		Old retired servicemen of various sexual orientations known in Chinese as 怪叔叔 or 怪爺爺 (pinyin: guài shùshu or guài yéyé, literally strange uncle or strange grandfather) are reputed to frequent some of the fast food restaurants and coffee houses in Ximending, trying to solicit sex from people or among themselves.
		Their original favorite meeting place was the Ximending McDonalds, but when McDonalds relocated to a nearby location within Ximending, these people scattered to other parts of the area.

		The Taipei Times had a piece on Ximending, which sounds like either the kind of place I'd want to live in, or one of those places that 5 years ago was fun and is now full of suburban tourists.
		In a small area of Ximending bounded by cinemas, the Danshui River and a strip of karaoke bars and hotels, are lanes and alleys that cater to hip-hop crews and consumers of Asian fashion.
		Though papers reported gangland street fights over drugs a few years back, Ximending is now heavily patrolled and has a lot of closed circuit TV cameras mounted on streetlamps.

	Chen vows to tackle ethnic conflict (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		At a meeting with about 130 members of 44 university and college student clubs from around the country, Chen said he was planning an "ethnic and culture development conference" to work toward a completely equal ethnic environment.
		The Presidential Office had arranged a dialogue forum at the Red House Theater in Taipei's Ximending area on Monday in response to a demand by the students who staged a sit-in at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial last week.
		Because the student protesters refused to attend the dialogue, claiming that it was just a trick by Chen to win them over, members of college clubs were invited in their place.

		Located in Ximending, a mecca for local youth, the plain shop attracts droves of customers looking for a pair of vintage shoes.
		The shop was founded by Chen's grandfather in Shanghai in 1936, later relocating along with the Nationalist government when it retreated to Taiwan in 1949.
		As the name suggests, the shoes are made entirely out of fabric, soles as well as uppers, stitched together with hemp thread.

		With the exception of Ximending, I can only think of one new apartment complex (still being promoted) as compared to the several under construction in Daan District at any one time.
		I think the gritty work is being done pretty slowly, maybe without too much fanfare, but we certainly notice the pedestrian area around Ximending and the new movie park that is set to open shortly close by.
		It seems that all the development - Ximending, Dali Jie, Longshan Temple, around Snake Alley and Guilin Jie - is all in the Northern Half of Wanhua - North of Banka Boulevard.

		Starting off with a punk-goth sensibility they have evolved a manga comic/skateboard dude/graffiti-inspired line of clothes that is locally-made and has quality and cachet.
		Since the basic street uniform is the same (jeans-and-top) the aim is to be different within these parameters.
		The Japanese cosplay image is the new goth look for many young Taiwanese girls in Ximending, who shop till they drop to coordinate their striped tights, frills and accessories.

		In Taipei, you only have to take a walk down the avenues of fashion on Zhongxiao East Road and in Ximending to see that baggy pants, hip-hop hats and heavy chains are the order of the day.
		The writing is on the wall for dance music, in Ximending, Taipei, as hip hop, baggy pants and graffiti takes over.
		Also, hip hop is not tainted by drugs in the same way that dance music is. Government agencies court the youth vote with hip hop ads and studios promote hip hop dancing.

		The Ximending district of Taipei is where wild fashion experimentation gets truly out of control; this neighbourhood competes with Tokyo’s Harajuku as an epicentre of outrageous style.
		I pity those poor professional cool hunters, probing all this teenage weirdness and trying to transform it into something mainstream.
		As we enter the back alleys of Ximending, the energy intensifies like a bottleneck.

		Location wise, its not exactly fantastic, a short 5-10mins walk from the nearest Jie-yun (train station, kinda like the MRT in spore) but the bus stop in front of the Da Tong university offers plenty buses plying the various streets of taipei; to Ximending, Shilin night market, Taipei main station, etc..
		And its great to take a bus back, as it really is the cheaper alternative (as compared to the Jie yun).
		The Empress has clean, neat rooms and is never too rowdy (much quieter than the hotels found in the Ximending area).
