Hi, just want to know w/r the money changers in Taipei will accept S$ for money exchange of NT$? 'Cos I am awared that some countries e.g. Korea dun really accept S$ as a currency for exchanging their Korean Won...

The following restriction applies to only hand-carry luggage, and is imposed by most airlines:

Liquids, gels and aerosols are to be contained in individual containers with total capacity not exceeding a maximum of 100 ml each, and then placed in a sealed zip-lock bag with a total capacity not exceeding a maximum of 1 litre.

Note that even if the contents of each individual container is less than 100 ml each, one may have problems passing the customs if the individual containers themselves exceed a maximum capacity of 100 ml.

One way to avoid the above hassle of packing toiletries for your trip would be to check them in with your luggage. That way, the above restrictions do not apply.

Hi All,
It's going to get cold over the next few days , So please dress appropriately when you are here:
"....this winter's first cold continental air mass is expected to hit Taiwan Dec. 29 and to remain stationary for five days.
The polar air mass could cause the mercury to drop to as low as 8 degrees Celsius in central and northern Taiwan and to 12 degrees Celsius in southern and eastern Taiwan, they said."

should be 2) won star @ 118SGD

However, their rooms are not sound-proof. So, while the next room talk too loud, u can hear at times, while @ night.

For TS i heard the solo suit its very small, just curious was it like the standard room in Genting First World?
or is it more worth it to get the Superior Suite @ NT$1,680 per nite? Please advise ;p
