哪些事讓外國人感到驚訝？| What Surprises Foreigners About Living in Taiwan?

I’m always enjoy the music, content of videos you made! Your videos very high quality, thank you very much for making them to us!

瞭解只聽過但沒經歷過的那種驚訝，第一次出國我也有那種感受！ 內森影片的背景及分享都好棒，好像是趟台灣之旅的串聯，也是一場歷史、古蹟、建築、美食的心靈饗宴！ 內森的台灣心靈療癒之旅，真的好精彩！加油內森，讓我們繼續跟著內森一起旅行去！

台灣地小所以交通方式摩托車是最適合的，因為你要去的地方都不遠，

[@perrychang6205]

地震很可怕…但不是所有台灣人會在第一時間逃避，而是發訊息…

[@fraktaalimuoto]

For me there were two first surprises when I arrived: 1. Environment was much more "dirty" than I expected. An effect of old badly built houses and mold that grows on every surface. 2. Winter was surprisingly cold. I am used to -30 Celsius temperatures, but not to the lack of heating.

[@iamnathank]

fraktaalimuoto Fair enough. I agree with you in that some areas / buildings are a bit dirty & shabby looking.

[@fraktaalimuoto]

@@iamnathank Mind you I am from a hyperclean Nordic country. Most other places are dirty by the standards I grew up with. Some others will not have the same experience.

I grew up in Taiwan and lived in Taipei for 22 years and I never got used to the summer lol

[@iamnathank]

Po-Hao chang Haha. Yep, the summers are insanely hot!

[@nelsonsu3098]

用心的外國人往往比本國人更瞭解台灣，因為來自他國，可以比較。很多事項是由比較而得到瞭解的。本地人習以為常，好的壞的，由於習慣而失去察覺。這時由沒有習慣的外地人來喚醒優缺點，優點，要珍惜，缺點，要改善。所以我們需要外國朋友，讓我們更瞭解自己，珍惜目前所有，自由，民主，法制，尊嚴，雖不完美，但因有自由民主，讓我們有努力改善的機會。 Nathan, thank you! Taiwan is going to be better because you are here.

[@ww75527]

內容非常正確，給個讚。在台灣摩托車要練習穩穩地慢騎，還有真的要注意不要靠近大型車，像是卡車或公車、巴士之類的。

[@bookliao2368]

騎車真的不要靠近大型車!!!尤其轉彎處 不如讓大車先行 也不要併騎

[@MultiVitoz]

Was surprised to find baby change tables and nursery in many public places . Free Mosquito repellents in parks ( very smart move to promote products to public ) . Very and very expensive real estate but very friendly people .

[@周小綸]

在台灣開車或是騎車，保持一個互相禮讓的心就好囉~ 當然也是有少數人，車明明過不去卻硬是要跟你擠，如果跟他硬碰硬，就很容易發生車禍，你就讓他先過去就好囉~

[@Sleepyhappygrumpy]

I am Taiwanese, and after living in the United States for more than 20 years I felt the same way like what you said whenever I went back to Taiwan. I want to add one more thing: “ Lack of Dryer, Disposal, Dishwasher , central AC/heating system” in common household can be a little bit frustrating for foreigners and take time to get used to.

[@iamnathank]

CY C A good point you bring up about the lack of dryers & dishwashers etc...

[@ukgaryowen]

我自己真的也很不喜歡台灣的交通，有些台灣人只要騎了摩托車開了車好像換了腦袋似的變了一個人很恐怖。台灣每天都有大大小小不一的地震久而久之就習以為常了，最可怕的是很久沒有地震一直累積著這種是最不好的情況。 Nathan的影片都很中肯！很棒

[@guoeden4352]

主要是臺灣駕照太好考

[@nomadsoulkarma]

Where I'm from is actually more humid and hot in the summer so the heat does not bother me. One thing I've noticed is the lack of public restrooms and trash cans. In mainland there are public toilettes everywhere (just follow the smell ha ha) which is great but beware! bring your own paper because there is none. Tawian's restrooms (a.k.a MRT) will always have paper and soap. Other suprises for foreigners: 7-11's everywhere even almost next to each other. I remember you did a nice video on this.

[@adun1943]

I thought you decided not to get a scooter because of safety concern? Anyway, your scooter will bring you convenience. Just always be careful!

[@nai_o9o7]

如果後院也有游泳池就好了 哈哈 夏天台灣真的很熱 如果住山上還能常去游泳 城市就...會一直想開冷氣吧... 不然就會想洗2次澡... 因為要去游泳池也很難每天去吧！

[@inyoursin]

假如你真的害怕地震,我教你一件讓你不再害怕的事情. 當地震來臨時,記的那個震度帶給你的感覺,然後猜測這次地震的震度,通常都是2或3,然後上網在中央氣象局查詢,一開始可能會猜錯,多試幾次,你會發現自己能準確的猜中地震震度. 當你知道這種震度不會帶來任何傷害,你的恐懼自然就降低了. 但是地震震到你無法思考時,那至少5級以上,還是先跑再說.

[@elimchang9788]

呵呵我們也是這樣，當地震來時，家裡每個人都在猜這次是幾級，通常都猜得很準

[@e57575959]

小的不用跑，大的也跑不掉，中的每次跑但大部分都沒事最後也就不跑了 :(

[@julioareck]

As always, great video. I totally agree with you. Yes, in the West we tend to have more ethnic diversity, and in big cities you can see blond, brunette, Asian and black people and it's normal, but in Taiwan the population is much more homogeneous, so if you're not Asian you'll definitely stand apart from the people surrounding you. And about the heat and humidity, also totally agree; it's so unbearable! I come from a tropical Latin American country, but when a Taiwanese person asks me if my country is hot, I have to confess it's nothing like Taiwan, not by far. Furthermore, in my country (Guatemala) the main cities are located on valleys in the highlands, usually at 1500 meters above the sea level, so the climate is very, very confortable all year long; we don't even need air conditioning in summer. But in Taiwan, on the contrary, almost all the population is concentrated in the lowlands where it's so humid and summers are scorching hot. After more than 5 years living in Taiwan, I still don't get used to this humid heat, it's like living in a big sauna. lol Keep making these amazing videos! :D

照例台灣地震大的多在2，9月，其他是釋放能量， 外出住宿慎選堅固的地點跟建築物居住 災難來時，跑的掉是運氣，跑不掉是命運 😂

[@李得鳴]

台灣地震沒有特定時間!大的也沒有， 所以你的2，9月是不正確的! 正確應該講全台最多發生次數最多為花蓮地區年均6000餘次(包括外海)，最少為台北地區170餘次且規模都很小。 但是依照近30年來歷史地震來看，規模較大地震大多發生在台灣東部宜花東地區，其次為台南高雄。 有錯歡迎糾正

[@your99]

@@李得鳴 你好認真， 不須要糾正，你喜歡怎麼認為就怎麼說了 確實造成倒塌跟極大都在2，9月 要6000多次花東都被移平了! 大地震指什麼，你自己想想吧!

[@李得鳴]

林皖皖 先生，6000多次不是都大地震！ 1-2級的小地震也包涵在內！ 這些是地震中心資料看到的

[@andylu6431]

地震是台灣人比較習慣，不過也練就各自的處理模式 但是有幸感受到很強烈的地震時，還是讓人非常害怕 台南上次地震，還震垮永康的大樓那次 剛好在台南，睡覺時被巨大搖晃震醒，然後持續很久 當時真的覺得再震幾秒，房子可能會垮掉 停了，沒事，驚嚇會很緊張，平靜後想應該會出事 果然早上新聞就大量報導地震消息

[@SIMtudios]

臺灣交通部分，北部地區車子多，但騎士們比較容易遵守交通規則；南部車少　但不容易遵守交通規則． 地震部分　大多數建築承受４級地震是沒問題的，但是老舊建築（屋齡２０年以上）就很危險． ＊建議租屋　可以挑選屋齡較新的，抗震結構與標準較好 天氣部分　臺灣是海島濕度會高，台北又是盆地濕度又更高了，濕度越高體溫不容易散熱．．．

[@your99]

跟老舊沒關係 要看房屋結構 台灣50年以上建築多了去了 都好好的

[@gabrielle1626]

沒錯 跟結構跟工程有關 不然日本時代的建築經過這麼多次大地震早就倒光了 總統府除了被美國轟炸過修繕過 也一樣屹立不搖喔 周邊日本時代蓋的建築也都還在

[@周小綸]

我南北都待過，南部人真的比較沒有守法精神，這跟車多車少真的無關~ 可能是南部執法比較沒那麼嚴格，而且地方官員帶頭作亂，所以南部風氣就會如此~

[@your99]

@@周小綸 地方官員帶頭作亂是什麼意思 講的好像遊行都在南部發生似的，你是有事嗎！ 哪裡都有3寶，交通事故可不是南部專利， 好發也不是在南部，車多車少當然也不是重點！

小英總統大推軌道建設 未來台灣的汽機車會大量減少 更適合國內外旅客的方便性 旅遊景點會更廣 😏

[@jhu022]

When an earthquake occurs, the safe places in the house are the lower sides next to big pillars. According to the geological studies done by scholars, the mountain movements in northern Taiwan has almost stopped, while they are on going in the middle and southern Taiwan. So big earthquakes are more likely to hit middle and southern Taiwan. (臺灣島的北部較早浮出海平面，造山運動已經接近停止; 中南部浮出海平面較晚，造山運動仍在持續進行)(地震原因主要是板塊運動或斷層錯動，造山運動也是板塊運動造成，所以觀察造山運動也是評估地震機率一方法)。 It is not to say that people living in northern Taiwan should take less caution on earthquakes.

[@Lili-fq9ry]

I have watched your videos for a long time . Most of time,I agree with you,but still l have to correct some of your points. From ethnic point,Taiwanese are mostly the mixture of baiyai(百越)and pingpu(平埔),only people immigrating here from China after 1949 are mostly hun people.these comprised about 12 percent of currently Taiwanese population.Taiwanese say they are hun people just because kmt educate them since school years.you can see the information of analysis ofTaiwanese blood test done by Dr. 林瑪俐 in 馬偕hospital. Ching dynasty had sent some officials to the west part of Taiwan but ching dynasty was from northeast Asia,just like Korea.they are not hun people. After the second war,the alliy nations mandated Taiwan to roc until now.
