@abbeydasassy: madali naman to apply for a visa. basta complete mo requirements

[jodainess]

Hi sis, akala ko mag-isa lang ako sa prob na eto hehe. Actually may nakausap ako sa odesk forum sis, nkapagtravel daw siya pero business permit pinakita nya. Yan daw kasi ibang option if gusto mgtour abroad f freelancer, and other option is if may mag-iinvite sayo. Kalungkot both options wala ako, hehe.

[abbeydasassy]

Just got back from Taiwan. They are friendly kahit hindi kami nagkakaintindihan  they give priority talaga sa mga elders,pwd and kids. Their MRTs & buses are very efficient to roam around Taipei.

Day 1: (half day na kami nagstart)
Taipei Zoo
Maokong Gondola --closed under maintenance
K underground Mall

Day 2:  sa haba ng nilakad namin from morning 'til evening dito sumakit ang mga binti ko.
Beitou - musuem, thermal valley and park
Fisherman's wharf and lover's bridge
Taipei 101
Elephant Mountain - nasobrahan kami ng lakad coming from Taipei 101 instead of 15-20 minutes walk inabot kami ng 1 hour. I almost gave-up dahil sa pagod at gabi na rin around 7pm. I was thinking baka close na but to my surprise marami pa rin ang umaakyat. worth it when we reached the viewing deck, di na ko umakyat sa peak kasi di na kaya ng powers ko.

Day3:
Longshan temple
CKS
SYS Memorial Hall

Sa food, nagustuhan ko naman yung mga street food/deep fry nila pero yung soup nila esp the stock di kaya ng ilong ko ang amoy though not all naman. at ang mura lang ng milk tea kaya milk tea to sawa ako

^hi sis! mind sharing kung san kayo nag-stay? salamat!

to other sisses here, which area should we book our hotel/hostel? thank you.

[andreil_19]

^ we stayed at my husband's hostel sis sa Taoyuan, 30 minutes drive to TMS. I don't recommend you to stay here kasi magastos sa fare. Try to book near Ximending malapit sa mga tourist spot at kainan.

[u8mypinkcookies]

^^ we stayed the Park Taipei Hotel last January Ok sya kasi right infront of Da-an Station...

[andreil_19]

^ read from other forum na may bus na ang last trip is 1:30 am going to TMS or by taxi medyo mahal lang pag-taxi. Just have your itinerary/hotel/pati airport name printed with translations para yun na lang ipapakita mo sa kanila just in case hindi kayo magkaintindihan.

Sis I'm a government employee at smooth naman pagkuha ko ng visa.  Prinesent ko authority to travel, bank certificate, approved leave form, certificate of employment, itr at pati yung rt ticket.  Though may nabasa ako sa iba na no need na yung rt ticket. Nanigurado Lang ako.

[loverofsummer]

Been to Taiwan twice already though palaging sa Taichung ang base ko. Masaya talaga mag-night market! Sa FengJia, sobrang mura! I bought boots there 130 NT per pair lang last November. Every November-December, there's this Sea of Flower Festival sa Xinshe (40 minute drive from Taichung) na sobrang ganda!

Going back again sa Chinese New Year. Yung RT ticket plus hotel booking, lagi kong sinasama sa visa application--panigurado lang din. I wrote a step-by-step guide on applying for a Taiwan visa in my blog. Just click below my signature if you need information.

When is the best time to travel to Taiwan? Yung not too cold, not too hot and not rainy. TIA!

[sunnysan]

^i was in taiwan for a month last november. I think that's the perfect month to visit. Medyo cold at night but sa hapon comfortable naman. i was there last august pero sobrang init kaya kakatamad maglakad lakad. There were a few rainy days pero ok lang naman kasi super ganda ng transportation system sa taipei. i just bring an umbrella during days na makulimlim para sure.

[ailea]
