Just got back, we spent our 10th anniversary there. I never thought anything could come close to how unique Japan is for me. I’m fricking in love. It was magical, hassle free, convenient, and we had the time of our lives. The small towns outside Taipei were everything I dreamed about. There are a few crowds but nothing like korea/japan/Singapore. I think it’s early but it’s starting to pick up as a hot destination. Best night markets in the world? 🤔 yeah I had a few too many ice cream burritos 😂

[@Moemuntz]

PS we stayed in the same hotel 😂 I stayed in the one in Ginza (Tokyo) and loved it so it was an easy choice.

[@YellowProductions]

Mmm. Ice cream burritos.. aaaahhh

[@YellowProductions]

Neat! How does the Taipei one compare to the Ginza one?

[@Moemuntz]

@@YellowProductions almost identical in every aspect, even breakfast with small differences. Both amazing views. King Deluxe rooms at both. I would say Ginza (MGH premier) felt a bit bigger.

[@coolauntiejoyce]

I really enjoyed learning about Taipei and great things to see and do. Plus I really appreciated that you condensed your stay into one full length vlog. It gave me a better sense of the ebb and flow to your daily exploration. Top notch Asian series thus far, Chris!💛👏🏾

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks! And glad you liked the one, extra long vlog!

[@DonJ1973]

Really great and informative video Chris. I’ll be sure to refer back to this the next time I plan a trip to Taiwan 🇹🇼 it’s been a really long time since I last traveled there. The traveling princess was adorable. A really great co-host ☺️

[@YellowProductions]

Awww

[@tiro_taiwan]

Taipei Zoo is actaully the biggest zoo in Asia, and was rated as the 10th zoo in the world.

[@Keith_Aerotrunk]

Will add this country to my bucket list. You piqued my interest in this video.

You won’t regret. Wife had to convince me to go, I wasn’t sure about visiting yet another Asian country. now it’s in my top 5 destinations. 😅

Wonderful. Taipei looks like an exciting and vibrant city. It looks like there was enough for The Princess to enjoy herself especially the delicious treats. The food looked tasty and I hope OC Girl also enjoyed herself.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Alex! Yes. All 3 of us enjoyed ourselves! 😉

Happy Fathers Day!! Loved seeing Princess and you together. Great video 👍🏾

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks so much

[@Sunnywow1]

I realized you go to much nicer restaurants now that you are traveling with your family, which I appreciate. Even though many of these restaurants are expensive it's important to let your toddler feel comfortable and relax and also eat healthier food instead of a lot of street food while traveling.

[@YellowProductions]

Indeed Sunny. We need a table, and a clean toilet, etc 😀

[@emese.chi_tpe]

Thanks so much for your great videos! They are all so helpful, informative and fun at the same time. Must be a lot of work to put them together in such awesome quality. I have watched all your Taiwan videos, and they got me even more excited about my visit there in a couple weeks. Thanks for sharing your adventures!

[@YellowProductions]

Glad you like them! Thanks so much!

[@scottman895]

The food looks incredible over there! I really need to visit Taipei one of these days as I'm sure I will enjoy it!

[@YellowProductions]

You definitely will Scott! Just don't order as many potstickers as I did! 😀

[@liweil8840]

My whole family is going back in a month and a half. That's exactly where we are staying. Non stop eating, and you don't eat the same thing twice because there are SO many choices. Listen to this, the best way to minimize jetlag, keep eating!! LOL

Taipei is just a street buffet 😀

Thanks Maggie!

[@davidonapittock8662]

I originally found your channel for information on Taipei/Taiwan and your videos are so awesome. So clear and concise and I feel a lot less anxious about going because I know so much more. But now I'm actually continuing watching because your daughter and interactions with the world are so lovely. Thanks for the really wholesome and helpful content.

[@martinhodge394]

The scallion pancake 蔥油餅 is indeed the inspiration for the pizza. The story goes that Marco Polo had returned from Asia and he was in Venice and tried to explain to a chef how to make scallion pancakes. He couldn't quite make it but the pizza was born. Also, the idea of pasta noodles came from Asia to what is now Italy. The Chinese word for noodle is "mian tiao" 麵條 and the word for pasta in Chinese is 義大利麵 literally "Italy noodles".

[@joshwowify]

Welcome to Taiwan! I lived in Cali for over a decade but moved back here. Def a great city but I still prefer the Cali weather tho

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Josh!

[@13691john]

Can you drop the name of the industrial store with the dry mushrooms on day 3, please 🙏

[@martinhodge394]

Your Chinese pronunciation is good. I spent about four months in Taipei studying Chinese.

[@YellowProductions]

Thanks Martin!

[@grownupgaming]

31:46 love taiwan, but this was one of the reasons we moved from taiwan to San Diego: the playgrounds (and some parks) are super crowded on the weekends, made me feel claustrophobic even.

[@YellowProductions]

Yeah. I was surprised at how crowded the parks and playgrounds were! I've never seen so many kids on a playground!

There is a famous cell phone company called 大哥大 meaning "Big Brother". I am not sure if they were making a reference to the Big Brother in the book 1984. It is an interesting point of view.

Chris I am curious. Do you ever hang out with your wife's friends or family? It appears you both live pretty separate lives at times. Is this a cultural thing?

[@YellowProductions]

All the time. Just most of them don't love being on camera. So that's why they don't show up in the vlogs. We definitely had some family and friend meetups during these 5 days. They just didn't get recorded 😉. If you want to see a rare video in this category. Here's one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4ebiKSbib51pc0

Why still wearing masks? Because 1. the pandemic isn't over yet at the other side of the Straits and there are many people travelling back and forth. 2. Because of reason 1., people who has elderlies and young children at home choose to be more cautions.
