i might continue my degree on hotel management at taiwan.any suggestion or comment?how about currency the money?1 more, my chinese language very noob.mostly i cant read & talk.

you must be " CRAZY" to study hotel management ... what is your goal ??? .. working in rumah tumpangan Ah Meng !!!
,,,,, for your infor .. taiwan degree in hotel management in Only "VALID " in taiwan ...

unless you are going to migrate to Taiwan .. otherwise .. you are wasting your life in taiwan to study this degree...

its that bad?thx.i think need think back.thx.

"valid" is only for government , u may work in hotel which is private co. and nothing to "valid" . Experience is important other than degree paper. exchange rate is 1RM=NT9+ , i wonder how u communicate/study in Taiwan if ur chinese is even worse than primary school level. In general , most of university books in taiwan are in english but teaching mostly always in chinese.

guys... where to get cheap electronic in taiwan? some electronics gadget?

are they cheap..? cos i heard they are la.. besides the very best of food there....

I checked d.. if dec, cheapest include tax about Rm 2K, if january, then about 1.4k only.. january is consider winter is it? that is why cheaper?

i think is bcoz they raise d price during xmas and new year period. d price will b lower after that, but will raise it back during CNY...

I've short listen two hotels, TS & Rainbow, anybody stayed at these two hotels before? which one is better?

I know TS range is about Rm 180 per night, anybody know wat's the rate like for rainbow hotel?

try gocityinn hotel....opposite taipei railway station. Per nite RM150 only.
