Welcome to Taiwan V2 thread..

i not think he will go for cathay too.. since there is a stop at HK..

First of all, u need to get the international driving license..

Btw how many people are going? if just 2 of you, i not think driving is good idea.. some more not familiar with the surrounding n road condition, better strict to hiring a driver + car if money not a problem for u..

My hostel charge NTD1,000 for 1 to 4 person per cab.. i think it is the standard price..

during my research, i got see some charged for NTD900+

During payment time, u r using credit card or direct debit? if direct debit, ur statement might show out ur booking no..

Another method, try use back the email address u used during booking n create account with AA.. hope that they got record down based on ur email address

I found this

Maybe u can try consider.. look like more cheaper now

Ok, now login to you public bank portal/website and check on the description for your payment to AA.. like mine, i am used Hong Leong bank n in my payment description it does stated my booking no.. thus, if yours r the same as mine, then u got the booking no n can proceed to update your details n etc in AA's page..

i think u better go with register ur email address u used during ur booking with AA now

How is the price in that cafe? Reasonable?

it's correct as mentioned by jlgoh9.. u can pay by credit card via the paypal site, i done it.. between u may direct contact Kevin n do the booking.. it's the same process u go thru other booking website.. n a good point is Kevin can give a little bit of discount

Make sure u inform Kevin in advance abt ur late arrival..

Yes, just direct email him.. he will send you the payment instruction for deposit via paypal once you confirm to stay with them

PM me if you need his email address

do you tell him you recommended by other?

Anyone can suggest what MUST buy things in taiwan? Pineapple cake? what else?

While prepare the list of items to bring over to Taiwan, suddenly I thinking I should list out what I should bring back from Taiwan too..

Ah.. thanks.. noted in my list


Ya, many of my relatives told us about that.. and ask us dont buy anything from taiwan

What is sun cake? noted in my list to Jiufen..

A few of my family members too scare for taiwan food now.. so i think i wont buy much.. maybe a little bit for my own n colleagues only.. what a good timing

Whole morning trying to book my train to Hualien but no luck for my initial desired date (25th June).. the ticket really sold like hot cake.. some advise to traveler planning to go Taroko/Hualien, plz book n pay ur ticket exactly 2 weeks in advance from your depart date.. n steal it like no tomorrow..

the ticket can be cancel n refund but with some handling fee

Err.. no idea for other places..

Even friday n monday oso no luck.. for monday, i still can get hold of early morning train, but return ticket it schedule me to 9pm+ n when reaching Taipei ady midnight n next day hv to rushing packing n back to malaysia.. so now still thinking wanna go Taroko or not..

For a day trip? It's impossible right?

Well, i manage to grab the train ticket for friday..

Yup, since i plan to visit to Taroko Gorge only n few hours there should be enough.. n nothing much else over the Hualien n surrounding so planned for a day trip only..

Read ur latest blog, Cingjing is definite worth to visit.. maybe next time for me.. transfer here n there is tiring

I am back

well, really fun and nice trip.. but tiring.. walking, walking and walking only..

Taiwanese are just so nice and friendly really need to give them a big big and they are discipline too compare to us.. and please learn to pronounce the chinese words before going there (for banana like me ).. most of them not really understand English, or I should say they very seldom use it, so when you speak the English term they will like "what!!??" expression in their face.. i got this experience when i went to 7eleven to purchase the Easy Card..

During my trip, there is typhoon coming in.. scare me out but lucky that it didnt directly "attack" the land.. just whole day raining and windy..

During my tour at Hualien, met a nice taxi uncle.. he treat us like his son/daughter.. even bring us to back to his "hometown" for a short visit and a lot of story sharing.. do let me know if you need this nice taxi uncle contact no.

aiyume,

MUST try the restaurant opposite the Fun Taipei Backpackers hostel.. it's delicious..
