the 2nd 1. he say got urgent matter so cannot go. he burn his air ticket lo. hotel he haven pay but i will ask him to pay his share as well.
I will be going on monday and he inform me yesterday. really dam dulan.
lucky got 1 Taiwan friend there. if not sure dam sien.

i saw at Taichung... my tour guide brought us there... too bad had bad settings on my camera..mission to secretly snap the pics failed... he brought us to the stall with sexy clothings

so cheap meh boss? 2k for 4 ppl? WALAO

going taiwan very soon. read that taking cash from ATM there with PLUS or Cirrus network gives lower exchange rate compare to changing money at local money exchanger.

so i was thinking, is it feasible to maybe bring over NT for a day or 2 expenses, and look for ATM once i reach there?

Should be OK. but pls activate your atm for oversea withdrawal 1st. Otherwise you will be crying. Also bring xtra US$ incase of emmergency

how to activate? I also plan to do like that. Tomorrow I go change US$ first. My friend she already change 2.5k. I told her too much d since her other friend told her she only changed like 1.5k or lesser. maybe I just change from her then take US$? Taiwan accept credit cards right?

btw taiwan stuff very cheap ka?

yalo how to activate? call up bank and ask?

and why US$$ instead of NT$? wouldn't we save on exchange rate if we change directly to NT$ instead of changing to US$ and then go NT$.

He said US$ better rate due to the fact MYR less traded in taiwan and the rates here also not very good. Anyway cimb bank got plus?

Depending on Bank, If Maybank, just t=goto any Maybank ATM and activate it..There is an option on other services and thereafter to foreign witdrawal or something like dat & thereafter they will ask you to permanently activate it or temporary wth expiry date.. just follow the screen options

CIMB got ma?

Should be the same kua..just goto CIMB & try out

From what I enquire before, Maybank and CIMB ATM cards can be used to withdraw money in Taiwan. Public Bank atm card can't.

There are 3 ways to activate:

1. Call up the customer service as stated on your card. This might take long time as sometimes they busy, then they need to do verification. Will waste your phone credit if using HP to call...
2. You can set using e-banking service (maybank2u.com.my / cimbclicks.com.my). Fast and secure.
3. At ATM machine. But please do this if there are no people queue behind you else you'll make them wait long.

You have to set a time frame limit on when you wanna use it...from when to when.

Activated CIMB thru clicks
but couldn't find overseas withdrawal in maybank2u

I'm thinking of buying a local prepaid number over there, wonder how many telcos are there and which is the cheapest for calling back malaysia?
calling using digi prepaid would cost a fortune

Unless you really heavy user on voice services, I think it will be a waste. Instead of buying those card, easier to use Skype to call back. Much cheaper and I still having more than US$6 credit even after 3 yrs. haha..You can use the credit everywhere in the world rather than buying diff card in diff countries

please take note that each time you withdraw money from ATM, you'll incur a RM10 charges. So, please withdraw the right amount and don't withdraw too many times.

you can apply for Digital Tour Buddy for free if you are below 30 years old. call charges to malaysia for standard hours (Mon-Fri 08:00~23:00; Saturday 08:00~12:00) is NTD1.80/6secs.

the problem is i don't have access to computers (especially one with mic) or a phone with skype capability when i'm there

noted, thanks bro!

thanks for the good stuff before this I thought must apply 7 days before reaching, just saw the notice that on-site application is allowed also

EDIT: just realized going that 行政院青輔會台北市青年志工中心 is a fuss for my schedule. guess I'll look for random local prepaid there hopefully lucky get telco with cheaper rate to malaysia.
