just got from taiwan. Mixed ang experinece maganda and hinde.

Maganda kasi i get to know the people. Sobrang nakakatuwa ang mga taiwanese honest, helpful and concern to other citizen. Partida foreigner pa kami. Pati pagtawid ko sa stop light may kumalabit sakin tatawid na raw hehe.

Tapos nung nagtatanong kami kahit saan may lalapit sayo and willing kang tulungan. Kasi konting konti ang marunong mag english dun. Tapos magtanong ka sa tindera kung ano masarap sa tinda niya sasabihin niya totoo. 2 kasi klase ng pinapple cake isang matamis isang hindi. Sabi niya mas masarap daw yung matamis. Nung pagcheck ko sa counter yung bumili before namin same nung tinuro ng ale hehe.

Sobrang naimpress ako sa mga tao dun. Sinabihan pa kami nung matanda na magingat sa may bandang ximending delikado raw dun. Well baka naman mas delikado pa quiapo dun ng malayo.

here's iteniraray:
1st day
longshan temple
chang kai shek
flower market
jade market
sang yat zen garden
taipei 101
top girl store
helllo kitty sweets
shillin
ximending night market

2nd day
national palace
taipei arena
baked it yourself
nova computer store
modern temple
ximending night market

bad experience nagkasakit ako kasi hindi ako sanay sa lamig. Mrt lang kami saka lakad kaya sobra pagod talaga.Pag natanong ka sa iba ang sagot sayo mandarin hehe.

DAY 4

We slept in and enjoyed our hotel bed. Haha :D We were supposed to go see the Longshan Temple, Grant Hotel, and National Palace kaso tinamad na kami. And it didn't pique our interest too much naman din so OK lang. :)

Hope this helps! :)

Hi guys, ask ko lang, would P25K be enough for a 6D5N trip to Taiwan? That's for Food+Accomodations+Transpo+Shopping. Or kulang ba yan?

Hi! I have scored rt tickets for me and hubby thru cebu pac's  piso fare yesterday. Travel period will he next yr pa. I have been to taiwan twice already but those were in 1997 and 1998 pa. Super tagal na and hindi ko na maalala most of the places na pinuntahan namin. From taipei to kaoshiung napuntahan ko. But this time, sa taipei lang kami ni hubby for 4d4n. meron pa ba yung parang miniature ng mga popular places around the world like leaning tower of pisa, etc sa taipei? Parang napuntahan namin ito eh then may mga theme parks din kaming napuntahan. We are planning to stay at ximending. Ito yung popular shopping district nila right? Any hotel recommendations in this area? We are planning to visit cks memorial hall, sun yat sen memorial, hello kitty sweets, taipei 101, and shilin night market. Can you recommend other nice places that we can visit? Thanks :)

I saw an all-in fare na P1790 one way from Clark nga lang, is that considered mura na? How much din pala visa and mahirap ba kumuha? I wanna visit coz parang ganda sa pics, but clueless pa ko about this place. Naririnig ko lang sa kwento of some friends na nakapunta na.

yung sa shillin market meron doon shop na for pasalubong mga naka box na  pineapple cakes, mochi, pear , mango pudding. Piliin mo yung mas matamis na pineapple cake yun ang masarap. Mochi din mas masarap kesa sa mochi ng Japan.  Kung bibili ka ng 5 boxes kahit ano dyan libre isang box. 100 NT yun.

Noodles yung yi du zhan ang tatak meron siyang real beef. Sa may grocery ito nabibili. 70 NT yung 3 pcs na noodles. Sulit yan.

Yung chocolates sa may supermarket market ang name. European chocolate naman ang name ng brand. 200 NT yun.

Gusto ko bumalik sa taiwan dahil dyan hehe

^re: VISA
I think basta complete requirements ipasa mo, ma approve yan.
First out of the country ko din ang Taiwan (2011), nag worry din ako nun na di ma approve ang visa. Yung COE ko kasi naka indicate dun yung travel dates ko, then sa Bank Cert naman, more than 20k lang laman nun, and 3 days lang ako dun.

Good luck mga sissies :)
