Hey guys,

Not sure where to put this, anyway I was wondering who has travelled to Taiwan and bought computer & tech based stuff, what suggestions would you have on where to shop. I know of Guang Hua, but am as of yet unable to find any pricelists for comparison (will be going to the US after my stop off) whether it would be cheaper to get in Taiwan or the states, and also just to have a look at some different costs. I'm comptent with bartering, engrish etc & the tech side of things so I'll be right in that regard, but I was wondering where else would those who have been there reccomend? Normally I'd find my bearings but I won't have time... so anyone else who's been there can you suggest places to go etc?

I also see the Guang Hua above, any suggestions?

Also, I will need some cheap accomodation for a 1 night stayover, YHA or any other suggestions?

As for what I'll be buying, a 17-19" lcd, another HDD, a digital camera and maybe some other normal stuff.

Cheers

But the real question was where to go, but anyway thanks for that, good reference.

Taiwan is a stop over on ym way to the states.
