alright ~~ thx a lot ~~

i just check the weather report @@~ seems like everyday also rain during cny faint.....

Weather not bad. Some places I went the sun was out and bright like Malaysia.
The only time it rained was on one night. And it was just a mere drizzle. Few drops dropped and it's back to normal.
Cold or not I can say not very cold. Melbourne was colder.

Sales? Night market consider sales or not? Lol.

>.<~~ haha~~ okok thanks ya~~

Does a travel adapter adequate for charging purpose? As I know the plug is slightly different

Yes you need a travel adaptor. Taiwan really having odd plug..just check pg1 for taiwan plug

Taiwan power quite low one. For those slightly higher demanding devices you have to find those 3 pin ports. I had to charge my camera in the toilet (using the shavers port) cause the room one not strong enough. Maybe I should have used to tv plug instead. Haha

Does those hotels provide adapter to the hotel guests?

Depending on hotel. Last time, I stayed at Taipei Hostel. We shared the adater with all other guests from all over the world at the small lobby & kitchen so many notebooks & h/phones every nite there haha

some do and may charge a small fee.

Taiwanese were surprisingly helpful and friendly. All of the hotels I been to during my trip have either 3pins slot or lend you the adapter for free if they have extra.

I think you better bring along those expansion along as there arent many slot to charge them at some hotels. I remember having to charge my iPad, S2, Nokia N8, camera and my sister's camera + iPhone when we were triple sharing.

the hotels that i went do provide the adapters and they charge a NTD100 deposit which will be refunded when you return the adapters

ok i confirm going taiwan at july liao~~

time to read first page.

4th day in Taiwan. Did went Taoyuan > Taichung > Cingjing > Kaohsiung(current).

Night market was so packed of China visitors. Need to push all the way

hi, anyone stayed before at Rothenburg Lodge in Yilan? I'm going there in May and trying to book the place. however they do not have a booking system and booking is done via email only. They've asked to wire a deposit of NT2000 via paypal to secure the room. Is it ok to do that?

My partner is smitten by the place and is insisting of staying there. Wanna check with frequent travellers here how is the place like..

Hi,

I also planned to stay there in mid feb.
already paid the NT2000 via paypal.

hi angelgemini, do let me know how the place is like.. how many days are you spending in Yilan? already paid and book for early may. Staying there for 2 days.

I only staying there for 1 night.
cause i choose 2 night in hualien and 1 night in 9fen.

hmm.. is staying 2 nights in Yilan too much? Will most likely reach yilan around late noon time (3-4 pm).

Btw, are there any 3g prepaid sim with data packages? like 7 days data for xxx amount of money? Most i see charges by packets or kb which can run out of control. My iphone will pretty much be my guide and lifesaver there thus without 3g, i'll be dead.. Paying RM 36 a day to Digi for the unlimited data roaming is a little to much for 6 days...
