QUOTE(victor1985 @ Feb 19 2011, 04:27 AM) Hi Guys, My passport expired on Oct 28th 2011 and i'm planning to go to taiwan on april 14th, with the 6 months rule to enter Taiwan, am i eligible to enter? If i want to renew my passport, can i do that like 7 months before it expired?  It's better to renew your passport to save the hassle. Renewal only takes 2 hours max.

Dan Shui is consider part of Taipei surburban area bcos reacheable by MRT till the red MRT station as per your link. There are more attraction outside of Taipei & its surrounding suburban areas to explore if having more times. esp she/he mentioned more than 10 days! If I have such a long time..I will plan going to Huelien - Taroko Gorge, Taitung, Kaoshiung, Sun Moon Lake, Alishan, Taichung- hehuan Shan & back to Taipei. For me Danshui is abit over-rated. just the old town wth lotsa pasar malam food & souvenirs. & the river walk. I din goto the famous bridge bcos I over-estimate the walking distance from the train station...Well abit far actualy & need taxi to go there. QUOTE(@lice~~ @ Feb 22 2011, 11:19 AM)

If you dun mind the RM30 differences for every TW$1000, then just direct trf-lah...lotsa discussion on this much earlier in the thread RM is not well traded here in KL & so do in TW. So the best if dunwan to lost RM30 for each NT$1000, change 1st to SU$, S$ 1st & thereafter to NT$ QUOTE(@lice~~ @ Feb 25 2011, 05:20 PM) Is the different a lot? from direct MY to TWD and SGD/HKD to TWD..
