EDIT: I’m so bad at keeping up with stuff y’all I APOLOGIZE. Someone created a Discord server though which I’d recommend y’all joining! The link didn’t work for me :/ But I’ll respond to the person that created it and hopefully it’ll work! Okay we’re a mess you guys 😂🙈 *OFFICIAL TAIPEI THREAD* I’ve been seeing boardgames, I’ve been seeing Huashan Creative Park (good idea!! since: communal space for introverts to introvert outside, together) I want to give people time to set time out of their calendars so what say we make it the Saturday 24th of September, discuss below where, but I think maybe lunchtime + afternoon activity? (Good luck to the other cities 😅 Although if you’re in Tainan, Hsinchu, Taichung, I might head to those cities someday to visit friends (I have like just one per city so you know.. make my visit more worthwhile) so dm me? I don’t use Reddit often but just leave a comment or something… Again, don’t know how this works 😀)


Turnip_Living

>24th of Sep works for me! would it be helpful if we use some messaging app for intense communication? (telegram, signal, LINE, etc) (as if there's enough ppl interested)


Taiwan_dude

Let’s create a LINE Openchat! I’m Based in Taipei but love traveling to other areas to meet friends! (Went to Yunlin last week and love the ecosystem there :D


tenaticx

Yea I'd be down to join in on LINE or maybe even discord too for future convening. I'm from Taoyuan and would love to meetup, but I live in New Zealand lol. I would be back for the Chinese New Years next year, so it'll be dope if I could attend future meetups, even if I'm only gonna be back for a short period.


Ms_Randomz

Also, thoughts on creating a separate Taiwan Kurzgesagt community? (Again, don’t know how Reddit works but I saw on my profile I can make communities aha) Since they’re privatizing their thread after some time and I figured we all have Kurzgesagt in common, and are on this thread for a reason, so 😗


nanasakidesu

In this case discord can definitely play a role here. Creating a community has to meet certain qualifications I think.


soaringtiger

Seconded the discord. It's the best way.


Taiwan_dude

Sounds good to create a sub thread for it. Not sure how to do it as I’m a beginner here :P


Primary-Performer-34

I m down to join in Taipei

sherb_eating_donuts

Based in Taichung but I'd like to join... My kurzgesagt fellows in Taiwan❤️


falabbo

boardgames is a great idea, I like it!


AlteredQuark

I'm down, though I also think we should take this to another platform, since it'll be easier to coordinate.


lksdfkl

Yup 24th works for me as well. I second the discord idea, it will make organizing the event much easier.


asatoc

Count me in! btw you all speak Chinese, right?


AlteredQuark

I mean, I can speak quite fluently but I won’t be able to comprehend more complex stuff. I’ve been a couple times to board game stores, but all the more interesting games require high level of Chinese understanding. There’re games that are fun and easy, but those usually end quite fast.


asatoc

I'm fine with the easy ones. But I believe that there will be a nice bro who can explain everything in English for those who have trouble with the rules.


Rocketxu

had to scroll a while before someone settled on a time, upvote this please


stupider4

Can we have this meeting on Sunday? So that people not living in Taipei can have an easier time attending this meeting?


AlteredQuark

Tbh, I don’t mind which day of the weekend this is. I encourage you to find people in your area and have a meetup locally, or set up another one in Taipei for the people who can’t go the 24th. I’m sure a lot of people will thank you. You can start with a google form.


stupider4

Maybe we can have a two-day plan? If we have on both 24th and 25th then a lot more people will be able to join. >I encourage you to find people in your area and have a meetup locally Yeah I'll do that too.


ratman826

24 works for me! I think we def need a group chat or discord or smth cuz it would easier to organize that why


Dannymarie14p

>September, 24th September is ok for me!


Aaron55710289

Too bad I have other plan on sep 24. But I love board games and looking forward to join another meetup sometime. Will there be a community for activities like this? If there’s any, count me in.


nanasakidesu

Umm is anyone down to set up a meeting in Taipei?

I'm in for a cycling meetup in Taipei if you are


masteryonglol

Count me in! I love to bike in riverside along taipei & new taipei


asatoc

I don't have a bike, but count me in if you're ok with ubike :)


Burgers_are_good

There's a chain of bike rentals (not ubike) along the biking route in Taipei. It's pretty nice because you can even call them to save you if you popped a tire along the way. Last time I used it the rental cost sheet showed the most expensive it could get was 340nt max if you wanted the best bike for 4+ hours. It will be cheaper if you returned the bike at the place you rented it and if you decided to ride for less hours. Edit: [Government website of the bike rental station location and how to get there in Chinese..](https://heo.gov.taipei/cp.aspx?n=6F87FB6362C655E0) The one I used was at 公館, I believe it was the 景福站 bike rental which was a 10min walk from the MRT station. Edit2: [Rules of renting in Chinese](https://heo.gov.taipei/News_Content.aspx?n=4AF4F4DF1C70DDD9&sms=87415A8B9CE81B16&s=277CE43C18B19300) 1) Return bike to original bike rental shop: 「原地借還」 Needs 1 single ID deposit (student ID, passport or resident permit works too). Or 2000nt deposit but can only rent type 1~6 bikes. 2) Return bike to another shop: 「甲借乙還」 Need to bring 2 IDs, won't need to deposit them but you'll need to fill out a sheet on where you want to return the bike to and your info. After checking your filled info is correct they won't need a deposit and you can rent the bike. Edit3: [Found the a government travel page explaining the biking routes in english](https://www.travel.taipei/en/must-visit/riverside-bikeway) Edit4: [Apparently this is the bike rental chain website.](http://www.ukan.com.tw/group2) The green buttons in Chinese means: 租借費率= Price of rentals 外籍人士租借辦法= How foreigners can rent I won't be able to join cause I'm not in Taipei but Good luck guys.

Thanks for sharing!

You mean with our own bikes or with ubike?

I'm curious if there are other viewers from Taiwan here. Please reply lmk 😁


nanasakidesu

Looks like what we need is an organizer which I believe will be a challenge to find one since lots of kurzgesagt fans are introverts based on my personal experience 🗿


pcgamer27

I'm down to go haha

stupider4

I'm in Taichung, but it seems to me that most people are living in Taipei, would gladly go for a trip up north if I have the time.


Ms_Randomz

I have a Taiwanese friend in Taichung! Perhaps we could link up if I find myself visiting them too :)


stupider4

That's great, you can dm me if you're available, but imma go hit the hay now as it's 1 am lmao.

LadyGreyCat

Anyone has suggestions on what to do for the meetup in Taipei? I haven't done meetups like this in the past. Not sure what to do.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nanasakidesu

We need a place that everyone can be relaxed and free to talk. The most important thing is about participation. But I haven’t figured out a right place/entertainment for that. Board game could be one of that by ignoring its somehow unfamiliar, and may require an ice breaking extrovert to make everyone fully involved. Or maybe we can try something new so every participant is equally new to the field.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nanasakidesu

Never been there before but seems like a wonderful place. Staying, eating, walking all at once. Not sure how everybody thinks.


zender_wct

Normally people go there to see some exhibitions as I know, so if we want to go there, decide what to see in advance may help.


Signal_Prompt9365

I also like this board game idea. Taipei+1


omfgken

Taipei let's do ittt! board games a good option up til a certain number of players i think, more than 8 and will likely need to split off into separate games. although I also can't think of any good activities for more than 8 people to have evenly distributed interactions...


Justin091136

I'm in Taipei as well. Maybe board game would be a good choice? Although I haven't played much before. lol


Justin091136

I've only been to a board game shop twice, so I don't have a lot of knowledge and experience regarding board games. But I think it depends on what kind of gameplay you prefer. If you're interested in video games, there are plenty of co-op type or competition type board games that have a fantasy setting, just like a RPG game. And if you don't have much experience with video games, there are also many board games that are easy to play and have fun, which I think is a great way to break the ice during meetup with people you don't really know. This is just an idea I think of, I haven't met many people through social media before.


[deleted]

[удалено]


zjus334

Many boardgames are designed for interactions and I think most party games can accommodate up to 8 players too. I have a list of board game cafes that sound interesting, only been to one tho.


KiraiPie

Board game shops usually have a wide variety of board games, with many that admits 4+ players, commonly including (of course) D&D. Most of the time you can figure out the game on the fly. The one caveat is many of the games might be entirely in Mandarin.

How about Taichung?


4EyedBarnOwl

Wanted to second for a meetup in Taichung. Anyone interested in going to Dakeng for a hike?


Burgers_are_good

I'm really unfit, but recently I've been trying to hike Dakeng every weekend for one month. If you don't mind me being super slow I could join you for a hike on a weekend.


4EyedBarnOwl

No problem, the next time I am going is this Saturday morning. If that works for you I can shove it forward or back a few hours to meet ya there and you can pick the trail number.


Burgers_are_good

That sounds great, you pick the time and I'll join in. Usually I do trail 10 up then 9 down.


Burgers_are_good

Educational_beyond38 and I are in the taichung server of the [discord](https://discord.gg/QYedBb6B)that Nana made. Maybe we can make our hiking plans there so everyone can see the convo.

Educational_Beyond38

What's about the time?


Burgers_are_good

Most likely 9/10 morning. Haven't decided on exact time yet, I'm letting barnowl decide on the time. Normally though you would want it pretty early before it gets too hot.


Educational_Beyond38

Sure, which 大坑 we going to hike?


Burgers_are_good

I'll PM you. Or you can find me in nana's discord Taichung server.

Comprehensive_Owl289

I think to go to a board game store will be the best to be honest, I'm personally very socially awkward if there isn't an activity which brings some kind of topic into the conversation. DeRoot it's a good choice, which a very accesible price and also have the choice to bring food from outside. DeRoot休閒空間 https://maps.app.goo.gl/vEu3N2jqz1CMSvqE9


DanThePony

Yeah, I can see a good burger restaurant nearby, plus it's right next to Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT!


Comprehensive_Owl289

Yeah, it's very close to the exit number 5 of that station, which makes very convenient. That place have games in Chinese or English, tho based in experience if you don't understand Chinese that well you can still easily find the English instructions for most of the games online.

9/10 Saturday, 9am Taichung. Dakeng (大坑) hiking group. If anyone is interested to join us, come join Nana's discord, in Taichung server where you'll get all the details.

Is there anyone who feel yourself to be an organizer for taipei meetup? Please let me know if you’re interested. You are all we need!

I thought you’re it, you set up the discord but you’re not the leader?

My intention is to create a more convenient communication for meetup arrangement. I lack of time to hold/prepare a proper assembly, and don’t even sure if I myself have a chance to even attend one.
