Thank you Peter and Yan. Another great program. I know you are from New Zealand. Congrats to Lydia Ko from NZ for winning gold in Olympic women’s golf.
She did so well! Been so much fun following the Olympics this year. New Zealand did really great in general especially in the canoe events.
Wow great trip❤
☺️❤️
Interbeing tree house. Didn't realise that Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan. Excellent video, guys !
Hahaha learn something new everyday 🧠😊
Taiwanese snacks are very unique. This is the first time I have seen peanut and coriander rolls eaten this way. I will definitely try it myself if I have the chance.
Thanks you for sharing your travel experiences n so interesting to watch
Well-done ❤😍👏👏👏
Thanks ❤️ 😊 you can visit the old capital when you guys visit Taiwan too
Another wonderful vlog, guys. You have the knack of shining a light on places that have never really appealed and making me want to visit them 😊😊
😁 I think you'd like Taiwan Daryl. It's a cool place full of random hidden gems and great food.
Adding to the bucket list - thanks guys
No worries have an awesome trip!
wow...very interesting tree house fully grown over it. so amazing. Poor peter n yen we can see u so exhausted from the heat. Tq for this very interesting vlog🥰🥰🥰
O my gosh yes the heat in this day was ridiculous 😅 needed to eat a bowl of ice kachang at the end to cool down
I just moved to Tainan for work. Loving the local food and historical sites that seem to be everywhere here. Great vid!
O nice! Hope you're enjoying the city 😊
Wow, those banyan trees are something else! It's always so interesting watching nature reclaim the landscape after humans have left.
The food looked really good too, although I'm not sure about eating a pot plant 🪴 😂
Hahahaha Yen assures me it's the best tasting pot plant 🪴 you could ever have 😁
La photographie et les prises de vue dont particulièrement les gros plans sont toujours très bien réussis. ❤
Thank you much appreciated 😊❤️
Will definitely visit Taiwan one day.
Hope you get the chance it's a great place for a holiday 😊👍
🥜🥜 and coriander sounds….yummy! Very cool about each 🗡️ 🦁 being unique. Fun treasure hunt looking for them 😁. The tree house was very cool…since you guys are into trees, hopefully you can make your way to California in the U.S. and experience the giant sequoias and redwoods… those memories will forever be etched in my mind… unfortunately (or fortunately) many of the sequoias have barriers around them to protect them from erosion and harm caused by tourists… those trees are truly prehistorically otherworldly… a must experience for tree lovers.. Hope you guys are having a good time in indo and enjoying the yummy food! Safe (and cooler) travels!!
Yes! Definitely one of the tree stops that we really want to see. Those sequoia trees look out of this world. Watch a dodgers game to see shohei ohtani, grand canyon and sequoia trees that'll be a great trip 😁
We will have to figure out when we can do it though.
We just left Yogyakarta now. Had an amazing time exploring the old temples 🛕 here. Are you still in Bangkok?
Yen just reminded me she already told me you were last in KL 😅 I would blame the forgetfulness on getting older. But I am always forgetful soooo 😂🧠
@@PeterandYen if you’re hitting the Grand Canyon, gotta do a buffet run in Vegas! Something in LA was on your food bucket list too, wasn’t it? Was it tacos? Or maybe that was me…I talk about food so much it all blends in. I went on a taco run for like 6 months 😂. Yup, KL… always love the food in KL.. thinking of Mongolia soon 😁. Have fun and safe travels!
@SeoulMan2020 ooooo dude if you're going to Mongolia you have to do the eagle hunting. That looks so cool.
Don't really know what to do Vegas 😅 not really huge on casinos. Is the buffet really worth it?
@@PeterandYen the first time I had to go to Vegas I hated it… vowed never to go back (I don’t gamble, I don’t like crowds, gaudy fixtures, casinos, etc. Years later went back and tried a buffet. Was pretty fun… and there are tons and tons and tons and tons of buffet as well as so many eating options at all price levels (oddly, one of my favorite taco places near the Mexican border opened up a shop in Vegas - look up Tacos El Gordo in Vegas). So once or twice a year I’d make a Vegas run to try a couple buffets, go hiking with my dogs (there are some really cool hiking areas just outside of Vegas) and do my yearly shopping at the outlets. I will say, I recently looked at some vids of Vegas buffets and it looks like the quality has gone and things look sloppier.. or maybe I’ve just tried better places from traveling 🤷♂️
Apparently, about 20% of people have a chromosome that makes coriander taste horrible and I’m one of those people unfortunately 😔
😅 ooo no, my dad has the same dreaded chromosome I think. But he can't stand any herb they all taste bad to him 😂
Hahaha Yen and I must be synchronised. The scene where the plant roots grow out of the wall reminded me of Cambodia and Yen said it too lol. I haven't been to Cambodia tho. I love peanuts and coriander, I bet the taste is really good. I want to try 😋.
Hahahaha Yen enjoyed it, I think you would too it's fresh and tasty. We went to Cambodia many years ago when we first started traveling. Bet it's probably changed so much now.
@PeterandYen So many things have changed especially after covid. I love coriander, I am so Asian lol but my husband doesn't like it so I rarely use it in my home-cooking dishes 🥲. He always picked out the coriander from the bread roll and gave it to me lol
@ouradventerousdays hahaha you can enjoy more of the coriander then. In our family only my dad doesn't really like herbs but everyone else loves it.
Plenty of free exterior air conditioning in Wellington if you need it !!!
😂😂 ummm appreciate the offer 🙏 😂
Another educational, “tasty” and wonderful vlog! I had no idea that the Dutch colonized Taiwan and that Tainan is the oldest city in Taiwan! When we were in NZ, we were told by a tour guide that through DNA, the Māori people originated from Taiwan. Any truth in that? Also, did you come across any research on Taiwan regarding its indigenous people?
Neither did we until we were doing our research into Tainan 😆 we have heard about the Maori ancestor lineage with Taiwan aboriginals.. apparently there's some evidence of it especially with some cultural and language similarities shared. At sun moon lake the Ita Thao (last spot we went) are where one of the native tribes reside but other than that didn't come across all that much and don't know which tribe might be specifically linked to Maori ancestors unfortunately!
Thanks for your input based on your research. I’m curious now as to any DNA linkages and also how far back in history all this supposedly happened. So I’m going to spend a few minutes doing some research on this topic. BTW, my sister is on her way to see “the” friend who might know we (my sister and I) have been to Alisan.
Ooooo let us know the verdict 😆
@@PeterandYen The verdict is in! The friend does not remember us going to Alishan. She only remembers going to Sun Moon Lake.
Ah mystery solved and case closed! 😄 Maybe you guys could plan a future trip to Alishan in that case 😉🌳

😎❤️🇹🇼‼️
👍❤️
Wooo..love coriander. Food looks delicious n healthy 😋 very interesting info on Taiwan
😁 you would definitely like the roll two of your favorite ingredients together ❤️
At the intro, said to myself, must be a sleepy small city, now that it is no longer the capital, just watching the initial 2:55 mins
Realise that it's a pretty big city when you guys shared to shot from 2:55 mins
Pete/Yen, what's that peanut sweet/treat (flat rectangular one) @3:49 the man in blue was crushing
I used to eat smaller versions of that when I was a kid in Klang
Pete's description of the potted plant is so amp 😅
The heat and humidity must have been high, not often Pete fans himself down when standing under a fan 😰
Love the end where the squirrel climb up the roots(?) of the Bayan tree
Thanks for sharing and have a great week both
Hahaha you know I keep telling Yen that Taiwanese food is so similar to Malaysian Chinese food too. At first Yen was like nooo not that similar and at that exact moment we walked past a layer cake and I was like look look see nonya kueh 😂 now you are helping with your childhood snack 😁
By late July it was so hot in Taiwan 😅 never felt so hot before.
Oh btw the peanut slab the man was crushing is called peanut brittle 🙂
@@PeterandYen Thank you, use to love have it with coke straight out of the fridge 😁
Suppose there's a bunch of hokkiens in Malaysia and a bigger bunch of hokkiens in Taiwan
That Anping treehouse was the highlight of your trip! Love that nature taking over the home.
Also, the chewy peanut-coriander snack feels delicious! Thanks for the Tainan vlogs! Love you guys! 😎💖
Thanks Nikki! Sending love right back 😁💛 such a cool tree house right? 🌳😊👍🏻
I did enjoy the vlog thanks. I always have a big smile while watching you two on your travels, you have a knack of making them fun 😊And you always find really beautiful places to visit, and a range of food to choose from.
😁 thanks Kiwi_Col. Taiwan is great for exploring off the beaten path gems as well as the main touristy sites.
Yen n I really enjoyed this trip and glad it came through these videos 😊
Take care have a great week ❤️
Nice vidéo 👍👍
Thanks 👍
/eyes the peanut roll lol that's a pass from me, I'm a non-coriander person haha! The sword-lion thing is really cool! Are they like, protectors or something I wonder? That treehouse looks pretty amazing haha, I wasn't sure what to expect but not that!
Haha we just learnt from someone else in the comments there's a chromosome or gene perhaps that makes some people really dislike coriander 😆 the sword lions have a whole story and history behind them! Troops would carve lion images on their shields to strike fear in the hearts of their enemies and when they returned home they would place their shields and swords at the front door.. eventually the practice turned into locals in the area hanging sword lions emblem to ward off potential intruders so that's how they became a symbol of guardians/protectors 😊⚔️🦁
@@PeterandYen oh I don't have the gene, I just find the flavour uninspiring XD But ooooh that's so cool about the sword lions!
😂👍🏻
