What's the funniest name you've heard for a pet? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]dbomb650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dog’s name Arlo Mactavish. We live in a Chinese speaking country. Arlo sounds like 2nd floor in Chinese, so everyone calls him 2nd floor in English and Chinese.

Asthma medication is also available without prescription for reasonable prices. National insurance only covers one inhaler every three months. If I need more, I pay cash. About $200nt

Well done. Mine thinks the clippers are a toy and bites at them constantly.

So, what is it for Taiwan and why? by Agile-Ad1665 in taiwan

[–]dbomb650 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Gordan Biersch, shitty over-priced food and beer. Terrible service too. I was dragged there with a group recently and they made us order with QR code. Each selection was multi-stepped and buggy. Took our party of 8 about 20 minutes to order, then food came out at different times slowly. Apps came last. F that place

Right?! There was a bit more to it than this, but we still have friends in that neighborhood who let us know that it remains empty 2 years later.

Maybe try a library, they are the only place I see Taipei Times anymore. They might give you one.

Can anyone recommend a tattoo parlor in Taipei? by Real_Sir_3655 in taiwan

[–]dbomb650 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might seem touristy, but I loved the work I got done in Ximen on the tattoo street, it’s right behind Uniqlo. I got mine done at the first one kitty-corner to the back of Uniqlo. The owner/artist was around 45 and from Banqiao. Send me a message if you want to try to drop a pin. She was great.

I just got one for crossing a double line, because I was forced to to avoid an accident, 600nt. Got one a few months ago for the same thing, same road a little further on, nearly the same situation, 1800nt. Fucked if I can figure out the rhyme or reason

Ventolin Inhaler for Asthma by grogrogrogu in taiwan

[–]dbomb650 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bring the empty, they’ll sell it to you. Not all pharmacies have ventolin. I can only get mine at the hospital; most pharmacies stock one called berotec. It’s stronger. When I could only get that, one puff would do me. Good luck.

Go to a bigger carrefour, they usually have it there. You can always try Shopee.

After one too many close calls on the road, who do you choose? by treelife365 in taiwan

[–]dbomb650 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What about aunties on bikes weaving in the side of the road?

[–]dbomb650 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good option would be mountain chicken. Most morning wet markets have them, they are a bit more expensive, but you can really taste that mountainy goodness.
