A visit to Snake Alley in the evening is interesting. The area has become a popular night market. There are shopping stalls and also many restaurants, some still serving snake, turtle and other gourmet dishes, but don't worry - 'normal' Asian food prevails.

Beware, the fellas, entertaining you with the snakes, do not like you to take photos and will get pretty upset if you do - but try it anyway.

A carnival-like atmosphere, very colourful. You can do this on your own or as part of a night tour.

Haushi Street Night Market is located nearby Lungshan Temple. The night market, together with night markets on Guangjou Street, Wujou Street and Shichen Street have formed a large unique market. Various commodities are sold here and it is one of the favored sites of tourists. A Chinese traditional post stands at the entrance of Haushi Street Night Market. Chinese traditional lamps are hung along the street. There are old, historical shops along the street that provide great dishes. For example, the tanszi noodle restaurant, the favorite of Japanese tourists, started its business here. Other great dishes like meat soup and squid soup attract many people. In the summer, chopped ice plates and fresh juice are in great demand. In the winter, dishes with Chinese medicine attract many visitors.

Shrlin night market or Lungshan temple market
If you're into slithering snakes, food on sticks, foot massages or cheap clothes then this is the place for you. If not, then its still worth going to check it out.

Apparently snakes are attracted to black. It's your call from there!

Just like my friend told me, KTV and Karaoke are two completely different things. Karaoake i knew existed, KTV i did not! It is madness but so much fun. Basically we walked into this 4 floor place (apparently there is one 10 floors), each floor having at least 20 rooms, just like a hotel. Every room is complete with a large TV set, coaches, tables, and sophisticated Karoake machines and an en-suite bathroom. Once you're in it's all what you can drink (tea, coffee) and eat of ice-cream for free. Basically, they try to keep you in there for the longest time possible and guess what? It totally works, my friends and i stayed 5.5 hours and they explained later it was an average night. Me who sounded like Marlon Brando from the godfather by then, didn't quite think so! Top night!!

Room 18 (in the Warner Village) did not live up to some of the hype that I had read about it on the Internet. The music was pretty mediocre 'dance pop', the crowd seemed a little shallow, and there were far too many foreigners there.

Nice dress required.

Theme: Nightclub

Directions: B1, No. 18 Sungshou Road., in the Warner Village Cinema complex

Sonic Lemon had a thriving techno dance scene with a lot of people dancing and having a great time. Almost entirely locals which I like. It was energetic and friendly, but extremely packed at 2 AM on the weekend. I think they stay open until 8 AM on the weekends? My oh my..

No dress code, but go in club clothes ready to dance.

Theme: Nightclub

Directions: B1-1, 270, Sec. 4, Chunghsiao E. Rd., Taipei It's on the corner and you have to walk down some steps to it.

KISS: With the girls from Cali...
Where else can you see men doing the 'choo choo' all night long!

A very large club with two different rooms for music selection. The main floor has a stage. In the summer of 98, the wanna-be backstreet boys were there...it was HILARIOUS watching the Taiwanese locals try and imitate their moves...well worth the trip! We would hit Kiss on Wednesdays (Ladies Night) or Fridays... And the BEST was finding a BMW taxi cab with DVD system waiting for you outside...only in TAIPEI baby!

Singing and dancing with friends until dawn...can't beat that! 'Dancing Queen, young and sweet only seventeen...' Great snacks to go with the singing! (We would always get the 'suai jiao' (dumplings)) And the milk tea is YUMMY!

None.
