10:10 AM Misscloudhouse 0 Comments

29.11.2015桃園國際機場-臺中
Flight booked from TigerAirways- $350 SGD
Before you collect your baggage, you can purchase your Taiwan SIM card.
They have different packages for different days.
I got mine from 遠傳電信 (FarEasTone), which is the middle booth. 
I do not really know what is the differences? But i just got the cheapest. 
30 days Unlimited data + NT $550 stored value = NT$800

Once you exit from the arrival gate, turn left, take the escalator down.
Since my first stop is at Taichung, there are 2 choices as shown below. 
I simply chose the one that is the earliest timing since there is no differences. 

Remember to grab some snacks/ drinks onboard as the journey is pretty long.

Bus ticket: NT $240
Duration- Approximately 2.5 hours. 
(May be delayed due to traffic conditions)
Majority of the day was spent on travelling.
I only managed to reach Taichung at around 10-ish, and finally checked in.
Backpacker 41 Hostel
No.59, Jiguang St., Central District, Taichung, Taiwan 40046
(6 min walk away from Taichung railway station/ 9 min walk from Gancheng Station)
It cost approximately $17.00 SGD/ night (10 dorm female)
I redeemed my agoda points, and thus only paid $21.00 SGD/ 3 nights.
There is a 7-11 just next to it, which makes it very convenient.
Settled my dinner there, since i ditched my plan of visiting a night market as it was pretty late.
