Taiwanese working hour just like us, from 9am to 5pm. But most Taiwanese do stay at office until 6pm like that

hi all....just wan to share my calculation donno correct or not....i plan to change rm5000 to usd...i search at wawasan sentosa...refer we sell 3.17....so 5000/3.17 =1577.287
next is taiwan bank http://rate.bot.com.tw/Pages/Static/UIP003.en-US.htm...refer buying 29.905.....so if change all means 1577.287x29.905=47168-30nt fee
total=47138.....is tis correct? xD

Hi all,

Need a bit of advice....been reading thru the thread but still not sure if I should change ringgit to USD in KL and then change USD to Taiwan dollars in Taipei to get better rates? Current rates are like Rm11=$Taiwan 100 at local exchange.

Thanks,
Minolta

rm11 jor meh....where u check bro....wawasan midvalley? when u goin? ahhhh got 2 more assignment need finish only can an sim go play lol! gdnite bro

Wawasan already out of business since early Oct till now. So right now there is actually no online money changer rate references liao till wawasan get the licensing matter settled.

Anyway, from past experiences, changing to US$ 1st & thereafter to NT$ will save you ~ RM30 for every RM1000 converted to US comparing to direct conversion. If you willing to absorb this losses, just change direct.

And anothe rgood option is to withdraw from ATM. you will be charged ~ RM12 to (?) per transaction (Depending on banks)..and the rate is better than Money changers for sure.

Stimix,

Thank you for your superb info and eveything. Plan for my Honeymoon to Taiwan on January 2012. Any advise???. Very kan chiong...lol

Thanks in advance.

Don't make everyone panic. Taiwan and Malaysia and Singapore sharing the same time zone. The earliest you get the sunrise would be around 5am. In Malaysia, we usually get sunrise 6.30am~7.00am (in Penang).

Hi guys, will be going to taiwan on this coming year end december..just wondering if i should include taroko into our itinerary..i mean can we visit taroko in winter...and has anyone followed this bus tour thingy before??http://www2.taiwantourbus.com.tw//Schdule/Content/?id=99

I went to Taroko during winter but DIY.. i.e bought own train ticket & hire a day taxi there.

hi stimix..thx for your reply..i saw your itinerary in the forum for taroko..u said its one of your best day in taiwan..haha..how much u spent in total in taroko??inclusive of travel fees and food..because i will be focusing on northern taiwan mostly..so now still wondering if taroko is worth the time and money or not..because the travel time alone is 5h ++,and i will be there around 5H only oso(daytrip)..

Well I went there in a group of 4. If I refer to my earlier posting..the return train ticket ~ RM80/pax, hiring taxi - RM200/4 =RM50/pax & food very negligible-lah same like KL..~RM5/pax/lunch. So total = RM135/pax

In Taipei now. Arrived today. Weather is slightly chillly and drizzling. Gets dark by 6pm. Staying at Ximending tonite.

But unsure what to do tomorrow. Got a whole day but hotel booked at Taipei tomorrow night. So what would u guys recommend for a not-to-be-missed day trip for one day? Appreciate ur suggestions

just come bck from taipei ...ntg much actually..went to yehliu geopark(50 taipei dollar for adult), xiemanding for shopping and taipei 101...the weather is not that cold but just windy...

As it should be but i guess most West Malaysians are not really used to this because it only gets dark around 7pm in the whole Peninsular Malaysia

hey stimix..got a ques here..the train to taroko gorge..do we need to book online 1st or straight away buy there on the spot??/can get or not???thx bro..
