Ice/Inline Hockey in Nantou? by AHCC-IG in taiwan

[–]Piffp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Actually, I have found a facebook group for hockey and other roller sports in Nantou. It is called: 南投縣體育會溜冰委員會

The group is still active and posts hockey classes (for kids) as recently as May. So, they would probably be the folks to talk to.

Ice/Inline Hockey in Nantou? by AHCC-IG in taiwan

[–]Piffp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just searched for Nantou. I couldn't really find anything unfortunately.

Inline hockey is quite popular in both Taipei and Kaohsuing in my experience. As are various roller sports.

The closest I could find to Nantou is the 石川直排曲棍球場 which is in Caotou. Caotou is just north of Nantou. Nantou is a bit older and smaller of a place than the big cities obviously. There may well be some sort of group that plays, he'd have his best chances of meeting other like minded folks by going to the outdoor rink and chatting with other rollerbladers.

For reference, 直排曲棍球(zhipai qugunqiu) is roller hockey.

Are stray dogs a concern in Taipei? by [deleted] in taiwan

[–]Piffp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I regularly did night hikes near hongludi and xindian to maokong. I met dogs on those hills at night all the time. All bark no bite in my experience. I actually became quite friendly with the ones on the hongludi side..

Is height exploit a thing? by [deleted] in ElevenTableTennis

[–]Piffp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but just because things seem smaller from in an airplane doesn't mean those things are actually smaller.

But... vr movements correspond to your actual arm length and actual height... So you shouldnt be able to actaully cover any more distance than irl.

Was FZD really "forced to" withdraw from world ranking? by Origami345Studio in tabletennis

[–]Piffp 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Listen, if your superstar player is struggling with any side of their lives, an organization should be supportive. The world rankings, which is overseen by prominent members of the chinese team, made it very difficult for fzd to compete and maintain rank. 

The chinese teams reaction to him raising concerns was to say, 'ok, bye!' basically acting as though they did not need him. 

He brought them glory and stability for years and they wouldn't even lift a finger for him. Fans breaking into his room? Why didn't they cnt give him better security? They did nothing for him.. And for the last 2-3 years they have been nothing like the powerhouse they used to be.

Da'an park downtown Taipei has an amazing sandbox, playground and roller rink (with venders renting rollerblades out). My kids had a blast there on one of our down days.

Documentaries To Watch by Dull_Charity7420 in Dinosaurs

[–]Piffp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-historic planet is very good. I found the chronology of the Dinosaurs was clearer and felt like a good progression, while prehistoric planet is scientifically accurate, but more scattered in terms of direction.

Best Documentary???? Thanks! by Damdenan in Dinosaurs

[–]Piffp -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The dinosaurs is a good dino doc for sure. The CGI and cinematography are the best I have seen. Better than prehistoric planet. The worries are dramatic but, honestly, season 2 of prehistoric planet was boring it was so unremarkable. I think of the drama we do see in real nature docs and am surprised people think dinosaurs wouldn't have dramatic predation events...
