That's like bounding up, beaming at the waitress and shouting "Free soup?!?" at her! To be a little more polite, you might want to try, "soopu wa hooka MAH lay-tay eemas ka?" "Might the soup be included?" Soup comes with the drink bar (which you have to pay for).

I don't exactly remember the name of the hotel I stayed in. But I can tell you it was a 2 star hotel located on a little street in Ximending. Not the most luxurious but comfortable to sleep in. I wouldn't recommend going below 2 stars. Anything above 2 stars is acceptable in Taiwan. Having said that, you can find lots of inexpensive options in Ximending, an area which is a viable option for lodging. It's central, there is a plethora of street eats, shopping, as well as bars and clubs. Hope this helps. Have fun on the trip! Hi Bao,
