# I know
There are some great little places. I'm just pissed off at the moment due to a nasty work situation (doing the old bushiban thing). You Taiwanese or visiting?

# Ah, fair enough then.
And given the options, I'd say visiting. Been here a bit over a year now, but managed to avoid the English teaching thing successfully the whole time.

# A wise choice
Although it's pot luck. Some great schools, some that are reminiscent of the gulag archipelago. Went to My Place last night. Had a great evening. Where do you usually chill?

I do work for one buxiban, Howard (on Nanyang St., near Taipei Main Station), but not as a teacher.

And I haven't been up the Combat Zone yet, too far for my liking. Usually I head to Riverside, Blue Note, or a friend's bar, Laku Laku.

# My first time in the Zone
It's well worth a trip. I usually go to Bistro in Shida, or 45 if I can't be arsed. Where's Laku Laku?

# Might have to head up that way then.
45, which one is that? The one down by Guting MRT?

Laku Laku's down by Sun Yat-sen MRT - out the northwestern-most exit, down the lane to the left, about the third alley on the right. I think. Something like that. Alley 7 on that lane. I've got a friend who plays guitar and sings there every Thursday night, so I head there every week for that. It's pretty quiet, and definitely more a bar than a dance place. Definitely.

Yes it is! My girlfriend's from Huddersfield; everyone there looks down on Barnsley. They reckon you're all slow or summat...
