Depends what you spend on I guess.
I did have a delicious but damn expensive teppanyaki meal in dongqu. If eat like that a couple more times during the trip, probably would need $2.5k for 2pax

Never say how many days, never say where you going for whole trip.
It's hard to guestimate.

 

[pinpinpin]

Bingo. But it's so little, i ain't care too much about it as cab fares not say very rip off there.

Yes. I think the fare 135 + 3.5 (surcharge) = 138.50.

I gave 140 then got off already.

I dont mind giving ntd 5 for tip la.

But the Cab driver really bo liao. say just take cab everywhere.

Wanted to go from that location to the MRT. He said just take cab. I on GPS see walk to the MRT only 15 mins, around 1km.

Please get yourself data plan unlimited to use google map.
It will be extremely useful when comes to directions.

Most meals were like NT$400-500 for 2 pax.
That meal was about NT$5000 if I remember correctly.

I got a friend and his gf spent SGD3k+ for 10 days in Taichung and Taipei. Equivalent to about SGD 300+ per day. That's just for shopping, eating and transport excluding flight and hotel. I wonder how they can spend so much. Are things in Taiwan so expensive? For me, I just intend to bring SGD 200 per day. I wonder if its enough.

Well, if you are first time in Taiwan and think everything is so new and wants to buy, it's possible.
But 2 person spend 3K for 10 days is not impossible.
Try buying more bags etc.
Even dining is DTF is only at max 1200NTD for 2 pax for that meal.
If include transport says about 100 per day private taxi, it already come up to 1000SGD.
So barely 2K is for food and shopping, logical enough.
