Author’s apartment text not appearing in final edit(Chyuan Yuan Road, Peitou district; opening hours ALWAYS, never to you unless you are a trained massage therapist and / or are bringing me Adderol; prac string deleted...)
Want your own personal visit with Lonely Planet Taiwan co-author Joshua Samuel Brown? Forget it. He is a misanthrope who dislikes visitors and spends his time when not working his fingers to the bone for your benefit soaking naked and comparing tattoos with gangsters in the semi-private basement hot-spring in his Beitou apartment building. You’d like to see that, wouldn’t you? Well, just forget it. And stop hitting him, up for free advice! “Where should I take my uncle when he comes to Taiwan, Josh?” “Should I go to Singapore or Hong Kong, Josh?”
Buy the damned books, you freeloaders! And leave comments on his blog!
If you're really determined you might catch him at the Sushi Express (see EATING below) around lunchtime.

I feel your pain, Joshua.
When I worked as the Mr. Know-it-all advice columnist for HK Magazine, people were constantly calling / emailing / asking me stuff off hours -- where do I buy large women's shoes? Where do I get a gong? What's the phone number for Yung Kee restaurant? How do you say pork-bone-for-soup in Cantonese?
It drove me crazy. I wish they would just write into the columnist, or buy the Mr. KIA book, or Google stuff. Especially easy stuff like addresses!
Anyway, nice living room light fixture.
If I give you a Valerian tincture we will be square on the free advice front, right? Like I said, I have some Kava tea too...
