Taiwan is one of my favorite places to visit for a short holiday (been there twice within this year alone), different but yet also familiar for me as a Singaporean.
Very well done! I've watched quite a few vlogs about Taiwan, but yours provides some real time experience such as how to get out of the airport then get to Taipei, etc. , which is so important for foreigners as to getting around. It makes me want to visit Taiwan at my soonest opportunity. Thank you so much for sharing.
thanks for the video.....I am heading to Taipei this afternoon from Phuket. I'll have 9 days on the island in Taipei and Kaohsiung. I have done tons of research and watched hours of video. I am surprised that people travel to a new country and do so little research about what to see and how to get around. I liked your step by step walk through of the airport and using the MRT. I'll be doing that at 7:00 tonight!

OMG, you really came! I've been watching you since that video of you in Singapore, and I was wondering if you would come. Turns out you really did! Amazing!
3:12 USD×30≈NTD 4:40 The bird on the back of the NT$1,000 banknote is the national bird Taiwan Mikado Pheasant. The background is the highest peak in Taiwan, Yushan. The surrounding plants, such as Yushan Thistle and golden clematis, are all endemic to Taiwan. 16:29 This is not a night market actually, it's Ximending, a shopping street
thanks for sharing, i have never really been to Asia but I hope to one day, but until then, i hope you`ll shre more videos to get me closer to my dream of visiting Asia. I have enjoyed the video and look forward to future shares and to enjoy your adventures and experiencing your steps thru your lenses. Thanks again for sharing.
Such a great video! I love Taiwan and can't wait to visit again. I hope you find a night market with tons of food! If you get the chance, try stinky tofu and I'd also recommend a roasted sweet potato. SO good!! 🤩
Although Taipei is not the most populated city in Taiwan, it is the densest. Taipei and the surrounding New Taipei, plus the port city of Keelung, make up the greater Taipei metropolitan area. Try to get a reloadable Easy Card. It makes taking the metro, local trains, and buses very easy.
I just want to say, you often mention your viewers dont want to see your anime content, but I really enjoy it! I hope to see it more in your future videos!
Really enjoyed your video, I've lived in Taipei for over 10 years and lived in Ximen for over 5 years, but haven't been back there for a few months-- fun to see it again and see you enjoying it
He doesnt exactly know how to save money. Spends 8$ on a beach towel in Vietnam. Go to any dollar store like a Daiso for 1-2$ towel. He could have had an Omar/Kavalan world famous whiskey for 300 TWD instead gets lower end Taiwanese beer.
Your Japanese dinner looked really delicious! What you had ate in the blue warm cup is called Chawanmushi. If or when you visit Japan, and I think you sort of gave it away. From my understanding, the Japanese once had a major influence in Taiwan, so you may see lots of similarities when you get to Japan. Enjoy your travels!!!
Man, if you were to turn right at the first street performer there were some pretty good braised pork with rice to try, found myself talking at the screen 😂😂
Reminds me of Japan quite a bit (which I miss...). Shame it's fairly "expensive" when it comes to renting, similarly to Seoul or Japan. SE Asia still is the best option on a budget there, especially Bangkok or KL.
Do what the locals do and get your beer at PXmart or 7-11 or Family Mart. Taiwan Beer or Bar Beer are popular. :) The steamed egg thing you ate is called Chawanmushi, it's Japanese style steamed egg with a little bit of fish cake. 228 Memorial Day is observed every year in Taiwan on February 28. The number “228” represents the date of February 28, when an uprising led to the massacre of thousands of people in Taiwan. If you have any questions, happy to assist, I lived on Yong Kang Street in Taipei for 3 years, back home for now but will be back in a month. :) Subscribed.
hi. I am so glad you´re enjoying your trip to and around Asia. Just like you i also travelled to Taiwan and went same countrie as you will after Taiwan.. people are so kind and helpful. even though I screwed it up big time. Jetlagged. advice. Do not forget your bag and stuff. I eventually landed on my feet. and truly enjoyed Taipei. back then. Taipei was by far the cheapest , food was great and inexpensive. and Hotels also. anyways please tell me. what you like best and maybe not enjoy so much yourself about Taipei?
Welcome to Taiwan, I can tell that you loving it. Also the thing that you ain't sure about is called zhen dan/zai wan zen, it literally translate into steam egg. But super popular amongst the Taiwan or Japan culinary, otherwise yes, it is an egg custard. The 228 peace park is a memorial park. PS I thought you were Australian because I am and can understood your accent 😂
There are guard guards changes every hour I think. You can take photos. The other buildings hosts opera, musicals, dances, and other performances. You need to get tickets in order to attend.
In Taiwan, outside of Taiwanese food or Chinese food, Japanese food would be a good choice. There are no lacking of Western food of many countries, including proper English tea places. Muslin food and many vegetarian restaurants are also available.
Word of advice. Don’t Uniqlo if you planning on heading to Japan next. I’ve bought a shirt for the same listed price, and JPY is like 1/4 of TWD. You probably also need to know you probably walked by the Animate shop.
That was Chawanmushi or Japanese steamed egg. Although I’ve never seen it served in a sealed container like that before. Haha. Usually steamed and served in a ramekin.
Could you please let me know if we need visa for a transit flight at Taipei airport TPE, actually I am going to have a transit flight here but I am not sure about the visa policy.😢
x is closely pronounced as "sh". q is closely pronounced as "ch". Ximen is shee-men. It's 8pm and you're worried about whether or not it's safe to walk out in the area where you got your AirBnB? Do you not do the research needed to figure out the exchange rate, what the neighbor is like where you book your accommodations, where the night markets and restaurants are? It's definitely much safer walking around in Taipei, Tokyo, Singapore.
Taiwan is one of my favorite places to visit for a short holiday (been there twice within this year alone), different but yet also familiar for me as a Singaporean.
I am Malaysian. But i loveeee Taiwan. Love the streets food. I would like to visit Taiwan again soon❤

The city vibe really like Tokyo ❤
Taiwan was once ruled by Japan for 50 years (1895-1945), and there are many things and customs left by Japan

Taiwan is becoming more and more famous in the world. In the past, many foreigners thought Taiwan was Thailand.
It's like south Korea
Many people Thought is north korea
I'm not Korean but these countries were underrated a few years ago.
Sadly, many many people still do.
Taiwan was more commonly called Formosa. Thailand was called Siam at the time.
Thailand or Taiwan is the same thing...3rd world country, riding elephants... and why their airlines called China? lol

22:50 You should have bought Taiwanese beer in can at that 7-11. It is quite cheap. And they have a good variety of beer there.

Welecome to Taiwan! November to April that is comfortable season in Taiwan.(Recommended by locals)
Love your video 🥰 welcome to Taiwan!
Taipei subway system is so cool and so easy to understand! We bought the TPass for T$500 and we got its worth for our 5 days stay back in 2018!
歡迎來台灣 好好享受美食和大自然

Welcome to this country Taiwan，the beauty of this coutry is friendliness，food，scene of mountain & sea，democracy and freedom.
Your videos are amazing 😊
ah, hunterxhunter, a man with taste 💅 hello from taipei!! (haha, gonna binge your se asia videos now because I need to prep for this upcoming trip...)
I'm watching where you're walking and I'm like, turn around!! You're walking AWAY from the night market area of Ximen lol.

Don't forget go to museums there's a lots of English signs that u could understand.

Awesome video ❤❤
Welcome to Taiwan! ❤👏👏👏👍
I named myself Hunter because that comic! I hope you enjoyed Taipei.
I miss Taiwan, the people and food😘
Welcome to Taiwan. 🇹🇼❤️
haha xiemen also has many traditional good foods there in some small lanes/streets 😂 You really need a tour guide 😊
FYI- that reprint on the wall in your Airbnb belongs to Yoshitomo Nara, a famous Japanese artist. It will cost you a fortune if it is real.
Taiwan looks happy place!!! The country is always in my bucket list 😊
Come visit! 😄
Love your videos 😊
Night market is 90% food. If you don’t see food stalls, you were at the wrong place.
welcome to Taiwan🇹🇼
Welcome to Taiwan🇹🇼 , you will love here deeply, plz go to Hualien & Taitung, it’s amazing 😊
Yeah Ximending is not a night market it's a shopping street. For night markets in Taipei I recommend Raohe night market.
Ningxia night market is not far from there and would also be a good choice.
You are welcome to travel to Taiwan, I wish you a happy journey in Taipei!!🎊🎇🎆
You could also walk into the 7-11 to get food, it’s very different than the one in the state. Give it a go before you left Taiwan!
In Taiwan, outside of Taiwanese food or Chinese food, Japanese food would be a good choice. There are no lacking of Western food of many countries, including proper English tea places. Muslin food and many vegetarian restaurants are also available.
Hi zane enjoy your trip ❤🇵🇭
If you want to find some cheap and good beer, you can get them from supermarket. "Taiwan beer gold" is good, "18 days" in glass bottles even better.
well come to taiwan ❤❤❤
Fun fact, Chang Kai Shek is not actually Mardarin.
Jiang Jie Shi(蔣介石)/ Jaing Zhog Zheng(same person, 蔣中正) if u pronounce it in Mandarin.
Welcome to Taiwan！ 20:27 This is steamed eggs😆
Should have just asked for what to eat and where because Taipei is renowned for amazing food. I’d never eat anything but Taiwanese food if I’m there!
my favorite place for vacation (TAIPEI)
welcome to Taiwan
When you are walking, watch out the traffic
歡迎歡迎
Welcome to Taiwan😍😍😍
Word of advice. Don’t Uniqlo if you planning on heading to Japan next. I’ve bought a shirt for the same listed price, and JPY is like 1/4 of TWD. You probably also need to know you probably walked by the Animate shop.
"Law abiding society"--except for the driving! lol Unfortunately as you found out Ximen is not a great place to eat.
In Taiwan, 7-11 can sell liquors. One large can cost no more than 2 dollars.
You should visit to 7-11 or Family mart in Taiwan , then find Taiwan bear , coffee, any kind food and drinking, even tickets.
You could go inside 711 and get the beer, it would be much cheaper,haha.
That was Chawanmushi or Japanese steamed egg. Although I’ve never seen it served in a sealed container like that before. Haha. Usually steamed and served in a ramekin.
The girls in Taiwan are off the chart
No way, you actually missed the Guard changing performance at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall.
Could you please let me know if we need visa for a transit flight at Taipei airport TPE, actually I am going to have a transit flight here but I am not sure about the visa policy.😢
If U need any help,U can ask anyone Taiwanese people.
90% they will try the best to help U ❤😊
It’s baked eggs with sea food.
Welcome to Taipei
The painting in your room looks like a Yoshitomo Nara painting.
06:44 one of the entrance to Taipei underground maze😂 I'm from Taipei and i still get lost there
Was he walking at 西门町
Quite like how I first came to Taiwan, just fell in love with it and still continues to visit. Plus the people are also helpful and nice. 😊
So good 👍👍👍

The Taipei metropolitan area is very large , just like Tokyo and Seoul are big cities
You should get the beer from 7-11. It would be much cheaper.
