that the girls were literally so easy that if you didn't get to the bar straight after dinner most of them had already gone home with someone already.

A lot of the bars in roppongi especially were massive sausage fests by midnight. Everyone knows about Japan now and there are foreigners EVERYWHERE.

my cousin always had been saying that girls there love abc's. maybe we are conditioned from living in the states to having no game?

me and some friends were thinking of going a while back, so i emailed her, asking about nightlife, etc. didn't end up going, but still would like to in the near future.

Luxy is the most balling, upscale club in the city. Very nice and I also strongly recommend it. 2 rooms - House and Hip hop. Lots of gays frequent the house room, and lots of slutty girls frequent the hip hop room. Drink run like 150 - 200 NT, and I think entry is 500 NT but our MMA school is on the VIP so not sure.

The other club I've had the most luck at is Wax. This attracts the poorer girls -- the ones who aren't wearing namebrands and will fk you ezmode. If you take the MRT (runs until Midnight) get off at Guting Station Exit 2 and it's right in front of you ... I suggest getting there at like 11:30. You only pay entry, and it's open till 5 -- all you can drink of course. Cost 600 NT (18$). Decent drink list.

Basically, the all you can drink bars attract the decent girls who will more easily sleep with you. Sometimes a few 8s or 9s will show up, but rarely. The up-scale clubs like your friend suggested have hotter, chin-up girls who are harder to bag, but still never difficult -- I mean, it's ****ing Asia and YOO AWE AMEWICAN!

what % would u estimate ppl in taipei to speak taiwanese, mainly the younger crowd?

1% of college students, 15% of middle aged, 40% of seniors. Everybody just speaks Mandarin
