Here's the breakdown of my expenses for five days in Taipei, Taiwan (not included below are the expenses for plane tickets and visa).
Where did most of my money go? FOOD! I spent NT$2908 (around Php 4400) for five days of eating. Before the trip, when we asked friends who have been to Taipei for recommendations on what to see and do in the city, they all answered: Eat! And eat is what we mostly did.
Note: The Mactan International Airport terminal fee increased to Php 750 starting last November 1, 2014.
