We Drove a Boat on Sun Moon Lake in Taiwan! (我們在台灣日月潭開船)

[@EileenAldis]

IMPORTANT DESSERT CHOICE: Would you rather have the banana wrapped in fried noodles and chocolate sauce (the restaurant's specialty) or black tea ice cream with tapioca pearls and matcha jelly (that you can only get at Sun Moon Lake)?

[@vivo20080101]

the banana wrapped in fried noodles and chocolate sauce at the restaurant, and with other delicious dishes...water bamboo & the soup & the fish.......😋

[@EileenAldis]

@@vivo20080101 Good choice! And love that you included some of the other amazing dishes as well haha! Love that they put the dessert on the table early so it can be admired before it's devoured ❤

The banana first then the black tea ice cream the next day :)

Thank you Guys for another fantastic adventure in Taiwan 🇹🇼. ❤❤

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Ewa! Thank you for coming to the premiere! Spending the day at Sun Moon Lake was really fun, especially all the delicious FOOD ❤ More to come as well!

[@黃愛絜-s9l]

Welcome back to Taiwan! Enjoy your time!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! It feels so great to be back! More videos to come… 😄

[@Michael_Sheldon]

Eileen, you and Mark have such an open-hearted, grateful approach to travel that is lovely. I find myself smiling from the beginning of your vlogs to the end, which is rare for me and KZbin content creators. Thanks for bringing us this glimpse of Taiwan, a country I’ve only explored once but loved. And doing so in wellies and Birkenstocks. Canadian much? 😜😘

[@EileenAldis]

Michael, Thank you sincerely from my heart for what is one of the loveliest comments we've ever received. Reading it has truly made my day. ❤️ We work really hard and hearing that our videos make you smile and bring some joy makes us happy. I'm not surprised you loved Taiwan after one visit because our first visit (back in 2018) was enough for us to fall in love as well. In fact, "Falling in love with Taiwan" was the name of the first video we made about it. 🙂 And, yes, our "Canadian is showing" with the footwear... 😂

[@AlongWeGo]

This video makes me so happy!! My partner and I lived in Taiwan for a year and spent Christmas at Sun Moon Lake in 2020. Its such a glorious place and holds many wonderful memories in our hearts. I'm very glad to see you and Mark are traveling again. We're looking forward to more videos!

[@EileenAldis]

Hey! I'm so happy to see your lovely comment - thank you! We are very grateful to be travelling again and excited about the rest of our new Taiwan series still on the way :) That's so cool that you guys lived there and spent Christmas at Sun Moon Lake! That must've been an incredible experience. I can imagine all the wonderful foods you got to eat during that time too. We've made other videos in Taiwan on previous trips (maybe you've already seen! :P) and those videos are here if you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJuQp2aniqqfq7s. I'm sure there are lots of things that would bring back great memories for you both. I'm curious: after spending so much time in Taiwan, what was your favourite part about it/what do you now miss the most?

[@AlongWeGo]

@@EileenAldis we love your previous Taiwan videos! We watched all of them while we were planning our move to Taiwan. I think one of the major things I miss is the food culture! All the night markets and the tea, you just can’t find anything like it in the states. I also miss the many intricate and beautiful temples. We saw so many while we were there and every time I just felt in such awe.

[@markmccurdy8001]

I thought the mist in the low mountains was beautiful, and added to the mysticism of the area…. I love watching you describe your meals….I want a bite of everything you have!! A GREAT video Eileen and Marc….SO Happy to travel vicariously with you again to TAIWAN..!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! ❤ So happy to be back making videos in Taiwan again in this new series (lots more to come...!). This meal took us by surprise and was absolutely delicious. I especially loved how the food was local, ie the fish from the lake and water bamboo grown nearby. They were two of my new favourites! And the black tea ice cream that you can ONLY order is clearly pretty special as well. So happy you enjoyed it all :)

[@nancyjohnson9247]

Can't wait to see your visit to Taiwan. Thanks for heads up.

[@EileenAldis]

We're quite excited to be back with more from Taiwan!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for coming to the premiere!

[@dustinsigvaldason2738]

We've only spent a day in Taipei on our way to other adventures, but we LOVED it and have never been able to find food quite the same anywhere. Your videos make us want to go back and spend a LOT more time there!

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Dustin! So happy to see your comment! You're right about the food in Taiwan - it's truly fantastic and unique. We loved it too, as I'm sure you can tell from all the videos we made about food there. 😂 Hopefully you can go back and spend more time exploring and, OF COURSE, eating! 😉

[@紀順裕]

A perfect tour vlog and the most handsome and interesting couple 一 a hidden gem just like Taiwan! I just can't wait to enjo watching many more videos! I just can't be tired of watching them! Never ever!

[@vivo20080101]

Thanks, Maria! So glad you enjoyed it ❤️

[@vivo20080101]

Charming Eileen and Marc makes beautiful Sun Moon Lake Taichung Taiwan so colourful! The light rain did not diminish the fun, you two in it, the fun double triple! (love to see you two under the flowery umbrella 🤩) Love the shot when riding the cable cart, mist & trees, a perfect Chinese painting. And the food, hmmmmm, only one word can describe it, YUM YUM! (ok that's two words 🤭) 😋 Hope to meet you at Taiwan when I go back to visit!

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Maria! Thank you for your lovely comment and for coming to the premiere!! That was so much fun ❤️ You're right that the mist made it look like a beautiful painting - what a nice way of putting it. We didn't let the rain put a damper on the day and it actually was neat to see how the lake and mountains looked in the different kinds of weather. We have lots more Taiwan videos coming up so looking forward to sharing them with you! :)

[@kevinwestrom4775]

Excited to see your next adventure video tomorrow morning.

[@EileenAldis]

Wonderful, Kevin! So glad you can join us :)

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for coming to the premiere, Kevin! Hope you enjoyed and have a great rest of the day :)

[@nobotshere8364]

Hoping to go in April 2023! It's been a little while "2017" since we last visited. Our family can't wait to get back. 🇹🇼

[@EileenAldis]

That'd be wonderful to return in April! We hadn't been since 2018 and felt the same way about going back :) More videos to come from Taiwan ❤️

[@manrajgill6416]

Taiwan is fantastic! We've made a lot of videos about it and there are new ones coming!

Wow what a great video as usual it being such a wonderfull memory fom e my visit to Sun moon lake 😍

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! ❤️ And so glad to hear this brought back good memories! When were you in Sun Moon Lake? Does it look the same as you remember?

[@soultraveler1111]

@@EileenAldis Yes, it looks a little different very quiet probably post covid 19. I visited the same temple where you had a short part of bamboo forest and a beautiful sunny day the cable trip and Wenwu Temple. Thank you two, I love to watch your videos always

[@changracing888]

Been watching all your videos last few days. Love them totally awesome!! Especially how many of the Taiwan ones you posted. Cant wait to go…..👍👍👍

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Gilbert! Thank you so much! Your lovely comment makes me very happy ❤️ You’re right that we’ve made A LOT of videos in Taiwan. It’s an amazing place to visit. ☺️

[@ginafriend1690]

Excellent coverage, you two! Fun driving the boat! I have too on a tour boat in Chicago. Nice view from the bottom. Like your a drone yourself! Interesting food. I couldn't do the fish with head on. It's true, I was served at a restaurant some expensive fish, and No Way! Such a nice experience all considered, to make your day complete! 🥰 Thanks for sharing!!

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Gina! Yeah, it was a really fun day of trying new things! That's cool you got to drive the boat on a tour in Chicago. We did an architecture tour by boat when we were there years ago and absolutely loved it. :)

[@ginafriend1690]

@@EileenAldis yes, that's a nice one too! I do it just about every year. The Odyssey is what the Captain let me stir. It was great! I had taken my Mama on for Mothers Day.

[@EileenAldis]

@@ginafriend1690 That's cool! And what a nice thing to do with your mom on Mother's Day :)

[@ginafriend1690]

Black tea icecream. I'm allergic to bananas ☺️

[@EileenAldis]

That makes it an easy choice!

[@RottenRonnies]

I loved the video. The plants and the landscape are absolutely stunning. The food looked very delicious as well. I think I would go for the Black Tea Icecream but wouldn't rule out the Banana as a chaser. Thanks again for another amazing video. My travel list is getting so long. Take good care. ❤

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Ron! Thank you! Not surprised to hear you loved the plants and landscape ;) We can confirm that having both desserts, one right after the other, is a fantastic idea haha. ❤️

[@jjj8515]

Wow thanks for the video!!! Now i want to go to taiwan so badly :p gotta try the fried banana and taro icecream

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for your awesome comment! Taiwan has SUCH amazing food! You will eat very, VERY well ❤️

[@changracing888]

Thanks!

[@EileenAldis]

Driving the boat here was so much fun and the captain was so nice! We especially loved the cable car and being up in the mist 😍 Big thank you for the super thanks!! We truly appreciate your support as creators and look forward to making lots more videos! ❤️

[@toobydude41]

You guys are the perfect sunshine on a rainy day! Wherever you are! That mist sort of added a mystical element to your tram ride didn't it? And yes the tree tops did resemble broccoli lol. Great job at the helm of that boat Captain Eileen! 😄Those gastronomic tidbits looked so good. As I may have mentioned I'm basically a wimp with trying exotic foods (you two would help me overcome that hesitation :)) I guess there's no elegant way of chowing down on the fried banana. lol Black tea ice cream? I'd give that a whirl! Awesome stuff ! Sorry for the lack of well, dryness ! So have you heard any hooting owls lately? 😁

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Scott! aww thank you for the "sunny" compliment! 😉 The mist did indeed veil everything in a kind of storybook quality which we enjoyed. Driving the boat was such a bonus! Didn't expect the Captain to give me the opportunity! You'd have to try the black tea ice cream! It was delicious :)

[@sabrinastraveladventures4263]

Lovely vlog! I really would like to go to Taiwan 🇹🇼 and Korea I was wondering did you fly direct and was it expensive?If so who did you fly with and how long was the flight! The food looks really good! My husband up until recently refused to buy me plants, “you are good with pets but you kill all the plants! “ that was until I got orchids 😅 I now have lots in bathroom and kitchen 🎉😂 It’s just so nice to see you travelling again I missed you loads Bisous Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧

[@EileenAldis]

Hey Sabrina! That makes me really happy to hear - thank you ❤️ We're really excited to share a bunch of new videos coming up (look for another one VERY soon in fact!). LOL about the orchids by the way 😂 I totally know what you mean...they seem quite low maintenance which is nice! I'm sure you'd love Taiwan and Korea - both such incredible places (and easy to visit on the same trip too). We flew with Air Canada from Canada and then with their Star Alliance partners all around Asia. It was a great experience all along the way and the flights were part of the press trip :) We did Air Canada's direct flight from Vancouver to Incheon (after connecting flights to Vancouver). Hope you're having a good week!

我在留言區，看到很少台灣觀眾，這會讓妳觀看數不多，這是不可思議的。 請試試，增加 # 台灣 # 台灣自由行 或 # 外國人在台灣 。 會有助於頻道

[@jakezamora1848]

Hello! Can i ask how much did it cost to rent a boat?? Thanks

Hey Jake! This was part of a press trip so I'm not sure.

where would be your next stop ?

Hi! On this Asia trip we also visit Singapore and Philippines so you'll see videos from there too :) And we visited South Korea! That video is already out if you're interested: bit.ly/awesomeseoulkorea

為何系統沒有推薦妳們的頻道？ 我想我知道答案了。請妳在用 符號 # 時，這樣用 # 台灣 ，加上中文的 引入。# taiwan 會讓系統 推向 英文環境 的觀眾。

謝謝你的建議！希望它會鼓勵更多的觀眾享受這個美麗的地方:)
