Talk about Taiwan it remind me of the Btel Nut Girls. I have seem them in Kohsuang. But I was in the tour bus and so was just a glance only. Only one has experince to share?

I'm planning to go to taiwan end of this year .. 8 Dec - 14 Dec ....6 day trip to Taipei only
At the moment i haven't book my air ticket yet as i am still looking for an accommodation to stay ...preferable located in the city
My budget will be around rm 200 per night - doesn't care whether it is small room but it must be clean.

As for the places to visit during my trip im still doing researching.
Other than that, i am planning to try hot springs in Taiwan. Any recommendation ?

wow...rm 200 per night...i think most of the hotel in taipei is under ur budget except some 5 star 1 ~~ there is many around the taipei train station, it will be convenient for you. single room normally from nt 600 - nt 1500 per night.

from your budget, i recommend you this:

http://www.gocityinn.com/

there is 2 branch near to taipei train station. just different room type. you can have a check on them. and both of them have a Apple mac in their lobby~

My budget is < RM150 nite. Nice, clean, cheap and convenient to get public transport location.
Please recommend.

do you sleep late? because the mrt stop at 12am, so if you sleep be4 this time, you can stay near taipei train station and travel whole taipei by mrt. Even you go clubbing till late night, you can back there with teksi at around nt 150.

This 2 is nice enuf.

And this 1 i went to its lobby before, its abit dark and the building is old. but the price is still ok. single room nt 1200++

But if you dont satisfied, you may go for other option and maybe higher pricing and not near to taipei train station

Try to book Gocity Inn on Jan next year but all the date mark 'X'. Izit fully booked o wat?

i think its better to contact their customer service~ its their system setting problem. there is 2 branch, 1 have online customer service and email, another 1 have only email. both locate at lower left hand side of the page.

i will b goin to taiwan end of this month.. FREE & Easy...

any suggestion which nice hotel to stay at XIMENDING?

i'll be going to taiwan 1nov...
is it a good time during that period?
how's the weather n condition in taiwan now...
recent, typhoon,tsunami adn earthquake makes me scared to travel

went to taiwan last year, 8days. hmm i would say it really really really worth it. taiwan is a greate place to travel. not only food are nice, its like so happening everynite at (夜市）。thy have dam alot of thing to eat, to see, to buy. and ofcourse, there are alot leng lui all over the street.

for the 1st time u went to taiwan, u would like to follow the travel agencies. but for the 2nd time, i'm sure u will prefer to go by ur own, but rmb to feed ur wallet wif alot of $$ cause u gona spent like mad there. i'm the 1 who over spent @_@"

I've book a trip to Taiwan next year at Jan 2010 ( 8 days ). How much pocket money shd i bring? Is it all the things there expensive? I said some gals stuff is very cheap but jz the food a bit expensive. Pls
