Guest INASNT Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Yo people i made it to Taiwan without any terrorists crashing the plane into any buildings:D Ok heres a quick rundown of it so far. I got upgraded to business class from Australia to Hong Kong so it was sweet as. Waited on hand and foot, full electric seat, tv, sterio the works. Hong Kong airport is farkin massive, it has its own underground train to take you to terminals. The actual runway area is massive and would be crazy for a drift session. My hotel in Tapei is actually an appartment with 1 single bed and 1 queen bed. Tv in bedroom and flatscreen in lounge, which has 2 couches and an armchair. Has own kitchen, and huge bathroom. Now the best part, the traffic. :eek1: If u thought driving through springvale was bad, then damn multiply that by 100 and u might come close to how crazy they drive here. No 1 indicates when they wanna change lanes or pullout from road side parking, and there r millions of little scooters on the road. I am scared to even drive out the hotel. Going to get my new laptop and some other goodies from the main part of Taipei.

Guest INASNT Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Just got back from the main shops in taipei! Damn there is a whole street bought the size of chapel with just computer shops as every shop down both sides of he street!! And each is 4 levels!!! I got a new laptop ASUS P4 2.4 GHZ,DVD/Burner, 15.1 monitor, 256MB RAM, 20 GIG HD, all for $3100. There is so much electronic comp stuff around here. Going to look for sum car shops in the next few days if i get much time off work. Inark the horn is just a novality item here, at some intersections u have cars and scooters going in 5 directions when the road goes in 2:uh-huh: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/6494-greetings-from-taiwan/#findComment-96951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_turtle_ Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 haha, the traffic in the asian countries is crazy, theres no traffic laws there, u just drive but yeah, the electronics is damn cheap. laptops, md's etc. very good prices, and u can bargain em down as well. also, car gear is quite cheap, i'm not sure about taiwan, but in hong kong, stuff like gear knobs, filters, rice lites etc. are very cheap compared to here. how long r u staying there for? would love to go there, only for a holiday though.

funkymonkey Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 denham could u pick up sum electronic goods 4 me? Oh and the general rule of thumb is horn to let sum1 know your presence, if they piss you off try to run em off the road, and motorcyclists are smaller than you, therefore they must give way to you. At intersections its always first come first thru, traffic lights are merely decorative... well that's how it works in India anyways... silly backward curries.. go the lankans.
