25 September 2006: Taiwan and Beyond

I just did a search on the Net for the cheapest airfare rates from Taipei to other Asian cities. Please guess which of the follwing cities is the cheapest to travel to:

1. Tokyo
2. Seoul
3. Ho Chi Minh
4. Hong Kong

And to my surprise, the answer is actually (2)! It costs about SGD 400+ for one adult ticket on Korea's national carrier (inclusive of airport tax). I wonder if Korean Air is good though. My dear friend Daniel loves Korea, and he had been there before. How fun can Korea be? Hmmm......

By the way, just to enhance my knowledge of these things and the like: Where can I get the cheapest airfares online? I've heard that booking straight from the airliner websites may cost me a bomb. More specifically, are there any cheap tickets to both HONG KONG and Seoul?
