Taipei is my favorite city. It adopted me and I, it - many years ago. We are family. It is beyond awesome. We plan to move the whole family there.

[@alaska9766]

Taiwan is super clean, safe n developed. ppl are nice n civil ❤. This is a country way underestimated.

[@charlesdenman9052]

Take the MRT redline to Yuanshan station, take the free shuttle bus to the Grand Hotel. You cannot get to the hotel by walking, you have to take the free shuttle or a bus from the bus stop outside the station (almost any bus will do) that takes you across the river and bridges. Get off and walk to the Grand Hotel. It sits high on a hill and is reference point. Can’t miss it.

[@tracyl7495]

I live in New York and during these long winter months I really miss Taiwan. You guys should do the hot springs at the end of MRT, hike Teapot mountain and do river trekking on the eastern side of Taiwan. Those experiences you will not forget. They are on my bucket list.

[@HobartsAbroad]

We went to Eastern side but we will definitely have to come back to explore more of Taiwan! Thanks for your tips 😊

[@user-eu8yk9ed9e]

Welcome back to tell one again soon台灣🇹🇼 You are always welcomed.❤

[@MedianaDhea]

Amazing video. Please upload more Taiwan vlog.

[@HobartsAbroad]

[@HobartsAbroad]

The very breakfast shop I often go and enjoy my breakfast around AM 6，then take a relaxing walk within Liberty Square park

[@HobartsAbroad]

How cool! Thanks for sharing your spot :)

[@warrenandyiching]

My parents came from Taiwan so I have been many times. Like you, I think Taiwan is massively underrated. Certainly a first time visitor to Asia should hit Japan, China, and Thailand first but I would put Taiwan on a tier below them. As you said, prices are very cheap, the country is clean, and the people are friendly.

[@staybear]

sameee like the food>>>>

[@secrets.295]

Taiwan is great and it has its own charm, but I definitely don't think Japan, Thailand, China is a tier below Taiwan.

[@warrenandyiching]

@@secrets.295 I think if you read my post carefully, you will see I am saying the exact opposite.

[@blackn7150]

​​@@warrenandyiching Have to disagree with China. Communist China over actual Chinese cu.ture unperverted by cultural revolution. I think not. So fortunate that we have Taiwan .

[@magicalpilgrim]

Why would you list Taiwan below the other countries you reference, particularly the PRC? Taiwan’s people are friendlier, the food is better, it’s a free democratic state as opposed to a Marxist prison country, the healthcare system is better, the scenery is awesome…and no museaum in China can compare to the National Palace Museum……spend a few months there and you’ll never want to leave……

[@jfyhou]

just 5 minutes into your first video. Definitly a 100k subscription channel. Keep it up.

[@user-gv2ku7oi3u]

Wellcome to Taiwan,is Taiwan has to touch your heart!and Taiwan always waiting for your welcome again in any time.

[@maxwetterstrom7790]

Very good vlog u are a very underrated channel

[@HobartsAbroad]

Thank you so much Max, really appreciate the support 🥰

[@miayle9545]

Tyler got the Taiwanese spirit now:) Introducing and sharing Taiwanese foods to foreign friends 🎉 Taiwanese people are aware of the health problems that sugar can cause so most people likes dessert that not as sweet. Afterall, it’s easy to put more sugar in if you find it not sweet than than to dig it out once it’s in :)

[@HobartsAbroad]

Absolutely! We loved experiencing Taiwanese lifestyle 😊

[@nonrepublicrat]

Taipei is by far the #1 best city in the world.

[@charlesdenman9052]

The Grand Hotel has a great restaurant, the bathrooms are awesome. The park behind the hotel is spectacular. Steep dense jungle with well maintained paths and stone steps leading to a peak overlooking all of Taipei. The chairs in the dining room near the entrance are so heavy, I thought they were glued to the floor.

[@caskinghsieh5005]

Wow, I like your filming skill, very professional.

[@sdarkao9297]

歡迎你們來台灣旅遊!!🫶🇹🇼👍 Welcome to Taiwan~!! Hope you have a nice trip!!

[@jamalin3478]

That's probably salted soy milk not soup. FYI not most people's choice but glad you liked it. Hey, douhua is cousin to your soup, all soy products. Nice shot of the cityscape 👍

[@BrianRossall]

Hey guys. Thanks for the great vlog. One caption edit needed, the shrine to 300k war heros named Marty.😂

[@stacywang1005]

Agree! Taiwanese are so lovely and so welcoming.

[@Jimmy-cz2ze]

Well done Tyler! You got a great taste from a Taiwanese perspective. The best comment for a dessert here is literally 'it's not too sweet.'! Most people also choose no sugar/light sugar when ordering bubble tea too!

[@shuang402]

Go south! There you’ll experience the truly genuinely Taiwan culture.

[@more168]

Welcome to Taiwan to enjoy delicious food and beautiful scenery! There are more foods in Taiwan that foreigners have never tasted, as well as scenery unique to Taiwan. Welcome to try it!🎉😊

[@amigoc]

if u love pepper, u must try the pepper buns next time.

[@HobartsAbroad]

Definitely will!! Thanks for the tip :)

[@johnjalee2009]

You should’ve tried the regular, sweetened soy milk instead of the savory kind. The latter is more of a acquired taste, and many locals don’t order as often.

[@user-ob1le1zh2i]

感謝你們推薦台灣～❤️

[@heyjojo1998]

Dohwa is my favorite but I love it with brown sugar syrup!

[@austinreid295]

Thumbs down for confusing Taiwan with China. They are different countries

[@act_sion]

Both are china . Guess what the official name of china is the Republic of China

[@lindalin9844]

That breakfast soup is savory soy milk

[@CindyOu]

There are many Chinese people who go to Taiwan to see the doctors in hospitals. The Taiwan government welcomes all the Chinese people to come to Taiwan for medicine reasons. The Taiwan government open a big door for the Chinese people. The Chinese people and Taiwanese people share the hospitals together. Even, China often says they will attack Taiwan in the future.

[@hadao6525]

thanks

[@TAIWANjasonsuper]

Welcome to Taiwan 😀🇹🇼

[@isaelbernardo5513]

Excelente vídeo! Parabéns 👏👏🤗🤗👏👏

[@HobartsAbroad]

Obrigada!! 🥰

[@indietaiwan]

鹹豆漿的難度等級比臭豆腐還高，台灣人不敢吃鹹豆漿的比不敢吃臭豆腐的還多，外國朋友能吃真的很厲害

[@jada1230]

that’s just silken tofu served warm with fruits and syrup - vegan dessert

[@Spt41007]

Taiwan is absolutely one of the countries that must be on the check list. Welcome back anytime because each part of Taiwan has surprisingly different cultures and you’ll never like to miss any of them :)

[@chiehlilee9224]

The breakfast soup is savory soy milk

[@GlobalTriathlonNetwork]

Look like 2000s Justin Timberlake with those blonde tips

[@nikkster01]

yikes you should have been here in 1990 when I first arrived the MRT was just big holes for making stations only the above ground Zoo line was operating stray dogs everywhere first hurricane was a real eye-opener no Taipei 101 or anything there no Da-An, Fine Art or LinSen parks Shilin Night market was a massive fire waiting to happen a million dirty smokey 50 cc bikes it has cleaned up 1 million %

[@charlesdenman9052]

Liberty Square held massive demonstrations in support of the people of Hong Kong during the communist crackdown - maybe 20,000 people. It was packed shoulder-to-shoulder. I know the restaurant you are looking for. It is across the street from the school. YOU FOUND IT! I had breakfast there maybe 100 times over 5 years. Xiao Long Bao with vinegar. It closes after breakfast time. Open only 1/2 day. People come from Japan for its breakfasts, rich and famous Taiwanese. One couple parked a $2 million (USD) Ferrari out front and ate breakfast with us. It is not far from Roosevelt Blvd. The 208 bus stops nearby, a few blocks away.

[@orangeorange1788]

Just call us Taiwan. thank u!

[@wfireC]

The memorial place for the dead soldiers sometimes would be visited by people from China looking for their missing family members. Sometimes an old man would cry in front of the dead because he found his long missing father.

[@user-nz6ys9ps5q]

Welcome to travel to Taiwan! But I must regret to tell you! Taipei, the capital of Taiwan where you are now, is actually the most boring place in Taiwan! Ha ha! If you all feel good in Taipei! You will be amazed at other places! .😊😊

[@texasburbs4380]

5:11 is there an actual painting of Bill Clinton in a dress in the hotel? Weird....

[@HobartsAbroad]

Yes...

[@xxoo6303]

❤

[@xxoo6303]

👍👍👍

[@user-mc4kh5zl8r]

最美世界島叫台灣國島=謝謝

[@90taetaeya]

Taipei wasn’t for me. Haha. Found it boring. But of course that’s just my opinion. However u guys did a great job in the video.

[@blackn7150]

Boring ? Ha Ha. Go on, tell us where you find interesting. Just for laughs, obviously.

[@Ezrollercool]

[@okayyyy8028]

[@jimmywang6457]
