ZY Mom,

How was the temperature? I read in TA, some say very cold but others say very hot. I'm busy packing my luggage now, don't know if it's sufficient to pack some T-shirts + bermudas/shorts for day and jeans + jacket for night. Any advice?

Hi Blessed Homemaker,

The temperature was around 25deg at night, not cold at all. But there was 2 weeks ago, now might be different. Think the jacket and jeans for night should be enough but it's best if you could bring extra clothing in case the weather changes drastically, get caught in rain, etc... and esp if you have children in tow...

For those of us going Taiwan these 2 weeks, it is raining according to central weather bureau.

It rained everyday when I went Taipei 2 weeks ago. But it was drizzling and was short-lived. The only time it rained heavily was when we were at Window on China. It rained quite long too. And the rides were all stopped becos of the rain. End up we didn't get to take any of the rides. :sad:

So, make sure to bring an umbrella or poncho with you wherever you go.

BTW, pls also get the free gift coupon from the Taiwan Tourism Board. I didn't get the coupons cos they told me it's only pineapple tarts and free admission to National Muesum. There is actually quite alot of items to choose from, from chocolates, plums and even magnets. Luckily, my hubby's friend has extra coupons and gave us 2. I redeemed the Assam Tea Chocolates which is worth more than S$10. And it's nice too. :please:

Where to get these coupons? Where is the Taiwan Toursim Board located (in Taipei or Singapore)? What do you need to redeem the coupons - passports? airtickets?

I wrote to [email protected]. You need to email them copies of your hotel and air ticket confirmation and they will mail the coupons to you.

Hi Pen88n,

Sorry for late reply. Dimsum is right, you can email them or personally make a trip to their office in Shenton Way. Details is as follows:

Address:5 Shenton Way UIC Building
#31-11 Singapore 068808 Tel:+65 62236546

Suggest you call them 1st before making a trip down. Think they also give out 古宫博物馆 tickets free.
