Sorry. That TPE->Taipei->Hsinchu approach seems work only if you can take the bus (Howtai bus) in Taipei before 1AM. The next bus sets off at 5AM. On Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 11:34 AM, Yao Wei wrote: > If you find someone else arriving at the same time, you can take taxi > since this is the easiest

Re: Access to Hsinchu late in the evening on Sat 7/28

If you find someone else arriving at the same time, you can take taxi since this is the easiest way to do. I haven't tried but it seems to be viable to take bus to Taipei, then take another bus to Hsinchu. This approach has been written in the wiki but we try to find a canonical approach to arriv

Access to Hsinchu late in the evening on Sat 7/28

Hi everyone, I am arriving from Komatsu, Japan in Taipei Taoyuan on Sat 7/28 at 21:50. Any suggestions how to move to Hsinchu at this time, anyone else arriving around this time (nothing mention on the travel schedule wiki, though). Thanks for any suggestions Best Norbert -- PREINING Norbert

Are we talking about exchanging cash or withdrawing money from the ATM? I am asking because the later can be clearly looked up on the internet. Google tells you how much “X USD in NTD” are and your bank will tell you how much they will charge you for withdrawing money abroad. It’s a bank-specifi
