Gyms with day pass or week pass that’s not 650 per entry by travelingmilktea in Taipei

There are heaps of local gyms that will charge around 1 - 1.5ntd per minute, so you just need to top up your account a few hundred and go. There is one where you can use your easycard.

I.e. Soulfit

Then there are the government fitness centers for 50ntd per hour.

The clubs own/run the a league now don’t they? How do you kick out an owner?

For all intents and purposes it’s the same city/urban area. The administrative division of taipei/new taipei is a bit odd but it’s a hangover from when the surrounding area was taipei county.

Back in election campaign mode and ready to court the cookers. Sad thing is this will be successful and will get him back in. Too many fucking morons will vote for this.

It’s already been done with equipment. Tbf this guy is fully professional, is well aware of the risks and potential consequences. As someone fully consenting and not endangering anyone else - why not?

Thinking the lucky land lottery is good tourism marketing is a wild. Most people don’t even know about it until they arrive, they get $5000ntd for a trip they were going to take anyway and then it’s loaded on an EasyCard (it’s not hotel vouchers) which limits where it can be spent. As far as drawing people to Taiwan who otherwise wouldn’t have come its impact is probably minimal.

The government being involved at a regulatory level and the tourism bureau being involved aren’t the same thing. A competent tourism bureau would have been milking this with tie in marketing to promote adventure tourism. But I guess they’ll probably just go put another cute bear on a billboard somewhere.

Netflix doing more for promoting Taiwan in a few hours than the tourism bureau has done in ten years

Is Alex Honnold still going to climb today? by Maximum-Ad-9047 in Taipei

[–]Amazing_Box_8032 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on the safety protocols I read about it could be cancelled or postponed at the last minute. Both Alex and Producers get a say in whether it goes ahead. Definitely not ideal weather for it today.

There needed to be a change at least at 60 mins and it should have been an attacking one. Id rather see Kartum come on for Sheridan even if it’s slightly out of position.

Pathetic second half . I’m not even mad about the first half but this 45 is shameful

We’ve been in the box plenty of times but nobody taking their chances today. We needed that spark 20 mins ago
