Anyone knows what are the freebies offered by the Malaysia Taiwan Visitor's Association currently?

I remembered we can mail our flight tickets to them & in return they'll give us some freebies and brochures in return...

Yes, u can claim yr freebies from the Malaysia Taiwan Visitor's Association... But I not sure about what is their freebies as it different from times to times... You only claim when you haven't fly to taiwan..

Hi guys,I am going to Taiwan for a week on 24th.Still havent book any hotel or homestay.Kinda lost here about what needs to be done since it's my first time to travel overseas.

My fren recommended me a good homestay here:http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/fatimaqhome/ (RM160 per night for 1 room with 2 double size bed) I sent them email but no reply so far so I guess have to find alternative.

Any recommendation?Price need to be as low as possible  laugh.gif

And then any advice that I should take note?Once again I am a newbie  laugh.gif

Hi,

I will be going Taiwan his 23th and for a week..... Perhaps u can try Wonstar songshan outlet...... Try book online.... As u can consider that last minutes and mostly all no much room.... Or perhaps fun Taipei backpack....

Have you checked Agoda.com?
Let me share with you guys a trick i use all the time. Check Agoda or tripadvisor for the hotel/room you want.
DONT BUY IT FIRST.
Call the hotel, tell them you saw this offer here, is there anything they can offer for cheaper?
70% of the time they will give you a slightly cheaper/better deal.

Btw do share your experience. Not so much info for banana to go Taiwan.
Kinda nervous on going alone.. tongue.gif
*
I have booked my hotels ald n now planning for itinerary..... I book directly from the hotel as my hotel didn't show at agoda.com or tripadvisor..... Are you going alone to taiwan? Actually no worries as long as u know speak mandarin or hokkien dialect.... Ubcan survive there....

Yes it's possible if you do not do all the hiking trails. If you have no scooter licence then it's better not to do it.

Jiu fen doesn't require a day but since you are already there might as visit other places nearby.

got any recommend place to visit nearby jiufen?

hi guys,

Planning a day trip to both JiuFen and ShiFen, anyone did both in a day?
I am debating whether to head to ShiFen first or to JiuFen first.?

If i head out early, what time does most shops open in Shifen & JiuFen?
*
I tried before do Yehliu and Jiufen together in a day.... It won't so tiring but after Jiufen, u will become very tired and fall asleep in the bus...
