First Thoughts on Taiwan | Best Things to do in Kaohsiung

[@flyingthenest]

Welcome to Taiwan everybody!! It feels so special to be here and we keep coming across the friendliest locals! What are your plans for the weekend?

[@curetraveldeficiency2398]

Editing our video from our recent Prague trip and catching up on your videos which we missed while we were traveling! By the way, we watched your Prague video before we went... It's always fun to watch your old videos and see how much you have changed! :)

[@peach.y5640]

Flying The Nest what is the name of the hotel u are stayed in right now?

[@danielkim8496]

It's fun.

[@jessica3983]

Welcome to Taiwan. Hope next time you could come to Taichung to explore the beautiful city.

[@kiwitraveller8057]

Taiwanese are the most friendliest people from all the countries I have visited.

[@kaohsiung99]

How recently were you in Kaohsiung?

[@Erik-v6l]

Kiwitraveller 80 thank you

[@Josh92SA]

Guess you haven't been to Hawaii then.

[@WesDaviestravel]

Good luck in Taiwan guys. I live in Kaohsiung and love it here...you're gonna enjoy your stay in this country :)

[@jakelumley9848]

Hi Wes what do you do for work there, i want to move over

[@manyaparashar1111]

Hey there,i am actually travelling to Kaohsiung in July ,if possible could you suggest me about the places i could visit.thank you so much

[@bablisikder3477]

Just visited Taipei recently. It is the most peaceful place I've ever been to. Locals are so friendly and it is so easy to travel around. Love the weather and the food. Truly a hidden gem

[@bunnietime]

I was in Taiwan for a few months a few years back and I agree. Taiwan is the friendliest country I've ever been to. It's a really special place

[@ashleigh_harrison]

Wow Taiwan looks incredible! I love the guy in the background watching you guys eat your shave ice!

[@sammi0923113355]

I was just randomly searching "travel vlog Taiwan" and came across this video! I'm literally crying and having goosebumps. Thank you so much for sharing your experience in Taiwan! It's just so amazing that people are super nice and most travellers agree to that! Thank you so much for this! We always welcome you back to our country!

[@kikaykimy]

I visited Taiwan last year, December and yes, I super agree. The Taiwanese people are super friendly!! They go above and beyond to help you, as in! Someday, I’d like to explore more of Taichung and would love to visit Kaoshing, because of this vlog! You create great contents. I saw your Blog and it’s amazing! Love your vlogs too!

[@kk61778]

not only Kaohsiung's food and the people deserve you to come around , by far we had a greatest mayor of Taiwan Kaohsiung in 2018, guess what ? he will be our next president of R.O.C on Jan in 2020 without the shadow of the doubt .

[@TheSeasme]

@@kk61778 what the heck man no one would like to know this nonsense n cares bout tha doesn't help at all

[@missfoxx247]

I'm so happy you guys love Taiwan! We were pleasantly surprised as well when we went a couple of years ago. It's really underrated but amazing! I'm not sure if you're able, but definitely recommend Taroko National Park - it's just beautiful.

[@Redman2109]

I went to taroko last year, it was awesome.

[@mariaejohns]

we just got back from kaohsiung last weekend and could not get over how friendly the people were, they made our trip. So so wonderful!! great video guys. we want to go back to taiwan for sure!

[@deltronlee8064]

Taiwan is by far one of the Richest and most advanced countries in Asia. On top of that, living expense is low cost

[@susanwang266]

Taiwan has one of the best food varieties around, from breakfast to the night markets. If the line is long, you know it'll be good. Enjoy Taiwan

[@JohannyRafaela]

Taiwan is beautiful! I'm adding it to my travel list right now!.

[@andyt8216]

Me too. Absolutely in 2021!

[@johnsymons76]

So glad you are visiting Taiwan and enjoying it! It is a beautiful place with such friendly and kind people! I lived there for 10 years and this video brings back many happy memories and thoughts of the wonderful friends I made in Taiwan. Thanks!

[@venomvon]

You guys just radiate such positive and joyous energy through the screen, I am so tempted to book a trip with Anywhere now!!

[@kagiwadoko]

My husband is from Kaohsiung! I love Taiwan so much! This trip seems really well planned and locals seem to be suggesting all the best things to eat as well! It looks like you will be going to the night market in the next video which is wonderful. I personally also love the art tea houses drinking gong fu tea, Taiwanese bakeries, stinky tofu, and xiao long tang bao or soup dumplings. I hope you fall in love with Taiwan as much as I have!

[@brianchristeenscarpa9098]

Taiwan is so beautiful! I hope you have an awesome time there!

[@EvaUnit_01]

Taiwan looks so cool!

[@nealnews7763]

When thinking of travelling, taiwan is not on my bucket list but after seeing your vlog you made me change my mind. Youre such a good vlogger. Congrats

[@nickandhelmi]

Re-watching this video again for our Taiwan adventures 😆 Love the playlist🙌

[@flyingthenest]

Ahh hope you have any amazing time 💛

[@mark-ni5ey]

Its such an amazing place

[@fentom723]

I just came from your Turkey series, I wanted to say that you are the kindest people I have ever seen on the internet. Thank you for showing us the world, while being kind and respectful to the people, cultures and religions. You are truly unique in your ways. I wish to live in Australia someday, and now I whole heartedly believe I will be amongst the best people in the world.

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

Of all the things I miss from my vacation in Taiwan last year, Taiwanese breakfast food is very close to the top of my list, but shaved ice is number one.

[@EmilyClaireDaly]

I’m currently writing speeches this weekend for my upcoming tour guiding job in Europe... but now there’s a part of me wishing it was for Taiwan!!! *Adds* *to* *my* *neverending* *bucketlist*

[@flyingthenest]

oh wow what an amazing job!! Good luck with the trip!

[@DANandNAK]

We were thinking about going to Taiwan and now we know for sure we have to! 😍😍

[@flyingthenest]

Its awesome! and we haven't seen any other westerners since we arrived!

[@ukgaryowen]

Flying The Nest Taipei is the city with the most western tourists

[@madzanderson281]

I can not believe I never thought about going to Taiwan, it is absolutely beautiful and has definitely found a place high on my "to-go" list! What an awesome experience!!

[@jocelynhuang7759]

Welcome to Taiwan.

[@rckjiang]

Welcome to Taiwan!!! I'm so glad you're enjoying my country and my home town!!! Enjoy the hospitality!!! You're making me miss home so much!!!

[@wanderlostboy3958]

Out of all the travel vlogs I’ve watched over the years, yours has provided the most information. It’s made planning my travels a lot easier! So, thank you! 🙌🏼🗺❤️

[@flyingthenest]

ahh this makes us so happy :)

[@paulacnote]

Love the music and the fact you get up early for the sunrises and you go to the tourist places before anyone is there! Keep it up please x

[@logan0526]

Welcome to my hometown....Kaohsiung city.....

[@akalina]

So cool! I'll be in Taiwan next week for Spring Break!

[@Luna11420]

It was so cool seeing how much you enjoyed Kaohsiung! I love living here, happy travels!

[@fablesounds21]

Taiwan is on my bucket list, now. It looks so much fun.

[@EdPal]

I've been here, in Kaohsiung. The people are the nicest of all. So inspiring!

[@kyliek.9481]

The videography 😍. I feel like I’m in the video and it feels like a dream!

[@amac0190]

Omg that man watching you both with the shaved ice! I think he was enjoying Jess's love for something that was probably so regular and simple to him as a local. I hope it reinvigorated his love for small things and for his own food and culture. I love seeing tourists in my own country enjoying things that I would normally just pass by on my way to work... Helps keep me grounded and continuously thankful. Thanks for the great video! 😘

[@Josesomewhere]

So happy to see this! I love Taiwan!! Been going there every summer for the past three years :)

[@ChillyDunk]

That guy across the table during the shaved ice reallyyyyy wanted to hang out with you two hahahaha That Buddhist temple was spectacular looking! The very ornate pagodas in sequence up to the large golden Buddha, amazing :)

[@flyingthenest]

haha didn't even notice him :P

[@rebekahhildebrand349]

I looked through the comments to see if anyone else noticed him. He was really watching you.

[@ChillyDunk]

@@rebekahhildebrand349 Right?!!?! lol

[@michellecheng3826]

Being a Taiwanese, I guess he’s being so eager to chat with you guys lol

[@ChillyDunk]

@@michellecheng3826 I think so :)

[@CodysFairytale]

What a beautiful country, your so lucky having experiences like this

[@scion171777]

Amazing footage!! Taiwan is indeed a hidden gem in Asia 😍. Been living here in Taiwan for 3 years now and have never been to the south 😭

[@DarcyCardinal]

I already miss Taiwan. And I really wished I explored Kaohsiung more!

[@ShortTravelImpressions]

Thanks for sharing this video. It really helped us out when we where in Taiwan last August. We really like your videos! :)

[@christmastreecat]

Sorry, my English is not very well, I am a Kaohsiung person. I used a little Google translation and wanted to say something thank you! Kaohsiung is my hometown, thank you for making this beautiful video in Kaohsiung! I live in Taichung now, and I miss my hometown very much after watching it. Kaohsiung is great! Welcome everyone to here! By the way, Kaohsiung’s breakfast like eating quiche(蛋餅) or rice balls(飯糰) more than soy milk or fritters! Very recommended trying! 蛋餅: Eggs, flour, shallots, and more delicious ingredients 飯糰: Rice, and more delicious ingredients 鍋燒意麵 (Guō shāo yì miàn): The noodles that can be bought at the Kaohsiung breakfast shop.

[@tiethsrose813]

The food you eat so delicious and I mesmerizing the country was so beautiful...

[@queenofsheba5846]

So glad you guys were on my recommendations. I love everything about you guys already. They way you edit the videos, how positive you guys are and so cute as a couple. Taiwan is definitely on my bucket list now. Thanks for taking us with you🙏🏽

[@Eclaire009]

Loving this Taiwan series!

[@KatieDaniel]

Half way through my study abroad trip in Europe and just found your channel. I have become obsessed with travel since January. I can't wait to come along you your trip journeys through your videos! This is so cool! I hope to go to Asia one day!

[@SH-hx7bx]

What a wonderful experience.

[@bellaschuster6076]

My friends MARVEL about Taiwan! I need to come here! Had a layover in Taipei for 3 hours but got delayed to 12 hours and sooo wish I would’ve known sooner so I could check out the city!

[@andylai7542]

Please do not miss the beef noodle, the onion pancake and the Ding Tai Fung Xiao Lung Bao/steam soup dumplings! Must haves or you have not been to Taiwan!

[@flyingthenest]

ohh yum! Thanks for the all the food recommendations!

[@TangovagabondTV]

Ding Tai Fung seems overrated here in the States, and generally overpriced? Maybe it's more reasonable back in Taiwan?

[@jennaelsammak7679]

Tango Vagabond things are ALWAYS better where they originate. Mexican food better in Mexico, Chinese food better in China, and then I bet Taiwanese food is better in Taiwan

[@richellozala1985]

Yes Taiwanese are friendly🙂

[@kaohsiung99]

They were 100x friendlier back in the 1990s...before smart phones.

[@defyingodds]

9:43 u genuinely made that guys day eating the same. Shows how good people are their

[@sheentheexplorer3859]

Excited to visit Taiwan

[@r-manescabel7784]

Taiwan is a nice place and some of the nicest people Ive met. specially the guy at the hotel I think he is the owner of one plus one hotel. he even gave us some take aways during our checkout

[@SLYx207z]

My sister just depart from there last March 12, 2019 after working there for 5 years. Another great video to follow from my only favorite travel vlogger couple.

[@ccTzy]

What makes me go back to this channel often? The video is well-presented that it gives joy to your heart while and after watching it. It makes you appreciate life and living. Thank you to our lovely couple hosts!❤️

[@ip10001982]

Taiwan is such a beautiful country, been there thrice last year and every visit was absolutely amazing. Made quite a few Taiwanese friends as they were truly friendly, the food is awesome. I also had an encounter with a friendly Uber driver and I can’t wait to go back there. Just thinking were to go next perhaps something off the beaten path as I have visited Kaohsiung, Taichung, Taipei and all other popular destination in the north. Lots of love from Manila :)

[@nislaav6712]

Ditch the crowded places and head to a small, less popular but not at all less spectacular little city, hell yeah! Really inspiring! And also, the lack of people in this little city just shows how underrated it is, but daaaaamn it's insanely beautiful.

[@andycabauatan3217]

Awesome to see how you guys are enjoying every step of life Stephen and Jess! You guys are my inspiration for my vlogs

[@constance1750]

I've been to many countries before, I still think Taiwan & Japan are equally awesome countries. Except, its more expensive in Japan. Therefore, I also think Taiwan is perhaps the # place to visit in the world. Great video... Awesome :)
