Taiwan Trip Preparation Work

Before leaving to Taiwan, I have search through lots of forums and site regarding Taiwan information.
There are 4 things you can do to minimize the travel cost.

1)Apply FREE MRT Card
Found out Taiwan Tourism Board is giving out free MRT Card to tourist who visit Taiwan this year, 2010.
The MRT card is pre-loaded worth NT50 as well. The card worth NT 500. Total saving = NT550= RM55 ^.^
To obtain the FREE MRT card and map, just follow these steps:

a) Write a letter request for items required such as map and MRT.
b) Prepare a self-envelope with sufficient stamps.
c) Send to this address:
Taiwan Visitors Association KL Office
Suite 25-01, Level 25, Wisma Goldhill,
67 Jalan Raja Chulan,
50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

2)Apply DIGITAL Tour Buddy Phone
Beside that, you'll need to apply for Digital Tour Buddy phone. The phone is pre-loaded with NT100. You may use the credit to book room/taxi or even enquiry on any Taiwan travel information. This will help you save money to buying a Taiwan Sim card and reload card.
a)Please go to this link http://tour.youthtravel.tw/travel2009/1310.php and click Join for free to register as member.

4) Book for Accomodation
I have searched through and google many sites and found out this BabyHome offer is the best. You may use it as a reference.

The room rate is NT1950 for 4 person, two queen size bed. Located at XiMending, 2-5 minutes walking distance to XiMenDing station.We have book two nights for this room. For this trip, our accomodation cost is NT2600 per pax = RM260 for 5 nights. Very cheap to stay in Taiwan compare to HK or Macau. ^.^
