[@taiwansivispacemparabellum9546]

1:30 Starting Jan 2024, the tram line will be connected in a loop around the city with 37 stops. Kaohsiung is a choice destination away from harsh winter😂, on the northern hemisphere at least. Welcome to my city. Hope you’ve enjoy it.

[@h62715]

I'm curious what kind of camera are you using, it's very 👍

[@kevindst]

30:01 Two houses that claim to be the originator of pearl/bubble milk tea are Chun Shui Tang and Hanlin Tea House, they even sued one another for it, but the judge ruled out that a drink is not something that one can have a patent, so the dispute never got settled and they still each claim to be the first. From my research Hanlin invented it in 1986 and Chun Shui Tang in 1987, however the pearls of Hanlin at the time seem to be white pearls, so I consider it's not the classic bubble tea so I'd say Chun Shui Tang is first.

[@kevindst]

I love my drinks to have chewy little things in them! I recommend coconut jelly, little white chewy cubes, inside black tea or fruit tea, I like it even more than the classic tapioca milk tea.

[@windysunny8917]

Great content, made by great youtubers Shev & Dev. Great!👍

[@secrets.295]

I would never consider Taiwan as a travel destination previously but you guys changed my mind. I have fallen in love with Taiwan thanks to u. I will visit Taiwan soon.

[@baghabit7696]

Taiwan is one of the best countries to visit in Asia

[@fongwu6895]

歡迎你們來到我的家鄉，謝謝你們把我的城市拍的這麼漂亮，影片中很多都是我們日常行經的街道，希望你們玩得愉快，來到高雄別忘了要吃冰消暑

[@Morsonko]

As a Taiwanese, I definitely recommend kaoshong for tourists for eco-friendly trams, wide roads and nice weather in winter.

[@ShevandDev]

we had a great time in kaohsiung! Great atmosphere, great people, great overall 😍

[@wenchunwang6658]

希望傷口沒影響到你們的旅遊，建議可以到藥局買藥，也可以請店員協助簡單治療，或到診所醫師會幫忙治療（費用不會很貴）

[@DanielWang246]

Hi, welcome to Kaohsiung, and hope you guys enjoy the trip here. But, there is something i wanna make it clear that is the TURTLE! That little stand which sold the little turtles, the owner told you those for eating was NOT TURE. At least, as a Taiwanese, or I can say as a Kaohsiung citizen, we don't eat that! I guess the owner misunderstood what you guys were talking about!

[@raymonde4272]

An entertaining tour of a beautiful lakeside. Those elders really took a liking to Shevelle, and the dancing grandpa was so funny.

[@user-wq1ug1sb8d]

23:33 😂😂

[@test-pn3ex]

I’m Taiwanese, my dad had bubble milk tea in 陽羨 (later called Chun Shui Tang), Taichung in the 1980s, so the teahouse you went is undoubtedly the bubble tea OG.

[@elsieganancioso4436]

agree! it's easy to love Taiwan, I went there twice this year

[@latebloomerabroad]

“I asked for bubble tea but they gave me clown juice instead!” 🤣I think I would enjoy the hot bubble tea, but I’m one of those that doesn’t like chewing my drink when I’ve had the cold one. I love hearing you two bantering back and forth. ❤If you think it’s sweltering in Taiwan, it must be even hotter than Thailand? 🥵San Jose, California (where I lived for 40 years) has a light rail system too and the government thinks people will use it to commute to work but it is slow (it has to stop at traffic lights). Devon: I make peanut butter noodles with a splash of sesame oil, it’s a great quick dinner; add it to your repertoire!

[@ShevandDev]

Hahaha I knew you would love that little joke! 🤣 I’m the same when it comes to chewy drinks but of course this one was the exception 😍 so happy you loved this one. Kaohsiung is a city you would love! But it was HOT 🥵 definitely adding “Becky’s peanut butter noodles” to the list 😍

[@hc434]

Taiwan literally feels like a sauna sometimes. I've never felt that in Thailand. But that's why it's so green/lush

[@theoadelaidabondocabe7261]

Shev & Dev:Thanks you guys so much for this new remarkable video today’s from Taipei, Taiwan to shows these amazing places & Landmarks in Southeast Asia November of 2023❤❤❤

Shev & Dev:Congratulations to you guys for heading to Taipei, Taiwan this weekend in great joy to tours around the capital city & other major city on the train in November of 2023❤❤❤

[@artfquinn]

3:20 The train just finished all the construction and had a grand opening. Now the train is on a full circle and people can basically take the light rail train to visit most places in the outskirts of Kaohsiung city. The construction started in 2013 and just finished in last month. You just missed the completion of the project by one month. Not the light rail train has 34 stations and they are well connected to Kaohsiung subway system.

[@djohnson6779]

Oh my gosh! I lived right next to Lotus Lake before, and would take walks around the lake frequently. I love it in Kaohsiung! And yes, it does get very hot/humid there. I have also lived in Taichung and loved it there also. These videos really make me miss it and I want to go back so badly!

[@token00tw]

高雄還有很多不錯的景點，建議可以多停留幾天旅行

[@ShevandDev]

是的，确实如此 😍

[@joyluo1616]

5:22 is 好可愛(hao ke ai), meaning “so cute”!

[@southedinburgh1971]

You could have used your easycard for the tram earlier. The card can be used in any kind of public transport

[@EsaiasP]

If you are injured, you can go to the nearby service station or police station; they provide basic medical services.

[@linjason8979]

At 13:50 in the video, there are vendors selling crabs, Brazilian tortoises, and hermit crabs. They are mainly bought for children to keep as pets, not for food.

[@susanchang7825]

I just got back from Kaohsiung last week. This may be a bit too late, but Easy Card also works on the LRT.

[@ichiman715]

I loved Bobba milk tea for the longest time but then I found out about putting Vanilla pudding instead. OMG. Life changer.

[@user-dv5if1hm2w]

It is good to experience a busy daily life in the world's best cities (Tokyo, Seoul) in Korea and Japan, but I think it is also worth a trip to relax in more relaxed places such as Taiwan, Vietnam, and Thailand.

[@ChrisSmith-sd4pw]

Oh those snails with shells we called Hermit Crabs when we were in Japan! We'd collect them from the beach and put them in our pockets...then when mi mama did laundry she screamed as she found them!

Unfortunately, wrong season to visit Kaohsiung ,even local people feels carzy hot too, this is why not much people on the street in the daytime, best travel season will be on November to April

[@yhsinw]

If u go to Chi-Jin, u can do 3 things: 1. Climb up to the hill for about 30 minutes to see the fort,light tower and the sea view. 2. Check out the black sand beach 3. Have meal in the sea food restaurants.

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

Your travel vlog takes me to places I've only dreamed of visiting. Your enthusiasm for exploration is truly remarkable! By the way, have you checked out the new v4 Bento Bag and the Ikigai Backpack from NomadLane? They seem like they'd compliment your travel style perfectly.

[@harisadu8998]

Kaohsiung is just an older romanization, the correct pronunciation is Gaoxiong.

[@tomcheng1877]

我是台灣人。以前都出國旅遊因為便宜。在台灣旅遊其實很不錯；例如往南走，是真的每個人或商家都能當朋友。 往北，一些邪惡喝酒也不貴。welcome

[@brentkingstonphotography4615]

Yes, I have got to go to Taiwan too 👍🏻

[@kuocarl]

You also can tap the easy card on LRT, and it only costs 10 NT

[@ShevandDev]

We used our card for the ferry as we wanted to get rid of some coins for the LRT, easy card is super convenient 😍

Hi Shev & Dev, Great video! I enjoy watching your journey in Taiwan. Keep up with the good work.❤ BTW, those turtles, snails, frogs, etc., are sold as pets.

[@user-qm2gt6lk8p]

So good 👍👍👍

[@kaohsiung99]

Nice video, overall. You really should edit out 13:27 to 13:47. I think KZbin makes it easy to edit videos now. Otherwise, you should find a way to put words on the screen indicating that you miscommunicated with the elderly man selling the frogs, turtles, etc. He did not 'confirm' anything. I couldn't understand what he was saying at all (and I'm fairly fluent in Chinese).

China considers Taiwan as theirs. on August 2023 China has produced their map which includes India's state Arunachal Pradesh, Vietnam’s Paracel and Spratly islands, whole Taiwan and others as part of China. this map of China has been rejected strongly by India Taiwan Philippines Vietnam and Malaysia.
