First of all, I'm Taiwanese, not Chinese. I do not grow and live in any province of China. Please respect that. CS doesn’t respond to my complaint.

Huei-Tsung is hard to pronounce for some people, and Huei is not my middle name 😂 Huei-Tsung is my given name, or you can just call me Panda.

◩
Outliner in Taiwanese mainstream culture.

1 year working in Taroko national park, 8.5 years working in indie bookstore. Learn to be a full time trader now. Therefore, I’m self-working in day time at home, and super busy in weekdays.

◪
Coffee in the morning. Beer at night. Love to meet new friends, to discuss various subjects, cultural, political, economical, sociological subjects, and to learn from different perspectives and cultures.

◩
Believe the meaning of travel is to meet people.

◪ Room Conditions
A couch or mattress on fake Japanese style wooden platform, both in public space. The couch is super comfy I sleep on it sometime. The platform is rather spacious. A shared toilet in my flat. A flatmate with cat which will only stay in the room.

◪ To Surfers
I'm super busy working in weekdays, and not always available for CS, depends on my energy status. Even if you surf at mine, it's very possible that we'll only hang out in my free time, therefore, if you plan to stay in, you shall be aware of possibilities of exploring city on your own. Normally, I have more free time on weekend, but I personally don’t see any tourism value of this city, depends on your purpose of traveling, otherwise, I’ll recommend you to spend more time at other cities or towns honestly.

I would truly love to share my life and engage in more with surfers, as we can discuss this matter anytime while you're surfing at mine. However, I won't guarantee any touring around and/or spending time together all day, but I'm open to options. And I'm most likely unavailable in weekdays as I mentioned previously.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Couchsurfing is an ideal way to meet new friends from other cultures, wherever I go or stay.

Postpunk, postrock, and shoegazing are my favorite, but I enjoy all genres of rock n roll. Thousands of bands I love, mostly 60s-90s. Placebo, Patti Smith, David Bowie, Nirvana, Cat Power, Arcade Fire, Slowdive, The Clash, Blur, Joy Division, etc. Taiwanese bands are not listed, I'm just lazy.

So according to Spotify, top 5 of my favorite genres are now: compositional ambient, trip hop, instrumental post rock, art pop, indie soul. Good to learn myself by machine 🤪
