Anyone tried withdrawing cash from ATM using youtrip card? The rate seems not bad now at 22.723, I do understand there is a S$5 processing fee (+ Receiving bank charges [dunno how much]). Thanks.

* Corrected the X rate. :)

Got unusual experience yest night. Was on taxi back hotel & taxi driver blur send me to near fengjia area instead of hotel.

Was going through e road & suddenly this woman asked e driver if can send her further up e Road where e 酒店 is. She look like those work in 酒店 kind. She asked through e wind down win cause e driver was driving w e win down.
(Was blasting his 闽南语 music)

Driver said ok but gotta send us to our 饭店 before send her to 酒店. I was like shocked cause this is not grab share or uber. Is this considered normal? I had family member w me so i was naturally concerned.

Another thing was he quoted flat rate instead of meter. This part i can understand cause there was a distance from our location to hotel & stand out as tourist

Just came back from Taiwan recently.
One thing is that I didn't encounter any PMD there.
So good.

i visited alishan, cingjing, sun moon lake, cks memorial hall, xiangshan, shifen, danshui fisherman wharf sunset, YMS, ximending, feng jia and raohe night market during recent trip.
