*All prices are based on my own experience with a little help of Google. Please let me know if you find any item to be particularly off.
*There is a wide price range of hotels and hostels in Taipei, the price really reflects the accessibility (location), size of room, additional services and other factors. 
*There are  many discounts and free events for ladies, and different clubs have different calculation methods, but from my sparse experience, usually the entrance fee is NT700.
*I am stabbing myself in the thigh for showing you how cheap cigarettes are in Taiwan, because I absolutely hate it when people smoke, but I included it to show you chronic traveling smokers that you don’t have to pack any packs.
