@@yvonnieng you’re welcome ^.^

[@Daphenomx99]

I shouldn’t laugh because a $300 fine is a lot of money, but that beef jerky story is just so funny and the fact that you including paying the fine at the convenience store in the video is just incredible. Can’t wait for the next vlog, these have all been fantastic.

[@theformalmooshroom9147]

That's some expensive jerky 😂😂. Although to be fair, it can happen to anyone, with the hectic-ness of flying it's easy to forget something so small yet consequential.

[@crazytalk84]

13:10 love jodi being so proud of yvonne chinese and so right who cares about the accent, you successfully communicated and ordered, props

[@datonedumbasian4919]

4:00 legit funny how the lady was talking slow to yvonne only to start speed talking to toast 🤣

[@TAOVex]

Jodi is such a supportive friend, its so nice to see.

[@1Jetsurf]

The beginning is too relatable. Leaving the kitty behind is always the worst part. 😭

[@yvonnieng]

somi 😭😭

[@iantangsg]

I thought it was funny how the breakfast shop auntie's eyes kept darting to Toast and she slowed down alot replying to yvonne,like how you talk to small children. The code switch to english for cheese XD

[@RaisinBug]

It's not a code switch, it's literally how "cheese" is pronounced in mandarin (qi si) lmaoo

[@penguin-tc1cx]

@@RaisinBug no but she actually said cheese in the english way (obviously with an accent), she 100% did not say the mandarin/taiwanese word for cheese and i assume it's to make it easier to understand for them. it happens here in hong kong as well, known as chinglish.

[@RaisinBug]

@penguin-tc1cx not sure why you're 100% convinced it's not the mando word for cheese. The mando word for cheese is 起司 (qi si), which literally sounds like "cheese." The lady in the video spoke slower and with more emphasis, and I think it had more to do with helping Yvonne understand her words in general and less to do with chinglish

[@penguin-tc1cx]

@@RaisinBug yes the word is 起司 but if you listen to the “司” it does not sound like 司, it sounds more like chee”se” but w an accent and a bit of slurring into the 啊. if Taiwan has a different way of pronouncing 司 than standard mandarin then I apologise and take back what I said. I can definitely see why it sounds like 起司 though. -after listening a few more times with headphones, I might actually be wrong bc it’s possible she also just slurred the 司 to 啊 but the fact that she said “sugar free” in English a sentence later makes me still think that she said “cheese.” guess my 100% was off haha my bad but you can see why I and others think she said cheese right? I don’t know why I’m wasting this much time contemplating about cheese oops so I’ll just leave it at that, have a good rest of your day

[@RaisinBug]

@penguin-tc1cx oh yeah, folks in Taiwan like to slur our words, so that might be it 😂 I guess I'm just used to hearing it slurred that way lol

[@BearGrizzles-ef4xi]

I love how watching everyone's vlogs create one complete experience when you watch all the different perspectives.

[@NosyPepper]

4:31 I love the editing and music choices for this whole video! Too many moments to count. You and Lucky knocked it out of the park. 6:57 John has no empathy for your plight. 12:59 Translating from English to Cantonese to Mandarin sounds so tough. Not the Cantonese tones leaking out... 😅 18:46 Maybe smuggling beef jerky gives you street cred now. Doing all of that in just two days with your best friend: jet lag?? Wouldn't have known - you kept the vibe and energy going for the whole vlog!

[@yvonnieng]

Me and brodin legit just landed and same day went on a full day trip it was crazy we rallied hard 😂

[@audreyarrz]

honestly yvonne is my favorite vlogger, like I usually dont watch vlogger content but Yvonne presents it and "does it"(?) in such an entertaining manner. Like not only the editing but in great portion, her personality and hilarious demeanor.

[@Aestheticfly88623]

Yvonne feeding everyone is so cute 🥰 this is how you know she’s the otv mom

I love it that since everyone vloged we can see different points of view from the same trip. Each one has it's own style and it's just so amazing.

[@lngun]

Man, I get so much nostalgia watching these vlogs. Its been over a decade since I was went back to Taiwan but I still remember all the fun place I went to. If you guys plan to go back I would love to see you visit southern Taiwan. Taipei is great but I really like Tainan and Kaohsiung. If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, there is also Green Island and Kenting. Both of these places are ridiculously scenic.

[@ChunyGurl]

Yay a Yvonne vlog ❤ It seems like Toast is always the one who carries cash 💵 True father of the group 😆

[@DeliciousPigeonCheez]

Good tip at the start of the video. Some places are extremely strict about all food (including things like candy) so if you have it, tell them as you could be denied entry into the country. If I'm not mistaken I believe Australia and NZ are extremely strict about it. The landscape is just gorgeous. Love seeing that sea of green trees.

Started off strong 😂 the highest can be up to 3k USD and 300 USD is actually the lowest. A little background information, Taiwan tighten up the regulation after African Swine Flu in China has gotten worse back in Corona time. It was also around the time Taiwan just got the "swine-fever free" status, so they aren't about to get any to keep that status. Also Taiwanese Braised Pork Rice Bowl is so freaking good, highly recommend. Love the vlog, hope you had fun.
