Pre-Taiwan Trip : Preparations 台湾之旅 : 准备当中

Hello everybody! 

My Taiwan journey with my family is starting soon and I'm counting down now. Don't think I will have time to blog tomorrow cause I'll be leaving for the airport soon after work, so I better do it now. Hehe. My Jetstar flight is schedule at midnight tomorrow and we will reached Taoyuan International Airport in the morning at 6am on 3rd July if there's no flight delay. Excited max! I did quite a lot of preparations this time round since it's a Free and Easy trip organised by me. Have been saying how much I wanted to bring my parents to an overseas trip for too long and I always ended up going overseas with my friends, so I felt kind of guilty. They didn't even board a plane before and tomorrow will be their first time boarding a plane! Haha. So, yes they are more nervous than me. Everything from flights to accommodations is on budget since I'm the one treating. This trip is also a big birthday present for my father which falls on 3rd July! 

我要和家人去台湾旅游咯。好兴奋啊!这一次出国是我做最多准备的一次。因为是自由行,而且又带上第一次搭飞机的父母。能完成他们的心愿自己也算没有遗憾了。







 






























My cute passport to happiness! Yay~ Love my blue and orange eyes kitty passport cover!

带着我可爱的护照和愉快的心情出发咯!


























Share a tip to people travelling to Taiwan soon. Just print out your flight and accommodations confirmation, bring them to the Taiwan Visitors Association in exchange for freebies! The freebies vary monthly and we gotten 5 complimentary Taiwan EasyCards and two booklets of amusements park vouchers for the month of June. The Taiwan EasyCards can be used for the Taipei MRT and city bus transportation and small purchases at 7-Eleven, Hi-Life, FamilyMart and OK convenience stores. Quite similar to our EZ-link cards. Anyway, the Taiwan Visitors Association are opened only from Monday to Friday and below is their address and opening hours.If you are working like me, you may need to get someone to collect on your behalf.

去台湾之前,不妨带着你的飞机票和住宿的确认纸到 Taiwan Visitors Association 换取一些有用的小赠品。赠品每个月都不一样。我们换到的是悠遊卡和游乐园优惠券。有点麻烦的是他们的营业时间是从星期一到星期无而已。

Taiwan Visitors Association

Not only that, feel free to take all the relevant brochures of Taiwan for references on the shelf provided there. Haha, took so much but I've never really gone through them at all. Oops!
 
不仅如此,还可以拿一些手册回家慢慢参考!




Important thing to bring other than passport is $$$MONEY$$$! Both my mum and bro did the money exchanging at Clementi but both of them got different rates. Mum did the exchange with the Chinese Money Exchange for a rate of 1 : 22.80 while my brother exchange the money with an Indian Money Exchange and he got better rates at 1 : 23! I made a loss of TWD 200 which is about SGD 8. Lol. Ok, I don't want to be too calculative over this small matters. Now it's time to pack my luggage! Blog again in a week's time!

最后请大家记得换钱哦!$$ @@  一个星期后见~
