Hey,
1)Wu Fen Pu is a must go. Cheap shopping. Trendy for guys and girls. Spend @ least a whole day there (if you like shopping la). Then go to the Night mkt near there for dinner. Nice food.
2)Shilin Night Mkt is the best. The rest of them are crap. Really. =P
Dont go to HuaXi. It's really touristy. Not many locals.
3)Go to Taipei 101. After that, walk to New York New York and eat Cold Stone Creamery. It's icecream but I swear u wont regret.
4)The Beitou spring is damn shiok but quite ex so can go and chill.
5)Must go Dan shui (loads to eat) and Yu Ren Ma Tou (Go during sunset. Damn nice.)
6)Dont go Taipei Underground shopping centre. All aunties' stuff.
7)Taiwan's shopping centres stuff are all DAMN EX. Worse than Spore so no point.
8)XMD is just a place to see and be seen. Things are quite ex too. You should just shop more @ WFP la. Go to XMD just to experience what the teens there do.
9)Must ask ur gf to go to Watsons there to buy makeup. It's makeup haven there..
Enjoy the trip and be prepared for the Taiwanese girls' "teh-ness". Hah.. =P

Think it is too late...
please remember to bring enough Taiwan dollars...
They dun accept credit cards and during the weekends it is impossible to change Singapore Currency as they dun accept it all....
Mostly USD or Jap Yen...
and the only place that can change money is at the banks but they dun open during weekends!!!!

But it is a very fun place.
