TAIWAN TRIP ADVISORY:D

During our trip to Taiwan, we visited many places of interests. Let us share some of our views of the different places:
RF Pretty Hotel 4/5
Good points: 
The toilet was relatively clean
The hotel was rather spacious
There were only a few rooms on each level to reduce the noise level
The service is good and they even kept our hotel cards for us 


Neutral point: 
The walls were thin and not sound-proof
The breakfast is repeated and it was a bit boring to eat the same thing everyday, they should have variations

Room for improvement: 
There was limited space in the hotel for us to gather to do our reflection. 


Taipei 101 3.5/5
Good points: 
The "phone" was a great way of introducing their landmarks
We had a great night view of Taiwan from the top 
Many shops to produce higher income

Room for improvement:
The wait for the lift was extremely long, they could have more lifts 
There was a demonstration or a mini riot outside Taipei 101 and there was no security to ensure safety

National palace museum 3/5
Good points: 
The advanced technology aided in our learning (Tour guide's speaker linked to our headphones) 


Room for improvement: 
There could have been more order, they should control the groups of tourists entering the museum to avoid congestion

Shung Ye museum 1.5/5
Good points: 
Different themes were split to be showcased on different levels for easier understanding of what was going on

Room for improvement:
The guide could have made the introduction more interesting so we can pay better attention 
They should have a small hole so we can put our hands through the holes and touch the less fragile artefacts like the gold museum
There could have been more vibrant displays to attract our attention 
The service for the guides could have been more efficient



Shifen 4/5
Good points: 
There was a huge variety of good food to taste 
The releasing of sky lanterns was an interesting activity
There were different routes to explore

Room for improvement: 
The roads could have been more even 
We should be given more space and different coloured inks to write our wishes
We should be given a larger space. 



Jian Guo 4/5
Good points: 
Students were very welcoming and passionate in their performance for us
We should be given a chance to try their canteen food 
We should stay there longer to experience their CCAs


Room for improvement:
The building is old, which doesn't give a good overall impression. 

Chiang Kai Shek & Sun Yat Sen memorial hall (3/5)
Good points: 
Informative and showed us a side of the two forefathers that we've never studied in history.

Room for improvement:
There could have been more order by having barriers that will force us to stand properly in rows and columns so that everyone can have a better view
We could have spent less time there and not re-watch the changing of guards again



Xi Men Ding (4.5/5)
Good points: 
They have trendy things that are sold at cheaper prices compared to bugis and orchard
The atmosphere of the place is very high, making shoppers get into the mood for shopping

Room for improvement: 
Clean toilets should be available for shoppers
They should categorise the type of shops so that the street becomes more accesible


Martys shrine (1/5)
Room for improvement:
There could have been a guide to give us a short introduction to the place such as the history behind the war etc.
We should spend less time there and not re-watch the changing of guards again
There wa nothing to learn or observe at the place excluding the change of guards


Eslite bookstore (3/5)
Good points: 
The bookstore was huge and quiet, making it a very nice area to rest and enjoy the books
They sold different items there, not only books, such as specific areas which sold bags, soft toys, albums and illusional and magical items.


Room for improvement:
They should introduce some books in simplified chinese as well
We should be given less time there because there wasn't much variety of books there 


Wulai (4/5)
Good points:
The students were all very friendly
Their lessons were very hands-on, a different kind of learning experience.

Room for improvement:
They should have cleaner toilets
They should provide us soaps as we are supposed to wash our utensils after our meals


Raohe Night Market (4/5)
Good points: 
The food was affordable and delicious
There was a wide variety of food for tourists to enjoy

Room for improvement: 
The streets could have been longer as we took a very short time to finish walking the whole street
They should have a better backup plan if it rains besides just using canvas for sheltering 
Most stalls are unhygienic. 

Confuscius temple(2/5)
Good points: 
4-D movie screening to allow us to learn more about confucius was very informative

Room for improvement:
They should put up boards for description of each building

Gold museum(2/5)
Good points: 
There were many different types of gold showcased with a detailed description for each item.
We were able to touch the biggest gold 


Room for improvement: 
There should be a guide to introduce the history of the place 
The place where the videos have been played should have more seats 

Jiufen (3/5)
Good points: 
The food there is affordable and are great for souvenirs 

Room for improvement: 
There should be more variety of food.
The prank toys there was special and unique
Dustbins and toilets were hard to find-- inconvenient
Place rather dirty and unhygienic
