Added on July 22, 2009, 10:17 amFrom all the previous post, I gathered that follow the tour package is not so enjoyable as we have to follow a tour guide who will lead us to those “wasting time shop”

F & E have to book own hotel and I going to round the Taiwan island.. meaning to say that if i go as F&E, i hv to book 7 different hotel rooms for me to travel round the island.. very mafan ler... In addition, how about our luggage? I believed if we follow a tour package, we can keep our luggage underneath the bus seat. If F&E how? hand carry? How about our meal and accommodation fee? F&E can cost a lot in our meal and accommodation expenses..

anyone mind to schedule me a free and easy journey round the taiwan island?

Hope some of you can provide help or information on how to go about it and also need help concerning hotel and transport - by coach or train to other cities like Taichung, Hualien, Kaoshiong and other cities.
Will also appreciate help in information on "must go" places of interest, food to sample and maybe things to buy. And also need information on weather and clothes to bring during mid of October.


thx a lot!!!!!!!
