I've been here a few time already and I love it. Are you Taiwanese? @red

2017-06-12 15:38:43 UTC  

Yeah.

2017-06-12 15:38:59 UTC  

It's like a clean, democratic and civilised version of China with actual human beings @icecream

2017-06-12 15:39:15 UTC  

@icecream I think the people are nicer but I'm very likely bias

2017-06-12 15:39:15 UTC  

With Kaohsiung being the most amazing city

2017-06-12 15:39:46 UTC  

That sounds neat.

2017-06-12 15:40:13 UTC  

I haven't been to kaohsiung in a long time. It's a manufacturing hub so I bet there's plenty of good chink shit there

2017-06-12 15:41:29 UTC  

May I ask in which city you live? @red

2017-06-12 15:41:34 UTC  

Taipei

2017-06-12 15:41:36 UTC  

I just get stuff at guanghua or through ruten, ahaha

2017-06-12 15:42:01 UTC  

weirdly enough, shit's often cheaper through the english chink sites

2017-06-12 15:42:16 UTC  

I don't know Taipei too well but I get lost easily there since my Mandarin is just basic

2017-06-12 15:42:38 UTC  

I prefer Kaohsiung. When there are only two metro lines, chances I get the right one are 50%

2017-06-12 15:43:00 UTC  

Ahaha, that's true. The MRT is huge

2017-06-12 15:43:33 UTC  

Kaoshiung has the weeb-tastic KRT girls though

2017-06-12 15:43:52 UTC  

What do you mean?

2017-06-12 15:44:10 UTC  

Anime mascot for the metro rail system there

2017-06-12 15:44:27 UTC  

I follow a few japanese on twitter that came to taiwan specifically to go there

2017-06-12 15:44:46 UTC  

i'm looking for a powerbank
banggood refunded my order, citing some regulation regarding batteries, gearbest won't even let me order. what to do?

2017-06-12 15:45:08 UTC  

Ah the anime girl on all the metro signs? @red

2017-06-12 15:45:15 UTC  

Yeah

2017-06-12 15:45:45 UTC  

My gf always stands next to the signs, tries to mimic her and puts a photo of it on Instagram

2017-06-12 15:46:46 UTC  

And once she did so nearby a toilet and got problems because you may not take photos nearby the toilet

2017-06-12 15:47:04 UTC  

lol, yeah

2017-06-12 15:48:03 UTC  

Are there really "camera detection systems" or do the signs lie?

2017-06-12 15:48:10 UTC  

And if yes: how does this work?

2017-06-12 15:48:13 UTC  

sensitive issue since there used to be people who would put hidden cameras in the toilets, they have comprehensive systems in place to detect those now though

2017-06-12 15:48:46 UTC  

Was it a big deal when this happened?

2017-06-12 15:49:07 UTC  

I haven't seen them in action myself but they would probably just be a radio receiver that scans whatever frequencies the cameras leak

2017-06-12 15:49:33 UTC  

I'm not aware why cameras should leak different frequencies if any compared to other devices

2017-06-12 15:50:00 UTC  

But if it works, it's cool

2017-06-12 15:50:34 UTC  

I know you can detect certain electronics like that, maybe it's based on what they transmit? not sure

2017-06-12 15:50:56 UTC  

Ah sure so this means they transmit, not record

2017-06-12 15:51:18 UTC  

When I was growing up here I'd hear news stories about cameras being found

2017-06-12 15:52:02 UTC  

I assumed a better way to place a hidden camera in the toilet would be to have one that just records, and then at some point, you go pick it up to see the thousands of pees until you find that specific one that turns you on specially

2017-06-12 15:52:30 UTC  

Yeah. Maybe it just detects anything electronic

2017-06-12 15:52:59 UTC  

You don't really expect anything in, like, a vent

2017-06-12 15:53:20 UTC  

Well it's a pretty disgusting thing to do

2017-06-12 15:54:22 UTC  

I wouldn't be worried, personally

2017-06-12 15:54:40 UTC  

I haven't heard about that happening in a long time
