Dun waste your money. Just use the wifi of the hotel you stay..

In the 1st place what is the reason you need to buy/sunscribe fro 3G/broadband there?

To surf, most hotels for sure having free wifi or wlan. If wanna call back, just top up US$10 in your skype and using skype to cal back using the free wifi there..Honestly if you say you wanna surf internet during travel...dun waste your time-lah.. You spend time admiring sceneries, ppl , food & shoppings and why borther surfing and miss out all attraction. You can surf using the free wifi/wlan in the hotel.. Choose a hotel providing this service

No need any maps lah.. U seldom using maps during travel wan. and if you're Taipei.. The most important maps is the subway maps not googlemaps haha/ Or get the free nokiamaps or look for free Garmin maps rather than spend unnecessary on 3G-Google maps

Haha, you are not the only one feeling the same thing..Me too feel the same 21C at CH/Genting is just like 18C in Taipei/temperate countries.. totally diff feeling..I also dunno why.. the wet/humid condition of CH/Genting probably giving more chill haha

Even the 15C, one of coldest nite in CH I expeirenced b4 can be ~ 10C feeling in temperate countries

Huh since when AA given 25KG? Even 15kg you also need to purchase dy haha.. I'm not sure whether those aerobus ppl know how to do drop=in. Nowadays, AA already using web-check-in. you just need to print-out your check-in voucher and drop-in your bag at the drop-in counter @ KCCT

Wait for AAX big sales.. now is small sales nia.. Big sales normally ~ RM300-RM500/pax but ~ 9mths to a year in advance.. Current small sales probably to fulfil some of the unocupy seats haha

Not so sure.. have to ask Unker Tony.. but from my past experience, should be ~ Nov (For travel from May till Nov) , Feb (For travel oct till Feb & ~ Jul/Aug (For travel ~ nxt yr Mar till Jul).. agak-agak only haha

Current sales from what I see just to fulfill empty seats bcos travel period so short..within 2 mths nia so dun expect cheap fare..

Otherwise go via Singapore using their newest SCOOT esp those from JB

Old US currency issue already posted on pg 1:

Yes DIY. very easy. Just follow prescribtion on 1st page & the hotels there too..If kenot find than only ask specific questions.. General questions dunno how to answer haha

I think the Govt there regulate the money changers and only available by banks. I did changed in local banks in Taipei.. very mafan.. lotsa red tapes even though no NT30 commission.. price also similar to those in the Airport. BTW, All airport money changers asl by the banks no individual private owned money changers there

Well, They probably won't charge as they know Taiwan electronics more expensive than M'sia haha. That will be double taxation dy..

Just check some of the electronics pricing in Taiwan:
- Panasonic 1hp aircon can be as high as RM2500 and a top loading washing machine RM1400 & Fridge RM2400... Almost double M'sia pricing haha
