If you didn’t know before, Taiwan has many places where you can go, rent a fishing pole and catch some prawns for dinner. I have been to a few indoor ones, and they are basically a small swimming pool with murky water and they toss buckets of big prawns into them for you to catch. After your time is up, you take your prawns and barbecue them on site for a good meal. They have other food there too, so you can order more if you are hungry.

We are organizing a tournament in Tainan (map below) and hope to get 20 people to go. If we do, the price will be NT 200 for 2 hours (and an additional NT 100 for any other hours). If it is less than 20 people the price will go up to NT 250 for 2 hours. The tournament will go for 2 hours, but if you’d like to get there early and practice up a bit it is cool.
