I just discovered your channel after returning from two weeks in Taiwan. We visited Yingye, which was as lovely as you portray it to be. And you're right about Taiwanese liberal views of alcohol. Years ago my mother in law let my eight year old daughter try some beer. Daughter didn't like the taste but out of politeness drank it all. From that my mother in law proudly told us that my kid daughter liked the beer! Hahaha. Your channel is great; keep it up.

[@李雲屏]

早期中國人認為工人、貧窮的人才需要外出工作賺錢，自然會被太陽曬的黑黑的，也不能留長長的指甲，所以皮膚白白的女性象徵是富貴人家的子女，指甲留的長又美，代表這位小姐完全不用工作也不需要做家務，這是早期對白色皮膚的刻板印象。

[@rexnain]

其實西方人也一樣，長指甲一樣也代表富有尊貴的象徵，西方人喜歡小麥色的皮膚也是富有的象徵，因為她們可以不用工作躺著曬太陽。

I was quite lucky to stay in the public education system all the way. Most of my educational spendings was on textbooks and many other extra-curriculum activities. I rarely attended the after-school classes (I found them not very useful, except the English classes I took before studying abroad). I choose to live in school dorms during my college years and had no regrets. It is still possible to keep the overall educational spendings low in Taiwan.

[@iamnathank]

jhu022 Agreed! It is possible.

Taiwan is a bit messy but still interesting overall...you have y’all buildings, beaches and mountains.

[@iamnathank]

grant long Yeah, some areas of the cities are a bit messy, but like you said, plenty of beautiful mountains and a few nice beaches, too.

[@officesuperhero9611]

I agree with everything you said....I remember someone giving me a beer on the beach, and as a New Yorker, I was like, "I can drink this here?" I have even bought beer and sat in front of 7-11 and just drank it. A big no no in NYC. And as for real estate, I cannot figure out how the typical person can afford a home in Taipei. A condo in Taipei goes for at least $500,000 (US), but the annual salary is about $20,000 a year (or less). But the renting is much cheaper too. So it doesn't make sense to buy a condo and rent it out. You won't make money. Would love to see a video on Taiwan real estate....maybe a future topic, Nathan.

[@emiliac8480]

Just a thought. I am confused when you said TW education expenses is above global average, at around $56,000 per year. I think you mean parents who send their kids to those expensive and exclusive private k to 12 in TW. As far as I know, for college education, the most expensive TW private colleges cost just a fraction of tuitions one would pay to go to a good public college in CA, such as the UCs. Private college tuitions in the US will be even higher. TW's education should be ranked one of the cheapest in the world if you stay in public. Unlike the US, public means top notch for colleges in TW.

[@iamnathank]

I think it’s something like USD 56k from grade 1 to university. Here's a link to the article: www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3202190

[@499PUCK]

H just a note. After living in Korea, Japan and Philippines people told me a differant story about white skin. White skin was associated to higher work status. If your skin was darker you were working outdoors.

[@cooliipie]

Taiwan #1

[@changpohao]

Another great episode! However, when it comes to alcohol, I think by "western countries" you pretty much only mean the US. As far as, I know it's not a big deal in many European countries. Germany is certainly a counterexample lol. Also different skin tones were associated with different social classes. In the earlier time, more tanned skin tone often meant blue-collar types of workers or farmers, so that you had to constantly expose to the sun.

[@iamnathank]

Po-Hao chang Hah, Yep. Pretty much.

[@logan0526]

I live in Beijing, here and in the rest of mainland China people are allowed to drink out in public as well. However, not many local people do it. The only people I've seen here drinking out in public are other foreigners. My hometown of New Orleans is one of the few cities in the US where drinking out in public is allowed.

Haha. Yeah, many foreigners, including myself way back in the day, take advantage of being able to drink in public.

[@emiliac8480]

Women do crazy things to their skin. Some Asian women overly protect their skin from the sun; lots of Western women over-expose their skin under the sun or on tanning beds. It's interesting how skin color signifies social status in various cultures. To Westerners, tanned skin tone represents a healthy or wealthy life style meaning he or she loves outdoor activities or can afford vacations.

[@iamnathank]

Very interesting indeed :)

[@seanwu1968]

Love your video. Don’t dink and drive, otherwise almost no limitation about having alcohol in anywhere.

[@iamnathank]

Sean Wu Thanks! Driving while under the influence of alcohol is definitely one thing I hope the traffic officers can become stricter about.

[@TheDigitalPanther]

White skin is preferred among women in asian cultures because it signifies a person of the upper class. Lower class women would be tanned from working outside or have calloused hands. Pale women were known to be wealthy and stay indoors often without needing to work.

[@vincentyu710]

upper class? lower class? plz express ur opinion after u actually visit here, come on.

[@Douglas.Kennedy]

That's the story I heard as well in Taiwan. In contrast, in the US we have the belief that a "healthy tan" is collected on holiday at the beach (by the leisure class) and looking down on the "Farmer's tan" on the forearms and the back of the neck (working class).

[@beavertown2006]

Not sure about now, but decades ago, you could be laughed at for having darker skin tones at schools in east Asian countries, being whiter was considered prettier. I have no judgement on that but it is interesting for white people to find this habit strange (not this youtuber) as many of them want to have darker skin and crazy about exposing themselves to the sun. If you think it through, they are both doing the same different things.

酒駕問題還是沒有遏止! 新聞還是一堆啊～ 雖然加重刑罰， 一堆人也是罰不怕! 還是要專門修法 把酒駕 視為故意殺人罪 或殺人未遂罪! 加上學校 家庭 社會教育 才能慢慢遏止。

最後一句錯了，台灣人重視教育跟皇帝沒關係！ 1 台灣老百姓早期大部份是務農或其他， 只有讓小孩受高等教育才能使小孩以後找到更好工作改善生活 2 私立是專職學校學一技之長的，跟公立學校完全2回事，以前在台灣唸公立學校出來做教職或公務員是最好出路，否則唸比較好的專職學校畢業就很容易被錄取民營公司工作 3 還有一種是公立考不上，改考私立學校，怎麼都會讓你有書唸有事做就是了 4 出國唸書不是個人興趣就是有錢人的調調！ 台灣教育跟中國皇帝完全沒關係的，sir!
