    Beware of money changer in Sabang: TropiXXX restaurant

    Credit Card needs 5%-10% surcharge here, the nearest ATM maybe in Batangas( or Calapan). The money changer has the right to accept the TC or not, but please ask me the original receipt before I sign it. We are talking about a 500usd TC, not 500 peso.

    Advise for diving in Kending, Taiwan in mid March?

    As I know,it's not very easy to find a boat diving during weekdays. The diving boats usually operate their activity in the weekend (or holiday). They operate their boat at least for 6 customer. Shore diving is very tough at Kending, if you are planing to go to the most beautiful dive site...

    Diving in Taiwan

    It's not a good idea to visit Orchid island now, no ferry boat, only 19 seats do-228 can get there(depending on weather condition). It's a good idea to visit Green Island in winter, no typhone, fewer people there, good visibilty. I went diving last week in Kenting, cool water (24C-26C), poor...

    Yonaguni dive trip from Taiwan/Taipei

    NO, Taiwan and Japan has territory issue and Yonaguni is just in that disputed area. In Taiwan, we just only go diving in Green Island and Orchid island. (also located in Pacific ocean and controlled by Taiwan, maybe 100 miles away from Yonaguni.)

    PG Newbie

    If you want to use public transportation system, I suggest you spend one night in Manila, then taking the Si-Kat/Swagman Bus-ferry to PG. It's too difficult to use public transportation to get PG on the same day if your flight arrive Clark at 4pm. I will go to PG on 23/May, and arrive Manila...

    Tulamben v. Menjangan

    Fewer people at Menjangan.I have been there 2 yrs ago, staying at Minpi Resort. Fewer western tourists visit there, great landscape. But getting there, you will have a 4 hrs mountain road on your way. (believe me, your car will climb by a volcano lake about 2000m high) Tulanben is not far...

    airport hotel for overnighting in Taipei?

    Agree with Pakman. The CKS airport to Taipei city will be a terrible experience to you. (maybe 2 hrs in rush hour AM8-10, PM5-7) We don't have airport express like Hongkong airport, so try to find some place near CKS is the best ideal.

    Diving + nightlife

    But Bali is bigger than Phuket and the dive site is far way from night-life area. It's about 2 hrs from Tulanben to Kuta, 4 hrs more on a mountain road from Menjagen to Kuta.

    Airline Choice

    The official name of Taiwan is Republic of China (Not PR China), this is why a Taiwanese Aieline called China Ailines. Taiwan is only the island's name, not our country name.
