Hi to all We are planning to visit Taiwan this April and Im currently doing research for our itinerary, I would like to ask lang sana if the food stalls in Shihlin Night MArket has English translations for their menus and prices? Tia

[mrsB]

^ Hmmm, wala pong translation. Pictures lang hehe. Yung price naman in "normal" numbers, example 50, 70, 120, so maiintindihan... 

[heaven_scent102]

restaurant suggestions please, isa sa nilolook forward talaga ni hubby sa taipei is yung food trip hehe

[Cari]

ano ba magandang pasalubong na mura from Taipei? Clothes, perfume, jewelry,etc?

TIA!

[hippiechick]

I'm leaving tonight for Taipei! I'm praying hard na tumigil na muna ang rain showers.

Looking forward to all the street food, especially trying stinky tofu for the first time!

[jtansanco]

^^ Definitely the tech gadgets. An example is that Samsung S3 is about P15k here but he can get it at about P10k in Taiwan.

[Cari]

wow jtsanco..ganun kamura gadgets dyan? saan naman pwede bumili ng hindi maloloko?

[jtansanco]

^ Not really into gadgets so really have no clue. Sinabi lang sa akin ng dad ko yan e. Haven't been to taiwan in years so check mo nalang prices for comparison. Taiwan isn't China so it isn't likely to be fake when you go to the stores.

[Cari]

Just got back from Taiwan. Hands down, the Yehliu Geopark is my favorite spot. So pretty! <3

[vhanya]

^is it far from taipei? it's nice nga! perfect for pre-nup photos lols

[hippiechick]

^ It's about an hour via bus from the Taipei West Terminal Station A. IMO, the long trip was really worth it. <3

[Cari]

sis hippiechick,how's the weather in taiwan nung nagpunta ka?

TIA!

[hippiechick]

^ Malamig! I only brought a spring coat (kasi before we left, the temp was at 20C), but when we got there, naging 15C!! Haha! Napabili tuloy ako ng heavier coat, ang daming cute na reasonably priced sa Shilin Night Market & Wufenpu Fashion District.

Luckily, hindi kami inabutan ng ulan although there were some super slight drizzles. In Yehliu though, mas malamig pa yata kasi it was sooo windy! As in my teeth started to chatter. Hehe.

[Cari]

thanks sis hippechick..umuulan daw ba dun ngayon? may mga mura bang trench coat sa mga tiangge dun?

[hippiechick]

^ When we left yesterday ng hapon, mataas na ang araw and hindi na gaano malamig (22C).
Although feeling ko may pagka-unpredictable din ang weather doon eh.

Madaming coat na binebenta ngayon. I saw some for as low as NTD500, yung mga 'normal' and plain coats.
Nakabili ako ng camel na 1960s-style coat for NTD1500 (which is approx PHP2000). Arte lang.

[Cari]

hi sis, thanks. can you share your IT? ang ano pa murang bilhin sa Taipei?
