Wha goes on at a Taiwanese 酒店 only on

In Mandarin 酒店 (Jiu Dian) means hotel, in Taiwan it has another meaning. Taiwan is famous for it’s 酒店 (Jiu Dian), and when I say famous, I mean famous. It’s known all over Asia, there’s nothing like it in the west. The most apt comparison would be a hostess bar or a strip club. I believe every culture has their own version of JD’s. There are all different kinds of 酒店 but they’re all pretty much the same. There is liquor, karaoke, and of course, women. Clients buy the room, liquor by the bottle and women to sit next to them and entertain them. The mama-san or madam can pick the girl for you or you can pick the girl yourself. The girls can come in 1 by 1 or it can be a big group of them and you pick à la the movie Rush Hour.

Asian men, especially the Taiwanese, and especially Taiwanese men like going to 酒店. Wives and girlfriends are OK with it, it’s part of the culture. The men go for a few reasons 1) to do business (the most commonly used one) 2) To check it out, all the guys go. 3) To feel like a prince or a king. They are the boss there, they may not be at work or at home. To be completely honest, a lot of business does get done at a 酒店, not unlike how guys will discuss and close deals at a strip club in the States. Nowadays it’s normal for women to go to the 酒店 for business too and it’s normal for guys to bring their girlfriends or their wives, but it still feels like a boys club. In Asia, drinking, smoking and business go hand-in-hand. First you drink, then you talk business. They (prospective clients or business partners) want to see how one acts when one gets drunk. Are they the same person? Do they become violent? Are they an emotional drunk? Are they going to act like a fool and make them look bad? Do their lips get looser when they get drunk and say something they aren’t suppose to say? Can you hold your liquor? Simply put, are they down? A 酒店 is a lot less formal than a pub or a bar, it’s more casual, more relaxed, guys find that they can be themselves.

.mei and .tw makes a cool discovery about one of their aunties only on

In the 1980s, Taiwan experienced a vibrant transformation of its nightlife, driven by rapid economic growth and urbanization, turning Taipei into a hotspot for modernized entertainment. Discotheques became the epicenter of this shift, where youth culture embraced Western-influenced music, including Italo disco, funk, and high-energy pop, often covering major hits from ABBA and New Order. The era marked a move away from traditional nightlife toward sophisticated, legally operated discotheques that allowed a rising generation to enjoy dancing and social activities, such as those found in the burgeoning city pop scene.

This period was characterized by a unique fusion of global disco trends and local, sentimental sensitivities. While the 1970s laid the foundation with “disco divas” and “funky queens,” the early 1980s continued this high-energy momentum, blending in more synth-pop, boogie, and electronic elements, sometimes producing distinct local interpretations of funk and soul. The musical landscape was heavily influenced by both Western pop and Japanese entertainment trends, which were popular among young people and reflected in the eclectic sound of Taiwan’s clubs and record stores.

The 80s disco scene was not just limited to nightclubs; it was part of a broader cultural movement that included fashion, pop-star culture, and anti-piracy campaigns, such as the anthem “Tomorrow Will Be Better” in 1985. As the decade progressed, this nightlife became more mainstream, with young people spending their leisure time in venues like MTVs, ice rinks, and discos. This era effectively re-imagined the Taiwanese nightlife experience, setting the stage for future trends and creating a nostalgic, vibrant, and, as some describe it, “mind-blowing” collection of pop music, funk, and disco tunes.
