and it did:
Rainbow
2/F No.142 Kunming St at Chengdu Rd (one block from Han Sauna and around the corner from Relax & Royal Spa), 2370-2899. The most popular gay sauna in town even though its an aging facility. No sign, but once you get to the address you can't miss the exterior and stair hallway plastered with rainbow flags and banners. Large bath and scrub area, steam, dark video room, reading and TV lounge. Lots of private cabins on the upstairs floors. Busy, big, and well-worn working-class type of place

There are a few saunas in Hsi Men Ding area -- one notorious one where a corpse was found only because it began to stink, the Rainbow which is young sticky rice, and the Office which is meant to be all ages, shapes and sizes.  I've only been to the Office, once, but that was a while back and on a very quiet weekday, so not much to say about it.  It would be great to hear from others who have had more experiences with local venues!

The 'poofs alley' in Hsi Men has  more customers this week than last time (despite the miserable rain), thus it would appear that word is getting round.  Cafe Dalida is still very charming -- about 40% foreigners and 60% cute lads.  Lots more cute puppies in the bear bars -- a very good sign!

In other words, a dump.

Don't expect to find a Babylon in Taipei.  The saunas there are of somewhat different quality.
