QUOTE(Kyl3 @ Feb 25 2013, 03:50 PM) OK thanks, guess I'll pre-purchase the tickets then. Haven't been up so high.. Common sense will tell you at >3000M, better prepare something dy What about hehuanshan and cingjing area on April, need a thicker jacket? Furthermore, CH is just 1600M at the Kea Farm area, and temp already 10C lower than KL during day time... so imagine if 3000M ..... |

QUOTE(skydrake @ Feb 26 2013, 04:23 PM) i saw u r not the only 1 telling this.. how do we calculate it actually? can u enlighten me? and at the same time some said genting is the best place to exchange. Not sure where is this Genting Money Exchange located. Anyway, I have explained many many times in this thread but since you insist, I explained again.. However the real gain you getting is minimal ~ RM30 saving for every RM1000 you change. As you can see..from Bank Negara rate Today, NT$ selling at RM10.497 http://www.bnm.gov.my/index.php?tpl=exchangerates That's the best rate BNM//and according to the earlier guy, he is getting RM10.89. The diff between BNM & money changer already RM0.40 for every NT100 you change. Meaning NT$ is not well traded here. (Anyway, you can get cheaper rate from Mid Valley at RM10.75 Today ) link also on 1st pg.If you change to US$ let say RM1000 at 3.08 today, you wil get US$324. Similarly if you change to NT$ at 10.75, you will be getting NT$9,112 Today. If you change the US$324 at Tauyuen airport, you will be getting NT9,506 -NT$30 charge or NT$9,497 . This is better than you change similar amt in M'sia and getting only NT$9,112. You get extra NT$385 or RM38.50 for every RM1k you change to US$ |
