Currency Exchange

[spock]

I will be visiting Taiwan soon and I am trying to figure out best way to get Taiwanese dollars, I have to buy euros or US$, which currency have better rate in Taiwan ?
Is it possible to exchange Canadian dollars ?? Do you think it is a good idea to do it at Taouyan airport? I know there is some kind of charge.

Thank you for your help!

In my own experience, I generally get a better exchange rate buying the currency in that country, not my home country. I've also noticed that banks in Taiwan give a better exchange rate for travelers checks than cash. Maybe there is less risk or a guaranteed exchange rate at the time of acceptance or something.

From what I've read here, the exchange rate at the Taoyuan Airport is the same as in town, although I can't confirm that. I've only ever exchanged money at banks in the city.

AFAIK, you could exchange CA$.
