Kaoh Siung -> Sun Moon Lake -> Tai Chung -> Cing Jing -> Shi Fen -> Tai Pei

Just to check with everyone if the above routing is abit difficult by Self Drive? Too taxing ma?

I just do a rough calculation for you..

Nexus 7 32GB 3G+Wifi = USD$299
Shipping from Google to Comgateway = USD$15
Total: USD$314
Estimated shipping from Comgateway to SG(they using DHL) = USD$15
Total: USD$329

Estimated forex: 1.25(Should be relatively close to Bank Rates with admin fees) = SGD$411.25 x 7% GST = Grand Total: S$440

IT Show in March selling it for S$469
Ppl selling BNIB in vr-zone for S$460(Comes with Case + OTG Cable + Screen Protector )

2nd hand 4 month set at $300(With case and screen protector)

My sister has 3 x $100 Jetstar vouchers. Can sell you at 30% discount. Down point is can only use one voucher for one booking. So I book SIN-TPE one booking and TPE-SIN another booking, instead of SIN-TPE-SIN as one booking. I used the price guarantee. I paid $248 after the price guarantee and using the vouchers (discounted).

oh okay...lol

I'm leaving tml night for a round the island motor touring trip. Will share my itinerary and such when I'm back.

Was going to do clockwise, go to Hualien first but looking at the weather, think I'll do anti-clockwise, go to Miaoli first.

B&H has it but labelled it as 4G..To them HSDPA+ is like 4G while for us is just 3G..

Radioshack only 32GB Wifi from what i've seen..

Still rather he buy the $300 4 months old set..

Ya..Can use here but on their network, their HSDPA+ is getting the same speed of what we're getting for 4G here but frequency band is same as our 3G band..

yes over 400 there will be 7% GST.
but u have to check the diff.. maybe its more worth to get the 32gb even there is 7% GST

 

[Gixxerfied]

The thing is chiu want 3G..There's no 16GB 3G Variation..Only Wifi..

16GB Wifi is USD$229..Like that u might as well hoot the 4 months old 32GB 3G+Wifi for $300....
