Tune Hotel +60379625888 enquiry@tunehotels.com
Small and overpriced double room for a stiff MYR 103.80 or US$ 34.20 per night (booked over the internet, long ago); bad value, but this is the only budget hotel near the airport’s low-cost carriers terminal (LCCT).
Beer: 320-ml cans of non-halal, smooth Anchor Strong Beer (8.8 % alc./vol.) for MYR 7.40 or US$ 2.45 per regular can from the 7-Eleven convenience store in front of the Tune Hotel.

"Even if I were knocked down by a gunshot it wouldn't affect our democracy and I wasn't knocked down and I have great confidence in our democracy and in Taiwan and in the people of Taiwan."
Flying uneventfully with Air Asia X (“Now Everyone Can Fly Xtra Long”) in a clean Airbus A 330-300 from Kuala Lumpur’s KLIA-LCCT Sepang to Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport, formerly Chiang Kai-Shek International Airport, for US$ 147.90 per person, one way, all inclusive, without changing our watches from Malaysia Standard Time (GMT/UTC + 8:00 hours) to Taiwan’s National Standard Time (GMT/UTC + 8:00 hours), being issued with a 90-day-visit permit to the Republic of China on arrival (visa exemption without any red tape), free of charge, and taking thereafter an efficient Kuo Guang bus +886800010138 (25 km, ¾ hours, TWD 230.- per person, return) straight into the city centre of Taipei and to our old friend John’s comfy and cheap Happy Family Hostel with the best hostel atmosphere in downtown Taipei: “Ni hao!”
