This is our first attempt at going to an overseas country in a large group since we had children.
This time, we decided to bring along both my parents and also my younger brother, so in total there would be 8 people traveling together which include two children aged 4 and 1.
We decide to choose Taiwan because it's a place where everyone has not been to previously so we are pretty excited about our itinerary. For me, I've been to Taipei once a few years back with friends and have always been itching to go back so I'm happy that we are going this year, as one big family.
Since we're spending quite a bit of time in Taiwan, we decide to travel around different cities and in this regard, we decide to hire a private driver for places outside Taipei that are not so accessible. With the young and old among the traveller, I think it's the right choice to hire a private driver.
We found this driver in a recommended forum and our correspondence with him so far has been smooth. He will have a big Altrax car that can fit 10 people and we are hiring him for a total of 9 nights excluding Taipei but including transfer to and from Taoyuan International Airport. In total, we paid NT 62,000 for his services.

ReplyDeleteI was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
