Once you exit, follow these three simple steps to find my entrance:
After arriving at A1 Station, please note that Exit 7 (normally the closest to my place) is temporarily closed for the next few years due to Taipei Twin Towers construction. Please leave via Exit 6 instead. Look left and walk across the historic red brick North Gate.
After crossing, keep to the right side of Yanping South Road and walk straight for about 100 meters.
Look for the green sign "Dong Yi Pork Chop" on the left side (restaurant is on the 1st floor). Enter the building, take the elevator to the 7th floor, and locate room 7F-12, marked by a purple lion and a blue door! That is my home!
To ensure a comfortable stay, please kindly follow these house rules:
Feel free to make yourself home with BAREFOOT, and avoid the suitcase from sliding along fragile wooden ground.
Optionally open the window ONLY from 20 pm to 8 am. The downstairs is a large restaurant. MUST close the window firmly from 8 am to 8 pm in daytime, or there will be irreversible disaster.
There are all bedding, sheets and sanitary equipments in a BLACK closet, then feel free to pick anything you need.
There are tap water and drinkable water from respective faucets in kitchen.
Push YELLOW button to flush the toilet and toilet tissues should be thrown into the toilet, not trash bin.
