Skating a Wok-Shaped Bowl in a Taiwan Restaurant
Words by Josh Zickert
Taichung, Taiwan is a beautiful and fascinating city with a strong Japanese architectural influence. Stunning canals run through the entire city which holds a population of 2.8 million. Our good friend and host, Isun Chen, introduced us to Charly Costello who operates Wan Bon Bar and invited the entire crew to skate the bowl inside his high-end restaurant. Check the full playlist on TWS' YouTube.
After an all-day session in the streets, we arrived at this truly magical spot and spent the entire night skating the painted, wok-shaped bowl with new friends, eating delicious salads and an array of fish, beef and chicken kababs cooked to perfection with extra spicy sauces to dip in.
Eugenia, JJ, Bonestalone, Richie, Yiyo, JP, Leo and Caroline all clipped up tough. By the end of the session our filmer FIVE was lit and trying his best to hype up a group of non-skating locals at the restaurant to drop into the bowl. It was hilarious watching this scenario unfold. Fortunately no one was hurt and a lot of laughs were shared by all.

A huge shout out to Charly for the next level hospitality and the chefs for whipping up dish after dish throughout the evening. Charly skated the bowl hard with the crew and made this one of our most memorable nights in Taiwan. Episode 5 is a wild one!
