Grace Banqiao Brothel ❤️

About Changhua

But lemme tell ya, some stuff bout brothels gets me riled up! Men swaggerin’ in, actin’ like they own the joint—makes my blood boil hotter’n a skillet! Them gals deserve respect, y’know? Ain’t easy smilin’ through that mess. Once heard a tale—prolly true—bout a brothel in Nevada where the girls unionized! Can ya believe it? Struttin’ round, demandin’ fair pay, like, “This ain’t no charity, fellas!” Had me cheerin’—go on, queens!

Bangka: A Corner of Old Prosperity (Wanhua District)

Banqiao, capital of New Taipei, also another nice district, is just a little bit further west (accessible by subway); Housing prices compared.

Then, I spot this street performer. He’s playing the erhu, and it’s beautiful. I stop, totally mesmerized. The music hits me right in the feels. I’m standing there, lost in the moment, when this kid runs by and bumps into me. My bubble tea goes flying! I’m like, “Nooooo!” It splatters everywhere. I’m furious, but then I see the kid’s face. He’s just a little dude, probably didn’t mean it. I can’t stay mad. I just laugh it off.
