We wake up very early that day, As the Driver pick us up at 9am below our flat.
We arrive the Airport at 10am. Having our Breakfast @ Kopitiam...
Checked in luggage at 11.30pm... Board Flight at 1.20pm...

Btw, The Seat in Jetstar for me is really too tight. Leg room too small.
Even you adjust the seat to lean down also not so comfortable.
If possible have your lunch first so that at flight you won't spend unnecessary $ for the meal.

If you travel in group, it will be better to charter a transport.
And get their local prepaid card so that won't have mobile bill shock.

By the time we reached hotel is 8pm. We quickly bath changed and meet for dinner.
Eats at Ximending for 鲁肉饭 NT$25/bowl.

As for Clubbing, The famous Club in Taipei is Luxy. But we going to Club18 instead...
At first we having difficulty to go there, cos the Taxi Driver doesn't know where to club.
We have to call our Taiwan Friend to check, etc etc...

Source told us that clubbing area is around Taipei101 so we decided to Take cab there.
Cab fare NT$200. With the cold wind blow, we walk around and ask...
Btw, the clubbing area is at underground. and I realise that the Taiwan girl are very pretty.
They wear very high heels, wear very less clothing and the tempreture is only 18°C.
really is 爱美不要命.
