After breakfast we headed to the 711 to get our easy cards for the metro and buses all over Taiwan (100% you should get this card, so many places will not except cash payment and you actually get fare discounts with the card). The card itself costs 200 NTD, but we also loaded it with 400 NTD. A nice man translated this to the cashier at the 711 for us! Jives got a One Piece Easy card and I got a Hello Kitty themed one. We then checked out of our room and headed back towards Taipei 101 station. We took the metro to Taipei Main Station to get the TRA train to Ruifang for Jiufen! The machines to buy tickets are to the right of the gates to the TRA. You have to put your money in first, select the number of people, select “local” and “full fare”. There is a board to the right that says the platform and the train times for Ruifang. Make sure to take the “local” train, it should be at platform #4. We confirmed that we were onboard the correct train by asking the train staff once we were on board……cont’d on our blog
