				Hey everybody.
 
 
I need to make a visa run from Kaohsiung and I have like no money.  What is the cheapest way to do it?  Hong Kong, Phillipines, Okinawa?
 
 
Any travel agent info or awesome insights are welcome.
 
 
Thanks for everything.

				You might look at the price difference of flying to Hong Kong and Macau.  MAcau used to be cheaper, but then you would bneed to get the boat to Hong Kong,  If your in a hurry and dont know the area well I would suggest Hong Kong as most people use it.
 
Im sure Wally or one of the kaoshung resiudents might be able to put you on to a good travelk agent down there. |

				This won't help you now because of the season, but for others' reference, you can take a one-day cruise into international waters and back (from spring to fall), which is cheaper than flying.  This only works, however, before your visa expires.[/url]

				Well, the travel agent that I use for any trips is a great guy named Barry Fang. His English is very good, and he has always been very honest, and reliable. He even delivers our tickets to our school! He accepts credit cards, but if you pay cash it will be slightly cheaper.
 
 
Here is his contact info.
