Partying at G Star
New Taiwan friend!
I can honestly tell you, whenever I see this photo below, I laughed really hard. Because the guy on the right photobombed our photo. Kent was about to click the camera when he abruptly walked towards us. He stopped for a good 2 seconds and looked into the camera! Haha! Kent snapped the photo.
With Wonder from Korea. He's a really quiet person! LOL!

Drinking at Mudan Bar, Taipei!
Mudan is one of the bigger terrace bars in the gay village, offering a wide range of wines, beers and cocktails. Popular with the trendy gay boys and girls of all ages, and makes a good place to meet up with friends before hitting the clubs.
ust outside of the Red House in Ximending is one of the best areas in Taipei to sit outside and enjoy a beer. Away from the bright lights and crowds of teenagers in search of the latest trends, there is a completely different world made up of bars and underwear stores catering to gay men.
While these bars are aimed at a predominantly gay crowd, there are usually just as many straight people enjoying a drink on weekends. Most of the bars in this area offer great specials on beers allowing you to get 3 cold Heinekens for as little as NT$180.
Mudan is just one of many patio bars to choose from, notable because they have a friendly staff, free wifi and a great selection of cocktails.
In short, if you’re looking for a place to spend a chill evening with friends, but aren't interested in clubs or smoky bars, Ximending probably has something for you.
