Travel: Taiwan - Taipei

[lastoknow]

Blessed Homemaker:

You can check with the Taipei hotel you'll be staying for your 1st leg, some of them allow you to deposit your main luggage at their hotel with no charge. You can pick it up when you return for your 2nd leg, with or without staying. However, if you are going to travel to several places in Taiwan, I don't see a reason why you need to deposit your bags in Taipei since you'll be needing all the warm clothings.


For us, we always travel light and will look for accommodation with free washing machine usage or laundromat.

Thank you Starlight & Blessed Homemaker for your reply.

It seems like we have to bring our luggage with us. Is our 1st trip to Taipei and I am afraid if we bring a smaller luggage, we might hv problem putting all our goodies.. gifts.... plus our clothing. :evil:

I read that DBS Taiwan offers good rates too. Wrt to BOT and Mega bank, Mega offers better rate.

The $80 savings is difference between Taoyuan airport and their branch in Taipei or difference between taipei branch and Singapore?

Hi Blessed Homemaker,

Sorry for late reply. The $80 difference is between Taipei and Singapore.

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.

My family will be spending 10 days F&E in Taiwan in late Nov. Now still finalising where to visit. We have booked hotel and farm stays

Good for those whose schools do not have such immersion programme. Or those who do not take higher chinese (such tours if have is offered to those who take HMT).


Is this yearly affair? And each year different destination?

Just went to surf CTC’s web and realised there is Humanities trip to Taiwan Northcoast. Interesting as they have visits to hydro electric & nuclear plants.


Their Tokyo tour has earthquake simulation.

This year end only this immersion programme to taiwan available. Caroline is right, such school immersion programme usually conduct by sch(sec sch) and offer to higher MT for pri sch. I find its a rare opportunity.


If you are interested can contact Karen Yan (CTC 62163471) to check for availability. Tour leaving on the 22 nov.
