Just make a trip to CH.. If strong windy night + rain temperature ~15C and sometime ~ 13C. Normal day temp @ CH is 19c (Rain) and ~ 23-24C day time. Same like current Taipei weather.

If I pre-purchase the HSR ticket but miss the train, can I board the next train or any available train?

It seems to be OK to do so according to their site but I wish to get some feedback here as well smile.gif

technically yes if your tickets still allows you to go pass the gates.

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 biggrin.gif ) 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$385 or RM38.50 for every RM1k you change to US$ smile.gif
