I did check the gocityinn hotel and their rate cheapest double room is nt 2600 wor, which is about RM 260 right? over my budget ler..

Good news... Jetstar airline is currently having sales until 23 Nov for travel period of July to Oct next year. I logged in for flight from S'pore to Taiwan (no KLIA to Taiwan) for only S$346 after including tax and surcharges.

any1 know bout the weather in early january or end of the year? pls kindly tell me ok?

I just came back from Taiwan two weeks ago, it's about 10-20 degrees.. end of this yr should be colder..

I went there during November end and the weather was ard 20 degrees in the afternoon and 16 degrees at night.
Should be colder in Dec and early Jan.
However, what you should be aware of is the cold front.
The thing that makes Taiwan really cold is the dry wind.
If you're unlucky and go there during the cold front ( which could be anytime in a week ), then it will be seriously cold.

when i was there, although it's only 10+ degree but it's not really that cold. A light jacket is enuf to keep me warm...

cold front? wow, luckily i nv encountered that...

I went there for 9 days and the first week was pretty ok.
Even though it was only 10+ degrees, felt really comfortable.
But my last night there was pretty bad coz the cold front came.
The wind that blew really chilled my bones

I just backed. Taipei at night is about 14degrees. Need to wear jacket because it is pretty windy. Morning is OK.

thanx for the info guys

omg, the weather will be colder in jan? aikksss...have to bring a lot of thick jackets adi..

Don't need those thick thick wool jackets lah
It won't snow. You will find entering the shopping mall a warmer choice

i brought one thick jacket with me but i never got the chance to wear it. hehe.. waste my space in my luggage lar..

I brought a normal jacket and used it almost everyday
Kinda regretted for not bringing another empty bag to stuff all the stuff I bought there.

i m following travel tour, looking at the itenary makes me worry that i have no chance to shop at all!!

Where does your tour bring you to ?
I followed tour too but I decided to extend for 2 days coz I wanted to shop around in Taipei

the itenary says the whole taiwan, it's a 9days 8nights trip yo..

I see I see.
My tour was whole island tour too, but 7 days only.

I did not follow tour and i went for 6D5N in taipei only..

shop ar? the things there quite expensive wor.. some more now winter, clothes also not ngam..

Really ?
I spent more than RM400 there on shopping in Taipei.
Some are cheap what, like the Wufenpu district

i went to wufenpu too, but all winter clothes, long sleeves.. can't find anything suitable.. hehe...

I see .... Mostly I bought CD's coz really cheap there compared to here
