QUOTE(crusher @ Jun 2 2013, 04:52 PM) I am reaching there same time as you too. Bought the AA ticket? On the side note, Taiwan got 6.6 earthquake today near tai chung Mine is 3rd July. But apparently in Taipei, the earthquake was a magnitude of 2, which can't be felt. Which hotel do you plan to stay since reaching so late? Hmm. And what transport?

QUOTE(bchan28 @ May 30 2013, 10:48 AM) Hi there, I stay in York just last week. Location wise it is very convenience and near MRT (Ximending exit 6 walk about 5 to 10 mins). I stay in room no 8 and I don't like it because the decoration is more toward black and dark purple (I prefer something simple and white). And it can be very noisy at night because it is at the centre of the city. Hope you enjoy your trip. thank you for the info.

QUOTE(jepertine90 @ May 13 2013, 01:24 PM) depends where you want to visit.. if you want to visit mountain and such.. best to have a local driver to bring you there because some place public transport can't be reached.. mind to list out where you want to visit? so we can easily guide you..  I am looking at surrounding Taipei, Hualein, AliShan & Kaohsiung. Might be missing some places though.
