Living in Taiwan | WHAT TO EXPECT?

[@jamiepoints2310]

If you can get out of Taipei, Taiwan is even better. Tainan is a terrific city in the south. I lived in Hsin Chu and found the people were so friendly. We loved going out to the mountains simply to explore.

[@AC-id5ow]

I think using umbrellas with UV protection on a sunny day is a smart move. The UV is quite intense there, applying sun lotion with that level of humidity is uncomfortable.

[@IrisViruss]

Haha it is quite uncomfortable! I myself hate sticky sunscreens 😂 but you had to see the frequency my mother takes out her umbrella

[@lifeintaiwan]

Agree with you on most things!! Another great video.... keep going!

[@IrisViruss]

🤗🤗🤗 thanks for the kind words!

[@cbhorxo]

Which things do you NOT agree with?

[@BelloBudo007]

Taiwan has such a positive image. I think we like the safety, cleanliness, transport, food & friendly people. Definitely on my 'must go to' list.

[@JanelleRizal]

It's so easy to fall in love with Taipei . Idk what it is it's just magic

[@kimberlycabanas5131]

If I had to pick just one country that I'd drop everything and move to.. it's Taiwan. As a fellow Canadian.. thanks for sharing this :-D

[@IrisViruss]

Really?! Glad to hear that from a Canadian! Though I would drop everything to move back to Toronto.. once I get through the dreadful application process of permenanet residency. Perhaps we should make a trade haha

[@hazardlee6374]

Kimberly Cabanas so pack yourself and come. Do what your heart want you to

[@PieceofAmr]

One of my favorite city in Asia is Taipei

[@ashleylala4293]

I LOVED the subway in Taiwan!!

[@yaowang8937]

Hi. It'll be nice if you could reply. Which language is more used in Taiwan? Han language or Tai language?

[@limwilfred1336]

The pace of the speech is really comfortable

[@也善先生]

I love Taiwan.

[@JanelleRizal]

Taiwanese really do love lining up for anything lol! It's so true

[@IrisViruss]

Lol no joke! More so than other places

[@onekill31]

Looks like they got it from the Japanese.

[@qe7220]

One of my favourite countries I’ve travelled to is Taiwan❤️❤️

[@xinatravel2002]

I'm French I lived in Central China for a Year and I'm gonna move to live in Taiwan and i'm wondering about the living difference, have you experienced it ? (I speak Chinese : important fact for integration at least in China) :)

[@IrisViruss]

Hi Alexiane, I think you will experience a profound change moving to Taiwan from China. At least from my one time experience visiting my friends in Beijing... which isn't a lot lol but feel free to check out my other video which talked about what I learned from traveling to Beijing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpaupIpjbZehbdU

[@xinatravel2002]

Just got the news i'll study in Tamkang University, New Taipei City I think Taiwan is closer to my original country : France. I guess I'll discover it in September, Thanks :D

[@ሠምራ]

Alexiane l'Aventurière Intrépide j'allais te demander comment c'était au final mais je vois que tu as posté ce commentaire il y a à peine 2 mois

[@Conighttonight]

I really respect the fact you moving to a country you speak the native language of, native English speakers usually think they just speak their language anywhere and get away with it, sickens me ¬¬

[@felipecaceres6585]

Super informative! Thanks! I am from Toronto but have been living in Thailand for 10 months, thinking about coming to Taiwan for a month in April. Which areas would you say are best?

[@IrisViruss]

Oh for an entire month! You will have more than enough time to travel the whole island! I suggest you to start from Taipei where English is widely spoken. Just to get you familiarizing with the country and the culture, then advancing to the southern territory. Taipei is incredibly convenient with its public transportation from metro to the bus. As you travel south, you will probably want to rent one of those scooters to get around 🛵

[@jasminlambert2002]

Hey, great videos! Perfect for my 1 month stay in Taipei ; )

[@loveinatincanclintericka]

This is very helpful! I do have a few questions. My husband and I would like to move to Taipei for six months for some mandarin schooling. Do you have any advice for finding an apartment? Where to shop, and if Taiwanese language is much different than Mandarin.

[@IrisViruss]

Taiwanese is a dialect that is essentially like Cantonese which is only spoken. When written, it writes like Mandarin Chinese. You wouldn't necessarily need to know Taiwanese if you plan to move to Taipei though you might pick up a few words along the way. Here's a link to apartment renting for the English speakers: www.rentaltw.com/ but if you can read basic Mandarin here's another one: rent.housefun.com.tw/ Shopping is mostly taken place at Xinyl and Daan districts

[@Conighttonight]

I lived in Japan for 2 years and I really, really hated people with their umbrellas up in the sun lol its like WHEN do you enjoy the weather?!

[@joshdelarama2601]

Its an asian thing 😂

[@AyubuKK]

Konaito It’s to keep their skin from tanning.

[@thangvu1350]

2020 and i am watching this video, you have humor

[@Blackridge.]

Guys, taiwan vs indonesia vs malaysia vs singapore. For living as an expat for a long time. What can you advise?

[@AfroAsiaticLanguages]

Motoko Kusanagi is in Taiwan.

[@peaceandpaintbrushes]

Hi! So I am moving to Taipei soon, my first full day will be March 1st. Are you still in Taipei? Was wondering if you would like to meet up and have tea and talk about taiwan a bit 😊. I’ve researched kinda what to expect and I’ll be searching for jobs (teaching) while there but it would be nice to have a friend when I get there as I’m an American woman 美國 女人 （slowly learning mandarin lol) traveling alone.

[@catarinatavares475]

I'm currently taking a degree in tourism in Évora University and I was planning to work in taiwan but have little information about it. Does anyone know if its foreigner friendly? Does taiwan accept easily foreigners that want to work in travel agencies?

[@aataa322]

What the best for study in taiwan or Canada

[@aim-for-greatn3z947]

Lol this video remind me of living in new York. I just wonder if the people are nicer in Taiwan

[@IrisViruss]

Hahaha that's a very relative question that you will have to experience for yourself!

[@pedroeu8647]

The guy in the metro scratching the balls kskskskskskks

[@shoufen]

Lovely! Talk more taiwan

[@kaneashataylor5094]

I might be moving to Taichung and I am a disabled vet worried that I won't get medical care. Is that something I should be worried about? What is your favorite thing to do in Taiwan?

[@IrisViruss]

Umm I believe the foreigners can receive medical care if they were to pay a monthly fee for public healthcare program. I dare say healthcare in Taiwan is relatively efficient and affordable compared to that of the other countries. Favorite thing to do for me is Taiwan is to explore all the hidden restaurant gems tugged away in quiet streets 😄 the variety of food offered in Taiwan is truly surprising

[@seaoftears9023]

Hi- i plan to move to Taipei in 2 months taipei. Do you have idea how much room rental for 1 bedroom let say 40sqm. How much the cost of living there Thank you very much

[@sheripeterson7788]

You make me miss Taiwan.

[@sbshuvo9631]

Can you please help to get admission into a University actually i want to study in Taiwan... Currently i am studying in a Chinese University but i want to go Taiwan

[@925comics]

Hi. Iris. My name is Nick Chang and I'm looking for my elementary classmate. I saw your video and wonders if you can help me. Please advise. Tks

[@makaila6041]

I was wondering what do you do for a living are you just a full time youtuber? do you have a job? and do you work in taiwan or canada? Love the videos keep up the good work

[@IrisViruss]

+Makaila I think I'd be a lot thinner if I did KZbin full time 🤣🤣 starve to death. I move between Taiwan and Canada ✈️ so job hunting is an annual thing for me 🙄 I'm currently working in Taiwan but will be back in Canada sometime soon for good (hopefully)

[@AyubuKK]
