Hello Dan, you are truly different then the other travel vloggers, very sincere and honest. You always view every human being with respect. I appreaciate that
Wow! 11:17 - proof that sometimes you can spend all day looking for something to film, but other times unbelievable content comes looking for you! 🙂 Brilliant video, Dan - Taiwan looks amazing!
Brother I f*cking love your channel. I discovered it this week and have been binge watching videos. It is my dream to travel like you do someday and these make me really excited for the future. You’re really good at giving us a look at new and exciting places. Cheers from the US!
I believe that ceremony has nothing to do with Chinese new years. Might be either celebration of the goddess Matsu and or the Nine emperors. I think Hokkien people mainly celebrate this event. My observation 😌
So, if you cut your head it bleeds like crazy even if it's not a very deep cut; you see the same stuff in MMA/boxing/kickboxing or even professional wrestling where it's done intentionally(not sure if they still do that, but growing up in the 90s it was definitely a thing), a shallow forehead or upper brow cut that bleeds all over the place... In this case, I imagine those pointed blades create a bunch of small cm~ incisions in the scalp. Also, if this gent was being powered by both the spirits of the land & spirits of that bottle, well, that will thin your blood a little bit further & cause you to bleed more. I mean, in the west bloodletting was a common practice until pretty recently. In fact, that's what the red stripe in the barber's pole represents to some extent. A bit jarring for westerners to see these days, maybe, but my assumption is probably for a healthy individual, especially a male that doesn't undergo menstruation monthly, or even a female that has adequate iron intake, you're probably fine(no idea if this custom is undergone by women also, or men only). Probably stings like hell for a few days though ! Pretty exciting tradition and great to see recorded organically like this. Good stuff !
they have these temple festivals and parades all the time, they're notionally related to daoism and local traditions and folk beliefs like the eight generals. the young guys who hang around at the temples and do the events are basically the boy scouts wing of the local gangs. most neighbourhood temples have some gang connection and the kids who hang around at them all day smoking, drinking, and chewing the betel nuts are like the first-rank hoodlums, haha. totally harmless if you're a foreigner. those chewing nuts in particular are associated with the working class and gangsters in taiwan. it's funny to see young kids chewing them because it's normally a thing for the real old-timers. every time i went to tainan there would be some parade on a street or people letting off firecrackers all over the place. true taiwan!
Why have a 9 to 5? Because if nobody did then nothing would get done . If your in Taiwan still find a re chao restaurants, they are great. Or a MA LA hot pot
love your videos mate but you need to drink alcohol those videos were much better and possibly you will get more subscribers 😊 big up lad and keep it up 💪

Those tattooed guys are all gangsters.
In Shiite tradition, they do the same celebrating imam hussain… kinda messed up who’s who. That also why Sunni Muslim called Shiite bad rep
Their traditions looks really painful, first the fireworks and now this. Ouch!
Taiwan has just moved to the top of the list of countries I want to visit 👍🏻 🇹🇼

After seeing these videos i gotta go to Taiwan, looks absolutely mad.
