New Taiwan Dollars  NT $1000 is currently about $33 Australian dollars.

(NT$1000 has been close to $50 in past years – a bit cruel).

Get a pocket compass before arriving in Taipei.  You’ll understand why, later.

First tip will be: Catching bus from Taoyuan  airport (formerly CKS International) to Taipei Main Station.

A compass will help: fast-find departure area for buses. Otherwise taxi cost NT$1000 and no quicker.
