Zara in Taipei during sale season is crazy! I bought like 10 - 15 items around 2 years ago a Zhongxiang Fuxing Zara and I only paid like $250ish

I googled the price of this train and I’m shook 😭 Why are Japanese bullet trains so overpriced compared to this omg!!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes, the HSR is so reasonable. I mean grated the distance between cities is smaller than Japan but I’m not sure if that makes a huge impact or not?

[@AllisoninTokyo]

@@LayersOfJenn It is quite close for you! Will have to research more 🧐

[@Ambie86]

I remember when polo shirts were SO the thing to have lol!!! The Monday shirt is really cute; loved the vlog as always:)

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you~ and right lol!? Fashion always comes back.

[@katymaecleveland9169]

I love your personal style and simplified wardrobe. I struggle to find my style but REALLY struggle with pairing down and deciding what is worth keeping. Do you have a criteria for your closet? What do you find most important when deciding -- color, fit, how often it's worn? Please help! 😊

[@LayersOfJenn]

I think about more than a year ago now I started to refine my closet and only buy things within a certain colour palette and almost no items that have a bold pattern. I usually stick to beige, brown, white, black, blue, and maybe sometimes a green or red (very rare). I’ve found this has helped a lot ~ Also as for fit, I mostly just buy whatever! I know some people don’t like oversized fashion but, I love it too!

[@ashleymarie_b88]

❤️ Love those fierce nails girl! It feels so nice to get them done occasionally. Especially when you work in a profession that doesn't really allow it. (I work with animals so paint chips quick or acrylic pop off sometimes) Also I'm so glad to hear you're meeting new people!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes you know the struggle then with getting your nails done~ and thank you!

[@張由由-r5r]

Southern part of Taiwan is still hot in this time of year, especially for places like Kenting Peninsula, Hiso-lieu-chiu island in Kaoshiung city, or Green Island in south-easten part of Taiwan. You can swim and dive into the ocean seeing coras and lots of colorful tropical fishes beneith. If you prefer hikes and mountain views, you can go anywhere from north to south, but east part of Taiwan is of couse the best, if you've got a few days off, or it'll be too waste for time and money. Those above were just my own opinions.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I really REALLY want to do it all!! Snorkeling, visiting islands, hiking mountains, etc

[@luluzulu183]

Aww Jen , I really am enjoying your new adventures . ❤️❤️❤️God bless you and T ❤️❤️hugs and love from LA .

Love the shops there, the last one you went, the buildings were beautiful.

[@LayersOfJenn]

It had delicious food too~

[@arrrvba]

Oh yeah.... the breakfast places in Taiwan. Good times, good times. When I last visited the "dazzling cafe" chain was THE place to indulge in honey toast.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I remember that actually when I was here like 12 years ago! Everyone wanted that box like toast 😂

[@zenithian15]

Yay for getting organized! 👏👏👏 I've been spending a lot of money on shelving and organizers recently in an attempt (so far only mildly successful) to control the clutter in my room. Next step is getting rid of stuff I don't use. lol Also, love the nails and the new bedspread (and I agree - there's no such thing as too many pillows) 😉💅🛏️💤

[@LayersOfJenn]

It’s such a process organizing lol.. I feel like it takes forever but worth the end result!

[@SoraCyn]

Question: is the current full-time vlogger situation going to be permanent for your duration in Taiwan (cause I really do enjoy the new frequency of uploads), or is it temporary whilst you find a new job? (Also: Im not on TikTok, so I guess I’ll have to miss a bunch of content from you 🤧)

[@LayersOfJenn]

I actually don’t have plans to work here in Taiwan so, I hope to keep uploading as much as I can because I’m really enjoying it! ☺️ And I usually share things from tiktok on IG stories (sometimes). No need to get tiktok if it makes your feel uncomfortable bc I know not everyone wants yet another app on their phone 😂

[@tarabooartarmy3654]

I like the name of that restaurant. ACME Breakfast Club. So much nostalgia and puns. ACME is the generic brand used in all the old cartoons like Bugs Bunny, Wile E Coyote and the Roadrunner, etc. The name has the initials ABC. And The Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies. Just cool.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Ahhh is that why everyone keeps talking about the name lol. I have no clue 😂😅

[@laurenholmey5497]

hiiii, thank you for the video!! i had a little question for when you take the HSR, do you have assigned wagon/seats or do you just go in wherever you want and seat where you want like the metro for exemple? thank youuuu sending lots of love :)))

Hey~ actually you can choose! Most cars are assigned seating but, there are a few that it’s first come first serve! There is also a standing section and those tickets are even cheaper ~

Because Taiwan has no domestic covid-19 case for more than 200 days. Despite this wearing a mask is mandatory when you are in hospital, clinic, public transportation, and any crowded indoor place.
