Taiwan. After 23 years of living in America, I travel back to Taiwan, my childhood home to learn about its culture and traditions with new eyes. I retrace the steps of my childhood, visiting our local Taiwanese market, trying Taiwanese cuisine and street food like beef noodle soup, visit a Buddhist/Taoist temple, and eat our way through a Taiwanese night market in Taipei.

I was born in the US, but my heart is in Taiwan. I was lucky enough to grow up speaking Taiwanese, and visiting almost every year until high school. I've been back several times as well as an adult and I am so glad that the world is finally starting to appreciate our beautiful homeland.
This is why I love youtube, for content such as yours! I'm half Taiwanese and Half Canadian and struggled with my identity my whole life. Thanks for sharing your experience, helps biracial people like myself to see the shared feelings :)
很認真製作剪輯的一支影片 穿插一些小時候的紀錄 真是太棒太有感覺了 歡迎妳常回來 也在海外繼續傳遞台灣人真善美的力量~
台灣永遠歡迎你⋯沒想到妳的國語仍有台灣腔～
而且妳其實很亮眼⋯除了混血外⋯更多是愛台灣的一顆真心～😊
歡迎妳回到台灣，台灣是我們的母親，大門永遠為妳打開等待妳回家!❤🎉🎉
I am your parents’ old friend, Liao. We knew each other when I studied Design Master programs of RISD in Providence, Rhode Island in 1988. Your YT gave me a big surprise. Please say hello to your parents. 🎉❤😂
I'm thrilled to have come across your video - such an incredible documentary! It resonated deeply with me as I can relate. I moved from Taiwan to the U.S. at 12 in the summer of 1992. Returning after 12 years was surreal; my hometown, Taixi, in Yunlin county, had changed, yet some places remained familiar. Despite the wear and tear, I felt a profound sense of peace and belonging, even among unfamiliar faces. Now in my 40s, acclimated to U.S. lifestyle, every visit to Taiwan, especially in Taixi, my soul would always remind me that this is home. Thank you again for sharing.
這新舊時代穿插也帶入我個人的懷舊感觸 這些影片仍留著真的太珍貴了 一般台灣家庭的家庭記錄影片不多的
The Taiwanese are soooo friendly… I saw the massive difference in attitude and mindset when we stayed in Japan and Taiwan… Taiwan is better
yeh friendly maybe they are too friendly the foreigners come take their money pick their girls I mean the situation is shit maybe they need some edge for more friendly is pain is curse no friendly
In comparison to the Japanese and Koreans, Taiwanese are more relaxed. For an ordinary citizen, Taiwanese is less stressful in daily life and more friendly to foreigners in actual ---- to all foreigners, not merely the white people.
看完影片滿讓人感動的 如此不同的成長環境和文化背景相融合造就出妳的獨特性 歡迎你回家 回到台灣這個大家庭😊
I enjoyed your video. It's great you had so much footage from your childhood. My wife is from Taiwan and have visited there 3 times in the past 20 years. We have 3 children, 2 in college. (My 19 year old daughter is actually there visiting now.) I'm trying to talk my wife into moving to Taiwan in a few years when I retire. We''ll see how that goes.
Love your video! I am also MIT and proud of it.
I left Taiwan when I was 15, and visited only 3 times during my working career. Now I am retired. I just completed a round the island bike tour led by Giant bikes.
I will come back this year once again to enjoy the fruits and excellent seafood.
I from china,love taiwan so well for its well reserve chinese culture.hate the whole media and politics a lot,hope one day i can visit ❤
台灣永遠歡迎妳回來
妳拍攝的廟會
裡面的護國宮
裡面的靈魂人物
本身就是一個傳奇人物
很幸運的剛好遇到
What a touching vignette, Dottie. Thank you for sharing that. I got emotional watching it, as I'm also "M.I.T" but has spent the last 45 years of my life on Canada's West Coast (only visited Taiwan once 10 years ago), having left Taiwan when I was 9. And like you, I know there's a very deep part of me that really is Taiwanese/Chinese and that will always stay with me. I definitely feel the duality that is in me, part Taiwanese and part Canadian. I very much enjoy your videos and adventures, very glad to have discovered your channel. All the best to you in 2024!
Incredible video captures, the beauty of street scenery with pleasant atmosphere is clearly exposed and well shown.
Wonderful tour as always, thanks for sharing this wonderful inspiration.
💖 Greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷🙂
Wow! This is incredible editing. Very professional, very impressive. Great storytelling too!
Hello again Dottie and Lenza, thanks Dottie for sharing your birthplace of Taiwan and the wonderful memories you had growing up as a little girl before moving to the United States at 10 y.o.
I am Half Japanese and seeing your (& Lenza's) Vlog, reminds me a little bit of being born in Tokyo, Japan and the wonderful memories I kind of remember almost 59 years ago before moving to Okinawa then back to Japan then finally to the United States in 1974, as a kid whose father was in the U.S. Air Force.
Thanks again Dottie and Lenza. Stay Save on your folks traveling journeys. My sincere condolences about your dear dad. 😪
哈嘍 終於看見您的影片 還記得當天你們兩位都非常的客氣 很開心很榮幸與你們相識 非常好看的影片和紀錄 為我們護國宮留下美好的精彩回憶 ❤
I dropped tears when I watch and hear your narration
There is a lot of sweet memories hidden in the bygones,
It would be a pity to just let go
Thanks for your sharing!!!
歡迎回來台灣❤
Your father seemed so loving, fun, and kind! I hope you had a rewarding time in Taiwan back in the day too.
其實台灣這十來年教育方式已經沒以前那麼威權，現在更强調多元適性發展喔
Taiwan has the best food in the world. REALLY!
沒看過這樣真實的剪接，很棒的影片。唯一可以確定的是不會有這支影片吧！歡迎常回台灣體驗你沒經歷過的台灣。
Beautiful film of your story. I also moved to America at an early age from Taiwan. 12 for me. I've not been back a lot and my grandparents have since passed away whom I was very close with. I hope to bring my kids back there in the coming years for their first visit.
一開頭是寫給台灣的一封情書吧
後面說的堂兄弟妹應該是錯誤的，堂兄弟妺 指的是父親這方的 叔叔 阿伯的小孩，表兄弟 指的是母親的兄弟姐妹的小孩（小小糾正一下，沒有其他意思）
老師跟以前沒太多變化，倒是女大十八變 妳變很多 變漂亮很多
提到霄裡玉元宮 才發現 這裡是我前幾年跑物流的區域，這裡是八德區，不過上個坡就是中壢區了，算是八德的邊疆區域
歡迎回台灣👍👍🇹🇼
爸爸居然留豬哥亮髮型餒 😊
帥
It was a very good memories deeply in your heart..so touching. Welcome home Taiwan's daughter 。
Beef noodle soup is also my goto when I go to back once in a blue moon. AND NO SHOT tha that is the same primary school I went to! I totally get what you mean about the vibe. When I left Taiwan I was 5 and there were no MRT or anything like that. would've been like 20 odd years til I went back next and god it was so different yet at the same time super nostalgic. My gran lived in hualien and even though it did change there quite a bit it's still much less developed and definitely reminded me of "home".
I don't know if you've ever felt the same way as me but for someone who's had a bit of a identity cultural crisis. Going back to Taiwan totally fixed that for me.
歡迎回家🇹🇼🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
One of my favourite videos you've made to date. I love Taiwan for it food. The Taiwanese people are more friendlier and welcoming than Chinese mainland. I love Taiwanese beef soup and friend chicken.
Wonderful video! I left Taiwan 55 years ago, at the age of 12. I married a Taiwanese woman six years ago. I've been back every year for the past seven years. Here's something you might not appreciate, given your age. In 2020, I accompanied my in-laws on a Saturday to the local school to watch them cast their ballots for the presidential election. I became so emotional. Within a short time frame (from the perspective of political changes), Taiwan went from a dictatorship to a vibrant democracy. Long live Taiwan!
Two thumbs up. A truly well made and touching documentary crossing decades to this date about yourself, your root, and many of your loved ones who have helped shape who and what you are today, very wonderful!
I've watched this video so many times, because it touched me a lot. ❤
Because it has a strong sense of intimacy for Taiwanese people.
Of course I've subscribed your channel since I watched your videos firstly 7 days ago.
不要那麼久才回台灣,你有一半血源來自台灣,也是你母親家鄉,希望以後有空常回台灣☺️~聖誕節快樂❄️☃️🧑🎄🦌🎄😆
Thank you for remembering your home no matter where you are.
23年過去了，你的四年級導師怎麼沒變......
你拍出來的畫面很漂亮，攝影剪接技術很棒👍
This was so beautiful and heartfelt
Beautiful documentary. I've been there many times, its so lovely and I do missed it and oh yeah, the stinky tofu....so good.
Wish my folks were that warm. They would've cussed out the camera. 😂 I appreciate 😊 you sharing your family and homeland Dot! 🎉
Thanks for watching Brian :)
Some of the most incredible memories are forged in a time of innocence..
You travelled around the world and finally back for a home travel.
我表妹跟你一樣，美國居住多年後，講國語還有台灣腔，真有趣
This episode is very well edited with interleaving old memories! Super! A new ever-lasting memory.
重回歷史記憶的地方回憶最珍貴，尤其還能保留當時的場景更是令人珍惜。
Just wow 🤩
🫶
This was so very touching. Thank you for your story.
真棒的一輯，看完有種心裡觸動
Amazing video, as always! You are such a a beautiful representation of the diversity in this world ❤️ thank you for showing us a piece of your heart in this video ❤️
Welcome to Taiwan❤
I subscribed to this channel 👍
上次影片您說是"桃園中正國小"(可能是字幕翻錯)，害我高興了一下，有這麼可愛的學妹,而這部影片證實您是桃園龍岡"忠貞國小"，桃園龍岡那的確留有不少傳統"雲南、滇緬"的店家，還有您父親真的留下不少珍貴的影片......
Ohmymymy Teresa Teng IS the super artist for all the Asian Family in the Universe for sure 😊🙏 And bon appétit as well 😅
Loved learning about this part of your history
Awesome quality and great personal story.
As an overseas Chinese stayed in Taiwan for 7 yrs your video made me feel nostalgic
Awesome videos. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Heartwarming, thank you for sharing your life with us.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
歡迎回家😊這裡永遠都是妳的故鄉🎉
整集口白就是：回童年鄉之旅❣️
Very warm video to watch.
👍👍👍👍👍期待下次的影片！
Wow, amazing, I was also graduated from 忠貞elementary school in 1991. And 忠貞traditional market changed a lot now. It is still popular and so many tasty foods. Haha. Welcome back.
哇，很好看的影片🎉 I like it very much
Dottie & Lenza, Thanks for sharing this wonderfully made video of Dottie's past-present and introspect. I'll be introducing this soulful video to a few Taiwanese girls studying English. Best wishes to you guys 2024!
謝謝分享；平安喜樂，順心如意。
我第一次觀看妳的影片，感動了！
This channel deserves 1 million subs. Video quality is on the dot. 👍
Love beef noodle soup. Grilled sausages looked really yummy. Absolutely love egg and oysters, absolutely winner for me. Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish And Loved Every Minute
在80年代左右教育是嚴格的，老師是會體罰學生的，90年代開始好一些了，現在都是“愛的教育”。我經歷過體罰，所以超羨慕現在的方式😂
Loved this
welcome back home anytime.
welcome home🙂
incredible video. I miss TW
看見了台灣最美的一面就是人興人之間最真誠的情感❤
I never went thru schooling in Taiwan (I did in Singapore, which can also be rigorous there) but I recall visiting Taiwan in the mid 90s and learned that my cousin had school Monday to Saturday and only had Sunday off. I always thought that was wild
That's cool. My families and cousins are from the same area, they all went to 東安國小around the corner.
Chido.
Great video makes me really homesick 😢
很棒的台灣紀錄！
welcome you home again！
Welcome back
very good video guys.
❤❤❤很棒的影片
歡迎回家!
好溫馨
16:25 Lenza is exactly right, stinky tofu is an acquired taste.
Please Be Sure to Come Back & Stay for Good Next Time❤🎉😊、Soon😂 !
老師保養得太好了吧？
Wekcome "back" to Taiwan.
Welcome to Taiwan ❤
Hi, I am a professor and I have engaged in preserving and promoting cultural heritages around Xiao Li for more than 30 years. I am so surprised that Xiaoli is so near to your born place, yet I must tell that just behind the temple shown in your video where still existed so many precious and gorgeous places to be visited. So. If you have time and interest, I would like to meet you and show you around. My name is 陳其澎 , You might easy to find some videos interviewing myself in TH-cam.
Welcome home
Beautiful and mesmerizing temple ritual. Reminds me more of the dances and rituals of Indonesia and Thailand than of mainland China. To what extent is Taiwanese culture a product of Southeast Asian culture? Anyway, a wonderfully produced documentary. You are thoughtful, curious, and open - both probing and playful. I can't think of a better ambassador for Taiwan, China and the US, all together.
And I have to say, love your 'prayer' to Mother Taiwan at the end. Very sweet and moving.
The people want to see more young Dottie home video footage
My daughter is 2 now. She is biracial and born in Tw. I am curious to find out how she identifies herself when she's older.
