Taipei Ho ...

So as can be seen on the front page, I'll be speaking at YAPC::Taipei in March. My wife is Taiwanese, so I've been there twice before. But going without her will be odd, especially when I visit my in-laws, because I don't speak much Chinese and they don't speak much English.

It'll definitely be interesting. (And I speak maybe a dozen words of "Chinese", some mandarin, some cantonese).

Now it's time to play the ever-fun "find cheap flights" game

Airlines

I like Eva Air (www.evair.com). Taiwan's other airline, China Airlines, is slightly cheaper, but has a poor safety record. Of course, it may be cheaper for you to take an American airline, though the Taiwanese ones have better service.

*nod* Thanks (and sorry for not getting back to you on that pointer by mail). My dad has a favorite consolidator who can often work magic on flights to Asia. I've promised him that I'll check out her details, but I hadn't previously heard of Eva. Thanks!
