Hi,
I'm currently selecting a 6/5 days Taiwan tour package. Should I pick the east coast tour or west coast tour ?

QUOTE(allenultra @ Nov 10 2009, 09:36 AM) West Coast = Major Cities. If take the 7 days round Island trip by coach will it be tiring ?East Coast = Seaside, Natural Beauty. Take your pick. I went for West Coast backpacking before, can't wait to go for the East Coast trip in the near future.  |

QUOTE(allenultra @ Nov 15 2009, 09:32 PM) 7 days round Island? wow... 11days is only possible if DIY trip or free and easy.I spent 11 days only for Taipei, TaiChung, Tainan, Kaoshiung. Ken Ding was called off due to the typhoon hit Taiwan on mid-July 2009. Was lucky that I was not in Taiwan when the strong typhoon hit recently. I bring the whole family which include elders and children there and I want everything prearranged. The longest Taiwan tour package offered by tour operators is 7 days. |

So I'm thinking to change USD 1st & once arriving change USD to T$... RM-->US-->TWD ? kena commission dua kali wor ....but wait..suprisinghly T$ now dropping at Wawasan..10.85 liao...hopefully drop further... http://www.wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.asp I Just booked 7/6 days round island trip on 27th December. 2010 count down at Kaushiong. RM2077 per pax. Still got some seats left. QUOTE(happy4ever @ Nov 18 2009, 01:07 PM) Their cost is this http://www.bnm.gov.my/statistics/exchangerates.php You mean IOI mall old wing near Maxis center ?markup only for you. after wawasan, near Jusco, there's the magazine shop inside also got money changer.

QUOTE(eddie89 @ Nov 24 2009, 05:40 PM) Hi guys, I am going Taiwan next month, is a 21" inch (55cm) luggage + a backpack sufficient for traveling two weeks? 21" is just nice for cabin size, no need to check in luggage. But 25" would be idea if you go for shopping spree. |

I saw the 5" Papago R5800 demo at PC fair recently. It has all the features like 3D, Junction View, etc similar to that of the Garmin high end model but at a lower price of RM899 only with 5 Asean country maps and carrying case thrown in.

QUOTE(stimix @ Dec 13 2009, 11:16 PM) @cybersim. there is no0 need for contact, i dun even ask the taxi driver for the number..just hire any taxi outside the station will do...You can negotiate wth them. I negotiated till BT$1600 but he insisted on Rm1800. He asked additional NT$400 for Chin Sui Cliff which i agreed bcos need abit of detour. Taiwan taxi can sit maximum how many person ? Did you some across MPV taxi ?Added on December 14, 2009, 9:15 pmStimix, you seems to be able to get online every night in Taiwan, your hotel provides free wifi ? or perhaps wifi hot spots are easily available in Taiwan ?

QUOTE(pino88 @ Dec 15 2009, 07:59 PM) Opps, typo error. USD is about RM3.40 and the best NTD is RM10.95 in Gian Kinrara.Im not bringing any RM to Taiwan.. Is just that should i can half half TWD and USD? or totally change USD there and change at airport. By the way, i saw about 2-3 money changer at there, which 1 got the bestest rate or all of them is the same rate? After immigration. or b4 immigration eh? Stimix, if you have few thousand NTD left, can change back RM with me. |
