Money changers in airport accept most currencies.

If u wanna change SGD in Taipei city, u can do it at ShinKong Mitsukoshi (新光三越) of Taipei Main Station, just that the rate is kinda low.

Will take note .. Lower than in bank rate compare using cc to swap..??

yeh liu and jiufen is both different places. u can complete with public transport bus (need change bus) in one whole day. but it will be a bit rush and u need to plan ur time accordingly

i prefer to have the following:-

yeh liu + other places in taipei
jiufen/jinguashi/shifen

this is based on my research only. after my trip i can give more opinions tongue.gif
*
Yup.. U r rite .. Jz bek from Taiwan only ..


Jiu fen there is super jam n the road.. U need time to shop there at least 3hour also not enough.. Too many things to eat ..

Hey there..I hv Taiwan currency .. Those who wanna exchange can get from me.

I don't think u can request for seat number. It's auto allocated to u. Depends on ur luck lah, hope u get the seat on the left side. The seats are facing front.
The Taiwanese are very disciplined type. They sit according to their seat number, won't simply sit other ppl's place.
Last time I went, I got the seat on the left & hubby on the right. Lucky no one seating next to me so I ask hubby to sit lor.
Btw, even if u buy 2 tics online at the same time, the seat no. allocated to u could be different too. Not necessarily next to each other.
*
yeah true.. seat number no need to buy ..

they din check..

u need to try ur luck .. sometimes less passenger we can simply seat also no problem de ..

best is u go in last miinute then u can see ample of seat waiting for u to sit only .. tongue.gif

Hi hi,

Me now at Starvilla Cinjing. Good place, just went for watch star. The owner guide us to their roof top, using his laser pointer explain what start and how to see start. Lucky me today,  saw shooting star biggrin.gif . The owner quite friendly, you can go there and ask for those e-go bus arrangement, he will help to book and pay to him, no worry.

I book for a day trip from Taichung to SML, 3500 NT. I think is standard price. I sit on mazda 5 same as wish. But his car is ford not mazda, according to him. Ford and mazda same.
