citylikeyou — Cashbox — Taipei by Ting-Ting Cheng

Taipei / Bar

Cashbox is a chained karaoke business. Unlike the karaoke in Europe, usually located in pubs, for people who are brave enough to sing in front of other strangers. In Cashbox, we show up as a group of friends, we have our own room with screen, computer, and microphones. We order whatever songs we like from the computer, then the music videos show up on the screen and we sing along! It’s a great place for relieving pressure.

Taipei / Cafe

A lovely cafe that you can see a little garden at the door, and inside there are some chairs flying in the air. You can have a nice drink accompany with their selected books and magazines. I like the atmosphere in Merci Cafe.

Taipei / Museum

While I am in Taipei, Taipei Fine Art Museum is one of the places that I go most frequently. Well, not only because it’s not far from where I live by scooter, but also because it’s really cheap! (The entrance fee is about 60p.) And, of course, despite the political scandal, the exhibitions are always diverse and interesting, and it has great library in the basement. On top of that, after my solo show, some of the staffs and I became friends. So, 60p for great exhibitions, free books and hanging out with friends, why not?

Taipei / Place

A beautiful old alley - one of my favorite walking path to collage. The residents in the alley still remain the old school living style that can rarely be seen in the city nowadays.

Taipei / Natural Area

A forest area situated in southeastern Xinshian Village in Wulai Township. Wulai is also a tourist town most renowned for its hot springs, sightseeing, and aboriginal culture.

Taipei / Cafe

My favorite cafe in Taipei. For friends gathering, gossiping, discussing, it is more about just having a lunch. The meals are wonderful. I cannot remember how many times I sat here.
