Shin_85 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Went last year to taipei around Oct end, never get to join the parade. Going this 21-28 oct, 2nd time alone trip to Tpe:) Quote
Shin_85 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 How the parade actually works? Never join one before. Everyone just gather and walk on the street? Quote
fitboy21 Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Scoot to Taipei is at 225 all in for the pride weekend! Quote
azimuth Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 How the parade actually works? Never join one before. Everyone just gather and walk on the street? Never gone before too but I just they will just walk past you and you can either stay on the spot to take pictures or walk along.Scoot to Taipei is at 225 all in for the pride weekend! It's a good deal. I got mine at SGD264 FlyBag with seat upgrade. :-) Quote
azimuth Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Seems like there are quite a fair bit of people from this forum going. Taipei is going to turn into a mini Singapore during that weekend! Quote
passby Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 It already has plentiful of Singaporeans going there at any one time...Don't you tell me you just reached home ? Quote
Guest Guest Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 Seems like there are quite a fair bit of people from this forum going. Taipei is going to turn into a mini Singapore during that weekend! Yup. The same with the CNY period or just after where there are lots of Singaporeans in Bangkok and 24 Kaikan. I hooked up with this person at 24 Kaikan only to find out (later) that he was Singaporean . Quote

It's off topic, but yes. Took slow Night Rider. Just a thought. Besides attending the parade and clubbing, what are the other fringe activities during Pride weekend? Quote

takeitoff Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Anyone knows if the weather is good in may?It is springtime right? May is super rainy. Not the typhoon kind though. It's technically still spring but I wouldn't consider it to be Quote
Enelym1978 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Scoot to Taipei is at 225 all in for the pride weekend! Ghaaaa I paid $400 with Jetstar.... Scoot still has seats for $200+ return, hate them lol I'll be going to the Parade but I won't go to the big parties... went last year, it's nice but way too expensive for a non circuit party person like me....Never tried Jump. For the younger ones, G-Star can be nice. Edited September 30, 2013 by Enelym1978 Quote

Enelym1978 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) yeah but 80% of the time, it's never a good idea to book last minute Oh well.... So which hotel did you end up booking? Edited September 30, 2013 by Enelym1978 Quote
azimuth Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 yeah but 80% of the time, it's never a good idea to book last minute Oh well.... So which hotel did you end up booking? True enough. Just PMed you on my accommodation during the trip. Quote
Guest Observe Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 True enough.Just PMed you on my accommodation during the trip. Looks likely Enelym and Azimuth will hook up in Taipei. Hooray! Quote
azimuth Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Looks likely Enelym and Azimuth will hook up in Taipei. Hooray! Lol. Enelym is far too popular here for my small hook. I need to buy a stronger rod. :-) Quote
Enelym1978 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Lol. Enelym is far too popular here for my small hook. I need to buy a stronger rod. :-) Errr let's not go there Mr. Azi lol I just checked Scoot again and prices went back up to $350. We should have a BW dinner one evening lol. Taiwanese hot pot Quote

Enelym1978 Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Any recommendations actually for some nice local food joints? Aniki and hot spring are also in the programme? Quote
azimuth Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Haha. Not a foodie but it seems the Din Tai Fung is a must go. Possibly. How many days will you be there? It's a short stay for me and I haven't really map out where I want to go yet. Quote

It's a short stay for me and I haven't really map out where I want to go yet. But.... I tried the Din Tai Fung at the 101 tower and to be honest, it's just the same as in Singapore haha. I remember a few places where they make 小炒 for super cheap but I need to be there to remember where it is.... can't seem to find it on a map lol. I'll be there from 25-28 Quote

For the younger ones, G-Star can be nice. I was contemplating over whether or not to fork out that much for the circuit parties too. Any idea where else would be a good alternative? Perhaps a nice bar which is cozy and relatively less crowded? Quote

Also mind to intro some great backpacking hostel or bnb in Taipei and Tai Chung?Thanks guyshey since its your first time,here is some recommendations for you. Saunas in Taipei u must visit is Aniki. Crowd is similar to the one in Absolute or cruise club but its bigger in scale. U should oso visit onsen hot spring like Chuan Tang or 皇池 in Yangmingshan district. U might be in for a treat for such cruisy hang out places enjoy yr trip! Quote

They do have a few small bars which are more quiet but I'm sure it will be packed that weekend though haha. I can't remember the names but I know La Bocca closed and reopened under another name, there are others of course but I was following my friends and to be honest, I didn't catch all the names Quote
azimuth Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah the parties are expensive. I heard it's like close to SGD50. Quote

Maybe I will check out what's around XMD area (first time to TW during Pride, not sure what to expect). Thanks! And btw welcome back from your long vacation Quote
torque Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah the parties are expensive. I heard it's like close to SGD50.It's close to S$160 for advance sales I think (cos have to buy minimum of 2 parties). That's almost half the price of the air ticket to TPE for some already. Quote

And btw welcome back from your long vacation Actually I don't find the bars in XMD very nice and interesting... those scattered around towns are much nicer and more personal and interesting. Merci merci It was good to be cut off from work and stop traveling for errrrr almost 3 weeks? haha Can't wait for Taipei though, it's been too long! Quote

Hmm ok, I will post here if I come across any nice and interesting ones outside XMD Quote
torque Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Haha. That's a lot to pay if you are not a hardcore clubber. HehExactly. But I guess it would be an eye (candies) opener for those new to circuit parties lol Quote
Enelym1978 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Exactly. But I guess it would be an eye (candies) opener for those new to circuit parties lol it was an eye opener to me last year but it's not worth the money spent lol.Seeing all these people high on pills... not fun when you're clean Or for the eye candy maybe... but yeah... once was enough for me haha Quote
azimuth Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Exactly. But I guess it would be an eye (candies) opener for those new to circuit parties lol Haha. You can try Aniki for the eye candies who are sober and not high on pills. Lol. Quote
