I first visited Taiwan in 2011 and it was the greatest adventure I ever had. I returned in 2017 and spent a month traveling all over the island. Since then, I have had two kids and I cannot wait to return with them and show them this beautiful country full of friendly, wonderful people.

Definitely feel you. Spent time living in China, Japan, and Taiwan. All 3 were quite different. China was very big, lots to see and explore...lots of adventure. I didn't see myself staying there long-term though. Japan was unique as well. Lots of stuff to do and see, quite clean, but I just felt the societal aspect a bit stifling. To be honest, it can be quite lonely in Tokyo and Japan is not exactly the most foreigner friendly place. Taiwans a bit smaller, a little less adventure, but friendly, comfortable, safe, and just overall nice quality of life.

I was a foreigner myself walking the same streets in Taichung as you 7 years ago and stayed in Taiwan for 5 years. The culture, the adventure, the food, the 7-11, the people there is amazing. I’m now in Singapore but I miss everything about Taiwan everyday. My KZbin is set to Taiwan (that’s how this video shows up in my recommended), I still watch Taiwanese news and programs, looking everywhere for Taiwanese cuisine and buying Taiwanese products that are exported here. Have fun while you’re there and I’m sure you’ll have a Taiwanese soul in you very soon like me and many other foreigners who’ve stayed in Taiwan.

@@cedarjoven8989 the one who has logic error is you. If an US citizen travels to Alaska or Hawaii, no visa is required. But if you Chinese wish to visit Taiwan, you will need to apply for Taiwanese visa (AND a permit, which is specifically issued by your Chinese government in order to leave China and only to enter Taiwan. Well, CCP gets everything under control, huh?) Honestly, if you can get on KZbin and explore the world, then try to read and think more.

@@clin7043 Asian people are too nice to the westerners, when foreigners say one country's people are very friendly, I don't think it's good. We should respect people from every country but not grant foreigners too much privilege.China now has much more confidence when face the west, so maybe in foreigners' eyes Chinese is not "friendly" enough. But I can promise they are treated equally in China, just not enjoy privilege as what they experienced in other Asian counties like Vietnam, Thailand, Philippine etc.Another reason might be nowdays China has strong anti-west mindset, so we don't admire the west. After all, our value is not aligned with the west. I think this is part of reason why this guy moved to Taiwan.

其實,台灣最大的魅力,在於是小小島,卻有多族群包容與多元價值融入: 一、16族原住民(南島語族原鄉) 二、中華文化和繁體文字 三、日本文化(包括動漫電玩等次文化、甚至重要的棒球文化是日本人輾轉帶來的) 四、近幾年更是融入東南亞新住民,總數有五十萬左右 五、西方方面,就屬價值觀和政治系統了。最難得的就是民主自由,甚至於2019年成為亞洲第一個同婚合法國家,這是進階人權,很多國家一百年內都「不可能有檯面上討論是否該通過同婚」這樣的對話空間,台灣能做到,是很了不起的事情,一年來也是有2千多對佳偶(雖然也有離婚的XD),這是民主的一大價值。 中國醫生艾芬或李文亮的事情,不會發生在台灣,因為在台灣,被政府汙衊或壓迫,能找媒體和民代控訴,台灣人權和民主實踐,當然還有很大進步空間,但目前在往相對好的方向進展! 台灣最妙的地方是面積小,卻有7成面積是山!上週有KZbinr釋出驚人的4k等級影片,那真的是很多台灣人都沒看過的台灣!
