    Your video is so organized & exact to the point..! Would you recommend reserving SIM Card in KLOOK & pick up in Taoyuan Aiport? Or simply buy SIM directly in the airport? We have luggages & kids so trying not to wait & stuck in long lines !
  • I just wonder have you been in Taipei? I don't see anything you was there.
