hi guys
I ll be going Taiwan next month
and been checking out on currency exchange
understand that the best is to change myr to USD then from USD to ntd at taoyuan airport

i ve two questions
- the USD had been strengthening against the myr past weeks
will it be better to change myr to ntd here instead?

-this is on money changer. I read the thread on currency exchange which states that there are lotsa good ones at bb plaza. I went there yesterday to check the rate. most are selling at the standard 10.8 rate
however there was one that stood out, with a pink signboard i think. it was selling at 9.25 

have any of u came across a money changer offering exceptionally good rate at bb plaza? I'm wondering if it is dodgy....cos it seems pretty good

hey guys
going tw next month
any idea what time do the shops in xmd n shida night market close? those selling streetwear clothes

thanks
just wanted to clarify
cos eventho the night markets close past midnight, I'm not sure abt the shops along the night market..

I see
I will be going on weekdays
guess I have to time it earlier

be extra careful when booking via agoda
the rate they quote even if u select 3 nights, is actually per night price
u might wanna google 'agoda scams' before u book
not to say they are untrustworthy(my only experience with them I was cheated to pay but they refunded without much explanation...almost feels like the customer service staff are used to these cases)-in fact have come across satisfied customers
but what im saying is just be careful in every step of making the booking

again, do a lil bit of checking online esp in travel forums to validate that

from what I gather, yes they accept but u will be charged ntf100 or ntd200 for every USD100

lol I'm only going there next month but came across this info online
