Bit of a retard here, going to be in Taiwan for 1 month with work soon(posted in the thread earlier). Where are some decent bars for an American? Looking online some of the pubs and bars have insane hours I can't see how are correct. Really 5PM to 4-5AM? Is that right? Not use to hours like that or what to expect as I am not looking for drunken business levels of people who missed the train.

Also is it really true you need a phone number for a lot of things in Taiwan? Was told to get a sim that does data and SMS for some places but that sounded weird to me.
