Not sure whether I've made a rash decision or not, but today I decided to book a return flight to Taipei. Qantas point offer for a classic award booking with China Airlines was just too attractive to ignore and I was very surprised to find direct business class seats available during NSW school holidays. Taxes also very good value.
So I've got a flight from Sydney to Taipei on October 1. Returning to Australia after 10 nights.
Never been here before, so would be very grateful for any information previous travelers have on things like, where to stay in Taipei, where to eat in Taipei, must see places in Taipei, transport in Taipei, etc. Also interested in ideas of what to do for a 2 or 3 night trip somewhere out of Taipei – suggestions of where to go/how to get there, approximate cost etc.
Welcome any and all suggestions – even those that may think that I've made a rash decision. I can still cancel for just a 5000 point QFF penalty.
Any comments on the lounge for China Airlines in Taipei?
Buy some local currency before I get there? Or is it easy to change AUD$ or US$ into local currency when on the ground?
