I've been to over 20 countries and just visited Taiwan for the first time and can honestly say it's my favourite so far. Heavily underrated and a hidden gem. The people are incredibly hospitable and will go the extra mile to assist you even if they don't speak much English, the food is amazing, the ease of transportation is super convenient and the country as a whole is pocket friendly so if you're a budget traveller it's an ideal place to visit.

[@worldcitizen997]

“kiss and ride” is a temporary drop off/pick up spot, so you kiss your loved one goodbye after being dropped off (or greeting kiss being picked up) at the station. You two are excellent tour guides for us viewers! I visited Taiwan a few months ago and rode high speed train too. I want to go down south next time after watching you guys having so much fun!

[@stevelee318]

welcome to our city, Kaohsiung. thank you for introducing Taiwan to people around the world. Hope you and all they like our country. All of you are welcome to visit Taiwan and Kaohsiung City.

[@bobbyb2725]

I used to travel to Taiwan for work around 4 times a year. I found the people to be very courteous and friendly. I miss it!

[@tommasyu5136]

I was really moved when I watched this video. The statue at the end is Xuantian Shengdi, a deity in Taoism, commonly worshipped by people on both sides of the strait. Our tradition involves celebrating every 12 years, equivalent to the Chinese zodiac cycle. When it's time to welcome Xuantian Shengdi, the village throws a grand feast, inviting friends from all over to share in the joy. Welcoming Xuantian Shengdi is akin to welcoming peace, and this is a common tradition across the Taiwan Strait. It feels so familiar and heartwarming. Thanks to the blogger for sharing.

[@chiehlilee9224]

🇺🇸🇹🇼 the card game they are playing is called “The Big Two”. You can play it with poker cards or multiple decks of poker cards. The goal is to get rid of all the cards as quickly as possible. It’s kind of like a trick taking game (like hearts) mixed with poker. You shuffle the deck and deal all the cards out evenly amongst all the players. The first player can play a single card, a pair, 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind or a full house (2 of a kind + 3 of a kind). The next player must follow the same (a single, a pair…) but the value must be equal or larger or pass if you cannot play the same. The largest number is 2 and it wraps around with 3 being the smallest. Suites also matter in the same order as poker. You may pass strategically and jump back in later as long as not everyone has passed. You continue following the same until everyone has passed. The winner of the round starts the next round deciding the new pattern everyone must follow in the new round. Whoever is able to get rid of all the cards in their hand first is the winner.

[@trulysincereabc]

This is the first time I watch yall (liked and subscribed soon after of course) and i already think i can get along with shev’s tastebuds her food looks sooo good

[@delaquassonho9140]

1:12:45 that game is called "big 2", super fun game with ideally 3-4 people where instead of Ace being the trump card, 2 is the best in the game! Just imagine 3 players, with the deck split evenly between the 3. You can play most poker hands (singles, pairs, straight, full house, four of a kind, royal flush, etc.) in response to other people. Whoever discards all their cards first wins. Very fun game you should learn it, very simple to pick up as well. So a few rules: > If you win the current hand, you could put whatever hand next. Eg. you put down pair of Ace and no one else wants to challenge, you can begin next round with whatever hand you desire > If opponent puts down pairs, you have to put down pairs of higher value/suit, else you pass. If opponent puts down full house, you can only play full house, etc. > Four of a kind/royal flushes are rare, so they're considered "bombs". No matter what hand the opponent plays, you can throw down a bomb in response. (As long as your bomb trumps his bomb, like a King four of a kind > Jack four of a kind) > Royal flush bombs trump Four of a kind bombs. Random stuff: > People across Asia have different house rules, different suit orders, etc. Just ask the dealer how he likes to play and those are the house rules. e.g. some allow 3 of a kind, two pairs, some allow 3 of a kind to "trump" a two pair. I don't follow those rules cuz I think they're cheap hehe but play with whatever rules you like. > Whoever has 3 of clubs has to start the game with 3 of clubs (could be whatever hand, like a pair, straight, etc.) > So 52/3 isn't whole, there will be one mystery card left in the middle. Whoever has 3 of clubs (shittiest card in the deck) will take it to make their hand 18 cards (assuming odd number of people are playing) > The name is kind of a play on the Mandarin term "big 2", which could mean big dick, as in if you got the 2 of Spades you could "swing ur big dick around" lol.

I'm Taiwanese, living in Kaohsiung. So glad you enjoyed trip here!! I am also left-handed, it's ok to use chopsticks with left hand. And it's really a saying that left-handed people are smart 😂 For high speed railway, because you don't have enough time. Actually you can just get on the train, no matter which car number is, and then walk inside the train to your car number and straight for your seats.😊 For "Kiss and Ride", actually that translation was been on the news before. 🤣 Because it's not normally use. It's means "Pick- up Area".

[@lunaslave1]

And for claw machines, it's depends on the owners of machines. Because some are rigged, and most of them have a guaranteed price. If you play (spend) it for the guaranteed price, and you can get it. And Kaohsiung Ligh Rail, you can use your easy cards to take the light rail. It was still under construction at 2023, and all done this year.

大老二（dalaoer) is a 4player- card game where 2 is the biggest )instead of As) each will get 13cards and who finishes getting rid of the cards first wins. You start with the smallest card ie 3 ♦️ ( cards can be disposed in 1, pairs, triplets or 5s (similar to gin rummy))

I'm originally from Scotland but have called Hong Kong home for over 20 years now and in that time I've visited Taiwan at least a dozen times. My first few visits were all short paid work visits but even during those where I had limited time to explore and it was all just Taipei, I absolutely fell in love with Taiwan. The people are incredibly friendly and helpful, the food is delicious and - as I found when I did longer self funded vacation trips - the nature and hiking is really fantastic. Taiwan for me is one of the most kind of under the radar gems for travellers. The number of times people have said "oh yes Thailand is great" and I've had to say "no - Taiwan!" 🙄😂

26:05 If I recall correctly, the English used to make a sausage called black pudding by mixing beef blood with chip liver and rice and stuffing it into an intestine casing. I’m not sure if it’s still around, but I remember seeing it as a kid growing up. There was also a sausage called white pudding that was made with rice and intestine stuffing, but I’m not sure what kind of meat was used because the liver was red. All I know is that it had a pale white appearance.

It looks so crowded now. When we went to Taipei 101 in 2004 it is surrounded with open spaces with trees and park. Looks like a metal and stone city now. And when we went to CKS Memorial standing on the courtyard gave a feeling of tranquility and expanse of views but now so many eyesores of buildings blocking one's view. Price of over-commercialism.
