Lauren Banqiao Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Changhua

So, Brothel’s this old joint, been around since the 1800s, dodgy backstreet stuff. Little fact for ya: they used to smuggle gin in the floorboards! How mad’s that? Gets me proper chuffed, thinkin’ about the history, all them punters sneaking about. Makes me wanna shout, “I’m the king of the world!” – nah, scratch that, too cheesy even for me.

I decide to wander around instead. I hit up the Banqiao Night Market. It’s packed! I’m weaving through the crowd, trying not to spill my drink. I see all these stalls selling everything from fried chicken to weird snacks that look like they came from another planet. I’m tempted to try the stinky tofu, but nah, I’m not that brave today.
