HITCHHIKING To Hualien: The Kindness Of The Taiwanese People!

[@丹鳥]

太好了~Naick＆Kim順利抵達花蓮，就如同大家說的，用中文在紙板上寫個"花蓮"，更容易得到幫助，還有不敢停下來的多半是對自己英語能力沒自信，就像我只會用中文一樣，我如果不是在KZbin認識Naick＆Kim，我也會猶豫要不要停下來幫助，但從今以後我會努力克服，我要透過google翻譯，來幫助在台灣需要幫助的外國人。

[@NaickKim]

謝謝！

[@0607bobo]

看到最後Kim感性的泛著淚光，我的眼眶也濕了 沒有字幕不知道他們說些什麼，但看著他們的表情也隨著開心喔 真的很佩服二位，光是在37度潮濕高溫下還要背那麽重的背包，我真的只能豎起我的大姆哥說聲“讚啦”👍👍👍

[@SLucas-qs6fj]

bo bo 他們說對臺灣人的友善很感動。他們看起來明顯是外國人，但臺灣人還是不猶豫的讓他們搭便車，甚至買食物給他們吃。他們覺得臺灣人很讚，這麼願意幫助人，尤其是在武漢病毒時期。

This is the most heartwarming video in Taiwan so far Naick and Kim. And like what I have said in my previous comment, the Taiwanese people really don’t fail in their being helpful. Despite language barrier, they were very helpful to me with directions. I miss Taiwan. :-)

[@NaickKim]

Thank you Jonathan, that is so nice to hear. That is precisely why we love to hitchhike, because it reminds us of how much kindness there is in the world and how nice people generally are. It is not the easiest way to get around, but it is the best one for the soul 😉

[@doorstepgems8256]

Hi Guys. Been following you since about a week ago and just LOVE your vids. I'm from Cape Town, South Africa. I lived in Taiwan for the year of 2000. Hualien was our favourite weekend destination, took the slow train from Taoyuan, hitched up the mountain an camped and hiked and swam in the hotsprings. Best memories EVER. Love that place and all the jade rocks - it is breathtaking. Look out for the giant moths, so beautiful. My mom even came to visit me while I ived there, and the two of us hitchhiked to Toroko Gorge. She didnt know what hit her!! So nice to see you going there. Special place and yes, Taiwanese people are the absolute kindest and most helpful. Have fun and keep it up!

[@NaickKim]

Lekkah ;) That sounds like a great adventure. Taiwan is such an amazing place full of great stuff to do. People are just too kind here indeed. How's life in Cape Town now?

[@doorstepgems8256]

@@NaickKim Lekka to hear from you!!!! :D Thx for the reply! Well, Cape Town life right now is a little challenging, the economy is suffering a great blow due to Covid-19 and we also are rapidly approaching our Covid peak - so everyone is gearing for a surge in cases and deaths - which is grim unfortunately. We have been opening up local businesses slowly but surely and it still is one of the most beautiful places on earth, with some STUNNING summery days in mid-winter which is a blessing. Locals are out in droves for walks along the coast and in parks now that there's little else to do - much more than before. I think this lockdown season has reminded us of the beautiful gems on our doorstep. Fantastic to see you guys adventuring and enjoying life amid this global situation, it gives us all hope that things will be OK again so THANK YOU! Also, I'm reliving my time in Taiwan through you - totally in love with the place and finding the fan comments very informative. Because of your vids I'm actually seriously considering coming back as soon as the borders open to work for another year or so - albeit 20 years later! :D Stay safe guys and keep it coming! xxx

Hitchhiking in Orchid Island is quite common. Like Green Island, it is an island of its own. People help each other out all the time on Orchid Island. It doesn't happen as often in the Taiwan main island. Some people chose to bike around Taiwan since there are bike trails all around (but not in the mountain area).

I hitchhiked in Taroko National Park with local friends in Hualien when I was a college student. That was my first time being in Taroko and first experience of hitchhiking.

It would be quite safe to try sole in Taiwan. The people are friendly and the Taiwanese police actually have an app for people can send an emergency signal and the police can find your location.

Among the 16 indigenous tribes recognized in Taiwan so far, Amei tribe is the biggest one and has a population of more than 200,000. They live in Haulian and Taidung area and some moved to big cities. Every year they hold the traditional festival called milisin (豐年祭) in July and August. There are more than 100 villages and settlements tending to hold the festival and they'll talk to each other and hammer a schedule out for each village to host the festival. During the festival, they get together singing, dancing, hunting and enjoy rice wine unique to themselves. Taiwan is considered to be the original place of Austronesian people and they'll be glad to see westerners attend their festival but it's better to bring them some beers as gifts.

"Sometimes it takes you 5 minutes. Sometimes it takes you an hour" made me laugh. I spent 20 years hitchhiking in Australia and New Zealand, pretty much nonstop. When you cross the Nullarbor Plain you can expect to spend 2 or 3 days hitchhiking at Coolgardie, Norseman and Ceduna. The longest I spent, trying to get a lift, was 10 days in Charters Towers, Queensland, and that lift only went around 70kms. I ended up jumping a freight train to Mount Isa

[@羅吉旺-l9m]

真的喔..辛苦你了..怎們那些外國人對你那麼不友善..有機會來台灣玩

[@SEBASTIENCHOU]

Looks Kim’s face,a little bit emotional,right? You could trust Taiwanese people,we won't disappoint our guests😊

[@NaickKim]

Yes maybe a little bit ☺️😉

[@蔡佳軒-y5r]

Welcom to Hualien. Hope I have chance to see you guys.

[@NaickKim]

Thank you! ☺️ If you see us definitely come say hi 🤗☺️

[@蔡佳軒-y5r]

Naick & Kim I can offer some help if you need. I recommend Taroko national park. It’s really worth to see it.
