[This story was rewritten from a scan of an old Cantonese magazine, the date and author of which are not known…] I was invited by my friends Piggy, Sewa and Lao Meng… to visit Treasure Island.
In the evening, I took a flight from Hong Kong, almost an hour, and arrived at Ximending, Taipei, at around 7:00 p.m. I saw Piggy, whom I had not seen for ten years, had grown up from a small child to an adult.
The impression of Ximending’s several small cross streets and narrow alleys is gray and disheveled.
Some of the prostitutes, who had lost their business, saw us and sang in a teasing manner: “Not going home today… wandering people… wandering hearts…”
Today, 10 years later, what is the scene in Taipei? Apart from the fact that the Hong Kong Dollar and Taiwan Dollar used to trade at a rate of 1:8 to 1:3 now, what else is there?
Arriving in Ximending, we immediately walked to the neighborhood streets, trying to capture the shadows of those days, the lost years of youth.
However, it’s not like that at all anymore. The sights you see in the neighborhood of Ximending no longer have the Harajuku character of yesteryear, and in its place, it’s become colder and more downtrodden.
Noisy places where foul language abounds, where betel-coconut juice is all over the place, and ugly alleys that are still in ruins, and old girls selling smiles in twos and threes.
At the moment of disappointment, I could hear the voice of a “tai pao” around me: “Boss, there is a pretty girl here.”
The first thing to do in Ximending is of course to see if there is a beef restaurant.
Taiwanese people call the place where striptease pornography is performed “beef farm”.
Because the Taiwanese word for “beef” is close to the word for “meat”, a beef farm is a place where “meat is exposed and sold”.
Since 1984, this special place of entertainment has been like “a wildfire burning all over Taiwan’s treasure island”.
In the midst of the chorus of the song, the dancers were wearing less and less clothes, only cicada-like veils were left, and their bodies were even naked, and the soldiers around them, who were fond of this kind of performance, were staring with their eyes wide open, and some of them had their mouths half-open, as if their acupuncture points were being tapped in a martial arts movie…
Beefcake shows are a guaranteed source of revenue for the box office, but it’s strange that after all these years, the police don’t send their officers to “come and teach”.
It turns out that the beef farms performed in movie theaters by the Taiwanese authorities to ease the operations of the police authorities are under the supervision of the Information Service.
In addition, the occurrence of theaters and opera houses is under the control of the Construction Bureau or the Education Bureau.
After walking out of the beef farm for a while, I was a bit hungry and walked into a small store to eat the famous pork chop rice in this area.
The pork chop and rice at this place is actually the same as what you would normally eat open, the only difference is the good manners of the waiter.
The pork chop and rice is flavorful in the mouth and is first-rate for filling the belly.
A book suddenly appeared in front of me, a pornographic comic book for guests to read while eating.
When I asked the waiter where it came from, he answered quickly, “It’s wonderful.”
Brilliant, spot on answer indeed, and sure enough the content was bold as hell, and when pressed, I learned that it was rented from a rental store.
Taipei area of the comic day rental store, rent all the pornographic comic day book, over the old dream that it is vulgar content, I also think that the pictures and text of the obscene degree, simply staggering.
The waiter said that many students in Taipei have a penchant for reading pornographic comics during class, and they risk being confiscated by their teachers to peek at them, so you can imagine how powerful the magic is.
And a higher percentage of female students watch it and talk about the Three Character Sutra after reading it.
Pornographic comic books are also available in Hong Kong. I asked the waiter if there were any others, and the waiter came back and brought me a “lotto cake”.
Lotto cookies are erotic contraptions packaged in the shape of a dollar bill, and the cookies are hard, lemon-scented, orange-flavored, and more.
When you peel it off you will find the picture of a naked woman that comes with the bag, which varies from bag to bag and is about a dollar.
The color printing of the picture in the important parts of the woman is covered with a piece of thin mold, like lottery tickets “good easy to send”, as long as the fingernails or coins to scrape off the film, the important parts will be revealed.
You can also flip over the picture after scratching to see a yellow joke printed on the back.
“Boom! Boom…”, the sound of piles being driven on the roadside on both sides is a noise for the future subway under construction.
Once upon a time, the traffic was very smooth, but nowadays, it is jammed because of the road construction.
Passing by in a car on the pavement feels like a roller coaster ride, throwing highs and lows.
Taipei is a small city, and I remember telling my driver that I was a “lonely night dweller”, and he was able to take the client to his destination in no time…
“Taipei City’s Forest North Road, Zhongshan North Road, Nanjing East Road, Zhongxiao East Road area, etc. are full of piano bars, pornographic MTVs, KTVs, oil presses and touch teas.” Uncle Su Hua, who was driving, introduced.
“Are the girls pretty?” I asked.
“It’s not bad! Maybe I’ll find a student for you.” Uncle Suhua said honestly.
Sure enough, I looked up and saw signs on the building’s facade that read “Summer Vacation Package for Students” and so on.
“What is touch tea?” I asked again.
“It’s an old people’s cafe.” Sewa spat out the blood-red betel nut: “Many older people would come in there to drink tea and at the same time make a pass at the ladies…”
Stepping out of the car not enough five seconds, downstairs the solicitor scalper loudly shouted: “Sit inside, Miss beautiful, good technology.”
Climbing up the narrow wooden stairs to the second floor, the long, flat, spaghetti-barred space was spaced out into booths less than fifty feet apart, and on the sofas next to the cashier’s counter sat a line of well-dressed young girls watching the customers out of the corners of their eyes as they walked in.
There were less than fifty video cassettes on the high counter against the wall, and when they were being selected, the middle-aged man in the store, who had cut his army uniform, frequently asked, “Do you need the service of that lady?”
And with a gesture, he indicated that the lady on the couch could pick as many as she wanted.
In the darkroom, it is a “touch tea” service.
Minimum spending of $1,000 to $1,500 (i.e. HK$3 to HK$500).
Tea is optional, alcohol consumption is separate.
The service is generally based on flirting and flirting, and you can use your hands to touch and feel the body of the lady.
If the physiological needs of the request to do “additional” services, it will be brought to the dark room by the lady “another battlefield”, double the charges.
Touch of tea, there are indeed many part-time female students, work purely to earn extra money or play ticket nature of the majority, generally not very keen to play with the guests of the real army.
Unless the guests continuously cupped several times, has been a little clear each other’s details, otherwise it is not easy to “to the body”.
Checking the police records, in the past in the touch tea, indeed seized a lot of female students waiting to pick up passengers in the age of 13 to 16 years old, most of them are voluntary, these “drop wing boy” (runaway girls) said that the work is easy, the income is by no means lost to an air hostess miles.
It was a starry night, and as I stood on the streets of the Eastern District with a tired body, sipping on the intoxicating Taiwanese beer and enjoying the bright neon signs, I hoped that the night would never end… “I will take you to the oil-pressure… and the sauna…” I remembered my friend, Siu Chor, once said.
At this moment, I found the old store “22500”, and it was still there.
Back then, we did not know what “22500” stood for. However, those who had often been involved in the sex scene knew that it was a kind of pornographic code.
The “1,350” is just a price. Anyone who goes there and asks the lady to “take a break” once is NT$1,350, and it is only because the price has a final number that it arouses everyone’s interest.
The restaurant is located in a building between Section 4 of Zhongxiao East Road and Yanji Street.
There’s no signage, but everyone in the business knows it’s in that building, and you can touch it with your eyes closed.
This building, the first floor is residential, second to ninth floors are office buildings, but the tenth floor and above, is where the hotel, about 20, 30 rooms, equipment is not first-class, although ordinary decoration, guests are endless.
Back in the day, it took a knowledgeable horse to lead the way to get there.
The hotel is very secretive and strict monitoring, a little suspicion of raw guests, will not open the floodgates, want to enter the tenderness of the countryside is more difficult than heaven.
Now the code word “2-2-5-0” has become obsolete, and it has become 2-6-8-0, and it is not known whether it is harmonized with “Yi Lai Fa La”, but after so many years, it is not surprising that prices have risen.
To go to this “three warm”, it is best to call their “mature beauty”, these beauties aged between twenty-five years old, the appearance of endless charm, gestures and kung fu is very skillful, so that the customers have eaten over the turn of the search for flavor.
In addition to the original cast from Treasure Island, there are also foreign beauties from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Korea, CIS and Africa, all of whom are very beautiful.
You must visit Show when you visit Treasure Island.
Treasure Island gives people the impression that there is no Show, and that there are Shows being held day and night.
In my memory, Ishi still remembers the erotic dance troupes that used to be held in the countryside, where the dancers dared to perform on stage as long as they had the “money” to do so, and there was no need for them to be good dancers at all…
With the new development, the name of the troupe was changed to “Tusu”. (Tusu is the local name for Show, because “show” and “show” have the same sound.)
After the “Toushou” became popular in the south-central part of Taiwan, it spread to the north and east of the country.
There are no rowdy venues for dirt shows, ticket sellers doubling as ticket collectors, ticket collectors doubling as standers, lighting crews doubling as hosts, and even singing a couple of songs.
The band may only get two people, and if they can’t get the right number of people, play the tape OK and forget about it.
The main reason why local shows can occupy a seat is that the style of local showgirls is bold and provocative, which definitely caters to the vulgar taste of the audience from the lower class society, and the ticket price is also quite cheap.
I asked Uncle Suhua to tell me how many local shows there are in Taiwan, and he quickly listed a bunch of them: “Lingerie shows, where models wear all kinds of underwear and perform on stage. These shows were originally prepared by underwear counters in department stores to introduce new products to female consumers. Later, the catering industry put on shows in restaurants and lounges to attract customers.”
“Fate can see the lingerie show in Taoyuan, the underwear worn by the models, really hidden, in a semi-transparent state, although the performance time is ten to twenty minutes, but also teach people to be mesmerized.”
“In addition to the lingerie show, there is a “wear crash show”, is the performer dressed in dignified costumes, while dancing and singing, accidentally wear crash, either the blouse slipped, or skirt slipped, of course, these small actions are pre-arranged, one hundred dollars of tickets, you can see in some restaurants. “
“Premiere shows are most common in many theaters in south-central China. Because of the downturn in the movie industry, theater operators, in order to attract audiences, would add a short premiere show before the main show… that is to say, a short premiere show featuring scantily clad ladies shaking on stage and performing hot moves, or performing light weight or cartilage exercises, yoga techniques, etc. wearing hemp ropes, etc., “to bring out the softness and sensuality of the human body.”
“Any more?” I asked with a smile.
“Yes, of course. Do you want to buy a house? If you don’t buy, you can also go and look…”
In this way, Uncle Suhua drove the car to Minan West Road near Fuzhou Bridge.
This is a few newly built houses have not yet been occupied, in any Taiwan can be seen, but the characteristic is built in front of the house, is a temporary scaffolding, onlookers are not too many people, left and right between the intersection, I found are mostly men, I thought: Could it be that the lonely widowers want to take advantage of the opportunity to choose a good house, as a golden house to hide a girl?
In fact, it is a “site show”, stirred up to tie in with the sale of houses.
Today, the large advertising sign clearly states that the red singer sings at the drop of a hat and the modeling team performs in summer swimsuits.
Needless to say, it’s another…
Opening show, people gradually more and more, the host announced the sale of the unit area of the house and money, then a few “small singers” one after another out and dance and sing, they must not be too well-known, but wins in the appearance of youthful appearance, low-cut shirt plus short skirt.
Those who were standing on the stage only had to look up a little to see what was underneath the skirt… a pair of transparent white silk underpants, and even the shape of the “dark forest” was clearly visible.
The summer swimsuit show in the middle was also very eye-catching, and the young piglet beside him, who seemed to be only 16 years old, saw his “trumpet” blowing up in his pants…
Site show was originally invited to some of the film and television stars to come to cut the ribbon or perform to help celebrate, by their popularity to attract crowds, to achieve the purpose of housing promotion, but over time, the audience is tired of watching, the construction industry has come up with this trick to undress, the implementation of the color lure customers.
The climax of the finale is a little singer in a dress to sell the performance, she is the most powerful place, is to sing to the end, the whole body is stripped naked, naked in broad daylight, in full view of the public, dancing in pornographic dance, chicken monster around the men’s heartbeat sound accelerated beating.
Nowadays, many people who want to see a free strip show, on Saturday or Sunday, open the newspaper, looking for building ads, near to go to the “show”, is not lost as a holiday entertainment.
The “gentle wolf,” as he is known, is a local Taiwanese friend who takes everyone to strip for a drink after dinner.
The “Gentle Wolf” is the nickname of the host of a strip escort hotel, he Gu has a lot of Taiwanese girls, customers can first look for a lady in the downstairs cafe, the waiter will hand over a “menu”, the menu is not a real menu, but the price list of the lady, let you pick the right one, and then go to the jacket for a drink. The menu is not a menu of real dishes, but a price list of ladies to choose from, and if you like what you see, then you can go to the hotel on the jacket and have a good time.
We randomly selected eight ladies, some as tall as Joey Wong, some as regal as Brigitte Lin, and one with wrinkles on her face like Hu Huizhong’s modern version of….
At this time the hotel has prepared the room, sit down soon, eight ladies came in, without three minutes, all when looking at the guests in front of, take off a fine naked.
Sixteen breasts plus eight August 15s are revealed to the public without reservation.
Strip to accompany each section is Taiwan dollar one thousand, a section of fifteen minutes, during which the customer can move in the body of the lady, these ladies will have a certain degree of tolerance, as for the countertop above the wine and food money is calculated separately.
Each small dish of shredded squid five a catty, peanuts and melon seeds three hundred yuan, small dried fish five hundred yuan, a bottle of XO, is nearly ten thousand yuan, open XO two bottles or more, will get a VIP card, 10% discount preferential treatment.
That pig lamb sat less than a section, between the “little piggy” has been in front of the smell of meat fascinated, high up, on the spot to pull down the pants, to one of the young lady in the back.
After finishing, the lady only recovered $3,000. The other seven ladies, seeing that Piggy only took two minutes to cum and play, spread their thighs and arched their asses high, asking him if he wanted to continue in the hope of making a new deal.
It seemed that three thousand dollars for two minutes would be in line with the economics of the lady, and we all offered our patronage, but Piggy had his heart in the right place!
After watching the piglet’s “real-life performance”, on the way back to the hotel, someone suggested to go to Huaxi Street for a stroll.
“You’ll have to use both of them together!” Old Dream reminded everyone.
By two, he didn’t mean two hookers together, but two contraceptive bags together.
Because, STDs are very serious in the area of Huaxi Street and many johns have been hit at one time or another.
“The price is very low and most of the locals go there, so all the prostitutes have STDs…” The roller also reveals that on a recent visit, he had to wear four contraceptive pouches, in addition to sterilizing pills on his penis, before he had the guts to get started.
To desperately want to go to play things everyone “shrink sand”, of course, also “shrink Yang”, so early back to the hotel.
On the way, I saw a big neon sign of “Friday” and Piggy asked if I would be interested in trying it out. It’s full of midnight cowboys and transvestites and so on.
I’m not interested in the “Harem”, so I’ll say goodbye to the Midnight Cowboy and say goodbye to the Dancing Man.
Now, more than a decade later, I am back on the land of Treasure Island, but I realize that things have changed, and year after year, the yellow business seems to be even brighter…
