      Understand not easy to shop for clothes in Taiwan at this time of year, as they sell mostly winter clothings. A pity though, I would really love to get their clothings as cheap and more fashionable too.

      Yup, the clothes are really cheap. Even the Hongkong businessmen and women went there to get their stock. Far East Plaza shops are selling like 2-3 times more expensive than wufenpu. One salesgirl told us the best time for us to come is Sep/Oct when they are clearing the summer stock to make way for autumn/winter wear. Prices are slashed further. If I had come during that period, I must bring alot more cash!!!

        Just come back Taipei and had us Mr. Wu for my transfer. He is really very patient and accommodating. His mini Van got no problem to squeeze us, we had 7 adults and 3 kids and we feel very spacious. Except when the airport transfer time which we had alot of luggage and need to squeeze a bit. But if without luggage, the van can accommodate us and still spacious.

            Hi everyone, I need some advice on booking train from Taipei to Hualian online. I initially checked up the timetable and realised can only book 2 weeks in advance. Now I went in trying to book for Dec, and after booking, realised tickets have to be collected within 2 days (person not in Taipei yet how to collect tickets??). Can anyone advise how you go about getting the train tickets to Hualian and if I were to buy later, is it possible that it will be fully booked? Any other advice? Thanks

                The 1st and 2nd days rain heavily and the rest of the day is cloudy with occasionally light rain only. Can be quite cold when there is rain and wind. But for me I prefer cold sometime I just wear my Tee.

                    Yes you will need a thicker jacket especially you are traveling around. You need it especially for the kids.

                      If you can, get those thicker jacket with hood and "windbreaker" type so that won’t get wet too.
