Popular Warnings or Dangers | Miscellaneous Warnings or Dangers Tips | All Tips (42) If you have Taiwan NT note with you.... check your 100 and 500 notes.... you might find that it is quit similar in the color...
I am not sure about the local but it sometimes confused me as a traveller. give out 500 as 100.... as Taiwanese, one shopkeepers was mistaken the 500 as 100 too....
I think who travel to Taiwan just make sure you are very careful with these notes, you might end up lossing a lot money if you not realise it. Leave a Comment

Money changers/money exchange outlets are not abound in Taipei. Transactions are limited to intl. airport, dept. stores, banks (weekdays only) and hotels. Don't expect money changers in every street corner. If you splurged all your NT$ on your night market shopping spree, tough luck! Leave a Comment

To avoid exhaustion under the hot sun, feel free to use cabs. They are very cheap. However, make sure they understand where you want to go. Sometimes, they can bring you to a destination other than the desired one, perhaps on purpose to get a hire fare from you.
Alternatively, you can use the metro. But, don't eat, drink or even chew gum in the metro system, lest you get a fine!
Finally, you can simply walk about the city. However, if you do, watch out for the hardcore traffic. The scooters are especially problematic as they often zigzag in between cars and are easily missed until the very last moment. And they often go on the sidewalks.
Don't drink tap water and watch what you eat. Pay for a decent hotel if you don't like roaches. Leave a Comment

When you're about to cross a street and the walk signal just turns green, make sure there's no thru traffic coming from your left. People here normally catch the very last moment of yellow lights and some even run red, and they may not clear the intersection in time.
So, bear in mind that you'd better wait an extra one or two seconds after the "little green man" starts to walk(i.e., green signal) and look left (at least peripherally) before you can walk more safely. Other Contact: albertx46@hotmail.com
