Dear All,

I'm heading to Taiwan via Cathay Pacific end of this year, will be stop over at HK International Airport for transit.

Well, I had a couple of question here:

How's is Cathay Pacific Airline? Is their economy class seat good? I m heard many bad review bout it. Going for the round trip wonder is there on-board entertainment?!

How is HK International Airport? Many shop to walk around? Since I m going there for transit, tat means i had a couple hours to spend?

Any budget clean hotel to recommend to stay in Taipei? Near ximending or shilin or MRT station? Going there for about 9days.

Exchange MYR to USD first only then change to NT in Taoyuan airport for better rate? feel like paying double commision?!

Please do advice me. Thanks!

Well, thanks for the response to all...

For Cathay Pacific, i heard bad review bout their seat and minor on cabin crew attitude: many reviews here :

Well, for taiwan hostel/hotel, too many until I m dunno where should I m start to find. Wonder is there any local tour going on?!

Heading to Taiwan end of the year... Going for 8days...

Any budget hotel you all would reccomend? 2 person ... Prefer those nearby MRT or any tourist spot or night market area ... Budget around RM150/night.. any suggestion?

How cheap generally the clothe price can go in Wufenpu?

Heading there in January, will there have many big sales? Is it advisable to go at January?

Looking for budget hotels in this area: 台北市八德路四段
Any nice, decent, cheap hotel suggestion? Need to stay there about 3 or 4 nights next year Jan 2012. Not sure whether its a gud time to visit taiwan anot?!

Budget less than RM150 per night!
I check temperature in d past around Jan would be +/- 17'C. Correct me if wrong!? Starting feb would be rainy season i guess...
I email BestHotel, no reply since last week. Wonder any other hotel would you suggest for 2 pax?

Any hotel suggestion? Or any of you had try some nearby? I've been through many site of the information regarding the hotels but due to limited pictures, it cause me bit hard to decide which one is better?!

Well, yes it was cold. The temperature shows around 17'C, roughly like Genting Highlands at night. But if the wind consistently blow at u at lower temp, soon or later its may freeze u up... So i m guess a jacket, long sleeve, scarf, socks, glove shud be sufficient ...

How long you heading there?

Yeah... Its cheaper! Cheaper rate I bought was at NT35 for scarf. But this price way back around 2009. But Can you last/tahan that long until you buy it at Taiwan?

Wondering what time shopping complex/night market in Taiwan close? Since their sunset around 5:30pm, so i m assume its "evening period" around 4pm, closed same time with us 10pm?

Also wondering what time they usually wake up, eg work n so on!?

I planned flying Taiwan next month. which totaled up about 8days. Arrived at TPE at 1st day night!

Planned to bring around RM2.5k to spend there excluding flights and accomodation. Do u think thats enough for 2 pax? for the first 3 days, most of the activities already expenses paid except meals.

Wonder any where got low exchange rate? Don think wawasan open yet. Gotta watch for better rate as I heading to taiwan next month...

Need advice guys!

Hi guys!

Im little bit confuse, just pay a visit to KL TW Association, they claim the TW Tour buddy can be use for iPhone 4. But when I check their NYC/TW Net website, they claimed cannot b use for iPhone.

Juz applied via the portal. And also give NYC a call, find out they dont do on-the-spot registration anymore for Tour Buddy and 3G Sim Card. Have to apply 7days before the departure and forget to ask bout iPhone 3G sim card can use or not?! Anyone can clarify this?

And few more gifts from TW gov.
Go to Taiwan Association Kuala Lumpur and redeem your following gifts:
- Night Market Voucher
- National Museum (故宫) entrance ticket
- Free Round Trip Railway Ticket (Taipei - Fu Long) - Jiu Fen Trip!
Do bring a copy of your printed air flight ticket's receipt/letter to claim these voucher before your departure to Taiwan!

Go grab it today la... They closing at 5.30pm
Do give them a call before you go!
