So a sweater/windbreaker is good enough?

good enough i think, esp for buibui like me. but have seen locals wearing 3 layers or winter-like outer clothing

Taiwan is not expensive. If you do not buy expensive stuff and eat restaurant occasionally, $500 per person is more than enough for food and transportation, excluding accommodation, for up to 10 days.

Yeah bro agreed, what I basically have said before a few posts ago. $1000 is too much for an EIGHT days trip. (To visitors going soon, if you wanna get branded you definitely need more).

TRA tickets

May I know if I need to book TRA tickets in advance if I'm travelling from Taichung TRA to Xinwuri TRA on a Saturday (5 Jan 2013) morning? Or can I just buy directly on the day itself at the station counter?
