Hi

Did you all heard about cabbie meeky yang, fee for a day around 10hr for NT3000. Exluding the admission ticket. He will come to the hotel and fetch us and send us back to hotel or any night market that we want to go. There will be 3 people includes me.

With a youth pass. Do you think it is still worth of booking a cabbie go all these place Yehliu -> Shifen -> Jiufen Old Street -> Jingguashih -> 南雅 -> 鼻頭 -> Yinyanghai -> keelung tong seng park -> MiaoKow Food Street. Maybe more as depends on the road route.

Or you guys have better suggestion. Pls advise me. Thanks

I have invited my wife's sister and mother to visit us in Canada. I have sent all the necessary documents required by the Philippine and Canadian immigration including airline tickets. They are stopping over for a few hours in Taipei and then on to Canada.
I heard tonight that the Taipei immigration is wanting a "PECO STAMP" I have no idea what this is or where I can obtain one for our travellers.

Can you HELP me?

Thanks,

Hi

Are there any public libraries in Taipei that have good selection of English novels? I know Page One at 101 is a good English bookstore, it would be nice to borrow books instead of buying all the time.

Thanks

hi...any1 can help me wif tis? how can i get to royal castle hotel fr CKS airport? heard that there are airport bus..so wanna which 1 goes 2 there?
many many thks!!!

My parents were thinking of going to Yang Ming Shan to see the flowers.
Would there still be flowers in April, which is when they were thinking of going?
How does one get from the airport to Yang Ming Shan?
Is there any accomodation around in the area that is clean and affordable?
Is there anything else they should see around the same vicinity as I understand that Yang Ming Shan is not exactly in the city?

Does Taipai have any American Food Restaurants? If so, where do I find information.

Hi,
I'm going Taipei this week. There are a few places I'm thinking of going but have no idea how to get there. I'm staying at Royal Castle. Please advise on how to get to the following places from my hotel!! Really appreciate all your help!!!

1. Miniatures Museum of Taipei
2. Tamshui
3. Sankeng Tofu St.
4. Sun Moon Lake

Are the above places worth going?? What other places should I visit?

Hi do most department stores accept visa or mastercard?
how about the night markets, do they only accept cash?
thanks

I am visiting Taiwan. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 kids. I prefer staying in newly built hotels. Are there any newly built 4 star hotels in Taipei? If not, maybe 4 star hotels that are less than 5 years old. Thanks.

Dear VTs,

I'll be in Taipei 19-22 Jan 2008.

Anyone there can advise hows the weather there now?

Is it really raining all day long?

Many thanks!!!

Hi i once saw at the Discovery Channel about a restaurant in Taipei that serves food on a platter that is shaped like a Toilet Bowl. Where can find this place?

Where can i eat exotic foods in Taipei?
I will be visiting 3rd wk of January.
Thanks.

is it good? do you have to pay extra as a hotel guest to enjoy the open pool?

I plan on purchasing a computer in the very near future, and it just so happens I'll also be in Taiwan in the very near future. I kind of have my heart set on a macbook. I was just wondering if these are sold at all in Taiwan and if they were the same price or cheaper.

Another question. If I were not set on a Mac book, does Taiwan offer any reliable, competitive, and cheaper (than the States) alternatives? Could I purchase a reliable computer in Taiwan for cheaper than I could back in the States?
Thanks

Hi,

I have not really seen many reviews on East Dragon Hotel even though it is located at a very convenient place too in XMT.

I have reserved a triple room in this hotel (Did some research and it seems that this is the only hotel in XMT that provides triple room at a reasonable rate and the additional bed is not the foldable type).

Can someone who has stayed in this hotel provides some reviews on it, i.e. is the hotel clean, are the rooms big,etc? And does the Freego bus stops in front of this Hotel from CKS Airport? How do I take the Freego bus from CKS Airport to this hotel?
