Don't Speak Juice Bar 28, Renai Rd., Chiayi City Hours: 10 am-10 pm No telephone

        Any street stand juice bar that calls itself "Don't Speak" has to be worth visiting, just for the fun of it, and in Chiayi, the popular open-air shop on Renai Road already has a loyal clientele. Located across the street from one of Chiayi's main movie theater complex, and a two-minute walk from the train station, "Don't Speak" serves a long list of beverages that make summer much more tolerable, from papaya and watermelon smoothies to several varieties of ice tea and coffee. Owner Sandy Huang says the name of her shop just came to her one day as a kind of a joke, but when she told her friends about it, they all said she should use it. So she did. At "Don't Speak," of course, there are no rules against talking. Speak up and order a refreshing drink! --By Dan Bloom
