- What better way to see a city..? Join me as I try to walk 20 miles across Taipei to see as much as I can see. From the Democratic Memorial to the National Palace Museum finishing, I hope, at Xiangshan 'Elephant Mountain'.

Your brand of travel journalism is phenomenal. I appreciate that you showcase parts of the locale that are rarely seen. I appreciate that you give us insight into the historical significance of the places you visit with your best efforts to offer the perspective of the people that live there. And I truly enjoy that you don't mind showing your movement between locations. I feel like I get to see the places you visit, not just the tourist spots.
Wow, thank you so much for such a kind comment. I really appreciate that so much!
It's really amazing how you're able to just walk...forever. haha looking forward to more of these!
I'll do anything to avoid real life.
Wow Democracy Square is so cool! Thanks for taking us there, and showing us a bit of the changing of the guard!
I love how these videos make me feel like I really know what these places look like. I love traveling vicariously through you
Same!
MJ Quote of the day. "I'm only going this way, cause there's no other way"... This is how I feel most of the time.
It's my Mantra
Your look of satisfaction at the end really made me smile. Your commitment to task is impressive. Thanks for taking us along with you. And thanks for remembering Pop and a Bar at the end.
Has a drink ever been more earned? I think not! An impressive effort, seen through to the end - I applaud you!
The dehydration really added to the taste I think.
I'm so glad you are continuing to travel. These are my favorites.
This is amazing! I couldn't be more jealous
There's no way I could walk past a museum without going in :). I'm looking forward to seeing the countryside.
I'm going back to Taipei in a few days so I'm hoping to actaslly go in this time for sure!
“Hapikle” is a portmanteau of the words “happy” and “Bikkle,” a popular milk beverage in Japan that will remind you of both yogurt and sweet probiotic drinks. This canned chu-hi beverage only has 3% alcohol content, so you don’t have to worry about getting a hangover. You can't go wrong with the balance of sweetness and milkiness in every sip!
Sounds interesting! I will have to look for this one at the local asian markets.
It was really good! I've had many more since...
Thumbs up for the lil kitty 🐈
There is a video coming very soon that I think you'll like...
Amazing walk through Taipa / Taiwan AND petting of cats!!! Awesome, Amazing, and will watch again !!!
10/10 !!!!!
Thank you for the support Slivers. There's a video coming that you will enjoy for sure
@5:25 Scritches! There are other things that bring me joy, just not as much as this. When cats flip the switch and take over the world, they'll pause (paws?) at Matthew.
"Not that one," they'll say, "he gave scritches 'round the world."
haha, I hope so man.
"I hate Taiwanese crosswalks" would be a good bumper sticker idea.
Merch baby!
Going on a 20-km walk to do some walking, yay!
You are a madman, sir - I'm here for it.
Those treks always include moments of "why am I doing this?" but the payoff is always great. I also really want to try that drink now, sounds delicious!
The challenge makes it worth it in the end I think. Thank you Carrie.
"This tastes like when the Power Rangers got back together." "I need something inside me... in a food sense." Some great Matt Jude quotes in this video
At least you're not limping!
Cheers buddy. I appreciate your support!
A vacation with you would be such an adventure! Exhausting ... but an adventure!
People have said it's not as relaxing as they had hoped...
I watched this whole video while eating and drinking and relaxing after work! Good and fun narration, Matthew! I am always sucked in.
Well, what better way to watch!
You are amazing... Efficiency be damned! Congratulations on your crosswalk marathon. Loved the map at the start... maybe checking back in on it or showing the way you intended to go but didn't or calculating how far you actually had left to go every time you said we were halfway there... lol. Stray dogs and cats are definitely a theme... maybe these could be highlighted in the edit.. Little paw prints across the screen... "Furry Find" or "Wondering Whiskers." Can we indiscriminately name the animal? On the recap, today we met Thomas and Phillis... odd that we meet so many Philliseses. I also desperately want to see you awkwardly holding your recording device while talking to people... asking them questions about life. Matthew, make sure to stay hydrated... where are we going next? Excited to see.
PS: I had the 69th view... I feel special...
I'm trying to get better at talking to people, I really think that would help the episodes, I promise to try! And yeah, next is the Philippines then Malaysia.
Yes, you could have been in that park 😂...
Excellent city walking video, I like your presentation a lot.
This was great. You have the right idea, just walking around and exploring is the best part of going someplace new. I wish I had your stamina. I can only imagine what an amazing experience it was. Thanks for sharing just a little bit of that with us.
Well thank you Dani for joining me on the adventure. I wouldn't have gone if it wasn't for people like you who might want to watch.
I'm happy you're back on the road. I really look forward to seeing your travel logs!
Thank you for the support!
If you have any kind of smart watch / fitness band, that had be some interesting data to look at after climbing the steps
Wow, congratulations on completing that walk! And your reaction to the drink (at 19:34) was so great to see! I want to try it now.
Ambie... it was so good!
Yay~~~ So proud of you! That was A LOT of walking.🎉
Other mountains are on the way! Thank you for your support!
Hi Matthew, newer subscriber here and glad to see a new video in Taipei Taiwan. Can tell that you enjoy walking, as it seems like every video you sure get in your steps for the day. I enjoy your Pop In The Bar portions as you alway describe what you are trying very well. We can almost taste it. Wanted to say how much I enjoyed your Kosovo series and so glad you captured the footage of that cute dog Prince and trying the Goulash with the guy from the hotel. Enjoy your British accent and determination so looking forward to more videos of Taiwan.
Thank you Ben, I always appreciate your comments! And little prince was a dreamboat.
Fantastic! Keep exploring. Be safe.
I'll certainly try to try!
I hope you find a friendlier dog and more cats! Also, excellent work as always.
There's a lot of cats in an upcoming video... a lot
Great seeing this... been awhile since i was in Taipei!
Thank you fo watching, I really enjoyed my time there
I really enjoyed this. We do these kind of lunatic walks when we go abroad. Of course, now a bit ancient and with an artificial hip I might be slowed up a bit, but it won’t stop me trying. Shame about the lack of Elephant Mountain View’s or lack thereof. But at least you got there. We climbed Mount Fuji over two days and I know there are extensive views from the summit and a ma-hoo-sive crater, but only because I saw it in a postcard. Actually being there you could barely see a hand in front of your face. But we made it. I have a photograph of me and the missus at the summit looking less than thrilled and very, very wet to prove it. (Our tipple of choice on that trip was the enticingly named ‘Pocari Sweat’).
P.S. Incidentally in the park with the stone path, to maintain conceptual continuity to quote Frank Zappa, I like to think that’s Paula rolling about on it in the background.
Haha, it. would have been great for Paula to have been here with me. And I think we are like minded for sure, climbing Mt Fuji is on my list for Japan no question! Thank you Ian
@@YesLandTravel Oh yes, do Mount Fuji, definitely. It’s not a ‘wilderness experience’ by any means. Something of a procession to begin with, lots of large huts (one of which will be your overnight stop so you can rise at stupid o’clock to be on the crater rim to see the dawn come up, as is tradition), a fantastic display of a multitude of head torches heading up path in the dark, young Japanese gulping air from canisters (yes, they sell you a bottle of fresh air if you think you want it - slow paced climbing avoids the need for this rip off!) and a parade of shops on the crater rim beyond the massed ranks of the video cameras set up on the rim to catch the sunrise. You can buy a wooden walking staff at the bottom (or at ‘Fifth Station’ where nearly everybody starts) which you can get branded at several shops/huts on the way with the kanji for the stop/station, with the final one being on the summit crater rim. I’m a bit sad I didn’t invest in one of these, but hey, I’d brought my own metal ones!
As always, love your work!
I appreciate that a lot, Thank you
so much walking! but this was an amazing video!
Thank you buddy. I appreciate that a lot.
Wow! That was an impressive distance Mathew, glad to see more travel videos 🙂
Hey James. Lots of vidoes to come so thank you for watching.
If nothing else at least you got your cardio for the week out of the way. 😂 Also if it's a Suntory product chances are it's got alcohol in it (try the pineapple or peach ones they're aces)
I love doing walks like that, but then I get to the top of the mountain/my goal and suddenly realise I've got another 2 hours of walking just to get to the bottom and my heart sinks.
Well done for getting to the top, hopefully you can get a postcard with the view on a sunny day ;)
Yeah, I might go back up next week before I leave!
keep going~
I will!
猴曬雷！少年 ㄟ
A 10 rating?!
Well done on traversing a 25km city in a day!
I just found out (from Matt Parker on th-cam.com/video/5cJK9VJ24hQ/w-d-xo.html) that the whole country of Lichtenstein is 25km from North to South....
so... just sayin'.... 😁
Honestly, that's enough reason for me to visit!
