US$160 to Tokyo - Go or no go?

With SARS gone, I went to a nearby travel agency to see whether I can arrange a short trip to Tokyo. The place was packed with customers. I had to wait 20 minutes for my turn--a good sign of recovery. I went in expecting to pay high-season prices, around US$400-US$500 roundtrip. Instead, I got quoted for US$160 to fly China Airlines, with a stopover in Taipei, and return within 7 days. No advance booking necessary. The requirements suit me just fine. With the money I save, I can almost buy a Pentax Optio S in Tokyo. Sweet. If I decide to go, I should be flying next week.
