Taiwan trip (23 Oct – 30 Oct ’09)

December 27th, 2009

This is my first trip to travel with Airasia X. It is boring and tiring throughout the entire flight. The most disappointment is the seats are not adjustable and really tired. Even the express bus’s seating also much more comfortable than the seating in Airasia X. Luckily, this trip is really fantastic and enjoyable. I will definitely pay a 2nd visit again!

Before departing, there are tons of information can be obtained through the Taiwan Visitors Association, Kuala Lumpur Office. The people there are kind enough to answer all your inquiries and here i get my 2 Hot Spring Vouchers for FREE & 2 travel booklets. Photos posted at the bottom…

Day 1 : K.L – Taipei – Dinner

Day 2 : Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall – Taipei 101 – Wufenpu
