I have been waiting for the right time to post this in my blog... and it has come - I just won 200 NT$ (about 6 US Dollars) in the Taiwan Uniform-Invoice Lottery! Well, it's not really that much. It took me more than a hundred receipts before I got lucky. All you have to do is KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS! The receipt number is your "ticket" to the Taiwan Uniform-Invoice Lottery. There's also a line on top which will tell you the draw "month". In this case, my receipt shows "9-10" (hard to see on the... Read more

I bet you've heard of this restaurant before... Now who in his right mind would try to eat in a toilet' Fortunately, it's just a theme - whew! Anyway, since I was visiting Kaohsiung over the weekend, I tried it. To go to the Modern Toilet Restaurant, you have to take the Red KMRT line (yep, there are two lines now, the Orange line opened up a few weeks ago... but I'll write about that on another post).If you're at the Kaohsiung Main Station, take the train that goes to the direction of...

From A Pinoy's Guide to Taiwan, 10 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

One thing that I've noticed when I arrived in Taiwan is there's scooters everywhere. It's the most popular way to get around Taiwan. Parking problems' Traffic Jams' No Problemo! Not in Taiwan. You could fit about 4 scooters in a parking space (and road space) of a regular car. Check these out. It's like a scooter wonderland! People get around much faster on scooters - this means you have no reason to be late for your appointment! Taiwan's roads have special lanes for scooters. They even have a... Read more

A friend of mine showed me an unusual 10NT$ coin. At first, I thought it was a just another shiny coin, but upon close inspection, I found that it's a bit different. The coin on the left is the regular 10NT$, the coin on the right is the shiny "unusual" one.On the "face" side, the portraits are different too:The one on the left (the regular 10NT$) is Chiang Kai Shek. The one on the right (the shiny one) is Dr. Sun Yat Sen.I checked up the website of Taiwan's Central Bank but did not find any... Read more

KaohSiung City - The Big City at the South of Taiwan

From A Pinoy's Guide to Taiwan, 10 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

KaohSiung City (???) is Taiwan's second largest City and it's largest international seaport. If you're looking for a place in Taiwan with a warm climate, KaohSiung is the place. It also has a lower cost of living compared to the other Cities of Taiwan (lower bus fares and taxi-flag down rates). KaohSiung's MRT is now partially up and running (I heard there's a free ride for 1 week this week!), so getting around would be a breeze! So here's how to travel to KaohSiung. There are a number of ways... Read more

Taiwan Calendar System - What's wrong with my Orange Juice'

From A Pinoy's Guide to Taiwan, 10 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles

You might notice something weird when buying food in Taiwan. A lot of stuff expired 11 years ago! Check out the orange juice I bought on the picture - the expiration day states 97 03 01. Nope, there's nothing wrong with this orange juice. Some stuff in the convenience store show the year "97" and some show the correct year (2008). But what's with the "best consumed before 1997" thing' Well, it's not really 1997... It's not 1997 AD - Christians, and most of the world, follow the AD format since... Read more
