[Blessed Homemaker]

We have 6 pax and I've booked a van with Mr Lee.

hi everyone,
I am looking for a 7 seater taxi for airport transfer. Does anyone have any recommendations, pls. I have emailed most of the drivers in the list given. However, they are all normal cabs and can take only 4 adults.

thanks in advance

It really depends on what you are looking for in a F&E tour. Scenic? Farm stay? Cultural? Museums?


I'll be spending 10d/9n in Taiwan, but will be staying 3 nights in Hualien. Now I'm thinking if I should extend another night.

Hi Folks,

Heading to Taipei in Dec with wifey and son for abt 10 days. F&E coz we don't like being herded around, taken to shops, etc. Boy's 14 already so no kiddie theme parks. Anywhere other than Hualien/Torako Gorge when we can stay a night?

Thanks.

Hi all,


I was google-ing on info about taxi driver fr Taoyung airport to taipei hotel and was directed to this site. I didn't know that Kiasuparent also talk about trips??? We are going to Taipei too on 27 Nov to 5 Dec. 2A & 1K (7 yrs old).

I have read thru the 34 pages of info and was wondering anyone has experience on how they settle their 2 huge luggages. Do you bring it along with you if you are travelling away fr Taipei or just leave it with the hotel. :? My problem is I am staying at different hotel different days. Any advises?

Do you really need to bring so many things that filled 2 huge luggages? Usually we travel as light as possible and save the remaining space for goodies from overseas?
If you can leave your huge luggages at a location, does this mean you dont need it at all during your hols?

Depending on what your family enjoys doing, can consider staying a night or two at a wildlife resort and / or hot spring area for different experiences, eg :

For those who are interested in good food, should try the following places in Taipei, if there's time to do so :-


Hot pot : http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2008/02/01/2003399847
(must either make reservation way ahead, or try your luck as walk-in, but expect at least an hour wait - but definitely well worth it!)
