The people under the bridge pack up so quickly because they don't have permits and the cops came. If you notice, they left some things on the ground to mark their turf for after the cops leave, and they can return to business.

[@RalphSam]

Thanks for the trivia!

Ralph touching cameras is like me with stray cats 😸And that Japanese banner at 5:52 is too cute!

[@RalphSam]

LOL we're like that with cats too 😄 hope to visit a cat island next time we visit Japan 🐈🐈🐈🐈‍⬛️🐈🐈‍⬛️

This place and the Chongxin flea market is the biggest in taipei. Theres also the Neiwei flea market which is bigger than both of them. I love to go hifi hunting in these places lol. Lots of permanent booths there (good large hifi items) and most are cheaper than those taiwanese auction sites.

[@RalphSam]

Nice! Need to check out Chongxin and Neiwei next time. ✌🏻

[@speakerblowupmanlee5921]

@@RalphSam Neiwei is in Kaoshiung btw. I forgot to mention it. Most booths are very early (6:00 to 8:00) except for some in Chongxin.

[@RalphSam]

Appreciate the tips! Thank you ✌🏻😊

[@yoohoo909]

That Flea market is a treasure trove for period film set designers.

[@RalphSam]

[@97Devils]

In the UK we have “car boot sales” and that first market basically resembled heaven on earth to me.

Hi I'm a viewer in Taiwan and always enjoy watching your market vlogs in different countries! (ﾉ>ω

[@RalphSam]

xie xie for watching 😊 we had a lot of fun in taiwan. hope you get to visit the market one day!

[@VO-qt6bj]

Besides the 101, Taipei is just so undeveloped like in 70s.

[@einarrsflower]

But modern. Love Taipei and the entire Taiwan!😊

[@RalphSam]

I guess Taipei has preserved a lot of its traditions which gives it a lot of charm. The more modern neighborhoods tend to be closer to the city center.

[@RalphSam]

Yes we love Taipei too 🇹🇼✨️😊😊✨️🇹🇼

[@gisellecheng5227]

I love Taipei in 70s 80s 90s

[@RalphSam]

Must have been cool!

[@vynguyen6354]

Hi, I knew you from the cafe hopping vlog in Chiang Mai. My mom and I really love watching your channel! ❤ Btw, would you mind sharing about your camera kit + gears used when traveling? Inspired by you, I plan to film my family’s next summer trip to save as memories, but there are way too many types of camera, wireless mic and gimbal to consider 😂 What’s your recommendation gears for travel vlog?

[@RalphSam]

Hi there! Thanks so much for watching since Chiang Mai. You might be surprised, but we actually just shoot with our Samsung S phones! We have never used a gimbal for our videos. Only recently did we purchase Rode wireless mics. For almost all our videos, it was a simple phone camera set up. So if you're just starting, we would suggest just using a great quality phone 😊

[@vynguyen6354]

Wow, I'm genuinely amazed! I never would have guessed that you're capturing such high-quality footage with just your phone. It definitely simplifies things for us beginners. Thanks for the insight on your gear choices! Also, it seems like you've mastered the art of stabilization without a gimbal! Do you have any tips or tricks for keeping shots steady while filming on the go?

[@RalphSam]

You're very welcome 😊 Honestly, our phones have a video stabilization feature that makes a big difference. Sorry can't be of much help in that area!

[@jenniferdreyfus5449]

Just curious, How much are those glass pendant you bought?

[@RalphSam]

roughly $1.5 😊

[@aijazz.x]

Is there any such market in Southern Taiwan specifically near Tainan

[@RalphSam]

Sure! We've been to a flea market in Kaohsiung called Kaohsiung Qianzhen Kaixuan Flea Market. Open on the weekends.

[@aries80328]

Answer the 2:40 Why they rush ? Beacuse there are not for rent , Its public area , they are illegal , police will coming later

[@RalphSam]

thanks for sharing! that makese a lot of sense
