if you had to choose Taipei Amusement Park or Leofoo Village themepark? ang kids ages 5,7,8 san sila mas mageenjoy? feeling ko kasi sa taipei amusement park..sa leofoo kasi feeling ko mas hindi pang ages nila yun rides eh... although pwede din naman namin puntahan yun leofoo kasi we had 9 days in taipei..what do you think mga sis?  and yun national palace museum mukhang di naman nila maeenjoy no?

How's the weather in Taiwan now? Upon checking accuweather, nasa 21C na sa Taipei and 22C sa Taichung. Baguio weather na pala?

[rocky]

^medyo accurate naman yan sis, jan din ako nagmo-monitor ng weather nong travel namin last sept

[IronLady]

Salamat sis ooh-lala! 😊 Balak ko magpapalit ng php to twd sa naia onti tapos php to twd din sa taoyuan airport na.

Sis rocky.. yung pocket wifi mo san mo inavail?

[minatay91]

How's the weather in May? Maulan ba talaga?

[plumpolka]

^yep, malakas ulan pero nung kami, gabi lang naman malakas ang ulan then medyo aambon na ng hapon. good thing yung airbnb namin may payong. super lakas nung andun kami ng may, yung tipong alam mong wala na pasok kinabukasan dahil for sure na hanggang bewang yung baha. but pag gising namin ng umaga, parang wala namang bakas na umulan. hehe

Grabe nakalibre ako ng pocket wifi sa https://www.ivideo.com.tw/english dahil sa promo. P450 for 5 days naging free. Hahaha. Ipon lang kayo ng promo codes from blogs. Sakto may 50% off + 10% off Black Friday Sale pa.

[rocky]

^nagamit mo na sis? ganyan din sa kin nong august kala ko free lahat kaka-enter ng coupon sa account. pero maximum yata nila $3 lang free. so pag-pick up ko sa store nagbayad ako ng $4.47 for 3 days. though mura pa rin saka mabilis yong wifi

[7galleons]

Ay talaga ba? Akala ko wala ng babayaran. Tomorrow ko pa makukuha. Nacredit na siya sa account ko e. Kapag may kulang kasi naka-charge siya sa CC di ba?

[rocky]

oo sis, ganon kasi sa akin. pero na-detect ng system, so pagdating don may need pa akong bayaran. buti may computer sila sa office so nakigamit na lang ako para bayaran online

[minatay91]

@plumpolka

OMG! that sounds horrible Easily flooded ba yung Taiwan? huhuuh naka.book na kase ako ng flight... baka we can't get anywhere on foot due to the rain...

Mga sis, what can we do in Taiwan if it rains in the day? I'm hoping na maka.lakad2 pa din... like sa SG na kahit ulan maganda drainage and pwede din ako mag.lakad underground

Another thing, I'm getting confused dahil sa pa.iba2 ng comment sa internet.. Can I get by in Taiwan with only English? Some say no, some say yes... huhuh I'll probably be in Taipei, and the nice lakes and the mushroom2 place hehe

[ataypool]

^Hindi siya bahain. I was there last June, umulan nang diretso like signal no. 2 but madami pa rin naglalakad. Traffic bad but walang baha.

[IronLady]

Mga sis pano pumunta ng yangmingshan national park from ximending?

[sherlock]

^
based sa mga nabasa ko sis, to go to YANGMINGSHAN:

MRT to Jiantan Station Exit 1. take the City Bus R5 or small bus S15 or S17 to Yangmingshan station (阳明山站). Then in YMS station, ride BUS#108 (shuttle bus) to go around the park.

@7galleons

sis, nakuha mo na pocket wifi mo? nagbayad ka pa ba ng additional? will get mine tomorrow morning pa kasi. para makapagready ako ng pambayad hehe. ganyan din kasi ginawa ko, puro CREDITS ginamit ko.

[krispee_creme]
