Hi melodyrain

Will be going for 12 days, 11 nights. Booked SQ but missed the super deal Paid about 2.5k for 2A1C *bang wall* so ex...

Just confirmed my stay for an apt in Taipei and Flying Cow Ranch.
If you are staying at FCR, better book asap. They told me open booking on 1 Sep 9am. I tried to book on 2 Sep, aldy full!! OMG. Emailed them and finally got a room, but not the cheapest one. Mine is for 4 pax but I only have 3. Argggh :yikes:

Hi, any good drivers to recommend for:


- airport transfer to Hsinchu + Hsinchu & Miaoli are for 2-3days
- Taichung + Nantou for a few days.

I read about in Flying Cow there are tiny insects that cause itchiness. How about if it is in Dec?

Hi melodyrain
We have almost the same itinerary!
Will be going in early Dec.
Care to exchange ideas on planning the itinerary and which parts of the itinerary to hire a driver?

Hi all,

I have a concern. My DS is going to the IFC at MFS and during a visit, the P told us that when the babies reach 8-10 months, they no longer provide a cot bed for their naps. Instead, they sleep on child mattress on the floor. I saw 2 mattresses by the wall in the tiny room cramped with 5 cots, and I can’t help but feel bad for my child.

And by the time he goes to the IFC, there will be 13 babies altogether. He’ll be able to crawl and I’m just imagining, when he wakes up from his nap, and starts crawling around, no one may notice as the teachers will all be in the main room. Besides, the mattress isn’t big enough for him to roll over when he flips. Am I unduly worried?
