The tickets have been booked and the humble amount of 5000 Yen has been paid as an advance. Thankfully, it did not take too much time. Just a couple of hours were needed. The initial enquiries at H.I.S and No.1 Travels were a bit frightening.
A direct flight to Bangkok return ticket was quoted from the ridiculous price of 65000 yen to the "quite expensive" 56000 yen. I called up a few other agents but 56,000 looked like the cheapest ticket.
And then I happened to stumble upon www.across-travel.com. Not that it is the greatest web site or travel agent in the world, but it gave me a cheaper option, of only 40,000 yen !!!( Taxes included). Of course, there is a catch, that it is
not a direct flight and I spend nice 4 and a half hours at taipei airport. 15,000 yen is good money saved for that much time, could be put for some good use somewhere else.
Naoko from the travel agency spoke decent english. She's adviced me to check if I need a visa for taiwan. Should remember that. Off to shibuya this weekend then to pay the advance 5000 yen then !!!
