I'm a Taiwanese and I totally agree with your opinions. I don't smoke so I don't like the people who smokes on the street. Also, I hate some professional driver who drive fast and dangerously. I like take train or drive my own car to everywhere. Sometimes our air was affected by haze which come from China, so the air looked like misty. Sorry for my poor English.
Thank you for your support! And, don't fret it! Your English's pretty good :)
I also agree with you. As a parent, we really feel very worried about our children drivig or riding on the road. All good characters of Taiwanese are all gone when hitting on the road.
Some foreign youtubers once said that Taiwanese are very "creative" when holding the driving wheesl or scooter handlers....It just switches into the"wild" mode.
To be safe on the road, you need to notice pretty much on traffic in all directions and try not to believe too much on the traffic lights. Even it's a green light on your directions, you'd better to slow down at the cross section in case some cars just rushes through ignoring the red light on purpose.
I lived in South Korea last year and there was sometimes a huge mountain of soggy, smelly pee-pee paper next to the toilet 💀 Anyway, I'm glad you were honest! There will always be people who get defensive just because they're too proud to accept anything even slightly negative 🙄 Ignore them!
Whoooo that toilet part is making me rethink my whole life😭😂😂 thanks for the heads up!
They don't have toilet plungers in Taiwan?! Is the toilet paper thick in consistency? That will clog even a U.S.-toilet easily. I have no ideas about the piping of the sewer systems, maybe it is just the buildings in certain areas but there MUST be ways to flush that unsanitary waste down the toilet and not plug it, even if requiring more multiple flushes than you would require in my own country, to avoid those plugs. Just curious!
for the cars part, do they not give them tickets when they pass red lights? to like warn them and to curb this reckless driving?
The bus part so funny 😂😂
I'm Vietnamese, but I really love Taiwan architecture of houses. The street I saw on TH-cam is fresh, clean. Taiwanese are friendly, warm, honest not like some Chinese rude af. My dream is building a house like Taiwan architecture design when I got a family. Taiwan food is super good, tasty. Best wishes for Taiwan from Vietnam 🇻🇳♥️.
Yes, the pollution is so bad here. Since moving here, I have developed asthma and have attacks often. Taiwanese people like to say the pollution is from China but that isn’t logical. 😂 Most likely a political statement. Taiwan has pollution because of the unregulated motorcycles , work trucks, and factories, plus the trash everywhere on the street and beaches because they don’t have enough public garbage bins. My husband drives a semi truck for work here and he said you can continue driving a truck that fails the air pollution test because no one checks up on them. The only time they have to pay a fine is if they have some other problem where the police are notified, like a car accident or something.
For driving, it is so true. I have been driving here for seven years and it drives me crazy how so many people cut in line, cut you off at a turn, stop dead in their tracks to merge; how motorcycles will sometimes cut you off and then stop or slow way down, blocking the lane; buses will just merge right into the side of your car if you aren’t careful; taxis will slowly creep along, blocking the lane. I get so mad that there is no fine for cutting in lane, blocking lanes of traffic, causing accidents by not merging correctly, etc., but if you are speeding you always get fined. The speed limits are so low here, I wouldn’t even consider it really speeding. 😂 My husband (Taiwanese) is so naive about how dangerous the roads are here. He says our child doesn’t need a car seat and that car seats are an “American thing” because we drive fast in America. Um, Honey, we may drive fast but for the most part we obey the rules of the road, plus we don’t have throngs of mopeds everywhere.
For crosswalks though, those cars are actually allowed to drive at the same time people can walk. It is so dangerous, but most stoplights have green for crosswalks at the same time as it is green for turning left (or right, it depends on the intersection). I don’t understand why the transportation department thinks this is good idea.
Hi~ I'm a Taiwanese who lived in Singapore till the age of 9(14 now) and except for the public bus one, I agree with everything you said. (Maybe I just didn't experience such bad bus drivers.) There are definitely things that we can improve, for example traffic safety which I find as one of the worst😅
Im just thinking about living in taiwan or china ........i hope u post more and more about taiwan culture ❤️🥺👍thank u
I don't like those things you said as well, except the last thing I didn't encounter that problem much, usually I just threw the toilet paper down in the toilet without any problems.
The buses are european models for tall people.
Coi nhiều clip mới biết là Việt Nam, nói tiếng anh giỏi quá, bạn sinh năm mấy ạ
Sad but very true.
Where are you in Taiwan?
Taipei! :)
Hi
Srilanka
Traffic safety does pose a serious problem in Taiwan. When you see the green light in your direction, don't hurry to walk foreword because many drivers think the pedestrians aren't brave enough to hit their vehicles and should let them go first even though their direction has a red light. Walking on the zebra crossing won't guarantee you the traffic safety because a vehicle can suddenly appear and knock you down.
Another disadvantage for living in Taiwan you never mentioned is ccp sending lots of 50 cents to molest Taiwanese societies if you watch a video online and they tend to leave lots of hogwash comments on the commentary sections.
she clearly hasnt been to india complaining about the driving. bro lanes are nonexistent in india.
But there's no crime ill live in taiwan tho 🙌🏼😌
Loool what the heck is up with buses!!!
„5 Things I Do Not Like About Living In Taiwan„ Number one:The simple fact that i live in taiwan
That toilet situation is in most of if not all Asia. Just do your business and turn on the ass blaster ( kitchen sink spray gun) and you don’t need toilet paper……a towel yes but you will not need tp.
I guess you can't really hate that on Taiwanese road, the priority is given to vehicles and not pedestrians, it's just different culture. I understand that in Singapore and most western countries, whenever a pedestrian sets foot on the road, the priority to given to them. We avoid cars while cars avoid y'all.
It has more to do with people in Taiwan not being properly taught to drive. Cars are still relatively new to Taiwan compared to countries that developed way earlier, so good driving practices and etiquette have not sunk in Taiwan. The grandparents and parents never learned to drive well in Taiwan, so who can the kids learn from? Cars should give priority to pedestrians. Period. Why? Because 1,000+ kg of metal can kill 100 kg human beings pretty easily. It doesn't take much effort to just respect ypur fellow humans and let them cross the fucking road like a civilized society.
@@msbim9649 I'm from Argentina (south America) and here the cars also has this priority even though cars are not a new thing. It's like the cars are on their own way and it's your job to look to not cross the street if a car is going. It surprised me when I visited Europe that cars stop when they see you trying to cross the street. So maybe it's a matter of education and culture more than time.
Yup, Singaporeans are quite pampered compared to Taiwanese. Buts thats OK, you will grow
It's hard finding put that despite Taiwan's modern tech, it is in it's hard still at heart a third world country.
@@msbim9649 I don't know about that. The West is Collapsing and I have lived in Singapore, USA, Chin and Taiwan. Key number one. Donta have expectation. take things as they are and focus on the things you must accomplish. It will save headaches
@@JoTokutora what makes you think the West is collapsing? The US economy is doing great, 6 of the 8 largest economies are Western, and China is struggling mightily with bankrupt real estate companies, a rapidly aging population, and the loss of face after anger over the Wuhan virus and CCP's behavior abroad.
Meanwhile, Taiwan isn't even in the picture. The salary of the average Taiwanese professional is no higher than a McDonald's worker in America. It's 3rd world light.
@@msbim9649 you are joking right? If not, you really have to pay attention to the global economy. The West is certainly in decline. There is no way I can make a coherent explanation here. Is complex and extends decades. If you are curious, then maybe this is an worthy endeavor
@@JoTokutora if you are not able to make a coherent case then my friend, you forteit the conversation. The West far outstrips Asia (except Japan and in some cases S. Korea) in terms of quality of life, freedom, and wealth for the average citizen. Meanwhile, China is shutting itself off and losing friends left and right in Europe, Asia, and elsewhere. Taiwan's average wage is less than US$2,000 per month, on par with an America McDonald's worker. These are easily available facts. Sorry you don't care for them.
台灣路上菸蟲很多，空氣污濁骯髒
燒紙錢，燒香燭很多

GET OUT.
NO YOU GET OUT.
