Nightlife

Taiwan has many foreigner owned and operated pubs, bars and restaurants, especially in the major cities. There is a wide selection and style including western sports theme, Turkish cuisines, East Indian to the British pub themes. The larger discos and clubs are generally Taiwanese owned and operated. There are many corner style neighborhood Taiwanese style bars and pubs in every city.

Bars, discos, clubs, pubs and talking pubs are quite abundant Throughout Taiwan but most Taiwanese are work addicts and very family oriented, so needless to say, they generally don't frequent bars regularly. I have known and met women in their early thirties that have never yet step foot inside a bar. However, the younger Taiwanese generation and college kids are breaking the pub scene more and more every year. The trend making an abundance of bars opening up every day like wild fire. Even though it may not seem like there is a lack of foreigners in Taiwan when visiting clubs and clubs, overall, the ratio of foreigners to Chinese is very small and you will find that many of the most popular clubs don’t ask cover charges for foreigners on the weekends, special foreigner nights. It’s becoming more popular to pay a standard entrance fee from $300 to $500 NTD and all your drinks are include for the entire night.

There can be good and bad in any bar scene, so be aware. Although the "Bamboo" and 'Triads' or Chinese Mafia don't frequent the foreign bars and clubs, if you decide you want to. Frequent and visit night clubs which don't have a large percentage of foreigners, be aware prepared to swallow your pride, bite your loose tongue and try not to step on any toes. There are many known cases where a drunken foreigner has been too mouthy or too forward with a young Taiwanese gal and has been found beaten unconscious in the street waiting for a lift to the nearest hospital. Just keep in mind that we are in their backyard, you are a visitor and respect others and you'll never have a problem. For the most part, try to keep to yourself and your friends and don't be too aggressive, touchy feel or too quick to approach others. Just approaching a chick, asking for a dance is considered uncommon. However, it is not uncommon to be minding your own business and get approached by a friendly Taiwanese wanting to meet you and practice their English or meet the outstanding minority, or new face in the crowd.

Karaoke (KTV)

KTV’s are a favored pastime or Taiwanese to spend their free time. This Most Taiwanese have true musical talent. Culture loves to sing and socialize. KTV's are Karaoke bars where you can rent a small to large sized private room go and sing and drink with colleagues, business clients or friends.It's not uncommon for a Taiwanese to invite his xpat friend to a night out at KTV for food and drink and singing women.Possibly find a 'girlfriend' for a price for the night if you so desire. They are scattered all over the country. There are basically two kinds of KTV's in Taiwan, the family kind and the more discreet “brothel” type. It’s not always that obvious which is which till you begin your adventure.

Drugs

Drugs seem to be everywhere in the world. Drugs are highly illegal in Taiwan and those caught selling face the death penalty, although it is difficult to recall any case where a foreigner has been treated this badly. The rave scene is thriving in Taiwan however and 'ecstasy, Kitamine coke and other hard drugs are readily available and can sometimes be seen out in the open in some bars/clubs. As of 2007, it's getting more strict and less seen in the open. After hours places breed this type of behavior.
