thanks Mandy

so many shoes.. how u bring it back? Check in the custom will not say anything?

haha.. same, we going this June 6 person, and all the guys all banana while the girls know chinese. LOL

yea, i also banana. when reach Taiwan, i feel language shock! almost all signboards also in chinese esp road name.

but public transport all comes with english name so no worries.

if u leave me alone in Taiwan i feel i can survive, coz their public transport all well equipped with English and the locals are so so friendly!

Aiayh, if banana but can speak Hokkien or even abit of mandarin or canton also can already-lah..Me too banana..but can speak in Hokkien & madarin..so communication is not a problem..can ask mah..Their Mandarin also similar to M'sian tone not like those Northern Chinese singing tone mandarin

lol..we bought a red white blue bag to put our shoes
or u just give up your boxes, only bring back ur shoes..that will do..

and on the custom side, we check in together with our big luggage and thy wont charge us as long as we didn't overweight..
and when we reach LCCT, there is no any pegawai there check out luggage..we just walk out only

*addon: some Taiwanese english is good! and no worry...when you are reaching every MRT station they will have chinese, hokkien, hakka, and english translator.
