and the homeware section.
I walked around the store and looked at the clothes. Now I must admit there is still an element of granny clothes there which is fair enough as we cannot have granny walking around starkers! I passed this section of clothes and became pleasantly suprised a range of modern clothes aimed at the 20s and 30s something people. The prices were a bit expensive but not over expensive, sort of middle of the road. I bought a black pin striped skirt for £12 and it was marked up with the size and the skirt was lined. I then bought a suit which was reduced and cost me £50. What a luxury.
I then went over to have a look at the shoes and eventually settled on a pair worth £30. I must admit when reading the label I was suprised to find they were made in taiwan. British Home Stores, BHS, Taiwan mmm doesnt quite go does it ...
Advantages: see review Disadvantages: distance, language
I was afraid of my stay for one-day stopover without prebooking any hotel in Taiwan to Hanoi. I had been arrived early in the morning at 7.30 a.m. and the flight to Hanoi was departing the next day at 7 a.m. The airport, which should close at night, is 50 km from Taipei city and I was told that people shouldn?t speak hardly English and all is written in Chinese characters.

Advantages: Erm, it's a major airport Disadvantages: Read below
Well, firstly, this is in the wrong catergory. Thre are two airports serving Taipei, the one mentioned above, and the major one named TPE. Make sure you know which one you'll be flying into. TAY is in the middle of the city and has small jets serving Taiwan and other close locations. TPE has the big jets serving the rest of the world.
Right, having got that out of the way, some facts. Firstly, before anyone complains, this willo be a short opinion. This is due mainly to the lack of facilities at the airport.
Arrival: I arrived at TPE from Singapore on Singapore Airlines. I'd paid £1000 for a business class flight from singapore. The economy fare was pretty much the same. If you are planning to fly to TPE, make sure it's a consolidated fare. If you buy any tickets outside of the originating country in SEA (south east asia) you will ...
