Hey, I missed the Shaw theaters one, thanks! I spent a month in Kaosiung in 1980 when a ship I worked on drydocked there. It was a busy little town back then, and those were the days when Taiwan was the textbook pirate of the world. I still have the medical textbooks I bought vack then for a quarter of what they cost stateside. In those days blue collar workers chewed betel, and I found it quite enjoyable, especially the fresh nut, betel leaves and spices concoctions on ice that vendors would trundle around town. People there seemed friendly, and the street vendors at night were fun to check out, even if you weren't buying.
