Agree.. some more the AA mineral water is in very small bottle not those standard 500ml.. i think jz 300ml only, very expensive oh..

I am not trying to smuggling just a mineral water... If later get caught they might use finger to check out my ass.... or maybe worst.... you should get the picture by now hahaha i watch too much movies....

sweet/candy is allowed.. even biscuit oso should b ok

jz liquid material r not allowed

oh i wonder why....

Actually M'sian airport is one of the most relax/flexible interm of the liquid ruling compare to other sin the world esp UK & US. All thanks to some terrorist bringing in liquid bomb into flight years backj in UK. Anyway, for Domestic flights, M'sian airport allow liquid. no problem.

So it's not AA problem but International ruling.

hi stimix,

Do u think it's safe to go Taiwan around June due to Japan's plant crisis?

Is it worth to go to Alishan ?? or stay there ?

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

hope everything will be settled n fine in Japan quickly

Yea i hope so too.... But when i go Taiwan i think its already settled... And i think By the time June should be over....

I managed to sneak in my water bottle in LCCT only once, the rest of the times, I got caught and need to get rid of the bottles. Some times when they have too many to handle, we can just walk off without getting rid of the bottles. But I don't fly that much via LCCT, maybe like 20 times so far?
Sometimes I feel that it's for commercial purpose rather than safety purpose, because Air Asia is selling plain bottled water at a premium price.

In KLIA, they are more relaxed. I managed to bring in my bottles almost everytime now, at least for this year...

Taipei Taoyuan Airport is the best! All liquid allow to bring on board. Been there for 5 times now, never asked me to remove my water bottle before.
Will be going there again in middle of April.

When my time to fly back to Malaysia, I bought Lipton Milk Green Tea (super sedap. actually already drink half bottle, plan to finish up in the airport, but was too caught up with time during check in so forgot about it) and when after Immigration Check on my bag, they ask me to either throw the remaining tea or drink it up. Tat time a bit rush for time, so i reluctantly drink a bit then throw the rest away. but i still keep the bottle with me. feel so sad lo.

Lipton, why u no bring Milk Green Tea to Malaysia?

Speaking of lipton.. when I was in Europe, I am the big fan of their gassy tea in a bottle. Yum yum. It's like carbonated tea.

I'm going to taiwan this end of apr. As per advised by stimix i should change from US dollar first and then to TWN Dollar at airport... now the US dollar rate is
Live rates at 2011.03.23 23:59:01 UTC
1.00 USD = 3.03400 MYR

So it's the best time to change now?
Taoyuan airport money changer will open that time or not cos i wll be arrive airport at around 11.00 pm. pls advise thanks.

Not so sure on the late nite money changer..should be 24 hrs kua?

And on the rate, I dun think anyone can tell you whether is the best time as rate can fluctuate hourly just like stock market..

ya... just now checked the wawasan, it rate at USD 1 = 3.025 MYR..... They open 24hours at airport if din mistaken.....

Hi .. going to Taiwan soon

I would like to seek advice if I want to travel around taiwan

from Taipei - Yilan - Huelian - Chiayi - Nantou - Taichung - Taoyuan - Taipei

Is it posibble following this sequence ? ... any above place got nothing much attraction .. n which is a must go ?

Some of Taiwan cities doesn't looks attractive from my point of view. Even the Huelian town ..probably just the size of Taiping also don't really looks great, The only attraction there is Chin Sui Cliff & Taroko. Otherwise, the town is just a town ..nothing much there..I passby few towns such as yilan during the trip to Taroko...Not really interesting...Similarly the city/town of Keelung also nothing much there except their Wai sek kai...Just a transit town to goto Yehliu & Jiufen

Unless you have many days in Taiwan, concentrate only on Taipei, Taroko, some say Alishan & if wanna goto 2nd largest city of Kaoshiung alos can...

Others smaller towns...passthrough can dy..

Alishan is fully open now ? after the earthquake

HUelian .. go to Taroko and Chinsui cliff ... is it also convenience go to Sun Moon Lake ? ... is it worh to stay 1 nite at Sun Moon Lake ?

No idea on Alishan as I only linit my 5D4N stays to Taipei, Keelung & Hualien only

Sun Moon lake from the photos & numerous reviews, nothing interest me..just like one big lake garden like what we hv in Titiwangsa or Taiping lake..

Anyway, lotsa cities & towns in Taiwan, look typical china hulu-hulu style wan..Although the country is modern but the towns & cities are suprising abit shaby & simple. Even in big city like Taipei, They still having those 1970 era petrol stations which is a shock to me
