Dey, I always go taiwan alone..
The people there are ultra friendly.
But I don't go there for vacation though..

day got day syok, night got night syok.
during summer most syok.

taipei pinang girls very seldom wear liddat.
i heard kaoshiung one is the most daring.

And the people there are friendlier lot than we are in M'sia.

aha, when i first went there last time, the cashier wanted to tell me something, after saying to the same like 10 times but still I couldn't get it, she just gave up.

One meat and 3 or 4 vege/side dish is a very common combination for 便当 over there.
I just like to sneak into the corporate canteen for lunch, can get 便当 for like 40 or 50 twd only.

I was at LCCT too! But was sending someone off.

i get aax premium at approx myr 1400 before. that's the cheapest for aax premium i can see so far.

I'll never take MAS to Taipei.. NEVER!
Everytime it will be like either China Airlines or Eva Air, if not then Air Asia.

And most of the food around XMD sucks. Well, that's just my personal taste.

very cheap. last time i took s-class from airport - ntd 1100.

Starting October, Taipei will become colder.
Typically the weather is the hottest around July.

Deduct hotels and transport, basic necessities should not be more than TWD 5k.
I tried 10 days/9 nights in Taipei, spent less than TWD 3k on eating.

Nowadays I go TW also directly withdraw from ATM or use CC to do cash advance.

Night markets in TW is just very common, apart from XMD or ShihLin, there are plenty of other small night markets.

Wish I can go TW one day for vacation instead of work.

depends on weekday or weekend. on weekday, after 11 pm or 12 am, it's like nothing more.

their cabs is a bit expensive.. movie is even more expensive..

Taking bus is so much economical.

Just pretend to be kinda lost in the airport, some guy will always approach us to offer cab.

Took the combo with salty popcorn and drinks, total up about TWD 1k per person.
No wonder their cinema is quite empty all the time...
I'm truly grateful that our GSC is so affordable, and for the popcorn that taste better.

Almost everything in Taiwan is either more expensive or comparable to M'sia price only.
The only things make it worthwhile to go Taiwan is the scenery, the friendly people, the weather and also the variety of food.

Added on October 31, 2011, 6:56 pmWhen you add in shopping, it is a very subjective word... could be anything from TWD 1k to TWD 10k..
Personally, for 5D4N, I could spend less than TWD 2k for myself only, inclusive of food, without shopping, without taking cabs for long distance and travel by bus/rail only.
Usually I'll just change USD100 at the airport.

starting price is still twd 70 when i was there last year.
most of their taxi will use meter la, i spent more than 30 days in taiwan last year, taking taxi everyday, none of them never use meter before.
furthermore some of them will have discount after travel for certain distance.
and their taxi so much better than m'sia, toyota wish, camry, corolla.

food in taiwan, not all are nice, but the majority of those which i tried are quite nice.
but i'm not a fussy person, especially with food.
