i just back from taiwan at 28 feb. the weather is good...slightly cooler than genting..no worries..1 jacket will do


er.that day i saw Tao Yuan airport do accept RM.. but banks and money changer in taipei do not accept. In fact. the exchange rates in the airport is cheaper..

Eh Are you sure the RM rate at the airport so good? If RM10.2 this is much better than Bank Negara & market rate dy

Anyway the realtime rate now qouted by Bank of Taiwan: http://rate.bot.com.tw/Pages/Static/UIP003.en-US.htm

is 8.24 buy & 10.37n selling.. That's worst than Money changer in m'sia wor...You probably saw 10.2 selling kua? meaning they are selling NT$100 for RM10.2 at that time and buying your RM1 for NT$8.24? don't confuse hor

yaya..i mean thy selling NT100 for RM10.2
but in msia....i change NT100 for RM10.7

whats the price for a pair of shoes?

But in Malaysia right now, Wawasan is buying back NT$100 for RM10.50 http://wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.asp and if you say you got it for RM10.70 by converting back NT100 to RM10.70..That's very good rate & much better than Taoyuan airport also what..only offering to buy back NT$100 for 10.20.

If on the other hand, converting RM100 direct to N$ here @10.66 as per Today rate, you will be getting NT938. I fyou change your RM100 in Tauyuan, you will be getting only NT$824 minus NT$30 commission wor

Plz tell us where u brought all ur items..

A lot of hotels, where you can get a lower rate when you get a local to book for you.

Long time ago, I stayed in a decent hotel in Nei Hu area, it is only approx MYR 160 ~ MYR 170 a night.

Recently, I stayed in Ban Qiao area, the published price is NTD 2560 per night, but when our local partner went to pay for us, it is only NTD 1760 per night. After further negotiation, it became NTD 1560.

The nice thing about Taipei hotel is that, most of them have free Internet!

and where can we get a local to book for us..

i bought 1 adidas stan smith 2 shoe for RM100 per pair... and nike lunarlon for RM220

en....ya ah??confusing @@ whatever it is, to be safe, exchange NT before u travel there as all of us know RM has no value

there are hundreds or thousands of nike/adidas shops in taipei alone..if u wan to buy sports shoe, u can go 高雄 新崛江商圈, it's near to MRT station, 中央公园站
if you are in taipei, u can go 西门町 to shop.
Onitzuka tiger is selling less than RM300 there :-D

for the longchamp bag, it is inside tao yuan international airport. near Zon D. my advice is, depart from ur hotel to airport earlier and line up to wait for the check in counter open, be the first to check in and go to those duty free shops to buy ur things...inside is HUGE!!!!!!!!!!! and since it's duty free, of caz the price are cheaper than msia.!! COACH GUCCI shops all available

English please

Well, me n my bf r banana.. n we r going there free and easy.. u think we can survive there?

i think u can survive la.... just tat u need ask people around lolz.... but so far their major transport oso got eng wording....
