The first time I went to Korner in , with a group of strangers from a school gathering, I drank so much that I ended up falling down a set of stairs and knocking out a tooth. I had to have a dental implant, which meant drilling a screw into where my tooth had been, and screwing in a fake tooth. Bad things tend to happen to me when I go partying. For the past two and a half months my left knee has been wonky, after a friend of mine tried to jump out of a moving car on a highway while we were heading back from a queer art party in a taxi; I twisted my knee grabbing her as she was rolling out of the car. But I discovered the underground electronic music scene in Taipei as a result, so maybe the injuries were worth it.

Definitely quite open-minded, even for Western standards! Just to be clear, I went to Korner on a regular co-ed, techno night. YR and I went on a rainy, cold Saturday night in January. Korner is in a basement inside of a commercial building in the Gong Guan area, away from the typical Xin-Yi nightlife area of Taipei. First impressions of the club surprised me. It definitely had a Berlin-esque vibe — grungy, no frills, industrial, and full of smoke. In Europe, people all dance a certain way and interact a certain way since techno is very much part of their culture and DNA.
