    Half sugar is the way to go! Taipei has so many amazing places to go. I was there last month and it was unusually hot for Taipei. I love Elephant mountain views! It's amazing how quiet it is up there and how close Taipei 101 and all the other buildings feel.

    I am a Shanghainese. I traveled Taiwan many years ago. It was a good trip. Taiwan’s food is so greatly 😋
  • @Hongslieng
    Enjoy your trip, but next time you are visiting Taipei again, visit Ximending in the evening. There are quite a lot of things to do there, for example a night market and a performance of dance. 😊

    your spider was one of the many types of orb-weavers! and yes they are HUGE and it's very startling to see one, and VERY easy to walk into their webs because the make really big and very strong ones. They aren't agressive at all and they are good to have around as they eat all the bugs we don't like, such as mosquitoes and gnats! I almost walked into one in the forest once, and just about had a heartattack!

    Welcome to Taiwan~ Ignore political messages.

    Summer crazy hot in Taiwan, but it is also mango season, and Irwin mangos in Taiwan are to die for. Gotta have the mango shaved ice! But to avoid the hear, come back in November. You'll have a much milder weather.
  • hey Joel, i have followed you for so long and i love every bit of your story, you are honestly my ideal right now. all i want it is to be able to live as you live and experience your life style. i am 21 and i am currently studying in Glasgow and all i want is to save enough money to buy a decent camera to film social media videos and be able too follow in your foot steps
  • Hi, great video mate, I highly recommend Taipei zoo if you guys are returning in the future, went there in 2018, the ticket was really cheap(can’t remember the exact price but at the moment I felt it’s like free entry compares to zoos in uk lol). It’s probably the most well-organised zoo I’ve been to. There’s a nice cable car ride near the zoo as well! National Palace Museum is also a cool place, many valuable treasures from all over China was taken to there when the ROC relocated to Taiwan.

    I follow your channel, I like to see more time about one activity and no small time from many activities, see you on next video, and I hope you have a nice day
  • @hinsonhk
    Love your videos! If you ever come to Hong Kong, let me know and I can show you around!
  • @EsploraInsiemeaNoi

  • @jlin7724
    Wow, first time I see so many little pinks under one vlog, and I’ve got recommended and watched several vlogs.
  • Welcome to Taiwan! Enjoy your visit. You will likewise appreciate the safety of all major cities. People in law enforcement are looking for new jobs.
