Well, i have actually 8 brand new easylink card... so i need to combine into 2 only If I can do it at airport is better la..

Thank you. will monitor the weather forecast daily now. Hope the radiation level in Taiwan is within permissible limit.

I have the scale...

When will you be going over there Ms.Mandy ?

Hahah. I guess nobody has recommended Wego here yet due to shyness

Had wanted to stay a night there but not feasible for my trip during early March 2011. Will definitely try Wego, Eden or iMore on next trip...good place for a romantic honeymoon. This motel is not your traditional motel or even hotel... Details are a simple Google away, do note that these places usually only accept couples...and tend to be less wallet-friendly.

yes... that's right

among city inn 1, 2 & 3, which is the best?

thx

weather in taipei on October-Nov? What should i prepare?

No it's not that cold until you need to wear winter clothing/thick jacket.
It only starts to get cold in December, and last until Feb/March.

Even in Dec just b4 Christmas, avg temp is almost like CH/Genting..18C till 23C. light jacket will do..Only in Jan till Feb, temperature probably drop to 8C till 13C

Prior to Dec, Temp probably 20C til 27C..

it mean december will very cold.... cos my relative back on dec n wanna go taiwan on tat month..... omg

No. Dec is like Genting/CH. I was there 2 yrs ago during dec..Even on the day I arrived, temperature was at 26C...Hot!..Only on 3rd day temp ~18C whuch is justr like CH during rain. BTW, Temp at nite time in CH sometime can drop to 14C

When i was there last Oct end - early Nov, Taipei were pretty rainy... drizzling, so it will be a bit cold. But i can survive with my cardigan and leggings. It will be even colder at nite. The temp roughly ~ 18 - 20 degree celcius. Higher places like Taoyuan (Leofoo Park & Windows of China) were super cold due to strong wind. Were shivering all the time.

It was pretty opposite when i was in Kaoshiung, the weather is sunny cool but humid until i sweat. I think i sweat the most in Kaoshiung. Taichung also pretty sunny with cool breeze.

So, the weather pretty much depends on the location also. Do bring a thicker jacket/cardigan just in case. But most of the time i walked a lot so i dun feel that cold..

I'll be most probably in Taipei shopping and for some night markets.... A free & easy tour

I'm going to taiwan on the 25th of March.

Just curious, is it safe to go there now? since there is a nuclear fallout in Japan, will the nuclear radiation spread to Taiwan?

Will be going to Taipei again end of this month. Sigh.

work or leisure?

For sure is work.. see the "sign"
