You should make some longer duration videos where you just walk through the streets and markets, very few cuts, so we can soak in the atmosphere and practically be there with you :)

[@letsmeditate9940]

I worked for Taiwan High Speed Rail project for 4 years while building it, still very proud of it 🙂

[@ellenarchambault8526]

Samantha Chang you should be proud. can you do that in Houston?

[@weizhang2834]

Taiwan bought the full train from Japan and full rail from Simens .

[@letsmeditate9940]

Ellen Archambault Sure! Show me the MONEY 💰 😂😂😂

[@ellenarchambault8526]

Samantha Chang I wish I could. Texas would rather spend money repairing potholes.

[@letsmeditate9940]

Ellen Archambault Well, governments are all the same around the world which is very sad 😢 Btw, been to Texas before, LOVE IT! ❤️

[@FootAndFly]

Content of this channel: Food, Food, Plane, Food on the plane, Food, Food, Slippers, Food, Plane, Food, Train, Food, Food, Hotelroom. I love it :)

[@angelicaazn]

FootAndFly ✈ HD Aviation My thoughts exactly! 😊

[@qwerty456a]

Hope you got to enjoy the fruits in Kaohsiung. A lot of the fruit comes from there because the climate allows a lot of different fruits to be grown there. There's also a village named Qishan which is all about bananas. There's also a lot of farmers goods there as well.

[@toastedpina]

I can't wait for your own hot oil to launch!

[@ohfuck6958]

Basic Avocado Hi

[@lawbin]

Kaohsiung and Tainan are really great places. Taiwan itself has a lot of historical sites that you can visit. Best of all is the food, has to be the food.

[@becsterbrisbane6275]

I adore Taiwan, I can't believe Westerners don't really travel there. The people are gorgeous, but leave before you get into a permanent food coma!! I remember meeting a lovely sandwich maker when I was getting breakfast outside Taiyuan station- I was there again 2 years later & he actually remembered me! He asked where I was from (at the time it was the Beijing Olympics)- I said Australia. He then said, 'ahhh, Australia (makes swimming motions), China (makes diving motions), and Taiwan....(eating motions)!!!' It was hilarious!

[@skillzpsy]

I died when he said this must mana potion and this health potion lol

[@MrWhiterunGuard]

Me too...

[@user-bg2jr8th3q]

He is funny.

[@ohfuck6958]

Marios Philasides lol, Is mikey a LoL player? Just askin

[@rebeccahudson87]

Your excitement and passion is contagious

[@catchlovelovelace6175]

Luggage full of pineapple cakes... freaking hilarious! Mikey, you're adorable.

[@houstonmuhammad5730]

Great job Mikey! Great fun!

[@Human4Peace]

You brighten my day with your great smile and videos. Thank you!

[@dragoncat9824]

Seeing this - especially all the locals - makes me miss Taiwan so much

[@sidnchan]

Pls keep making amazing videos!!! Favourite channel to watch atm 🙂

[@MikeyChenX]

Thank you!!!

[@chevysue88]

Wow! Thank you for sharing with us your exciting trp from Taipei to Kaohsiung, to Tainan etc. The train ride looks smooth and not that packed as compared to China. Appreciate all the lovely sights you shared with us, Mikey. Happy Travelling too!

[@paulaalberto9994]

This is fun Mike! Thank you!!❤️❤️

[@southpawscientific4122]

Gearing up for a trip to Taiwan in October and I'm taking this same train from Taipei to Kaosiung...thanks again for the recon Mikey!

[@smiggee]

Glad to see you made it to Tainan. For some reason it's the city in Taiwan that I enjoyed the most. Just felt at home there.

[@sockcritics]

Yooo Mike!Love all of your videos man,keep it up with the awesome content!

[@Sleeace]

Enjoy your trip at Taiwan, lots of fun!

[@lwchelsie]

I just wanna say, I’ve been watching yr videos a LOT here recently. My family is originally from Taiwan & ive lived in & been back so many times. I have family in Taipei & Tainan also. Yr videos make me homesick in a way I’ve never felt before & I appreciate that so much. Thank you for making these. Just seeing all the food you eat, & you exploring & seeing the people & you just appreciating Taiwan, I love that so much. Thank you for doing this💕💕💕😭

[@Enchanteralle]

Going to Taiwan next yr. Can't wait!

[@shannonl2916]

Mikey- LOVE your channel! I came across your shows while looking up airline food and how they mass produce it for airlines but saw you doing reviews of different airlines and trains and let's just say I have not stopped watching your videos ALL DAY! I'm talking like 6 hours now!! Great reviewer of everything and it all looks so good!! Keep the videos coming please!!!

[@ellenarchambault8526]

Love watching your vlogs. Please keep being kind, curious, and funny. learn a lot from what you share when you explore. Thanks Mr. Chen. Please prosper.

[@baokkao9673]

Great Show Mikey!

[@leelovesfood9129]

Wow! That business train looks incredible :D The food also looks appetizing !

[@Mac-ir2rj]

Great vid Mikey

[@Ashertheawesome]

I've only been to south part of taiwan. Glad you enjoyed Kaohsiung :D

[@trainman98]

I visited Kaohsiung in 1969. It certainly has grown up since then. Nice train too.

[@daigo5731]

Very well made! Keep up the awesome vids!

[@dyingearth]

Unlike the boondago that Jerry Brown is 'building' in Califonria, this thing actually works.

[@ddgliveswell3639]

I adore the way you appreciate everything around while you travel. Like the smaller room but "it was clean and had a good view" to the great striations of the MN blue brown and tan drink. It's also nice to see you follow a dream into hot oil. I can't wait to see more. Godspeed my friend!!!!!

[@amandadebara8612]

I live vicariously through your videos...

[@alexf4894]

Looks like a lovely area. Considering make the exact same trip in 3 weeks. Keep up the good work. Keep the details rolling

[@mimib1142]

Thanks MC. Footage brought back fond memories with a dear Friend.

[@Ralesk]

I like how the train toll gates were pretty much like the ones in Japan (including the magnetic ticket), then at 7m44s the buildings reminded me of Singapore HDB flats; that little street was all Japan to me, but the shop fronts before more Singapore again. Tainan sounds like a great place, combining two of my favourite places in one :D

[@adambrickley9088]

Fun seeing cities other than Taipei. Love seeing places outside the capitals that aren't catering to tourists. Also keep thiniking I'd love to see you do Hokkaido...just saying.

[@danielandco1660]

Such an underrated KZbin like seriously you put so much effort in your blogs! Enjoy yourself

[@cesarbilbao5079]

I love this video. I hope to take this train in my next travel to Taipei.

[@zaubnino77]

Memories of Taiwan start to flow back after watching Mike's video

[@samoreyejack6492]

Love the Hale'iwa shirt there Mikey. You got the shirt game down.

[@coffeepp7306]

Mike I love your vids keep up the good job

[@claudiag3424]

"meeting with hot oil company" ... for a second there I thought of Exxon ... LOL

[@InfiniteAthletics]

I wish the United States had transportation like this

[@Teampegleg]

There are numerous videos of why high speed rail isn't practical for most routes in the United States.

[@BashfulBaybee]

Amtrak 😂🤣😫😫😫

[@MelissaBrownapt215]

Thank the auto lobby for aggressively crushing that decades ago.

[@MelissaBrownapt215]

rooney and peter - Not really the same: not even c!ose as to connectedness, nor affordablility S. Korea and Japan are very extensive too.

[@dxelson]

LOOOOL never

[@revinaque1342]

Afternoon tea at the Shang is amazing! You should try it next time. :)

[@j.r.m.1884]

Mickey, you are awesome!

[@michelleratto-branchaud3662]

love your vids keep up the eating and traveling

[@hell0hkitty]

i'm glad you're venturing out and forming your new hot oil business mike. sounds good.

[@pearlintheoyster]

Awesome esp outside of taipei Luv ur journey

[@ejbuhnieeee6148]

I love watching what you do, I love you Mikey Chen! 💖sweetheart

[@tiffanymak6124]

I stayed at that Shangri-La hotel once! Highly recommend! Breakfast buffet was amazing!

[@patriciamateo8014]

Will be going there soon too. 😊 Btw, I really liked your vlogs a lot. 😊

[@starvingrtist8714]

Hey Mike, not sure if you have seen Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away." The movie's setting is actually based on a beautiful village in Taipei, hope you get to visit it next time if you haven't already.

[@BB-ts2gu]

You absolutely crack me up Mikey!! I broke my ribs last Monday and I've been binge watching your channel as well as Strictly Dumpling... So needless to say I've been in pain when you crack me up.... But it's totally worth the pain!!! LOL 😂😘😘

[@KelcyPassportbyDesign]

The mystery vending machines seem really cool.

[@michaelkmathen8560]

started watching your videos today and so this one

[@yilinlai2037]

Looking at this, I am already looking forward to your food videos~

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very cool..Thank you..

[@DogBrotherhood]

I can’t wait to go back for another visit to Taiwan. Better food than Japan, just as safe and just as clean. Nicest people! Taiwan is one of the best tourist destinations in Asia.

[@autumnlossij-muas1490]

America needs that kind of transportation system.

[@merchantprincess7010]

I'm pretty sure the auto industry will lobby against it and they are too big to lose.

[@persephonehades850]

the auto industry should switch into high speed trains....

[@fryang888]

Once they have it and you will never afford it. They may charge you higher than air ticket. Sucks.

[@MissAnatance]

Is transportation so bad there?

[@MissAnatance]

Oh, sorry to hear that. Thank you for replying

[@samn6534]

amazing vid!

[@ritagray4607]

Soo excited your still working on making your own hot oil...bibs next?

[@dannassi]

I'm soo early 😌🔝

[@ilovelamp1231]

May I ask what you do for a living? The traveling is amazing! love the channel! keep up the good work!

[@bspl473]

A luggage full of pineapple cakes! Lol that made me have to pause and laugh, I can so relate! XD

[@criskity]

Taipei's W Hotel! Traveling in style, man!

[@adamusagi1875]

Good morning Mike have a good day

[@colinchuo4219]

[@piplup10203854]

Nice and early whoo :D what will we see next c:

[@ditackett]

Ok I haven't been to ur strictly dumpling site yet I hope u have these food spots up and posted by the time I'm done watching this. The little parts u have teased us with on this video is making me hungry 😂

[@MikeyChenX]

slowly but surely :-)

[@madferdi]

Strictly Dumpling is just next door. Visit it. You'll have FUN

[@ellenarchambault8526]

diane Tackett you might love his off the wall vlogs as well. ....unless you are hungry🙄

[@doctorsoggy5563]

Business class is DEFINITELY the way to go, the only time I'll ride economy is if business class is full and it's a short distance, like Taoyuan to Taipei

[@Slinglling]

You are so lucky to live this kind of life

[@770ON]

Hey I love your videos they are just so cool

[@econ5953]

you really do love hotel flipflops

[@danielwmn]

I miss Tainan so so much!!!

[@longhoneywin]

LOL liked for Mikeys geeky comment on the vending machine potions

[@pcs50206]

welcome to Taiwan!!! We do have free wifi on the THSR, which calls iTaiwan. And Tainan has so many amazing food to explore. You should try Eel noodles and Milkfish congee next time.

[@hrithikroshan6531]

just watched an awesome high speed train video from Taiwan , @

[@MultiKwolf]

realy relaxing :=D

[@carbuncle1977]

nice video. will be going to taiwan on jan 12 2k19 and will use HSR first going to kaoshiung on a weekend.

[@likewindboy]

Actually you are right, Tainan is very much like Kyoto: both of them were the capital cities back in old days.

[@johnglynn8552]

thank you

[@MBisFrenchy]

When I went from HK to Shenzhen they had Starbucks coffee available, but I don't drink coffee. Was well priced for the higher class.

[@JoseGonzalez-qn6wc]

take me with youuuu!!! I will literally ask for a week off of work or two and go with you. i’ve alwYs wanted to come and what even better than with you!

[@CrystalHickerson]

I am very curious- do you travel alone? It appears that way. If you do then it's such an inspiration! I love how you don't care if people are staring! Or do you? FASCINATING

[@DizzyStrife]

Thank you for shoing me things I will NEVER get too see myself.

[@nicholausbuthmann1421]

I actually really enjoy that small Hotel Room. Just the right size for me!

[@nicholausbuthmann1421]

Oh my, such a cute girl in Bib Overalls with the antique camera!

[@nicholausbuthmann1421]

I really wish to travel to both Taiwan and Japan!

[@nicholausbuthmann1421]

Chen is a better man than me, I can not drink tea or any caffeine past 4pm without it nailing me!

[@xnonsuchx]

That was very nice of younger Jet Li to open the door for younger Jackie Chan. ;-)

[@maisytrain86]

Do you actually wear the slippers, or do you just have a dragon-like hoard of slippers at home?

[@EvenInArcadiaIExist]

LoL...thank you for painting a funny picture in my head. :D

[@ShannelYO]

every time he finds some he's like "yay! another pair to my collection!"

[@eustacia03]

omg, that house he bought probably has a slipper room.

[@jeffreysetapak]

It's up to him. It's none of our business.

[@AlqGo]

What's wrong with collecting hotel slippers? Even hotels throw away used ones anyway

[@Andy1076]

Nothing wakes you up like Taipei eats haha! :D

[@samsungtaco11]

make sure you go down further south to Kenting national park beautiful beach resort. buy bus ticket at booth on outside top level of Zuoying Station.

[@MissMentats]

My dude. I put on literally 17lbs since I started watching your food videos. I hate your videos...... but I freakin love them ❤️

[@stanleythegamer8338]

lol

[@AnTiCs53]

You and I both.

[@miro2404]

something about this reminds me of Kintaro Oe. So educational...

[@2009mostwanted]

Street food is a treasure that should be everywhere.

[@THOng19880403]

Wow~ W Taipei

[@yusakwilliam1179]

You gotta try going to Feng Chia night market in Taichung. I'd recommend the rice dogs sold at the left alleyway entrance on the road that leads to the Feng Chia University and the beef noodle soup past the takoyaki shop.

[@gamma6717]

Mike at 0:22 “I like trains” lmao

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Thank you for the video. Do you get to keep the slippers?

[@MacaGD]

The hot oil people looked really nice. P.S: The silly little laugh at the end was cute.

[@evelynhwang9730]

How did you forget the bento box from the station? :) it’s a classic for all Taiwanese haha

[@SilentXTMR]

Nah, I don't even eat that. There are just too many local dishes to fill my stomach, and I am Taiwanese.
