I just discovered your channel after returning from two weeks in Taiwan. We visited Yingye, which was as lovely as you portray it to be. And you're right about Taiwanese liberal views of alcohol. Years ago my mother in law let my eight year old daughter try some beer. Daughter didn't like the taste but out of politeness drank it all. From that my mother in law proudly told us that my kid daughter liked the beer! Hahaha. Your channel is great; keep it up.
As a Taiwanese, I think the information in this video is fairly correct. You did do many research, and then connect with your personal experience, it makes this video more convincing. Thank you for sharing Taiwan to people.
I have to say that in general, Taiwanese do normally have a limit in mind about how much they can drink hence to avoid further behaviour problems to others.
People don't usually drink the alcohol in public unless you are homeless. Lol. It is a beautiful city with story and culture. You can go there to make very handmade pot or planters and it is a fun experience. Thank you!!
I was quite lucky to stay in the public education system all the way. Most of my educational spendings was on textbooks and many other extra-curriculum activities. I rarely attended the after-school classes (I found them not very useful, except the English classes I took before studying abroad). I choose to live in school dorms during my college years and had no regrets. It is still possible to keep the overall educational spendings low in Taiwan.
H just a note. After living in Korea, Japan and Philippines people told me a differant story about white skin. White skin was associated to higher work status. If your skin was darker you were working outdoors.
I agree with everything you said....I remember someone giving me a beer on the beach, and as a New Yorker, I was like, "I can drink this here?" I have even bought beer and sat in front of 7-11 and just drank it. A big no no in NYC. And as for real estate, I cannot figure out how the typical person can afford a home in Taipei. A condo in Taipei goes for at least $500,000 (US), but the annual salary is about $20,000 a year (or less). But the renting is much cheaper too. So it doesn't make sense to buy a condo and rent it out. You won't make money. Would love to see a video on Taiwan real estate....maybe a future topic, Nathan.
Funny, I once saw tourists from Austria on a commuter train that passed Yingge, and they were drinking beer. Have never seen locals drinking beer on a train.
Just a thought. I am confused when you said TW education expenses is above global average, at around $56,000 per year. I think you mean parents who send their kids to those expensive and exclusive private k to 12 in TW. As far as I know, for college education, the most expensive TW private colleges cost just a fraction of tuitions one would pay to go to a good public college in CA, such as the UCs. Private college tuitions in the US will be even higher. TW's education should be ranked one of the cheapest in the world if you stay in public. Unlike the US, public means top notch for colleges in TW.
I live in Beijing, here and in the rest of mainland China people are allowed to drink out in public as well. However, not many local people do it. The only people I've seen here drinking out in public are other foreigners. My hometown of New Orleans is one of the few cities in the US where drinking out in public is allowed.
Another great episode! However, when it comes to alcohol, I think by "western countries" you pretty much only mean the US. As far as, I know it's not a big deal in many European countries. Germany is certainly a counterexample lol. Also different skin tones were associated with different social classes. In the earlier time, more tanned skin tone often meant blue-collar types of workers or farmers, so that you had to constantly expose to the sun.
Women do crazy things to their skin. Some Asian women overly protect their skin from the sun; lots of Western women over-expose their skin under the sun or on tanning beds. It's interesting how skin color signifies social status in various cultures. To Westerners, tanned skin tone represents a healthy or wealthy life style meaning he or she loves outdoor activities or can afford vacations.
White skin is preferred among women in asian cultures because it signifies a person of the upper class. Lower class women would be tanned from working outside or have calloused hands. Pale women were known to be wealthy and stay indoors often without needing to work.
That's the story I heard as well in Taiwan. In contrast, in the US we have the belief that a "healthy tan" is collected on holiday at the beach (by the leisure class) and looking down on the "Farmer's tan" on the forearms and the back of the neck (working class).
請問一下 外國大學的 學費 大約美金 多少錢， 主要是針對美國或者是加拿大， 還是依你的南非國家的學費？？？？（Us:56000, I want to know the cost of the university. Thank you.）（I would like to ask your education costs. Does the foreign area from elementary school to high school refer to your country?）How much is the college fee?
Not sure about now, but decades ago, you could be laughed at for having darker skin tones at schools in east Asian countries, being whiter was considered prettier. I have no judgement on that but it is interesting for white people to find this habit strange (not this youtuber) as many of them want to have darker skin and crazy about exposing themselves to the sun. If you think it through, they are both doing the same different things.
只要你喝酒之後不要開車 在公共場合不要喝醉..... As long as you don’t drive after drinking Don't get drunk in public ... 大家對此其實就感到....OK的 反之就是很令人厭惡的 Everyone actually feels OK with this Otherwise it is very abominable
其實我覺得如果房價不要那麼高，其實在台灣生活真的很好，不然就不會有越來越多外國人想在這生活了

台灣確實有許多令人讚嘆的工藝及景點，如陶藝及琉璃，景點有太魯閣、水火同源等等。
台灣大部份人確實不會嗜酒；而且沒錯，台灣的防曬用品賣得很好！
台灣的房價真的貴到太不可思議；最後，台灣的教育其實還有待努力！

你真的非常 瞭解臺灣!
台灣人不討厭酒~可是很討厭酒駕的人
早期中國人認為工人、貧窮的人才需要外出工作賺錢，自然會被太陽曬的黑黑的，也不能留長長的指甲，所以皮膚白白的女性象徵是富貴人家的子女，指甲留的長又美，代表這位小姐完全不用工作也不需要做家務，這是早期對白色皮膚的刻板印象。
其實西方人也一樣，長指甲一樣也代表富有尊貴的象徵，西方人喜歡小麥色的皮膚也是富有的象徵，因為她們可以不用工作躺著曬太陽。
說的真好，算是很深入了解台灣

雖然在台灣可以到處喝酒(有些地方不行),但是因為喝酒造成別人的困擾或生命安全也是會被抓起來的.也奉勸大家開車不喝酒.喝酒不開車
.就是因為台灣的飲酒文化開放所以才有那麼多酒駕(對不起.我嚴肅了....)
台灣人對酒僅有的負面看法就是 開車不喝酒!! 喝酒開車人人喊打
Excellent !

Yeah man, it is a bit unexpected that not many locals take advantage of the liberal laws governing alcohol consumption in TW.
7:45 so true. I grew up there till 4th grade, then moved to the US, and I felt I didn't learn any new math for couple years.
Haha, yeah, many students here are way ahead academically.
It's a truly story
I ♡ Taiwan !
台灣義務教育9年是免除學費的喔(僅需付學雜費)！(國教12年目前似乎是免除部分公立高職學費)
Hope those ceramic stores were ok after the earthquake.
Rock Haha. Good point! Some of them pile up the ceramic merchandise quite precariously...
酒是料理常用食材，尤其台灣人慣用漢藥，相信藥食同源，而酒常作為藥引。
不過晚上喝酒太吵是會被居民檢舉，警察會來罰錢什麼的。在台灣太陽不是奢侈品，所以沒有歐美人曬太陽才上流的觀念，反而剛好相反，只有錢的人可以不用曬太陽。
我跟朋友都在公園喝酒😂😂😂討論事情
👍👍👍

There are many hot springs in Taiwan is because Taiwan is a geologically young island...

I think it’s something like USD 56k from grade 1 to university. Here's a link to the article: www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3202190

Don’t dink and drive, otherwise almost no limitation about having alcohol in anywhere.
Sean Wu Thanks! Driving while under the influence of alcohol is definitely one thing I hope the traffic officers can become stricter about.
在台灣非常嚴格禁止酒駕！喝酒不開車！
台灣人認為一白遮三醜，所以皮膚白皙很重要

台灣人不會在公眾場合下喝酒 要看氛圍吧 台灣那麼多飲料店專美於前 在外我選擇喝飲料喝茶
White skin is preferred among women in asian cultures because it signifies a person of the upper class. Lower class women would be tanned from working outside or have calloused hands. Pale women were known to be wealthy and stay indoors often without needing to work.
upper class? lower class?
plz express ur opinion after u actually visit here, come on.

哎呀，不過沒辦法，台灣的環境就是這樣…
公共場所當然沒啥人喝酒
臺灣喝酒文化就是要有人
“倒酒”
再老的酒客都有“適當”的店家
不過這種陪酒文化從日本來的
Drinking in the public is not a culture in TW thus no need to ban it I suppose.
台灣房價 😥😥😥
談到數理能力, 這倒很新鮮. 我在其它國家時(西方), 發現怹們的數理能力好像有些狀況.
不知是所有人或只有部份人, 大多數的店員, 竟連簡單的計算, 都要有計算機, 否則算不出來.
例如, 如果花費627元, 我拿出100一張, 20 一個, 再7個一元, 及 1000元一張.
這時, 怹們就會有些亂了. 想很久還沒有答案. 只好我跟怹們說, 請找回500元.
當然還有很多例子, 也不是所有人都算不出, 但遇到不少計算不太會呢. 真是太怪了, 無解.
你的目標是走遍全台灣的老街嗎😆
瓷有分好壞，要買時還是要注意，雖說鶯歌是產陶瓷的，但那裡超多陶瓷是中國製，如果你不想用到輻射污染重金屬的爛土做出來的碗盤，最好購買前確認或問清楚產地，之前去那想買一組全白色的碗盤，結果發現怎麼會有那麼便宜的，當我要開始搜括時，發現旁邊有同樣是全白的碗盤，卻賣的比較貴，問了老闆是貴在哪，他把兩個一樣是全白的盤子擺在一起要我仔細看，便宜的那個土居然真的比較黑耶😳😮……

在台灣喝醉酒最多是鬥毆，在美國喝醉酒就可能是持槍掃射了，當然法律規定會不一樣。
But don’t drink and drive,fine is high.
Peter Chang I’m glad the fine is high. Don’t drink & drive = no fine
Alcohol in public is fine, but DUI and BUI (Behaviour under influence) would be fined and loathsome.
對酒駕罰則不如日本韓國和美國嚴厲
bilingual
台灣喝酒不被討厭的原因，台灣人受到日本的影響，（不要給別人製造困擾的意識觀念），多半不會鬧事。
要嘛就是很嚴重，例如酒駕肇事。不過今天酒駕法令加重，已經又更收斂了。
酒駕問題還是沒有遏止!
新聞還是一堆啊～
雖然加重刑罰，
一堆人也是罰不怕!
還是要專門修法
把酒駕
視為故意殺人罪
或殺人未遂罪!
加上學校 家庭 社會教育
才能慢慢遏止。
🤣🤣🤣
最後一句錯了，台灣人重視教育跟皇帝沒關係！
1 台灣老百姓早期大部份是務農或其他，
只有讓小孩受高等教育才能使小孩以後找到更好工作改善生活
2 私立是專職學校學一技之長的，跟公立學校完全2回事，以前在台灣唸公立學校出來做教職或公務員是最好出路，否則唸比較好的專職學校畢業就很容易被錄取民營公司工作
3 還有一種是公立考不上，改考私立學校，怎麼都會讓你有書唸有事做就是了
4 出國唸書不是個人興趣就是有錢人的調調！
台灣教育跟中國皇帝完全沒關係的，sir!
我想他要說的是古人進京趕考，中了狀元就可以在朝廷當官。這種考試制度沿襲下來就是現在大家重視教育，透過考試維持社會階級流動的原因。
@@emiliac8480
我知道他說什麼啊，他說的情況，可能中國還有的觀念！
但那觀念跟台灣完全沒關係，是我想表達的！
但不管如何，多唸書是好事！
追根究底，國民黨來台利用特權罷佔許多官或教職位，且讓台灣本地人務農，台灣人為了改善生活，才會努力賺錢想讓孩子唸好書，長大可以找好工作不用那麽辛苦的觀念，以前台灣人是很苦的！
我不這麼認為毫無關係！
如果追溯到很久以前的歷史 ，唸書受教育的確就是要求功名啊！
他應該是想表達台灣對於教育的重視 是源自於很久很久以前古代吧
