As a Taiwanese, I want to tell you that living in Hsinchu is windy & chilly in winter, but it doesn’t rain a lot also. But it would be humid and rainy from March to June, so you better have a dehumidifier in your home.

[@LayersOfJenn]

We have an air purifier that also is a dehumidifier that we brought from Japan! Just one though so, maybe we will have to get another eventually :)

[@duncandunk771114]

@@LayersOfJenn yes, especially in room of clothes & luxury hand bags, it is so humid in spring and plum rain season (March to June) that those will easily get musty.

[@LayersOfJenn]

*Don't forget to like this video* Also, to note with the bonsai seller.. I *think* is was bc the price was maybe bad luck so he gave us that deal. It could be a lot of other reasons too because he did talk A LOT to us but sadly, we couldn't understand much. Google translate helped a bit though. ANYWAYS, he was SO sweet ❤️

Have you ever considered getting an ili translator? I bought one years ago to use for work and then ended up leaving my job and moving because my dad had a heart attack, so I wanted to go home and be closer to him. Funny enough I have my English to Mandarin and Mandarin to English translators still that I never did get a chance to use. But they have greatly improved their software now.

Jenn, the snake plant doesn’t like direct sunlight and during winter you really don’t have to water it much at all. Summer though, I would water it every 30 days as the man said. I have many snake plants and I don’t even water it that often. If your unsure you can get measuring tools to check on the moist.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Noted!! The sun doesn’t hit where I have it on the tv stand~ and I put a chopstick deep into the soil so when I pull it out, I can see if the soil is dry or not! At least that’s what a KZbin video told me to do😅👌🏻

[@treskro3]

@@LayersOfJenn it is 'New Bamboo', but the etymology is actually pretty interesting. The original Taiwanese aboriginal people who lived in the area called it something like 'tekcham' (the original word is lost to history). When Han Chinese settlers from Fujian started settling in the area in the 18th century, they phonetically approximated that word in Taiwanese Minnan as 竹塹 'tik-tsham' meaning 'bamboo barrier'. Later on during the Japanese colonial period the first character 竹 'bamboo' was reappropriated as an abbreviation in the city name 新竹 (Japanese Shinchiku, Taiwanese Sin-tik, Mandarin Xinzhu/Hsinchu) and other towns like Zhubei 'Bamboo North', Zhudong 'Bamboo East' and Zhunan 'Bamboo South'.

[@jillipepper5353]

It looks like an exciting city so far, lots of shopping , The Hola store reminds me of The area of IKEA where you pick stuff up, the lighting and curtain area anyway. The apartment is looking good, I’ve been on the hunt for sheets myself, it’s a pain when you can’t find what you want. You’re lucky you finally found ones you like. I think part of the problem is I want to wallpaper one wall and I can’t find the right paper so I can’t settle on bedding till I find that. I saw one I love in a video of someone I follow in Sweden.......not much chance of finding that in Halifax though.😥 I’m happy the apartment is starting to feel like home, are you starting to get stir crazy yet? You lived an active and social life in Japan, now not working, T being at work all day and you don’t know a lot of people yet, I’d be getting antsy and frustrated. I thought I’d love not having to work, finally having time to do all the things I’d put off until I retired🙄. That lasted about a month and then I was bored out of my mind, missed kids I’d spent 25+ years working with. I ended up working part time and volunteering . I hope you get to meet new people soon so you can get out and have some fun.🙋🏼

[@LayersOfJenn]

Haha no I’m not getting stir crazy just yet bc if I want to go outside, I can!! Ask me in a couple months though haha. & the place I said reminded me of Home Depot was actually not hola, it was another place next to it. Hola was next door and it looks like when you walk around the ikea show rooms! I didn’t film much bc a man named Ivan there helped me look for everything & was SOOOOO kind ♥️

The amazing thing to notice in the old days on the scooters and motorcycles were the women sitting sidesaddle doing their nails while their "driver" possibly husband motored across town... I am not sure that exists any more.

[@michimalko]

Thank you :)

I am not sure if you heard yet, but each receipt includes a lotto (because it is Taiwan's simple solution to retail taxation efficiency) so, the numbers at the top of the receipt can be checked I think on ODD months on the 25th, for winning up to 2 million NT (depending on exchange rate around $80,000 USD, or for Canadian Dollars over 100,000 right now) You are living in a great part of Taiwan that became the high tech center !

新竹市！巨城！假日花市！

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes Hsinchu flower market :)

[@shih-kuanyang9076]

Welcome to Hsinchu! Hsinchu is well-known for its Hakka food! You should try it! Good luck.

[@LayersOfJenn]

I want to go to the persimmon farm in the mountains here that dry them~ someone told me is had a lot to do with the Hakka ~

[@TheNigitube]

在新竹市

[@jason-om6jm]

Welcome to Taiwan, I'm living Hsinchu too. Driving car is more convenience in Hsinchu, an app "iRent" that can rent the car somewhere. Have a good time !

[@LayersOfJenn]

Unfortunately I cannot drive 😅 but I agree driving would making living here a lot easier ~

[@sherylstraza1714]

I love the way you say wooooooow!!! lol

[@LayersOfJenn]

Hhahahaha my hubby and I both say it like that as a joke at first but, it kinda stuck 😅

[@KonichiwaItsDani]

oo i love natural kitchen !! their plates are all so cute and cheap, i ended up buying all of my kitchenware there when i moved to yokohama lol had you ever been to one of the shops while you were in japan? :0

[@LayersOfJenn]

Haha no I haven’t actually!! I had no idea it was a Japanese brand (possibly) until I went there & looking at the tags then read the Japanese haha

[@katymaecleveland9169]

Lol! When Jen said "google translate" my phone opened up google translate!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Oopsssss lol

[@yvonnenippsonribbs1811]

Everything is coming together nicely ...... you missed your calling ....interior disigner !!

[@LayersOfJenn]

Haha did I 😂👌🏻

[@staarvsraainbow]

Taiwan No.1! (No seriously Taiwan is amazing!)

[@LayersOfJenn]

I am enjoying it here :)

[@ngomez2551]

I'm watching Yasahime! Loving your videos in Taiwan. 😊

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yayyyyy!! Can’t wait for episode 4 this weekend !!

[@matejabacko]

I am watching the video and thinking: Wait, when did this happen?:D Like yesterday you were talking how you want to move that apartment in Japan but it was too complicated and now you are in Taiwan in a huuuge apartment :))) Time is going so fast! And yeah, I've noticed how different you are when T is filming you. You seem a bit nervous or something I don't know, I might be wrong. It's very cute though ❤️

[@LayersOfJenn]

Do I seem nervous!? I think I get more shy bc people stare more when a camera is being pointed at you by someone else. Usually I’m sneaky and just whip out the camera and film. And yeah one of the reasons we didn’t move was incase we were ok’d to move abroad actually :)

[@matejabacko]

@@LayersOfJenn maybe shy is a better description yes:)

[@andersonliao5736]

welcome to Hsinchu and enjoy the wind

[@LayersOfJenn]

Thank you!!

[@SamiaCreative]

Hello! I normally watch everything from my bf account because it's too late and his account has all my preferences etc. and he gets better recommendations for me than my own account lol but it makes commenting confusing so I've logged into my own account to comment. I love your channel, have been binging all your old Japan vlogs and I'm still not done yet (will be sad when I am though😭). Love the food, clothes and general life. You seem like a nice person :) Love from London x

[@LayersOfJenn]

Wow thank you for taking the time to watch my old vlogs ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@punkaltdelete5702]

I totally need to start Yashahime. I was a big Inuyasha fan. Watched all the series and the movies.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Ohhh you might like it then!! It’s totally fulfilling me atm

[@Mocha-Cloud]

This was a great vlog!! :')

[@LayersOfJenn]

♥️♥️♥️

[@lezard228]

這裡的答案是新竹花市.只有六日才有的花市.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Yes it’s only on the weekends~

[@YasmeenMO]

The flower market is so pretty and cute

[@LayersOfJenn]

Very cute and long!

[@YasmeenMO]

@@LayersOfJenn So much variety to and yes very long

[@djmaciiii]

I knew you were in Hsinchu when I recognized the mall you went to. Not of ton of westerners living there, but not a lot of westerners where I live in (15 km away) in Yangmei either.

[@LayersOfJenn]

Haha I think a lot of Taiwanese or people living in Taiwan recognize big city!! Thank you for not mentioning it until I did :)
