hi all,
heard motel in Taichung is good?
any good recommendation? preferably around feng jia night market? would like to try. hehe..

thanks!

work or leisure? 

anyone can help on this? ty

Why is airasia ticket price not dropping.... Anyway the total amount of airasia include tax right? what extra charges do i still need to pay?

is the others compulsory? Normally how much does luggage, insurance & convenient fees cost?

Yea the price now i check is around RM431 (depart) but return will be RM304 is this considered cheap or i should wait for a cheaper rate? and thanks for the link. its pretty useful.

Wow then i will need to stay up 24/7 on airasia website hahaha 

it's just 4hours flight... cant we bring our own mineral water in flight?

You can smugler in without them notice or even they will just close one eye..but do you think yopu can escape the International liquid ruling? 

You can buy cheaper water via the 1901 burger outlet there for ~ RM2.50 rather than RM3 buying from Air Asia.. 

wow didnt know it would be a pain in da ass in AA... how bout chewing gum or sweets..... not allowed too? 

No idea wor..Even we dunn9o whether the radioactive cloud will blow to M'sia?

Thank you for your feedback.

My day 2 in Taiwan

Taiwan Day 2

Hey there, have been reading through the posts.

Am currently planning a trip to Taiwan during mid-July (it's going to be super hot). Have only bought the tickets. The trip is for 7D 6N 

Firstly, any recommendations on reasonable hotels / hostel?
Secondly, I would appreciate assistance from fellow forum whom have been to Taiwan to share your itinerary with me? 

It's a rather daunting task to be planning a trip for a group of 5 people for the first time 

Thanks in advance!~ 

Meaning to say with 7 days i can go around whole of taiwan? will it be too pack / rushing?

As I havent been there before, Do u take Taipei as the base and then from there u move around? is the distance between the surrounding areas near or are they far that it would be wiser to stay at a different hotel at different places.

Am totally lost now, haha looking at the map i'm not sure how to plan. In general, how would the recommended movement be? meaning start from which city and then move on to where and where?? 

7D6N. You probably having xtra days that you can explore Kaoshiung/Taichung and another day to Taroko

For me even only 5d4N, I able to do Taroko already including other areas surrounding Taipei such as Jiufen/Yehliu/Dansui & Taipei itself..I only missed 2 areas in Taipei i.e Beitoui, YangMingshan & Wulai area.

If 7D6N, you probably can cover those areas I missed above if you decided not going to Kaoshiong/Taichong

Movement depending on you. To juelien, the speed train service (2hrs via Taroko Express) need advance booking otherwise no ticket. Normalconventional train (Same pricing, most of the time also full and if you insist just buy the "Standby" ticket ion the spot..Well, most of the time you will be standing haha...Normal train ~ 3.5hrs journey to hualien
