From: Nguyen Quoc on 13 Dec 2009 02:27 hi, am planning to go to taiwan next 2010 since airasia giving cheap prices. 1. when is the better time to visit taiwan? mid-sept to early oct? or late-oct to mid-november? i'm not into typhoons, so it's better to choose time when there is less typhoons :) how's the waether like at that time? 2. how many days are needed to explore taiwan? i still don't know where to go, but i plan to visit hot spring and do some snorkling at beach. is 1 week is enough? or better 2 weeks? 3. how is english language used at taiwan? i can't speak chinese and i'll go alone, so language will be the biggest barrier. thanks! _____________________ http://www.waytovietnam.com Vietnam vacation, vietnam resort http://www.tracevietnam.com Saigon Travel Guide http://www.waytohalong.com Halong Cruise, Cruise Halong bay Vietnam
From: A Mate on 13 Dec 2009 07:32 Later in the year you leave it the cooler it gets. We were there in August this year - and 'enjoyed' Typhoon Morakot. 1 week is just barely enough time to view the highlights. Two weeks and you'll see more stuff in depth - in fact that's also enough time for a tour of the whole island. English is understood sufficiently for you to have an enjoyable time. The people are very hospitable - and go out of their way to help tourists. Food is great. Night markets unmissable. In Taipei - use the 'Metro'. Buy an 'Easycard'. It covers all public transport in the city. The metro is fast, a/c, on time and efficient. Taxis in Taipei are also metered, cheap and honest (unusually for Asia!!). Have Fun. We did!!!
