bo 原本是 [bɑ],在這裡唸成 [bə] 是因為母音被「弱化」了。
但是在唱歌的時候有可能因為效果而不用弱化的唸法。

至於字典的音標:我們這裡講的是美式發音,所以留意不要比對到英式字典(雖然它也標了美式)。查美式發音可以用 Merriam-Webster (只是它用的不是 IPA,是自家的音標)。

最準的就是用 Youglish 聽母語人士在句子裡面講的 everybody 的發音。真正打開耳朵最準確喔!

Taiwan is much more diverse culturally and ethnically than you think. During the second half of 20th century the society was basically formed by the 4 groups, namely the Austronesian indigenous people, the ordinary Taiwanese, Hakka and the followers of Chiang-kai-shek fleeting China around 1949. Today the society of Taiwan is even more diversified by 0.8 legal foreign workers and around 0.1 foreign illegal workers from Southeast Asia. Furthermore hundreds of thousands of Southeast Asians have got married and neutralized in Taiwan. They all bring their original culture to the table.
Many foreigners cast aspersions on the government because they have lived in Taiwan for more than 10 years or more but the government still won't recognize them as Taiwanese citizens. This fact put me in mind of a video I saw yesterday. The Taiwanese youtuber have lived in Germany for 15 years and her husband even more than 30 years. The mayor have invited them to get neutralized in Germany many times on the condition they have to give up their citizenship in Taiwan but they turned down the offer because they want to keep Taiwanese identity.
Those foreigners in Taiwan don't want to give up their original identity because they think China may attack or invade Taiwan anytime and they can fly back to their original country once it occurs. We want our citizens to get together to defend our country. If citizens fly away Taiwan once Taiwan is in danger who defends Taiwan ?

Sounds of Silence

is the twentieth episode in Season One of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
Synopsis
brief introduction, summary, abstract, extract,
Grissom, Sara and Warrick investigate the death of a deaf man who was run over by a car.
However, more investigation shows that he died before the car even struck him.
The team's encounters with the dean of the deaf man's school reveals a secret about Grissom.
Meanwhile, Catherine and Nick investigate an apparent mob hit that leaves five dead in a coffee shop and discover that the victim they thought was the target may only have been collateral damage.
 
Plot  情節 circumstances, plot, story
Victim: Brian Clemonds (deceased) 克萊蒙茲
 
On the case: Gil Grissom, Sara Sidle, Warrick Brown, Ray O'Riley
 
Two young girls run over a body (corpse), thinking they have killed him.
When Grissom and Sara meet Warrick at the scene, they see a broken taillight in the street.
Warrick also shows them a plastic bag with a six-pack of beer in it that was found on the nearby sidewalk.
Grissom lifts the victim's shirt and sees that he has two distinctive tire tread marks over his chest.
Based on the extensive bruising from the wider tread mark, Sara believes the victim was actually killed by a larger vehicle.
Grissom stops Sgt. O'Riley from arresting the two girls, saying that they ran over a corpse.
 
At the autopsy, Doc Robbins informs Grissom, Sara, and Warrick that the victim, identified as 22-year-old Brian Clemonds, was deaf.
Grissom notes that there's a school for the deaf less than a mile from where Brian's body was found.
The thought is that Brian crossed the street and didn't hear a car coming; however, Doc Robbins shows them the dried blood on Brian's knuckles. What are pork Knuckles.
Brian got into a fight that ended in murder.
 
After Grissom notifies Brian's mother, Sara and Warrick travel to the school for the deaf to meet with the school's president, Dr. Jane Gilbert.
Sara angers Dr. Gilbert by bringing a translator along without her permission and only speaking to the translator.
Dr. Gilbert lets everyone know that she has a hearing aid and can read lips.
Insulted, she kicks Sara, Warrick, and the translator out of her office, telling them they can't investigate the crime if they can't understand the victim and his circumstances.
 
Sara and Warrick return to the school with Grissom who, to their surprise, can speak in sign language.
He is able to get into Dr. Gilbert's good graces and informs her that he will keep her in the loop during the investigation if she cooperates.
Grissom finds out that Brian had filed six complaints against his roommate, Paul Arrington.
Paul had recently become deaf and had trouble adjusting to his new circumstances, taking his frustrations out on Brian.
Brian requested a new roommate, but was denied.
 
Paul is brought in for questioning; he doesn't sign or read lips. Grissom attaches a device to Paul's head, and Warrick tells Sara it's called "brain printing."
The plan is to show Paul pictures of the crime scene with his brain waves giving him away, should he recollect the event.
However, the result is negative.
Grissom writes down an apology to Paul, but he shoves the paper away and exits. Before leaving, an angry Dr. Gilbert tells Grissom to look outside the school to catch Brian's killer.
 
Sara runs the tire treads from Brian's torso through a database; there's only 11,000 patterns to sift through.
Warrick, meanwhile, finds lice on Brian's shirt.
The CSIs remark that Brian was clean; therefore, the lice must've come from his attacker.
Sara also examines the broken taillight from the scene and finds a partial serial number on it.
 
綠膿桿菌,又稱銅綠假單胞菌(學名:Pseudomonas aeruginosa),是一種革蘭氏陰性菌、好氧、呈長棒形的細菌,只有單向的運動性。牠是一種機會性感染細菌,且對植物亦是機會性 ...
Greg finds Pyoverdine, a bacteria that forms fluorescent blue dots in the blood, in the blood on Brian's knuckles.
This means that the murder suspect also has the same bacteria in his blood.
Sara, meanwhile, informs Grissom that the tire tread in question belongs to a Ford Explorer, and only one vehicle with the same partial serial number from the taillight is registered in Vegas.
The vehicle is registered to 18-year-old Adam Walkey. 亞當沃基
 
The vehicle in question is located, and Warrick confirms that there's lice in the driver's seat.
Sara also sees that the broken taillight is a match.
Adam is brought to the station for questioning; a warrant is produced for blood and a scalp search.
However, it's determined that Adam doesn't have lice, and Grissom notes that a delousing agent would take days to kick in.
The good news is that Adam's blood tested positive for Pyoverdine, but Grissom tells Sara and Warrick that this alone won't be enough to get a conviction.
 
Sara and Warrick check the undercarriage of Adam's car, finding a piece of fabric wedged in the muffler.
Since the muffler is in the back of the car and the taillight was knocked out, it seems that the driver backed over Brian's body.
Under interrogation, Adam cops to the hit-and-run, and he confirms that his friend, Mark Rucker, was in the car with him that night. 馬克拉克
Dr. Gilbert interrupts the interrogation and angrily confronts Adam before being restrained by Grissom. 
 
Grissom and Sgt. O'Riley interrogate Mark, who first claims that they thought they hit a dog and kept on driving.
During the interrogation, Grissom combs Mark's hair and finds lice.
Grissom lets Mark know that there was not only lice in the driver's seat, but also lice on Brian's sweater.
This confirms that he and Adam got out of the car to see what happened.
When pressed with this information, Mark changes his statement—after hitting Brian, both he and Adam got out of the car and were going to call 911.
Adam, supposedly, convinced Mark not to, as they're young with bright futures.
 
Grissom then relates what he thinks happened: Adam and Mark saw Brian leave the liquor store with a six-pack.
Since they're underage, they wanted to get Brian's attention to get him to buy them beer.
When Brian, unable to hear them, kept walking, Adam and Mark exited the vehicle and started beating Brian up.
When they got in to drive away, Brian appeared in the rearview mirror screaming.
Mark put the car in reverse and backed over Brian.
Grissom tells Mark that Brian was deaf and that the two kids were more afraid of Brian than he was of them.
 
Grissom meets with Dr. Gilbert to let her know they found Brian's murderers.
She asks him how he knows sign language, and Grissom begins telling her by using signs.
 
Victims: Frankie Flynn, Al Robson, Erin McCarty, Alice Neely, Roy Hinton (all deceased)
 
On the case: Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes, Jim Brass
 
Catherine and Nick arrive at the Vegas Grounds coffee shop where five people have been shot and killed.
The victims are Frankie Flynn (former owner of the Orpheus casino) and his bodyguard, a young man wearing headphones and listening to speed metal, and two teenage girls working in the shop: Erin McCarty and Alice Neely.
All bodies are found in the front of the shop except for Erin's, whose body is found in the back room near the rear exit.
No money has been taken from the register, so the CSIs guess that they're looking at a mob hit due to Frankie's previous dealings.
Catherine theorizes that the shooter took out Frankie and his bodyguard first, then proceeded to take out the other three victims.
 
In autopsy, Doc Robbins informs Catherine that Frankie had rinvasive colon cancer and was going to die soon, regardless of the night's events.
Erin, meanwhile, was six weeks pregnant.
When Catherine wants to notify the husband, David Phillips tells her that Erin is single and lives at home with her mother.
 
Back at the coffee shop, Nick collects the shell casings.
Every one of them is a 9mm, which means Frankie's bodyguard never got a shot off.
Catherine, Nick and Brass talk with the shop's owner, Brad Kendall.  布拉德肯德爾
He's distraught when told that his two young employees didn't survive the shooting, and he confirms that the girls would stay until 10:00 PM to close up shop twice a week.
 
Brass discovers that Brad used to work for Frankie Flynn.
Under interrogation, Brad confirms that he used to work at the coffee shop in the Orpheus, and that Frankie used to come in all the time.
He also admits that he owns a 9mm Glock, explaining that he carries a concealed weapon because he makes cash deposits.
 
Bobby Dawson concludes that Brad's gun is not the murder weapon, as the bullet striations don't match the ones on the bullets found at the scene.
However, every 9mm bullet at the scene was fired from the same gun, so the CSIs are looking for one shooter.
Brass also has a tough time, as none of Frankie's known associates or enemies are talking.
There are no statements or physical evidence that indicate this was a hit on Frankie, and the CSIs are puzzled as to why five people are dead.
 
When recreating the crime scene in the coffee shop, Nick believes that something doesn't add up.
Frankie's bodyguard's handprints are found on the counter, which leads Catherine and Nick to wonder if the shooter came from the back.
This is confirmed when they find a ricochet mark from a bullet, which ended up in a bag of coffee beans.
The ricochet went out into the shop; since there's no hole in the door, it had to have been open when the shooting occurred.
Evidence shows that the shooter fired once towards the back parking lot, then again towards the front of the store.
This leads Catherine and Nick to conclude that Erin was the intended target, not Frankie.
Frankie was an innocent bystander, and everyone else was damage control.
 
Bobby Dawson lets Nick know that they have the right gun, but the wrong barrel.
However, each shell casing is laser etched with the manufacturer and caliber, and each casing from a given batch of ammo has the same marking.
If they can match the markings from Brad's ammo and the ammo at the crime scene, then they have their guy.
 
Under interrogation, Brad admits that he had a one-night stand with Erin.
After confirming that Brad's ammo and the crime scene ammo match, Catherine lays out the order of events.
Brad approached Erin about her baby, which she said she would keep and expected Brad to support it.
He shot Erin twice as she walked towards the back door, then shot Alice since she was a witness.
When Frankie and his bodyguard walked in and saw Alice's body, Brad killed them before the bodyguard could draw his gun.
Finally, he killed the guy with the headphones to leave no witnesses.
 
Brad says that he didn't mean for any of that to happen and just wanted to talk to Erin.
However, Catherine points out that he brought his gun with him to the shop.

Episode Title
"Sounds of Silence" is a reference to the 1965 song "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel. It was famously covered by heavy metal band Disturbed in 2015. Interestingly, the song was originally called "The Sounds of Silence".[1] The theme of sounds and silence refers to the main plotline of the episode, which centers on a young deaf man and a school for deaf.  Some of the original text was in the bible.
 
Notes
This is the first occasion we see Grissom use American Sign Language, although he refuses to discuss the reasons for his proficiency (a deaf mother) and it is only later in the series that the scene in which he wears earplugs takes on a deeper significance (his fears that he will lose his hearing).
While Grissom is signing with Dr. Gilbert, he tells her that his mother lost her hearing when she was eight. She loved to swim. When he asked her what it sounded like to be deaf, she told him to stick his head underwater. She considered herself blessed instead of disadvantaged, and she taught Grissom to feel the same way.
 
Trivia
The murder of Brian Clemonds was inspired by murders of Eric Plunkett and Benjamin Varner, students at Gallaudet University, in 2000 and 2001.[2]
The use of brain fingerprinting was applied in the case of James Grinder, a serial killer confirmed guilty in his confessions by the very same technology in four murders.
The coffee shop massacre appears to be heavily inspired by the Austin, Texas yogurt shop murders.

How To Make A Beautiful And Delicious Deviled Egg Bouquet.

I’ve always adored a delicious deviled  egg. They’re the ideal bite-sized treat, and are always a hit as an appetizer or on a party platter. Recently, I discovered an incredible deviled  egg recipe that surpasses all others. This fantastic recipe and presentation by РОССИЯ on YouTube will inspire you to turn your deviled  eggs into a masterpiece from now on!

Ingredients for white tulip deviled  eggs include:

eggs,
crab,
 cream cheese,
green onion,
paprika, and salt.
Instructions:

Step 1: Boil the eggs until they are hard. Allow them to cool.
Step 2: Cut the top of the egg in a cross shape with a sharp knife, going slightly down the sides. Take out the yolk.
Step 3: Combine the  egg yolk, crab, cream cheese, salt, and paprika in a medium bowl. Mix well. Put the mixture into a  piping bag. If you don’t have one, use a Ziploc bag with a corner cut off.

Step 4: Fill each hard-boiled  egg with the egg yolk mixture using a  piping bag.
Step 5: Gently create a small opening at the base of every egg using a straw. Place a green onion as the “stem” inside each egg.

 

That’s all! Just serve and enjoy. This recipe may look fancy, but it’s really easy to make. I’ll definitely be making this for our Easter brunch!

Sister Attempts To Sell Her Brother To The Pet Store | Funny Kids  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paLh2-ir5fU

This is the amusing moment a little girl plots to sell her brother to the pet store so she can buy an owl toy.

The footage, captured in Tolland County, Connecticut, shows the youngster with her dad watching her sibling playing in the snow.

''How did your brother get so silly?'' says the father.

To which the girl, called Rachel, replies: "I don't know, I think we should sell him."

The father can be heard laughing in the background before digging deeper into the girl's plans.

Rachel then explains why they should sell her brother, saying: "Something in him is wrong."

"One dollar or two dollars or three?" she says about a possible price. She later brings up $54.

"I really really wanted a toy owl, so that's what I'm going to spend it on," she explains.

The dad then announces the plan to Rachel's brother: ''Jason, we're going to go sell you to the pet store."

But Rachel takes on negotiations: ''Don't worry Jason, we'll get you back.''

The dad says Jason was ok with the plan.

Rachel's dad writes: ''I took my kids sledging at a local school in our hometown.

''The building across the field makes a really clear echo when you make noise but Rachel wasn't aware of this.

I've been in a relationship with a narcissist, also been experiencing domestic violence, and all kind of abuse you can think of. My whole life has been ruled by fear. I can't even get privacy anymore, he is always poking into everything I do so he can find one fault or the other. A friend recommended to a computer specialist who helped scan my phone and got rid of all the spy softwares follow him if you are interested contact him on instagram.   跟自戀狂交往過,也遭遇家暴,各種虐待你能想到。 我的一生都被恐懼支配。 我甚至不能再隱私了,他總是在我所做的任何事情上戳中,所以他可以找到一個錯或另一個錯。 朋友推薦給電腦專家,他幫我掃描手機,把所有間諜軟體都處理掉了,如果有興趣可以在instagram上聯絡他。

Did you know that mind-blowing fact about Greek islands ?!? 💙🇬🇷
Greece has more than 6,000 islands!!! While only 227 of them are inhabited, each island has a unique culture and landscape, ensuring that every destination will bring a brand new adventure!
The islands are the main characteristic of Greece's morphology and an integral part of the country's culture across the ages.
The Greek islands are divided in complexes : 1. Saronic Islands in Saronic Gulf near Athens
2. Cyclades, a large complex occupying the central part of l Aegean Sea
3. North Aegean islands, situated in the west coast,near Turkey
4. Dodecanese islands, the biggest complex of the groups in the southeast
5. Sporades, the smallest group of islands, off the coast of Volos and Evia
6. Ionian Islands, located to the west of the mainland in the other side of Greece, the Ionian Sea.
Crete with its surrounding islets and Evia are traditionally excluded from this complexes.

你知道那個關於希臘島嶼的令人腦海的事實嗎?!? 💙🇬🇷
希臘有6000多個島嶼!!! 雖然其中只有227個人居住,但每個島嶼都有獨特的文化和地貌,確保每個目的地都將帶來全新的冒險!
島嶼是希臘形態學的主要特徵,也是該國跨時代文化不可或缺的一部分。
希臘群島分為複雜:1。 薩羅尼克群島在雅典附近的薩羅尼克灣
2. Cyclades,一個佔據愛琴海中部的大型複合群
3。 北愛琴海群島,位於西海岸,土耳其附近
4。 多德卡島,東南部群體中最大的群島
5. Sporades,最小的島嶼群,位於沃洛斯和伊維亞海岸
6. 愛奧尼亞群島,位於大陸西部,希臘另一邊的愛奧尼亞海。
克里特島與其周圍的島嶼和伊維亞傳統上被排除在這個複合群之外。

They also have a coast guard that murdered thousands of refugees every year by drowning.  他們還有一個海警,每年因溺水而殺害成千上萬的難民。

My favorite vacation love Greek Isles.  我最喜歡的假期,喜歡希臘群島。

Hi everyone!
After being in Taiwan for almost 2 weeks, I'm now looking to get a Resident Visa to live in Taiwan with my family and eventually open an English school (currently teaching online). 
I've already searched for the requirements online, but do you have any recommendations based on your experience or perhaps recommend any lawyers that could help out with getting a Resident Visa?
P.S. 
Best restaurant has to be Din Tai Fung and favorite place is Sun Moon Lake (Sunrise SUP was cathartic)

Do you think you would qualify for the Taiwan Gold Card? It's probably the easiest and most flexible visa you can get initially. The Digital field is probably the easiest to qualify for.  你覺得你有資格拿台灣金卡嗎? 這可能是最初可以拿到的最簡單、最靈活的簽證。 數位領域可能是最容易獲得資格的。

That’s gotta be the best idea. Thanks! I’m going to see if I am eligible for one.  這一定是最好的主意。 謝謝! 我要看看我是否符合一個資格。

Someone told me the easiest way is to be a student. But I have no idea....

Thank you! It could come down to that idea.  它可以實現這個想法。

You can try to be hired by local cram school, and you can forget about the idea of setting up a business of your own as a foreigner, unless you can bring a lot of cash here.  你可以嘗試被當地的cram學校聘用,你可以忘記當外國人成立企業的想法,除非你可以帶很多現金來這裡。

That’s a possibility! I’ve done well online in Taiwan and hope to do so with in person teaching.  這是一個可能性! 我在台灣的線上表現很好,希望能親自教學這樣做

It's much easier for you to be hired than setting up a business if you don't have any experience of business in here. Taiwan is a very small island province and the strength of competition between businesses ia much higher than other places, blackmailing competitor is very common here, especially in internet era.  如果你在這裡沒有任何業務經驗,你被聘用比設立企業容易得多。 台灣是一個很小的島嶼省份,企業之間的競爭力比其他地方高得多,勒索競爭對手在這裡非常常見,尤其是互聯網時代。
Oh definitely! I have given working for a CRAM school much thought.  哦肯定! 我曾經為一所CRAM學校工作過很多想法。
Why all the anti-entrepreneur attitude? It's very easy to setup a business in Taiwan, simple paperwork and an address where that industry is allowed.  為什麼所有反企業家的態度? 在台灣設立企業非常容易,簡單的文書和允許該產業的地址。
Brian Heins What you said if for native Chinese citizens. For foreigners you need to bring enough capital here and being approved by authority. If you're providing work to local people, we will welcome you to do so; if you're trying to start your own business without hiring local people or cannot create enough revenue for this place, you'll never get a chance.
This is a general practice of every country, if any government failed to protect local people's working opportunities, big trouble is waiting ahead.  你說的話,如果對中國本地公民來說的話。 對於外國人來說,你需要帶足夠的資本來這裡並獲得權威批准。 如果你正在為當地人士提供工作,我們會歡迎你來做;如果你正在沒有聘用當地人士的情況下,你永遠沒有機會。
這是每個國家的普遍做法,如果有政府未能保護當地人民的工作機會,大麻煩就在前面等著。
that's only if you need a Visa.  那才是你需要簽證。
Taiwanese* citizen.
No so simple when you want to open a school. Building also needs to meet fire codes and other codes.  當你想開學校沒那麼簡單。 建築物還需要符合消防碼和其他代碼。
Are you sure you want to make such big move after 2 weeks?   確定2周後要做這麼大的動作嗎?
Maybe he has his reason to escape from the place he comes from.  也許他有他的理由可以逃離他來自的地方。
Been teaching online to Taiwanese for 2+ years and love the place. It’ll be a dream come true.  2 年多了,很愛這個地方。 這將是一個夢想成真。
Very good well done you. Where are you going to open your English school?
Thanks Doug! It’s going to be in Taipei
that’s good. I spend the winters in Taichung.
How’s Taichung?
love it does not have the nightlife that Taipei has little bit more relaxed. Temperature is much better than Taipei not as cold and not as hot. Well lately it’s been very hot.  喜歡它沒有台北的夜生活 放鬆一點。 氣溫比台北好太冷也沒那麼熱。 好吧,最近很熱。
Definitely worth a visit! I’ve heard so many great comments about the place.  
yes Taichung is interesting. Not as easy to get around as Taipei. And if you like food check out Tainan. What am I saying lol if you like food check out Taiwan. Lol
是的,台中很有趣。 沒有台北那麼容易繞。 如果你喜歡吃的可以看看台南。 我在說什麼哈哈,如果你喜歡食物,看看台灣。 哈哈
Congratulations
We went for 2 years stay more than 20. The best decision ever.  我們去了2年,住了20多。 史上最棒的決定。
That’s the dream!
Check out this link. It is about getting an entrepreneur visa in Taiwan.  就是要在台灣取得企業家簽證。
For some reason I cannot post the link. Please Google Taiwan Entrepreneur Visa. There are a few government sites about the application requirements and process. Good luck!  因為某些原因,我無法發佈連結。 請 Google 台灣企業家簽證。 有一些政府網站關於申請要求和流程。 祝你好運!
Thank you Vivien! It’s greatly appreciated.
Some underground businesses still controlled by the mafia.  一些地下企業仍然由黑手黨控制。
Fred, I Private Messaged you, you can check your inboxes.
Din tai dung is great everywhere. Find some hole in the wall and try the beef noodle soup. Also how is your mandarin?
Agreed! There's nothing better than local food! The soup was amazing! My mandarin needs improvement, so I'll take Chinese lessons in the morning.  沒有什麼比當地美食更好的了! 湯太棒了! 我的普通話需要改進,所以早上上中文課。
I also love to stay in Taiwan. I try applying for teaching in Taiwan but always no reply. My experience is only giving private tuition to elementary or primary school students.
Btw I am from Singapore.  我也愛待在台灣。 我嘗試申請台灣教學,但總是沒有回覆。 我的經歷只是給小學生或小學生私人學費。
Nice! Thanks for sharing! I hope I can visit Singapore in the future.
Gold card program is another option.
Thank you! I will definitely be pursuing a gold card.
You may ask our official immigration office.  可以問問我們的正式移民辦公室。
Thank you! Will do!
you want a real tips... dont do it... since 2003 i live in Taiwan. and own my trading co. since 2005 . better be a good employ.  你想要一個真正的提示... 不要做... 自2003年起,我就住在台灣。 而且擁有我的貿易公司。 自2005年起。 最好是個好員工。
Thank you for sharing your experience!
i know that feel...nothing will stop...whatever.
ohh i almost forget , in Taiwan they have a basic rule saying " what can do a Taiwanese in your country ..you can do same in Taiwan" so let me ask any Taiwanese can open an office or run a business in your country? if yes..you are already step in.  哦,我差點忘了,在台灣他們有一個基本規則說「在你的國家台灣人可以做什麼.. 你可以在台灣做同樣的事”所以我問問有台灣人可以在你的國家開辦公室或經營企業嗎? 如果是... 你已經介入了。
You may earn some money here if you come earlier than 1995, after that it's more and more difficult to earn money in Taiwan, I can only say you go to the wrong side of China at that time.  海嘯你來這裡可能賺到一些錢,之後台灣越來越難賺,我只能說你當時去錯邊了。
wrong side of China ?? i come in T A I W A N ... not the wrong side of china.  中國錯誤的一面?? 我進來了... 不是中國錯誤的一面。
To be honest, there’s a reason most English schools are run by Taiwanese. Most foreign opened English schools don’t work unless one of the partners is Taiwanese. You will need strong Mandarin ability as well as an understanding of the expectations of parents here. There is also an over abundance of cram schools, a high number of teachers and a declining enrollment. You will need X amount of capital just to get the business license and without a good number of students you won’t be making profit for quite a while. In the last 10-20 years English schools and coffee shops are the two businesses that more people try to open and most barely make it the first two years.
Trying to build a private tutoring schedule may be better as it’s low overhead and cash in hand. Your own school you will need employees, an accountant, someone to deal with the regular government inspections, you will be paying taxes, NHI, pension and more, plus rent, supplies and initial setup.
Early 2000s was the big boom for English schools and probably 75% are gone. Also finding an accessible location for students to come after school will be hard as most chains are already there and will price you out with their packages.
You want to make a decent living? Find a school with good block hours and work there to see how it really is here. There are good schools. I’ve been at the same school/business for 18 years now.  老實說,大多數英語學校都是台灣人開的。 大多數國外開設的英語學校不工作,除非其中一位夥伴是台灣人。 需要強大的普通話能力,以及瞭解父母的期望。 還有超多的拉筋學校,師資人數多,招生人數下降。 你只需要 X 多的資本,才能拿到營業執照,沒有一群好的學生,你將無法獲利一段時間。 在過去的10-20年,英語學校和咖啡店是更多人嘗試開業的兩家商家,最幾乎沒有做到前兩年。
試圖建立私人輔導時間表可能會更好,因為它在頭上低,手中有現金。 你自己的學校需要員工、會計師、有人處理政府定期檢查,你將會繳稅、NHI、退休金等等,還有租金、物資和初步設置。
2000 年代早期是英語學校的大熱潮,可能有 75% 消失了。 另外,在放學後找到一個可靠的地點,讓學生到來的學生會很困難,因為大多數鏈條都已經在那裡,而且會用他們的包裹給你
你想過得像樣的生活? 找到一間有良好的街區時間的學校,然後在那裡工作,看看這裡到底是怎樣的。 有好學校。 我已經在同一所學校/企業18年了。
Correct, as a foreigner without a lot of funds better get hired, not start a business. This is due to human nature.  正確,身為一個沒有大量資金的外國人最好被雇用,而不是創業。 這是由於人性。
Thank you Mat! You're comment is truly insightful and factual. I run a full schedule doing online tutoring abroad, but I'd like to transition to group tutoring and it'll still be a great opportunity to fill in more early afternoon hours which I before spent sleeping since it was the early morning.  謝謝Mat! 你的評論真的很有見解和事實。 我跑了一個滿檔的行程,在國外做線上輔導,但我想轉換到團體輔導,仍然是一個很好的機會,可以填寫更多凌晨的時間,因為那是凌晨之前我都在睡覺。
If you are qualified for a Gold card then go Gold card.
congratulations...ps, u need no lawyers for resident Visa as long as u fulfill all requirements.  ps,只要你滿足所有要求,你就不需要居民簽證的律師。
Thank you! I will try to follow everything online.
Thank you very much! I will go there once I arrive.
Message t u.  Very good idea! Welcome to Taiwan!  I would like to help u although I am not a lawyer! Where re u from?

Hi everybody,
I am here today with a good friend of mine, Victoria
who is from America.
But, Victoria had a lot of Asia influence
in her life, growing up.
So, do you want to tell us about that?
Yes. Hi everyone.
Growing up, my dad was a pilot,
so he would go for a week at a time,
to China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
And every time he came back
he would bring me and my sister some gifts.
So, growing up we had our own ...
He learned how to cook that food.
So, growing up I also ate a lot of different foods
from Asian countries
and we learned how to use chopsticks from a young age.
Except for my mother.
She still, to this day, cannot use chopsticks.
Another influence was my sister.
She started doing taekwondo when we were younger.
She decided in college
that she wanted to learn Japanese,
so she introduced me to anime
and she decided to study abroad in Japan.
So, that was really awesome seeing her experiences in Asia.
So, then you had that influence from your father
and then from your sister.
And then you also made Asian friends
and started to do martial arts.
My first job when I graduated college was in accounting.
That's my degree.
But I found that I was actually unhappy,
so I wanted to find a way to get out all this pent-up anger
in a constructive way.
So, I looked up different martial arts places around where I lived.
I knew I couldn't do Taekwondo
because I couldn't be the same as my sister.
Important stuff.
Yes, absolutely.
So, I found a Kungfu school,
and I looked up online and I read their reviews
and their code of ethics and it really resonated with me.
I made such great lifelong friends
and built a family in my Kungfu school
and it was just amazing.
When you reach a certain belt level
it's expected that you teach the younger students
and the lower belt levels.
It was really great learning how to help others
doing something that I absolutely love.
that's where I found my passion for teaching.
Did you plan to move abroad?
I knew I didn't want to stay in the United States
because I was feeling unhappy in political environment.
I knew not Japan, because that was where my sister went.
Individuality is key.
My best friends are Taiwanese-American and Chinese American.
So, I was already exposed to the food,
the culture and the language through my friends
and where I live.
I started looking into Taiwan.
And the more I learned about Taiwan through YouTubers.
That's where I found you
because I really appreciated your honest take on Taiwan.
I could see how you lived with your family.
I followed Layers of Jen,
who was doing travel videos at the time.
So I got to see different parts of Taiwan,
and I thought, "OK, I want to move to this country! Absolutely!"
So, Victoria is also married to a very handsome Taiwanese man.
Do you want to tell us how that came about?
Like I said, my friend is Taiwanese-American.
She joined this APP for a language exchange to practice her Chinese.
And on this APP she met my now husband, Arnold.
She met a lot of weird guys on the App.
so she said, "Oh, I'm married."
and he said, "Ok, that's irrelevant.
Can you please help me learn English? Thank you."
So, one day she asked him how he feels about blind dates.
Then she asked how he feels about foreigners.
And he was like, "Oh they're fine."
What he thought was an Asian American.
So, when he saw a picture of me he was quite shocked.
So, over the next month, he and I messaged on LINE.
All of our goals actually aligned.
It was very helpful
because I was already going to move to Taiwan.
When was the first time you guys met in person?
After a year and a half of dating online,
he decided that he was going to come to America
for the very first time,
two weeks before I moved to Taiwan,
and then we could fly back together.
He is so brave because immediately from the airport
I drove him to my Kungfu master's birthday party.
He met my entire family.
I gave him the Texas tour.
Where I'm from in Dallas
I took him to the really cool places there.
Then we went and visited my parents.
I took him down to Austin to meet my sister.
Then Saint Antonio,
where he met my grandmother and my aunt and uncle.
And he met my childhood best friend.
Really, he didn't have to come over to America
because in just a week or two you were going to come to Taiwan.
Arnold is such a sweet and considerate person.
He thought that it was important to meet my parents,
to put their minds at ease.
My dad was very against me going to Taiwan.
He was very concerned about China.
When exactly did Arnold propose?
He proposed last April.
The story is straight out of a K drama with how romantic it was.
So, the morning of the proposal,
we were planning on going to Yingge Old Street.
I put on my nice pretty dress and I said,
"Oh Arnold, I look so cute today.
It's too bad you won't propose."
The plan was to go to Yingge Old Street
and do a scavenger hunt.
We were really excited but we almost cancelled
because it was heavily raining.
So, we arrived and everyone was there already.
We divided into two groups, so we were versus each other.
Obviously, I could not be on the same team as Arnold
because I wanted to destroy him.
We each chose a little ball
and it had our character that we were playing in the game.
We were going around and solving riddles.
One of them was finding
a hot and cold dessert in Taiwan that was round.
I was fast walking, trying to beat these guys.
I was going to win no matter what.
The whole time our friend, Brian, who studies videography
was recording the whole thing.
That's his thing
so I was not suspicious at all.
One of the games we met up with the other group
and it was carrying a Ping pong ball with chopsticks around a big circle.
IT was so windy and it was raining as I said before.
So, it was so difficult.
We finished before them, so I was like,
"Let's go! Let's go! Run, run run!"
So, we played other riddles,
we figured them out and we ended up at Starbucks
and we had to play one more game.
Arnold and his group ended up showing up at the same time
and I was like, "No!"
They also solved it.
So, the employees of the group said
that because both teams unlocked this special level,
so we got to guess two people's identities.
They guessed Arnold's and Ryan's,
the one who was recording everything.
So, they got kidnapped.
Then, every single person needed to go to the bathroom.
"Oh my gosh, guys! Why are you all lollygagging?
We've got people to save!"
We were given the final clue
and I can't remember what it said,
but if you looked at the letters down it spelt HOTEL.
I said, "I know exactly where that hotel is!"
They looked at each other, and said, "Oh, you do?"
I'm like a speed racer!
"Hurry up! We've got to save them!"
They were trying to stall you
and you were not having it!
I am not being slowed down at all.
We got to the hotel and they said,
"Only the witch gets to go up the elevator
into this room and save them"
I was freaking out
because my Chinese is not good enough to rescue them.
I'm like panicking now.
"Who wants to be the witch?"
"You have the key. You go!"
They tell me got to this floor and this room number,
and I'm like, "Okay."
I was hyping myself up in the elevator.
"How to say this in Chinese?" in my head.
Repeating it to myself.
I used the keycard to open the door.
On the floor is a trail of rose petals.
Big balloons that said, "Will you marry me?"
with Arnold standing there looking as handsome as ever,
holding my favourite flowers.
In the centre of the room was a pit
and it had rocks in it.
It was full of balloons and rose petals
and a treasure chest.
I was freaking out.
I was shaking trying to unlock it.
And inside is the box.
So, he takes the box
and gets down on one knee.
He was so, so nervous.
Honestly, I said yes,
and the door swings open
and everyone I was playing the game with earlier came walking in.
Arnold had actually invented this whole entire game for the proposal.
He had to get two friends I had not met before,
so I would not recognise them as the employees.
They even had vests on with the "company's logo".
It looked so official.
I had no idea.
My mind was blown that this man
loves me so much to do this much for me.
It really just felt like, a K drama.
He went above and beyond.
So fella's step up.
I got a text message.
Has he continued to step up to the game?
Yes. Every single day.
He was even accepting that we have two weddings.
One in Taiwan and one in America,
so that both of our families could experience our happiness.
That special treatment of me has just gotten better every single day.
Especially now that our family has grown with the birth of our daughter.
How he takes care of her every single day.
How he looks at her.
I just fall in love all over again.
I fell in love with this man
because of who he is and now I love him even more,
which I didn't know was possible
because of the father, he is to our daughter.
The complete adoration and devotion he has
for me and to Ophelia.
I'm so lucky.
Having Ophelia in Taiwan and to do this.
It's a big deal to have a baby, right?
Yeah.
The biggest factor was the financial burden in America.
Men don't get paternal leave often.
Maternity leave is about 6 weeks maximum.
That was one of the factors.
Another was the care that's provided
for mothers and children in Taiwan.
The health care system here actually cares about you.
Culture as well.
Taiwan is a much safer country than America.
What's the plan now?
We are surviving.
Ok, as long as you keep surviving,
we will have to make some more videos together
and see how you are getting along
and see how parenthood is in Taiwan.
Yes especially as a foreigner
because it is a different experience.
So, thank you guys for watching.
Remember to click like,
because there is just no way of not liking Victoria's story.
Share this video with your family, and your friends.
Share it with your fellas, your sons, your brothers.
Let them know what a good man looks like.
And check that you have subscribed to the channel.

I don’t totally agree with this I slept with my daughter dad the first night we had a date and we dated five years after that one night  我不完全同意這一點,我和我女兒爸爸一起約會的第一天晚上,我們約會了五年後的一個晚上

Well, technically us women are the ones who are not interested in men for anything serious if we get to have sex with them on the first night  好吧,技術上,我們女人是對男人對任何嚴重事情沒有興趣的人

And what's preventing a woman from losing interest and respect for you if you do it on the first date? Double standard much.  如果你第一次約會就這樣做,有什麼可以阻止一個女人對你失去興趣和尊重? 雙重標準很多。

Seeing a huge Huntsman Spider might be scary, but every time I see one I am comforted that they are hunting down the cockroaches near my home.

看到一隻巨大的獵人蜘蛛可能會很可怕,但每次看到一隻我都很安慰,他們正在追捕我家附近的蟑螂。

未提供相片說明。

they are called huntsman because they don’t weave webs but catch insects by being super fast, so if you do try to get rid of one, be aware they can move at lightning speed.  它們被稱為獵人,因為它們不會編織網頁,而是用超快的速度捕捉昆蟲,所以如果你確實嘗試除掉一隻,請注意它們可以以閃電的速度移動。

I do prefer them than roaches.   the cockroaches.

ya but it's still a giant spider in your room. lol  是的,但它在你房間裡仍然是一隻巨大的蜘蛛。 哈哈

Are they harmful to humans, or aggressive? I am quite scared of spiders, but if it means getting rid of roaches, I will welcome them with plenty of love.  它們是害人類,還是攻擊性? 我相當害怕蜘蛛,但如果它意味著擺脫蟑螂,我會用滿滿的愛來迎接他們。

Dad embarrasses teenage daughter

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/yywwr9biS5I

The only thing a dad loves more than his kids is embarrassing them every chance he gets, and this humorous clip shows nothing different. 

Shared by Jenna Robinson, this footage features her husband, Eric acting silly in front of his daughter in a public parking area. 

The girl tries everything in her power to ignore her old man and convince everyone around that they aren't related, but the cheeky smile on her face isn't doing her case any favors. 

"My husband is embarrassing our teenage daughter who is constantly annoyed/embarrassed by anything we do," Jenna told WooGlobe.

Actually, millennials and gen-Zers are now buying way more new manual transmission cars than any other age group:

可能是文字的圖像

didn't i read an article a year ago about how there's only ONE model production car left in America that offers manual transmissions still???

No, there's still about a dozen. But they're almost all sports cars: https://www.caranddriver.com/....../manual....../

oof! over half of those are $60k+

I’ll believe that when I see it.

Accelerator.. Break.. clutch.. and Emergency Brake... my cars were all like this for the first 10 years of me driving.

加速器.. 休息.. 離合器.. 和緊急剎車... 在我開的前十年,我的車都是這樣的。

Pretty much everywhere outside the US still treats manual transmissions as, well, standard, so I really don’t think this is the burn you think it is.

美國以外的各地,幾乎仍然把人工傳輸當作標準,所以我真的不認為這是你認為的燒傷。

It’s a Double clutching system with an emergency rear differential drop on the left. This is a right hand drive of course.

它是雙離合系統,左邊有緊急後差速器掉落。 這當然是右駕。

You should find a picture with all 6 pedals, including the starter pedal and the dimmer switch, as well as the gas, clutch, brake and parking brake!

你應該找一張照片,有全部6個踏板,包括啟動式踏板和調光器開關,以及油門、離合器、剎車和停車剎車!

lol, the three “normal “ pedals plus hand brake, my old dads Mercedes had that arrangement , and it worked well with the auto gear box , as memory serves it auto released once you selected Drive or Reverse and taped the throttle lightly and away you went, perfect.

lol,三個“普通”腳踏板加上手剎車,我的老爸爸賓士都有這樣的安排,而且它與汽車齒輪箱配合良好,因為記憶體在你選擇了Drive或Reverse時,自動放開油門,輕輕輕地輕拍下,你就走了,完美。

Left to right; parking brake,clutch pedal,brake pedal,gas pedal! ( you left out the “dimmer switch pedal” and the starter button pedal to the right of the gas pedal! Guess I’m showing my age?

左到右;停車剎車,離合器踏板,剎車踏板,油氣踏板! (你把「調光器開關踏板」和油門踏板右邊的啟動按鈕踏板! 我猜我顯示我的年齡了?

It's a manual gearbox vehicle with foot brake.  它是一輛手動變速箱車,有腳剎車。

Add a floor starter button or floor dimmer switch to really confuse ‘em.  加上地板啟動按鈕或地板調光器開關,以確實混淆他們。

whyyyyyy ???? Who wants them driving our stuff!!!!

From left to right
Emergency brake. Clutch. Brake. Accelerator.

Right hand drive manual shift.  really ... lol  Right hand drive? This ain't England!

It'd make more of an impact to show the highbeams floor switch.

Lmao. They have no idea how to drive this.  true.

Foot break.

And for more fun, add the windshield washer, starter and dimmer pedals.  為了更多樂趣,加上擋風玻璃清洗機、起動器和調光器踏板。Mercedes parkeringsbremse.

I'm a boomer, and I'm also confused. Accelerator on the right, then clutch and brake are to the left, but what's the third one?

E break.

Ahh, makes some sense. I had thought the Ebrake would be hand-actuated.

90s ford trucks are foot operated.  90年代福德卡車是腳操作的。

Yeah I’ve never seen a foot one when you have a clutch. Could be an ejection pedal for the passenger seat!

As are older autos.   和舊的汽車一樣 

Yeah when they have a bench seat.  是的,當他們有長凳座位時。

It all depends on the vehicle.

my 92 hard one the brakes went out and drove home on the e brake holding the release open.  我92硬的那台剎車出門,坐著e剎車開回家,抱著放開。

all trucks got e brake foot pedal only newer cars have hand e brake, older model cars had foot e brake too.  e剎車腳踏板只有較新的車有手e剎車,較舊的模型車也有腳e剎車。

I have a 64 Ford Galaxie and it has a foot operated emergency/parking brake.  我有一輛64 Ford Galaxie,它有腳操作緊急/停車剎車。

love the 64 galaxy does it have a 427.


Hi everyone. I’m new to the group. 
I am American born Taiwanese. I have an old Taiwanese passport and hukou (Household Registration). The consulate in Chicago told me that I need to enter on a special visa and then live in Taiwan for a year without exiting to obtain permanent residency.  I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through this process.  I’ve been to Taiwan many times and staying for a year traveling the island is not a problem, but I don’t know what I don’t know so I’m hoping to get some advice. 
Thanks and Cheers!

I'm going through this process right now. If one of your parents is Taiwanese, you can get your citizenship thanks to a new law passed in 2024 - it also bypasses the need to live there in one year. If you have a Taiwan passport without Household Registration, you'll just need a few extra items (FBI-background check and health check and a temporary visa, you can enter the country and proceed directly to get your household registration (same day). After that, go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and get a new passport/full citizenship (takes about 2 weeks) and exit the country with your new passport.
There's a lot of outdated information out there because of the new regulations and unfortunately, the Chicago consulate isn't the most helpful (they've contradicted information I've received from the Los Angeles and Washington DC office and have added more steps to the process that I didn't need to do).

我現在正在經歷這個過程。 如果你的父母中有一位是台灣人,你可以獲得國籍,感謝2024年通過的新法律——它也繞過一年內生活的必要。 如果你有台灣護照沒有戶籍,只需要額外幾項(FBI-背景檢查和健康檢查和臨時簽證,就可以入境直接辦戶籍(同一天)。 之後,去外交部辦理新護照/全國籍(約2周),然後拿著新護照出境。
由於新規定,外面有很多過時的信息,不幸的是,芝加哥領事館並不是最有幫助的(我從洛杉磯和華盛頓特區辦公室收到的信息相矛盾,也為我不需要做的程序增加了更多步驟)。

do you need your parents to come in person for signatures? That was the prices a few years ago and where we got stuck.  你需要父母親親來簽名嗎? 那是幾年前的價格,也是我們被困住的地方。

Lily The documents just need to be authenticated (the signatures can be notarized). Authentication is a process in of itself but it can be done by mail.
You'll need your birth certificate, your parents' household Taiwanese registration/Taiwan ID, and their marriage certificate to get a passport without household registration. They need to be authenticated by the consulate closes to where those documents originated (for example, I was born in San Diego and my parents were married in Vegas so we need them authenticated by the LA or SF consulate); when you're ready for citizenship, you'll have to get an FBI background check authenticated from DC.  文件只需認證(簽名可以公證)。 認證本身就是一個過程,但它可以通過郵件完成。
您需要您的出生證明、父母的戶籍/台灣身份證、結婚證明,才能辦理無戶籍的護照。 他們需要通過領事館接近那些文件的起源地(例如,我出生在聖地牙哥,我的父母在拉斯維加斯結婚,所以我們需要通過洛杉磯或國保領事館的認證);當你準備好公民身份時,你就得拿到 FBI 背景檢查已從 DC 驗證。

what if my parents don't live in Taiwan anymore? I have family in Taiwan though. I'm currently in the process too and super confused with the steps.  如果我爸媽不再住在台灣怎麼辦? 我在台灣有家人。 我目前也在進行中,對步驟超級混亂。

Angela It's ok if they don't live in Taiwan. My mom hasn't been living there for nearly 50 years; but having an active household registration does make the process easier (she goes back every two years to get her benefits).  他們不住在台灣也好。 我媽將近50年沒住在那裡了;但有戶籍活動確實讓過程更輕鬆(每兩年回去拿好處)。

can I use my aunt's address?

Angela Yang it depends on the stage of the process; you need to use your own for all paperwork but if you're entering the country on a passport without household registration and want to exchange for full citizenship, you don't need it (if you have a parent with household registration and your documents have been verified). Other relatives, registration those living in Taiwan can be added to your application but they're not necessary if you're applying as a child of someone who has household registration.  看流程階段而定;所有文書都需要用自己,但如果你是持無戶籍的護照入境,想要換全國籍,你就不需要了(如果你有戶籍的家長,有戶籍的家長) 您的文件已通過驗證)。 其他的親戚,居住在台灣的登記可以加入你的申請,但如果你是申請戶籍地的子女,他們就不需要了 。

I think I'll go get my FBI background check and health check first then go to the consulate. I have a passport without household registration. My parents said I'm a citizen now but apparently it's not true lol. Thanks!  我想我先去做FBI的背景檢查和健康檢查,然後去領事館。 我有一本沒有戶籍的護照 我父母說我是公民,但顯然不是真的,哈哈。 謝謝!

Angela You're almost there! Just keep in mind that the FBI check is good for a year and the health check has to be at an approved facility from the consulate service area - that check is only good for 3 months before you go to Taiwan to register.  你就快到了! 請記住,FBI 檢查一年好,健康檢查必須在領事館服務區核准的機構 - 那個檢查只有 3 個月才好,才能去台灣登記。

wait, forreal? Can you link the article to the law that passed?  等等,真的? 可以把這篇文章連結到通過的法律嗎?  like even as an adult?

 

Jess Hi, yes. I shared the links from the state dept and some other resources but they were blocked by the group. The Taiwan Ministry of Interior is the official site; there's another that breaks it down but the link won't post on here.  Jess 嗨,是的。 我分享了來自州的聯繫和一些其他資源,但他們被群組封鎖了。 台灣內政部是官方網站;還有一個拆解它,但連結不會在這裡發佈。

Jess Feel free to DM me and I can share the consulate's links if you'd like.  歡迎私訊我,如果你願意我可以分享領事館的連結。

thank you! I will have to do the same! 謝謝! 我也要這樣做!  I’m sending you a PM.  

Not correct. Under new laws since January 2024 if you have one parent who had Hukou (Household Registration) then you only need to enter Taiwan and you can register for HHR and ID card. You do not need to live here for one year.  不正確。 根據2024年1月起的新法律,如果您有一位有湖口的家長,您只需入境台灣,即可登記人力資源及身分證。 你不需要在這裡住一年。

We on the the other hand, went through a much easier process last year:
1, Renewed our passports (were out dated for over 30 years-due to vacation limits, never stated longer than 3 weeks, therefore)
2, Entered into Taiwan with the renewed passports
3, Follow the procedure for establishing our household, you will need a sponsor to add you into their household)
4, health and all other follow suit.
Your best bet is Chicago and district officials in Taiwan.  另一方面,我們去年經歷了更容易的過程:
1、重新辦理護照(因為假期限制,已經過了30多年,從未說明超過3周)
2、持續辦的護照進入台灣
3、按照建立我們的家庭程序,你需要一個贊助商來將你加入他們的家庭)
4、健康和其他所有效仿。
你最好的賭注是芝加哥和台灣地區官員。

Consulate? 🤔 Curious...  領事館?

it’s technically not a consulate, but it functions as one and is shorter than writing Taipei Economic and Cultural office.  它在技術上不是領事館,但它作為一體,而且比寫台北經濟文化辦公室還短。

Are you military conscription age, 18-36? Beware that the military could call on you to serve.  你是軍事徵兵年齡,18-36歲嗎? 小心軍方可以呼籲你服役。

You already have citizenship. Why do you need to establish residency? As people above have mentioned, once you established residency, you may be required to serve in military if you are male within the age limits.  你已經有公民權了。 為什麼要建立居住權? 如上述人士所說,一旦建立居住地,年齡限制內的男性,可能會被要求服兵役。

thanks for trying. I don’t think you understand.   我覺得你不明白。

 

subtle taiwanese traits would be a much more helpful group as it's primarily taiwanese living abroad or living here.  會是一個更有幫助的團體,因為它主要是居住在國外或居住在這裡的台灣人。

Those who lives in Taiwan has no idea about this.

Like someone else mentioned before, be aware of mandatory military service. I was told by TECO in Miami that if I was interested in obtaining hukou (Household Registration) /citizenship, I should wait until after my 37th bday to avoid mandatory military service. 就像別人之前說的一樣,要注意強制服兵役。 在邁阿密的TECO告訴我,如果我有興趣獲得湖口(Household Registration)/國籍,應該等到37歲生日過後,才能避免強制服兵役。

 


Unforgettable encounter with super cute Koala wanting kisses, cuddles... and water

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your overwhelming support of the channel!
I apologise that I didn't post as many videos as I had initially promised. However, with the videos that were made and the support you gave, for the months of May and June, my YouTube earnings came to a total of AU $427.31! What an awesome result!?
As suggested by many of you, the charity of choice to which the money will go is in support of protecting Koalas here in Australia. 
Friends of the Earth Melbourne is a not-for-profit organisation that seek to empower communities and individuals on both a local and global scale by creating a sustainable and equitable future for all. Currently, they are attempting to raise AU $30,000 for the 30,000+ Koalas and 3+ billion other native animals that died in the recent 'Black Summer' Bushfires earlier this year. The money will go into extensive and critical research of the koala's key species, Strzelecki Koala, to help understand how it can support the recovery of other koala populations. Not only this, but FoE can use the money to protect koala habitat, build pressure for greater environmental pressure at a state and federal level, and work with local communities and experts to ensure the long-term security of koalas all over Australia.

AND, all donations up to the AU $30,000, will be matched dollar for dollar by EthicalJobs.com.au until 30 September 2020.

You can read more about Friends of the Earth's work advocating for Koala protection here >>> https://www.melbournefoe.org.au/skat

If you would like to personally donate, please follow this link:  >>>  https://chuffed.org/project/ethicaljo...
Much love always,

Our adorable little 'neighbour' pops in for a visit every now and again at our place in the Adelaide hills. Usually this little fella just sits in the tree in our pool area unfazed by anything around it but this time he was keen to come & make friends. So cute!!! please note that it is a fresh water pool. We provide him with his own water bowl, but on this hot day he preferred the cooler pool water

1. hug (v.) 互相擁抱、緊靠;(n.) 擁抱 · 2. hold (v.) 持有、抱著 · 3. cuddle (v.) 親熱地摟住、深情擁抱 · 7. cling (v.) 黏著、纏著、緊握不放.

I wish this is how people and animals co-exist.

Such a gentle and respectful way to approach and treat that little fellow.

A truly unforgettable moment .  We need more moments like this .

1.Beef BOURGUIGNON did not contain cream.

紅酒燉牛肉,又翻譯為孛艮地牛肉、孛艮地紅酒燉牛肉,是一道法國料理。使用紅酒、洋蔥、蒜頭、香草和鹽去燉煮牛肉,也經常使用蘑菇、紅蘿蔔、西芹、馬鈴薯等食材做為配料。

2. Customer Unable to get a table when we weren't open.

3. French onion soup was too oniony.

Come on in and find your own unique complaint.

BOURGUIGNON的意思、解釋及翻譯:1. a sauce made with red wine, onions, and mushrooms: 2. a dish made with a sauce consisting of…。

 

That’s a positive way of looking at things.  這是一種積極的看待事情的方式。

Too many fruits in fruitsalad!  水果沙拉太多水果了!

My favorite complaint will always be on a night we were serving all you can eat crab legs and the customer said the melted butter was "too greasy".      我最喜歡的抱怨永遠會在我們為你提供的蟹腿服務的晚上,客人說融化的牛油「太油了」。

Wtf on the first one. Who the heck puts cream in beouf bourguignon? The stew relies on the acidic tannins of red wine to slowly break down the connective tissues through the beautiful process of braising. Any cream or milk will curdle the second you introduced it. 第一張就上了。 誰把奶油放在bourguignon? 燉肉依靠紅酒的酸性單寧,透過美麗的燉養過程,慢慢分解連接組織。 任何奶油或牛奶都會在你介紹的那一秒凝結。

This steak is too juicy and too soft to chew. Steak is supposed to be very dry when you cut/saw into it and very hard to chew. Steak is BEEF ! Just like BEEF Jerky !  這牛排太多汁太軟了,嚼不下去。 當你切開/切開時,牛排應該會很乾,而且非常難咀嚼。 牛排是牛肉! 就像牛肉乾!

Heard at a fromagerie: this cheese is too cheesy.  在agerie聽說:這個奶酪太俗氣了。

It was terrible, the steaks were tender and full of flavor 😋, not dried out or anything like tasteless shoe leather we're accustomed to.  太可怕了,牛排鮮嫩,味道十足😋,沒有乾掉或任何像我們習慣的無味鞋皮。

I still can't believe how both this movie and its sequel were actually good films. I thought reviving the franchise as a video game would iffy, but no they made something that actually works and has comedy and action that never disappoints.

Petrified Forest National Park is an American national park located in Navajo and Apache counties in northeastern Arizona.   Named for its large deposits of petrified wood, the park covers about 346 square miles (900 km2), and includes semi-desert shrub-steppe as well as highly eroded and colorful badlands.   The park's headquarters is located about 26 miles (42 km) east of Holbrook along Interstate 40 (I-40), which parallels the South Transcon Line.   The site, the northern portion of which extends into the Painted Desert, was declared a national monument in 1906 and a national park in 1962. The park has an average elevation of about 5,400 feet (1,600 m), and has a dry, windy climate with temperatures ranging from  In the summer it is about 100°F (38°C) to winter lows well below freezing.   The park has more than 400 species of plants, dominated by grasses such as punchweed, blue grama, and sacaton.  Animals include larger animals such as pronghorn, coyotes, and lynx;  many small animals, such as deer, mice, snakes, lizards and seven species of amphibians;  And more than 200 species of birds, some of which are permanent residents and many of which are migratory.  About one-third of the park is designated wilderness—50,260 acres (79 sq mi; 203 km2)—
The Petrified Forest is famous for its fossils, especially deciduous trees that lived in the Late Triassic, about 225 million years ago.  The deposits containing the fossil trunks are part of the colorful and widespread Chinle Formation, from which the Painted Desert gets its name.  Beginning about 60 million years ago, the Colorado Plateau, of which the park is a part, was pushed upward by tectonic forces and subjected to further erosion.  All of the park's rock layers above the Chinle River, except for younger geological strata in parts of the park, have been removed by wind and water.  In addition to fossilized tree trunks, fossils found in the park included Late Triassic ferns, cycads, ginkgos, and many other plants as well as animals including giant reptiles called phytosaurs, large amphibians, and early dinosaurs.  Paleontologists have discovered and studied the park's fossils since the early 1900s.
石化森林國家公園是美國國家公園,位於亞利桑那州東北部納瓦霍和阿帕契縣。 公園以大量石化木材沉積而得名,面積約346平方英里(900平方公里),包括半沙漠灌木草原以及高度侵蝕和色彩繽紛的惡地。 該公園的總部位於霍爾布魯克以東約26英里(42公里),沿著州際公路40(I-40),與南交通線平行。 該遺址北部延伸至彩繪沙漠,1906年被宣佈為國家紀念碑,1962年被宣佈為國家公園。 該公園平均海拔約5,400英尺(1,600米),乾燥、風的氣候,溫度從夏天約100°F(38°C)到冬季低度低於冰凍。 公園有400多種植物,以打草、藍格蘭、沙卡頓等草為主。 動物包括長角、郊狼、山貓等較大的動物;許多小動物,如鹿、老鼠、蛇、蜥蜴和七種兩棲動物;還有200多種鳥類,其中有些是永久居民,其中許多是遷徙動物。 公園約三分之一是荒野—50,260英畝(79平方英里;203平方公里)—
石化森林以其化石而聞名,尤其是居住在大約2.25億年前的三疊紀晚期的落葉樹。 含有化石樹幹的沉積物是色彩繽紛且廣泛的千樂組的一部分,由此彩繪沙漠得名。 從約6000萬年前開始,科羅拉多高原,該公園是一個部分,被構築力量向上推動,並遭受進一步侵蝕。 園區上方所有岩層,除了園區部分地質層較年輕,已被風生水起水起水起水起水起水起。 除了樹幹化石外,園區內發現的化石包括晚期三疊紀蕨類植物、仙草、銀杏,以及其他許多植物,以及動物包括巨型爬蟲類,名為植物龍、大型兩棲動物和早期恐龍。 自1900年代初,古生物學家就發現並研究公園的化石。

How much yearly salary do we need to get the permanent residency? It seems impossible unless you are rich.

An APRC? Isn't it only NT$10,000 as long as you meet certain conditions like working there for five years?

correct, but one condition is you need to prove you've met a minimum amount earned in the year preceding your aprc application.  沒錯,但有一個條件是你需要證明你在 Aprc 申請前一年達到最低賺取的金額。

Oh, I didn't know that. Do you know the amount?  哦,我不知道。 你知道金額嗎?

Not the current one, but some others have commented some info about that.  不是目前的,但有些人評論了一些關於此的信息。

no, they require evidence from tax beaureau and there's minimum yearly threshold.  不,他們需要來自稅務局的證據,而且每年有最低門檻。

10k NT is the application fee, the salary requirement when I applied 7 years ago was about 600k/year.  10k NT 是申請費,7年前申請時的薪資要求大約是60萬/年。

if you are willing to become a missionary and live amongst the indigenous peoples, then in about 40 years you should be able to obtain taiwanese citizenship.    如果你願意成為傳教士,生活在原住民族之間,那麼40年左右,你應該就可以獲得台灣國籍。

4 years? Or u been drinking.

thanks but no thanks.

check the site. all the requirements are clearly stipulated. it's achievable for an average English teacher.  所有要求都清楚地規定。 對於一般英語老師來說是可以實現的。

Currently you need $633,600 in annual income on an employment ARC to qualify for an APRC but it changes each year based on minimum wage. Dependents of foreign professionals with an APRC can qualify with zero income. Spouses of citizens must show evidence that they and their spouse can support themselves but there's no formal minimum. See my post in HOW TO GET YOUR APRC IN TAIWAN from last year for details.  目前你需要在就業 ARC 的年收入 633,600 美元,才能符合 APRC 的資格,但每年會依據最低工資而改變。 擁有APRC的外國專業人士的依賴者可以取得零收入。 公民的配偶必須拿出證據表明他們和其配偶可以自食其力,但沒有正式的最低限度。 詳情請看我去年在 HOW TO GET YOUR APRC IN TAIWAN 的帖子。

This much money per this year. It changes every year. This is what they wrote on the paper and gave to me.  今年這麼多錢。 每年都會變。 這是他們在紙上寫給我的。

I have tax returns showing I make $50k ntd a month and qualified for aprc application. $50k isnt that much , its barely even $2k usd.  我有報稅顯示我每月賺5萬美元並符合 Aprc 申請資格。 5萬美元沒那麼多,甚至差不多2千美元。

congratulations.

it’s not even 2000 a month.  一個月甚至不到2000。

To be fair though, you’d have to ask, is there any benefit to Taiwan in giving poor people permanent residency?  你必須問,台灣給窮人永久居留權有什麼好處嗎?

you do encounter some genuine innovators and people who benefit the economy who started on low wages in Formosa. There's also a massive shortage of essential workers as they keep leaving the island due to being treated like s--t by their fief-like employers.
Which leads me to the crux of applying for permanent residency - don't be from South East Asia, yet another glaring example of Taiwan's backwards, racist policies.  你確實會遇到一些真正的創新者和受惠經濟的人,那些在福爾摩沙低薪開始。 基本工人也大量缺乏,因為他們被他們的雇主當作被當作s-t對待而離開島嶼。
這讓我陷入申請永久居留權的關鍵——別來自東南亞,台灣落後、種族主義政策的另一個顯眼的例子。

good point.

Birth rates. At the current rate Taiwan is becoming a superaged society like Japan. Rich people aren't going to work in essential skilled trades, or send their kids to enlist in the professional military, and you do need the numbers to fill the ranks.  出生率。 以目前的速度,台灣已經像日本一樣成為超高齡社會。 有錢人不會去從事必要技能交易,或者把孩子送去職業軍人,而你需要數字來填排。

that is a good point.

If East Asian countries do not open up, they'll run out of people to grow food and to keep the lights on in a couple of decades. I always thought SEA could supply the surplus, but the problem has even reached Thailand.  如果東亞國家不開放,幾十年後他們就會跑光人種食物,繼續開燈。 我一直以為海航局可以供應盈餘,但問題竟然傳達到泰國。

63360 by year is very low wage,just go work in any restaurants for a year,then you gonna archives that.63360 一年工資很低,只要去任何餐廳工作一年,然後你就要存檔。

it's 633600, no restaurant pays that much to the staff.  Try Ding Tai Fung.

If you earn 633,600 per year (their salary minimum requirement), you are NOT considered as "rich" in Taiwan tho.
To ge fair, No any country want to give PR to low uneducated, low income, useless foreigners.
So, Taiwan requirement is reasonable.  如果你年收633,600(他們的薪資最低要求),你在台灣就不算是「有錢人」了。
為了公平,沒有任何國家想給低沒教育、低收、沒用的外國人公關。
所以,台灣要求是合理的。

most PR holders in EU are uneducated and poor.  歐盟大多數公關持有者沒有教育和貧窮。

Canada takes them all.  legals are overeducated and at least have some $$ for relocation.

in the US you need to break the law first by coming in illegally to get a PR.  在美國,你需要先違法進來獲得公關。

it is not illegal to seek asylum.  尋求庇護並不違法。

believe it or not the US has laws governing the “legal” way of seeking asylum in the US and it is done at the port of entry. Coming in illegally is by definition illegal.  信不信由你,美國有法律治理美國尋求庇護的「合法」方式,而且它在入境港口完成。 非法進來是非法的定義。

fully agree. (If you earn 633,600 per year (their salary minimum requirement), you are NOT considered as "rich" in Taiwan tho.

To ge fair, No any country want to give PR to low uneducated, low income, useless foreigners.

So, Taiwan requirement is reasonable.)I’m curious as to what is your definition of a useless foreigner?  我很好奇你對一個沒用的外國人的定義是什麼?

Skill issue.  技能問題。

I think how much you have rather than how much you make.  我想你擁有多少而不是你賺多少。

a million is the rightful salary in the duchy! 100萬是公國的合適薪水! 

You must earn at least 56k month or youarry a taiwanese to have a residency.  月入至少要56k,或者你嫁給台灣人才有居住。

Just buy a camper van.  買露營車就好。

I did that once in Kenting
100/ day
Meant I was paying 3000/ month for rent effectively
And I was right next to the sea!  我在墾丁做過一次
100/天
意味著我有效地支付3000/月租
我就在海邊!

The 5th year of paying taxes, the income should be Doble than the minimal salary for the last year. This changes every year. Now you should be earning around 57.000 and pay 18% tax.  繳稅第五年,收入應該比過去一年最低薪水。 每年都會變化。 現在你應該賺得大約 57.000 並支付 18% 的稅。

 

 


Everyone is curious as to what he saw in her... This lady with a few extra pounds is married to one of the world's most beautiful actors.

可能是 1 人的圖像

https://natureistic.me/one-of-the-most-beautiful-actors-in-the-world/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3I5vojvxmkI-wlJaBoWgRspzT6Q6tOMyZL5mt95lMgqs55ip1RTfHL5DM_aem_AQNi61-NopVC6aHYaEYUd_ytI-1wR2VPA1wsoH_D0V9dTMnVNciRmld7BX28GyAN6vvmd_DgFGes852yl7sNGg54

 

We’re already so used to specific Hollywood romance stereotypes by now.

There are adorable young couples who happily showcase their blossoming love on social media, actors who engage in clandestine on-set relationships while facing allegations of adultery, and a mature gentleman in his sixties or seventies who openly embraces a beautiful woman half his age in a romantic relationship.

We observe these paradigms in a passive manner and embrace them as the standard instead of questioning them.

句點

It was widely expected by most onlookers that Pierce Brosnan would come in last in this particular category, just like many other professionals in his field.

Even though he met the criteria, he cleverly and confidently questioned these assumptions.

To give you some context, he is a proud father of two children with his wife Keely, and they have been happily married for two decades.

Despite their trip being filled with romance and passion, Keely has unfortunately become the target of unjustifiable and unbearable hatred lately.

Fortunately, Pierce remained steadfast. In the face of a scrutinizing audience, he boldly defended his wife, demonstrating his unwavering love and unwavering support for her. Based on his actions, we can deduce the following:

Pierce adores every single curve of his wife’s physique, regardless of what others may think.

Pierce met American journalist Keely Shaye Smith in 1994 after becoming a widower. His first wife, Cassandra Harris, had passed away from ovarian cancer on December 28, 1991.

Pierce was naturally heartbroken by her departure and uncertain about where to begin the process of healing while taking care of three children all by himself.

Keely came into his life at the perfect moment, and thanks to her support, he found the strength to embrace the challenging yet rewarding responsibilities that come with being a parent.

句點

Her friends suggested weight-loss surgery for her, but I love every curve on her body. She is the most beautiful woman to me. Plus, she’s the mother of our five children. – Pierce Brosnan.

In 2001, they got married in Pierce’s homeland and welcomed Dylan and Paris as their own sons.

They have spent a wonderful twenty years together, and their love keeps getting stronger.

A couple of days back, Pierce sent his wife a touching message for their 20th anniversary. He wrote, “Happy anniversary my dear Keely, my love for you keeps growing,” and included two photos of them taken 20 years apart, illustrating the beautiful journey of their relationship.

The couple always receives praise from the public, despite there being no reason for criticism.

Keely’s looks, especially her weight, seem to be the focus of the hostility. The general public is inexplicably surprised and repulsed.

Pierce made a mistake by marrying someone who is not a size 0 and doesn’t look like a bombshell. Why did he choose to marry an average woman who is said to be out of his league when he has so much money and influence?

His love for her disproves outdated gender stereotypes about women and attractiveness.

Many forget that gaining weight is okay and beauty standards can be challenged. You don’t need to conform to society’s ideals of being small and fitting in all the time.

As you grow older, certain things become more important than others, and you may not need external validation to feel confident and believe in yourself anymore.

Pierce has stated that he values Keely for who she is, not for how she looks.

When you commit to someone, you agree to grow with them and modify your perspective in response to their changes.

We wouldn’t have spent millennia attempting to understand the complexity of love if it were a one-time event.

In an interview, Pierce mentioned how some of their family friends had advised surgery to help his wife lose weight, but the former James Bond is unshakeable in his respect for his wife and every facet of her looks.

He adores her curves and flaws, and he could care less if some idly-minded people on the internet bemoan her appearance—a stranger’s body they have nothing to do with.

In fact, Pierce went above and beyond to express that he’s always fancied Keely for her demeanor and loving heart.

“In the past, I actually loved her for her person, not simply for her beauty, and now I’m loving her even more that she is my children’s mother, and I am extremely proud of her, and I always aim to be worthy of her love,” he stated on Hollywood Star.

In a way, Pierce shouldn’t even respond to the offensive statement, much less explain why he still wants her after 20 years.

On the other hand, seeing an older couple demonstrate their affection for one another is absolutely adorable.

Furthermore, it’s so typical for older Hollywood celebrities to get involved with attractive, young women who are about thirty years their junior that Pierce’s decision to keep with the same woman and continue their relationship comes out as bizarrely defiant.

It once again highlights the unrealistic demands placed on women’s bodies and appearance; in order to “deserve” love, women must never “let themselves go” and must always be more attractive than men. If they deviate from the norm in any way, they’re essentially giving the men permission to discard them and chase other women at will.

Pierce elevates his wife not because of her perceived beauty but rather because of the part she has played in his life.

She saved him from the depths of hopelessness and gave him the chance to grow and find his place in a world so rife with suffering and resentment. The couple’s continued strength is not surprising.

Love has no chance against criticism.

Keely and Pierce are committed to one another and don’t care what people think of them.

As you age, you come to understand that attraction and desire are created by an intellectual and emotional connection rather than by foolish ideals.

You spend time with someone not just because they physically excite you but also because they are fundamentally a part of you and you wouldn’t want to be with anyone else.

It just implies you value them for reasons other than their physical appearance and conventional ideas of beauty; it doesn’t mean there isn’t any more infatuation left in the tank.

Pierce’s devotion to Keely is proof that you shouldn’t be concerned about what other people think.

You’ll be able to achieve enduring fulfillment as long as you keep holding your partner in high regard and are prepared to put up with even the smallest “imperfections.”

These viewpoints don’t need to alter anything; they merely serve to serve as a reminder that your love is more important than these pointless discussions that shift with the tides.

 
 

PS...Everyone is not wondering what he saw in her. We are all seeing a beautiful woman!!

PS... 每個人都不想知道他在她身上看到了什麼。 我們都在看到一個漂亮的女人!!

When she married him, she was young and beautiful! They age together and still have love for each other despite the looks! It’s called love! It’s the personality that lasts,not appearance! Not everyone is that shallow! Besides, she still looks gorgeous!

嫁給他時,年輕貌美! 他們一起老去,儘管長相依舊對彼此有愛! 這叫愛! 持久的是個性,不是外貌! 不是每個人都那麼膚淺! 此外,她看起來還是很漂亮!

Totally agree ! Good for him for not being another shallow Hollywood actor. They followed their heart.

Beautiful curves.  美麗的曲線。

No. No one is wondering that. Someone who doesn’t like her started this. She was much more beautiful than him when they got married. Yes, she has gained weight like some people do with age.  不,沒人好奇。 某個不喜歡她的人開始了這個。 結婚時她比他漂亮多了。 是的,她長胖了像某些人隨著年齡一樣。

So what?

Beautiful. Woman. Talented. Wife. Mother.

She’s a beautiful Earth Goddess!   她是美麗的地球女神!

When they were first married they were both young they have aged together and they still love each other so what's the problem they both look great for there age xx  當他們剛結婚的時候,他們都年輕,他們已經一起老去了,他們仍然相愛,所以有什麼問題,他們倆看起來很棒的年齡。

She is still very beautiful and people look in the mirror yourself are you so perfect I think she's beautiful and so does he mind your own business and quit being mean.   她還是很漂亮人家自己照鏡子你這麼完美嗎我覺得她很漂亮他管你閒事不要小氣。

Le as ve her alone. He is just another human.

She is beautiful inside and out, as is her husband. Maybe it's time you look at yourself in the mirror, understand time & life changes & ages people in various ways, and check yourself for your own imperfections, such as cruelly bullying a woman you dont even know. You don't know her husband, either. They are a couple & a family. If they seem happy, why keep hounding them? Sounds like the hounders have the major problem/not them.    她內外都很美,她的丈夫也很美。 也許是時候看著鏡子裡的自己,理解時間&生活的變化&用各種方式老化人,檢視自己的不完美,比如殘忍的欺負自己根本不認識的女人。 你也不認識她的丈夫。 他們是一對夫婦和一家人。 如果他們看起來很快樂,為什麼一直追捕他們? 聽起來像獵犬有重大問題/不是他們。

I think she is Absolutely Gorgeous, Beautiful, Wonderful!

Leave her alone! He loves her just as she is! Get over it! Dang it! 停下!

She is a beautiful woman, inside and out. Give these stories a rest already.

Maybe she’s beautiful inside aswell as out.

No only you, she looks fine with me.

They love each other. ❤ Real people don't point fingers at pounds.

Robin Stephen .no you weren't scammer! May your God or gods forgive you trying to hurt others!

BLOCK & DELETE!!!

She is so beautiful 😍 and they so are happy together, its call love, thats what counts in life.

She obviously loves him as he loves her ... there's more to life than looks and I found that out the hard way ...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, beauty is more than skin deep, keep your judgment to your self, who are you to judge!!!   美在觀眾眼中,美不止皮膚深,保持對自己的判斷,你是誰來判斷!!!

She’s a beautiful woman ❤️ Gorgeous couple.

I hate these posts. She is beautiful!

She’s a beautiful gal.   她是個漂亮的女孩。

Not everyone just the shallow for cryin out loud!

Looks pretty beautiful to me.

Private life out of bonds thank you.  私人生活脫離債券,謝謝。

You can't judge the book by the cover.  你不能用封面判書。 

She is very pretty...looks sweet too!

It's love plain & simple & it's a beautiful thing & so is she.   這是愛平淡&簡單&它是一件美好的事情&她也是。

love should not change because of your body if you love somebody it's not the outside you love.   愛不應該因為你的身體而改變,如果你愛某人,那就不是你愛的外在。

She’s absolutely beautiful! 

I dislike haters. He saw a beautiful woman. There is nothing wrong with her.  我不喜歡仇恨者。 他看到了一個漂亮的女人。 她沒有錯 。

Didn't think true love is determined by someone's weight or other body issues...I despise these kind of posts. Removing you.  沒想到真愛是由某人的體重或其他身體問題決定的... 我看不起這些帖子。 移除你。

It's really no one else's business who any one else loves no matter what . Love is love and that's all that matters and it's their choice whom they love so people need to mind their own business and worry more about themselves and their relationships.
i think she looks beautiful however she want to. People are to quick to judge others, i applaud the man for sticking up for her as he has done even though he should not have to . people need to get on with their own lives especially when they are not perfect either.  真的沒人愛誰的事,不管怎樣都沒人愛。 愛是愛,這就是最重要的,這是他們所愛的人的選擇,所以人們需要多管閒事,多顧慮自己和他們的人際關係。
我覺得她想怎麼看都漂亮。 人們就是要快速評價別人,我為他鼓掌,儘管他不該做的一樣,我為她鼓掌。 人們需要好好面對自己的生活,尤其是當他們不完美的時候。

A great love they have and it's beautiful.

I think she is beautiful too.

is this the same person?    same situation.

I thought it was you. You done married Pierce Bronson.  I wish lol.  You’re beautiful hush...

He loves her and they are very Happy so let it be please.

Geesus...leave the woman alone.

I totally agree with you all too she's very beautiful probably both inside and out.

Can you imagine how hard it is for her being looked down on because of her weight? Let her be Once weight packs on it's very stubborn!  你能想像她因為體重而被瞧不起的她有多難嗎? 讓她一次重量包在它上很固執!

She is the same person he fell in love with. It’s called love not lines wrinkles or size that you fall in love with. If you are with someone for looks only I doubt you should become partners.  她是他愛上的同一個人。 這叫做愛情而不是線條皺紋或大小你愛上。 如果你和某人在一起,只是我懷疑你應該成為伴侶。

They've been married for many years & have had like 5 children together. She's still a beautiful woman, even with the "extra" pounds.  他們結婚多年,一起生了像5個孩子。 她仍然是個美女,即使有“多”的磅數。

'This lady with a few extra pounds' IS, one of the world's most beautiful people! Thank goodness her husband isn't so shallow! The people who question their partnership are the ones who will grow old, lonely! 「這位多了幾磅的女士」是世界上最美麗的人之一! 謝天謝地,她的丈夫不那麼膚淺! 質疑伴侶關係的人,是會變老、孤獨的!

Be quiet, haters.

Perfect shape lols for James Bond.

This is a Beautiful lady , why are everyone bashing her ??????

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not all men like skinny women.  美麗在觀眾的眼中。不是所有的男人都喜歡瘦女人。

Love Keely just the way she is!! Perfection!

What kind of person cares about what someone else likes? (Thinking) 🤔 💭 People who are miserable, single and have too much time on their hands…(still thinking) 🤔 💭 ohhh and wish they had someone that would love them this way…  什麼樣的人會在乎別人喜歡什麼? (思考)🤔 💭 那些可憐、單身、手上時間太多的人... (還在思考)🤔 💭 哦,希望他們有一個會這樣愛他們的人...

She’s still beautiful !!! It’s what’s inside that matters not just looks!!  她仍然很漂亮!!! 重要的是內心不僅僅是外表!!

She is beautiful they make a lovely couple.

Geogeous!

The inside is way way more important than the out. Plus, plus, her smile is infectious! Shut UP haters. Jealous much!!!  內在比外在更重要。 另外,她的笑容很有感染力! 閉嘴,仇恨者。 嫉妒!!!

Superficial much.  表面的很多。

Some people are so mean and need to mind their own business.  有些人好小氣,需要多管閒事。

tunning gorgeous fantastic… you go girl.

He’s not superficial , love is love!

I like how he crawled back into the water like “I will return!”

Such a drama queen.

drama crab.

Haha, yeah. Throwing claws and being toxic.

Villainous crab: We will meet again Finley!

He was feeling Crabby.

"This ain't the last of me!"

Yep when the sun goes down I'm gonna take a real nice swim again in your comfortable predatorless pool.

You forgot the word “adios”

來自西班牙語,就是「再見」的意思。在美國,因為有大量的拉丁裔族群,Adios這個說法變得非常流行,不只常見於影視作品中,日常生活也很常使用。

I love how the crab was ready to throw hands and then walked into the water all ashamed like “damn you’re actually really nice people… I apologize for my earlier behavior”

Imagine this method of teacheing english conversation. 

The teacher reads a short summary of the hypothetical scenario.

The student repeats what you said.

Then the teacher challenges the student to consider hypothethical answers.

Using pro and con and various arguements.

There are an unlimited number of these scenaros.

Whould that be a good way to teach conversational english?

 

The value systems in Taiwan or in China are very different. A person from China told me that hegemony is truth. Every country is intending to annex the other to expand the territory if possible. If the other refuses to comply with your requirements you can come at it with iron fists and crush it to submission. In other words you can get what you want by subduing your rivals. His words really made my hair stand at end. In Taiwan showing respect for others rights  and feelings is part and parcel of daily life.

That one of my first  Chinese sentences about love.Yup people in mainland China are very outgoing and very extroverted. Men in China will very enthusiastically approach you. Maybe people  in Taiwan might be more to themselves but that’s especially for some young people. The older men are not shy and they are very talk active.  Taiwan is very calm and small and quiet. Sometimes the places are empty and silent. Yup food in Taiwan is very sweet and salty. Not spicy. People in mainland China are also very friendly, north China is more traditional and people there are very outgoing and welcoming too and and the cities in south China is more westernized and more individualistic.

Sweet? No. Salty? Not really. Taiwanese are SUPER sensitive to any flavor. It's mostly bland food.

Main difference is that Taiwan is like a colony of US , so the white peoples normally get special treatment from the government and the local people in general. China was like that before, but not anymore.

Another food that did not quite make our list of favorite foods was this hairy meat and rice breakfast wrap 飯糰 (fàn tuán).

Pork floss. It tastes super good on bread.   I’m from Singapore. It’s super popular here as well.  

I love them on bread, too...also very popular in Vietnam, like in Bread Talk.

You like a hairy meat grandma favorite for congie.

Congee (/ˈkɒndʒiː/, derived from Tamil கஞ்சி [kaɲdʑi]) is a form of savoury rice porridge made by boiling rice in a large amount of water until the rice softens. Depending on rice-water ratio, the thickness of congee varies from a Western oatmeal porridge to a gruel.

I think some called it pork floss!  我想有人叫它豬牙線! 

Love these! Also the purple rice version, too!

Pork floss is hairy meat. 

No meat floss for me, thanks.  沒有肉牙線給我,謝謝。

Hairy meat lol!

Hairy! I like the purple rice kind and choose the filling.  喜歡紫米那種,選擇餡料。

It’s one of our favorites! Our half Taiwanese kiddos will ask to have these!  這是我們的最愛之一! 我們半個台灣小鬼會要求擁有這些!

I love this. It must have youtiao in it.

I love to it this in breakfast!!!

Oh I love it also purple rice with salty egg with pork floss.  哦,我愛它,紫米飯配咸蛋配豬牙線。

 it was a state matter. Do you want me to name the charges or something? 這是一件州事。 要不要我幫收費取名字?

The state case passed the statute of limitations and was only a misdemeanor. They had to tie it to a federal crime to get around the expired case. Trump had never been indicted on a Federal Election Crime. Don't cry about the Supremes correcting an injustice. This Kangaroo Court was/is a sham.

他們必須將它與聯邦犯罪綁在一起,才能把過期的案件上。 川普從未被起訴聯邦選舉罪行。 不要哭泣至尊者糾正不公。 這個袋鼠法院是/真是太糟糕了。

According to non-partisan legal experts, President Donald J. Trump has been subjected to a relentless and politically motivated assault on his civil liberties. Here is a list of the violations President Trump has endured during this sham trial:
Right to Due Process: President Trump was denied a fair and transparent legal process. The trial was rushed and conducted with clear bias, as the judges and jurors were predominantly appointed by Democratic administrations.
Right to a Speedy Trial: The trial has been unnecessarily prolonged, with deliberate delays tactics employed by the prosecution. This violates President Trump's right to a swift resolution, free from undue postponements.
Right to an Impartial Jury: The jury selection process was manipulated to ensure a jury that was predominantly liberal-leaning. This denied President Trump his right to be tried by a jury of his peers, representing a cross-section of society.
Right Against Self-Incrimination: President Trump was pressured and coerced into providing testimony that could potentially incriminate himself. This violates the fundamental principle that an individual cannot be compelled to testify against their own interests.
Right to Privacy: President Trump's personal and business affairs were subjected to unreasonable searches and seizures, with his financial records and private communications scrutinized without just cause. This invasion of privacy is a blatant disregard for the Fourth Amendment.
Right to Equal Protection Under the Law: President Trump has been treated differently compared to other individuals and businesses in similar situations. The application of laws and regulations has been inconsistent and biased, solely because of his political affiliation and previous position of power.
Right to Free Speech: The trial has been utilized as a platform to stifle President Trump's freedom of expression. His right to voice his opinions and criticisms, guaranteed by the First Amendment, has been systematically suppressed.
Presumption of Innocence: Throughout the trial, President Trump was portrayed as guilty until proven innocent, which is a fundamental reversal of the core principle of our justice system. He was denied the basic presumption of innocence that every American deserves.
Selective Prosecution: The decision to bring charges against President Trump was influenced by political considerations, rather than a genuine pursuit of justice. This selective prosecution is a clear abuse of power and a violation of his civil rights.
Right to Counsel: President Trump's legal team has faced unprecedented hurdles and interference, including baseless ethical complaints and personal attacks. This interference with his right to choose and effectively utilize legal representation is deeply concerning.

根據無黨派法律專家,總統唐納德·J。 川普對他的民事自由遭受了毫不留情和政治動機的侵犯。 以下是川普總統在這場審判期間承受的違規行為清單:
正當程序:川普總統被拒絕公平透明的法律程序。 審判急忙並且有明確的偏見,因為法官和陪審員主要由民主黨政府指派。
Right to a Speedy Trial:審判不必要的延長,檢方採用的刻意延遲策略。 這違反了川普總統快速決議的權利,免於不當的延後。
公正陪審團的權利:陪審團篩選過程被操縱,以確保主要是自由傾斜的陪審團。 這拒絕了特朗普總統受到他的同伴陪審團審判的權利,代表社會的交叉面。
反對自我犯罪的權利:川普總統受到壓力並強迫提供可能自我犯罪的證詞。 這違反了個人不能被迫作證違反自己的利益的基本原則。
隱私權:川普總統的個人和商業事務遭到無理的搜索和扣押,他的財務紀錄和私人溝通無故地審查。 這種侵犯隱私是公然忽視第四修正案。
法律下平等保護權:川普總統與其他類似情況的個人和企業相比,受到不同的待遇。 法律和法規的應用一直不一致和偏頗,只是因為他的政治派別和之前的權力地位。
自由言論權:審判已被利用作一個剝奪川普總統言論自由的平台。 第一修正案保障他發聲他的意見和批評的權利已經被系統性的壓制。
無罪推定:在整個審判中,川普總統被描述為有罪,直到證明為無罪,這是我們司法體系的核心原則的根本反轉。 他被拒絕了所有美國人應有的無罪推定。
選擇性檢控:對川普總統提出指控的決定是受到政治考量的影響,而不是真正的追求正義。 這種選擇性的起訴是明顯的濫權,侵犯他的民權。
顧問權:川普總統的法律團隊面臨前所未有的跨欄和干擾,包括毫無根據的倫理投訴和人身攻擊。 這種干擾他的選擇權和有效利用法律代理權的干擾,深刻關注。

this is some of the most ridiculous load of nonsense I have ever read. I could go line by line but the GLARINGLY ridiculous is right to counsel?? He has had so many attorneys and most have quit because of him or been fired. Selective prosecution?? He broke the law and then co it used to do so by running his mouth during the trial. Presumption of innocence???that is what the trial was innocent until proven guilty and he was proven guilty. Duh. Right to free speech?? he said whatever he wanted to throughout the majority of the case until what he said was invoking violence then there was a gag order placed like there are in soooo many high profile cases.
You know what that list is bunk. So much so I am done. Wherever you got it is also a ridiculous whiny baby source.

這是我讀過最荒謬的廢話的一些。 我可以排隊排隊,但那個大笑的荒謬是對的?? 他有很多律師,大多數都因為他辭職或被解雇。 選擇性起訴?? 他違反了法律,然後在審判期間用嘴巴去做。 無罪推定??? 這就是審判無辜,直到證明有罪,他才證明有罪。 嗯。言論自由權?? 他在整個大多數案件中想說什麼,直到他所說的就是引發暴力,然後就有了一個失言令,就像有這麼多高調的案件一樣。
你知道那清單是什麼。 太多了,所以我做完了。 不管你在哪裡,也是一個荒謬的嬰兒來源。

Like I said don't cry when true justice is served. Unfortunately, you don't even realize you're bias. You snowflakes sure do get triggered on facts.

就像我說的,當真正的正義被服務的時候,不要哭。 不幸的是,你甚至不知道自己是偏見的。 你的雪花確實會觸發事實。

yes I’m crying. Your whole post is you crying and I told you why you are wrong and you CHOOSE to believe lies.

是的,我在哭。 你的整篇貼文都是你哭,我告訴你你為什麼錯了,你選擇相信謊言。

True justice is being served snowflake. It’s just to your cult leader so you don’t like it.

真正的正義是雪花般的服侍。 這只是對你的邪教領袖來說,所以你不喜歡它。

You must live in a very restricted world. This is obviously right wing disinformation. A powerful lie. Informed people know which party is banning books, restricting reproductive rights of women, aligning with dictators, ignoring climate science, and electing criminals. I could go on, bigly.

你必須活在一個很受限的世界。 這顯然是右翼假信息。 一個強大的謊言。 知情人士知道哪個政黨禁書、限制婦女生殖權、與獨裁者對齊、無視氣候科學、選舉罪犯。 我可以繼續,很大。

Let's see Democrats gave Putin Crimea, US uranium, Hilliary got a fake dossier from Russia, Biden green lit Nord Stream pipeline, also gave Russia higher returns on their oil, remove Trumps oil sanctions and gave them another shot at taking Ukraine. Yeah, I'd say it's pretty easy to see who Russia got in their pocket. The only thing Trump gave Russia was sanctions, lower prices on their oil and 200 dead Russian Mercenaries.

讓我們看民主黨人給了普京克里米亞,美國氫氣,希利里從俄羅斯拿到假的數字,拜登綠色點燃了北溪管道,也給了俄羅斯的石油回報更高,解除川普石油制裁,再給了他們一針奪取烏克蘭。 是的,我想說很容易看到俄羅斯是誰在口袋裡。 川普給俄羅斯的唯一就是制裁,降低他們的石油價格和200名死亡的俄羅斯僱傭兵。

this is terrible !...it's getting you can't even pay off hookers with the money you make selling bibles anymore !...what's happened to this country ?

 I don’t care what you say.  It has Noo effect on me.  我不在乎你說什麼。  它對我沒有影響。

What I find interesting is that you immediately took offense as if she directly call YOU Karen. But what other justification do you have for your "Sheniqua" comment, unquestionably meant for her....I mean, other than blatant racism? I'll wait.

我覺得有趣的是,你立刻冒犯,好像她直接叫你凱倫一樣。 但你對你的「Sheniqua」評論有什麼其他理由呢,毫無疑問的對她來說意義...... 我的意思是,除了明目張膽的種族主義? 我等。

Please include the mainstream media.  請包含主流媒體。

So this is really symbolic and maybe some are getting the entire message. I'm gonna dig into this because the artist wanted to portray a specific meaning. It's suggesting that business owned platforms are silencing freedoms and that the true Republicans (what maga calls rhinos) are holding back our justice system. 🤔 Doesn't a businesses have the right to set forth guidelines and I don't think it's true Republicans, that are holding back our justice systems. I think the maga movement is projecting.

所以這真的很有象徵意義,也許有些人正在收到整個訊息。 我要深入瞭解這個,因為藝術家想要描繪特定的意義。 這是表明企業擁有的平台正在沉默自由,真正的共和黨人(maga所謂的犀牛)在阻礙我們的司法體系。 企業難道沒有權制定指引,我不認為那是真正的共和黨人,阻礙我們的司法制度。 我覺得maga運動正在投射。

I wish more true Republicans would fight back against the maga movement most definitely. 我希望更多真正的共和黨人最肯定地反擊馬術運動。

Hot and humid, hellish even.  甚至地獄般

Brutal.  殘暴。

Beautiful, if yah like living in a steam laundry!!  如果你喜歡住在蒸氣洗衣店裡!!

Hot and humid. Not enjoyable.

Or, how far back do you want to go?  好吧... 這就是你選擇定義的方式。 我休息了我的箱子。

Typhoon.

Horrible, but outside of Taipei is just a little less horrible.  但台北以外就是少了一點可怕。

Absolutely the worst month to visit. Hot, muggy, humid and rainy.  炎熱,麻吉,潮濕多雨。

Inferno. Humid air, heavy breaths, and surprise typhoons. Welcome to summer in Taiwan.  沉重的呼吸。

That sounds like an album title.  聽起來像專輯標題。

Hot, just like your wife.

i'm gay but thanks!

okay, then just like your husband.

someone has to be top and someone bottom.

hot and most importantly humid!!!!

yall making me scared.

you should be.

it’s nice if you like high temperatures, like I do.

Even the locals don't like the weather. So just do what they do:
* Stay out of the sun as much as possible. Walk in the shade, or use an UV-blocking umbrella.
* Your daybag should contain at least 1 small towel or washcloth to mop yourself off.
* Drugstores sell "cooling sprays" from Japan and Korea. Very popular during the summer.
* A cold drink is an essential accessory. This is why there are convenience stores, drink stands and tea shops every 5 meters (at most!) in Taiwan. Buy one of those drink-holders too - it'll be easier.
* If it really gets too hot, go hide inside a department store where they blast the AC. The basements of department stores also have food courts so you can get a snack...and a cold drink.

Thunderstorms everyday usually at noon/afternoon due to the heat.  由於高溫影響,通常是中午/午後雷陣雨。

Good weather to stay indoors under the AC, then only go out at night for street food.  天氣好係室內AC下,然後只係夜晚出街食。

And beer.

Hot , you need to master your breathing.  你需要掌握呼吸。

Find it on Google.  Hot, it’s always hot in Taiwan!  not different from Manila.  Because of Global Warming it will snow all month.  Hot hot hot. And humid.

Can they refund your ticket?  他們可以退票嗎?

Come naked..and just bring your umbrella.  (be naked in the lake.)

Tolerable weather here is about from 20 December to 10 January.  這裡的天氣大約從12月20日到1月10日。

You know that roast chicken in the grocery store rotisserie. It's like that. lol你知道雜貨店裡的烤雞。 就像那樣哈。rotisserie(尤指烤雞的)旋轉烤肉架;烤肉館,烤肉鋪。

Great for morning river tracing / swimming in the rivers. It's really hot, but sunny most mornings. Just have to shelter from the afternoon thunderstorms. But yeah, it can be well over 35C in the city and humid. Not a good time for city life. Nice for water sports.

很適合晨間溯溪/河中游泳。 天氣真的很熱,但大多數早晨陽光普照。 只好避午後雷陣雨。 但是的,在城市中可以超過35C,而且潮濕。 不是城市生活的好時機。 很適合水上活動。

24-32 degrees Celsius, cloudy to rain occasionally. If you need to rent a car, van or bus you can contact me. Thanks.  攝氏24-32度,偶爾多雲到下雨。

Rainy months.  Would love to know August as well.  Hottttttt and Humiddddd.... Welcome to the sauna.  It's bloody hot...... Like hot chick.  熱死了...... 像辣妹。Cold.  horrible hot.

.The hottest and most humid place I've been ... Taipei is in a basin so all the heat and humidity gets trapped here. Like even Indonesians and Thai think it is too hot and they live in the equator.. only comparable with Dubai in August.. July and August might be the worst time to visit Taiwan. You will be sweaty and sticky after 5 min walking and the risk of thyphoons is also high.

我去過最熱最潮濕的地方... 台北在一個盆地,所以所有的高溫和濕度都被困在這裡。 就像印尼人和泰國人都覺得太熱了,他們住在赤道裡.. 只有在八月的迪拜可以比擬.. 七八月可能是訪問台灣的最糟糕的時候。 走路5分鐘就會滿身大汗黏的,颱風的風險也很高。

Ahh and don't be fooled by Google temperature.. they will say it is 27-35.. what they don't talk about is the real feel... Because of the humidity Is like 34 real feel 45.

啊,不要被谷歌溫度騙了.. 他們會說這是27-35.. 他們不談的是真正的感覺... 因為濕度像34 真正的感覺45。

Like HELL.  Taking the pants off hot n humid.  Had 3 panic attacks last July because it was too humid.  how about in february?

the weather is better, there may be days that you can even wear a jacket, i think from november to february (a little of march) is good if you like cold weather.

天氣好一點,可能有幾天甚至可以穿外套,我覺得從11月到2月(有點行軍)喜歡冷冷的天氣就好。

Weather where?

Go canyoning or into the mountains.  what's canyoning?

check us at Taiwan's Heaven.

Very hot summer.  You get used to it, don’t even need aircon yet. North hot and humid,

South - scorching.  38 deg.

It depends where you want to go and what you want to do.  取決於你想去哪裡,想做什麼

you'll like it if you like 24hr sauna.  如果你喜歡24小時桑拿,你會喜歡。

hot and humid.

Taipei is revolting all year round. Horrible weather and stuck up,snobby people........Kaohsiung... however has much more down to earth people. The weather is very hot and rather humid before or after a down pour.Prices are not as expensive as Taipei !

Any place under taipei, hualien, taoyuan. Its going to be hot.

Taipei is its own thing, usually very unstable rain, hot, sunny, cold crazy. Outside of taipei usually less rain but as everybody said probably hot and humid.

Hot, humid, muggy and buggy.

Hot and humid ASF..  horrible hot.

Hot as balls my guy.

Avoid that month at all cost.

During the day is sunny, and hot but humid, afternoon sometimes we have rains, sometimes cloud sky but still hot, but at night sometimes is cold and sometimes is hot.
And still humid.

The weather is like a horror show at that time. Have you ever lived in the desert?

It's so hot, the sun can burn the coal naturally!

 

HOT AND HUMID!!  Humidity and hot.  Do not.. I feel cold already now.  Epic. 史詩。

HOT AS HELL, WITH LOVELY HIGH HUMIDITY. ENJOY Rrrr

HOT. Showering twice a day.

August is also unbearable.

Imagine yourself in the oven that’s about it.

I was there for the whole month of July back in 1993. It was quite unbearable! I felt like I was in a hot yoga class 24 hours a day!

1993 年,我整個 7 月都在那裡。 真是令人難以忍受! 我覺得自己24小時在熱瑜伽課!

If Taipei, yup, you are right. It's a basin so you lived almost in a steamer essentially. Not the same everywhere in this island though. South, flat, widely open .... It's cooler easily. A harbor. Sunny, warm, and breezy in most cases in my city ....

Very hot and uncomfortable.

Same here.. were going by group to taiwan.. what date you going?

July is generally hot in Taiwan but still nice for a trip.

Hot and wet and sticky and a lot of gay on street like me.

Uh f*ck that's means I'm gonna cancel my trip to Taiwan in July having learnt July it's a hot and humid weather. alright guys what is the best visiting month to Taiwan?

呃,他媽的,這意味著,我要取消七月去台灣的旅行,學會了七月是個炎熱潮濕的天氣。 好吧,大家來台灣最好的訪問月是什麼?

Turkish Sauna.

You couldn't pay me to go to Taiwan in July .... Last time I went back in July was 1995 and that scarred me for life.

Search on google will help you to get a proper answer.

much better than in January.

Around 35C.  hell on earth.  人間地獄。

Get a thick jacket …for indoors.  拿一件厚外套... 室內用。

I visited last year in late june/july and yep..it was not snowing…lol…Hot with a capital H !  yep..it 沒有下雪... 哈哈... 和首都H熱!

Don’t visit Taiwan in July .

Hot as ballz. Get ready to take 3 showers a day.  熱得像球一樣。 準備好一天下3次陣雨。

years sure thanks guys

 

 

I'm happy to see Emma Watson stand against inflation in UK.

Honestly... I clicked on this video just because of that. I had to see if the thumbnail was accurate.

I came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed the resemblance lol. Was surprised that nobody else was posting about it. I had to do a bit of scrolling before I found this comment.

If you think a sperm equal to a fetus, you're the one who didn't pay attention in science class. A fetus has half of its nucleus DNA from the mother's egg and half from the father's sperm, BUT its mDNA (mitochondrial DNA) is only from the mother, while the father's mDNA got destroyed. So if we're talking about just the genetic materials, it's the mother who contributed more to the child than the father. And let's not forget it's the mother who had to bear the hardship of pregnancy, the weight, the risk to health, the risk of death from complications, the pain from delivery, the nutrient depletion. While all the father's contribution is some hip winging and a sperm.

That's what I was thinking.

Worse in US-eff brandon.

It's not Emma, she is the mother & I'm the father. Sorry for keeping it out of public for too long guys.

 

I think the UK has found its next Prime Minister.

 

That girl is more British than Britain itself.

 

Brit girl: "9 QUID!"
Every American 🇺🇲: "What's a Quid in American?"

 

When preteens starts to notice & complain about prices you know the world is out of control with food prices.

 

You know the cost of living is a disgrace when a 9 year old knows it.

與你交際應酬已經沒有實質意義

尤其是已出社會在工作上謀生

無利可圖感覺漸行漸遠

漸漸的就不在連繫了

就像“ 斷,捨,離“

已呈現出無意義的社交模式

或者兩人之間發生矛盾了

或者傷害了對方的尊嚴了

那就自然而然斷了連繫

既沒翻臉也不必有意見相左

人與人之間不就是互相利用嗎 . . . 

人來到這個世界不就是來“ 觀光遊歷的 “

人生路上一路相見一路再見或再也不見

互相尊重  (有來有往)

兩相情願  (各取所需)

要是幾次已讀不回那就尊重吧

您有權偶有錢(賴功德versus黃仁勳)

聊天畫虎蘭都好

當對方不在與你連繫 (可割可棄)

說明您已經沒有他利用的價值

社經地位比他較高一點他嫉妒

比他低一點他看不起你

職業職務金錢名聲房子車子

比你高一點他就會看不起你

比他高一點他又嫉妒氣憤恨

地位高了看不起斷了連繫

地位低了也不必再連繫了

同學間關係容易相處

經濟收入

文化程度

家庭世界觀

三觀認知

文化知識

才能交流 (物以類聚 人以群分)

馬雲會跟誰聊

偶在internet可以賺多少

你是那根“ 蒜“ 誰理你 . . . 

跟網友聊一是感興趣

二昰兩相情願  (各取所需)共同需要

錢為什麼“ 難賺“

人為什麼“ 難相處“

人心難預料

社會光明面與黑暗面

同行相忌 (同行冤家)

多數心胸狹窄見不得人好

便斷了連繫

不犯他人利益

背後不議論他人

大家合得來

來者是客歡迎

話不投機半句多

慢走不送


人一生中,我相信絕對會有幾個摯友(但一定是個位數,甚至一、兩個)。其他一些同學、師長、同事、上司、下屬、社團活動的,多數一定都是過客~

先顧好自己(或自己家人),自己行得正、坐得直,願意過來找我有交情的一定歡迎,想離開的我祝福。這種灑脫是真的不用看人臉色影響自己心情。

年紀越大就會越覺得到最後人都是一個人, 學會孤獨自在舒心也是一件好事,所以大多數人都是孤獨終老的, 雖然中間難免會覺得孤獨寂寞, 但與其去遷就別人讓自己不自在, 畢竟要找到真心互相付出的機率微乎其微,不如學會樂在享受一個人

不是朋友沒有利用價值就不再聯繫,主要是沒有共同的話題,或是沒有生活的交集,興趣愛好,就算在一起也不知要聊什麼,如果強行聯繫還要找話題才能聊,那幹嘛這麼累啊,久了乾脆就不聯絡了。

California sea lion hops into UCLA rowers' boat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85q2ACfjweI
getting rid of the fees
passengers had to pay anywhere
from 69 to $119 to try and
change or cancel their flight.
A UCLA rowing crew got quite
a surprise when a sea lion pup
hopped into one of the rowers
boats. Logan Hibbard tells us
that she and her teammates were
practicing in Marina del Rey
when that sea lion jumped out of
the water and into her boat. Her
teammates took these photos
while she did her best to remain
calm.

Hello everyone! I have a favor to ask. My boyfriend and I met in Australia, but he recently went back to Taiwan and his family wants him to stay there. I am Vietnamese and don't know any Mandarin. Currently, I am settled in Australia and work as an accountant. My boyfriend has convinced me to move to Taiwan, marry him, and settle down there. However, I am not sure if I want to leave Australia as I really like it here, but my boyfriend doesn't like living in Australia. I am concerned if I can find a job as an accountant in Taiwan and if it's easy for me to stay there without speaking Mandarin.
Thank for reading my post.
 
Hi, Cindy. To be honest with you, it's rarely possible to work as an accountant without speaking any Mandarin in Taiwan. I would highly recommend you to rethink about your relationship with your boyfriend since you both have totally different blueprints for the future. It's not only about the job, it's about everything you have owned in Australia so far. There will be huge sacrifices on your site and I am not sure if you are ready for it. Anyway wish you all the best.
i agree.
The power of LOVE should be above from these materialistic things. I observed in my experience mostly females End their relationships and hurt them just because of money and so called temporary things. In my opinion get married and start life where you both want to do. Do not END relationship just due to Taiwan or Austrailia. May God bless you both.
Nope. Mature people know that love is not enough to have a healthy relationship. You need more than that.
Ridiculous! It is not about money. It is all the life aspects she has to leave behind.
Ofcourse but only Money and materialistic approach also NOT eough without Love. You can buy good house, car, clothing and styles with Money but NEVER EVER can buy True feelings with Money.
Other aspects can be adopted and adjusted if she TRUELY Love with him.
love is not indestructible. Love doesn't fix everything. Sadly, we don't live in a romantic comedy where love prevails always. Resentment can kill the most powerful love. I've been there.
It's important to marry for love but it's also important to be realistic about what you are willing to sacrifice. Sometimes it could be the right person but at the wrong time.
What you said only in TV melodramas. Unrealistic at all.
childish as hell.
love cuts both ways. Why can’t the boyfriend make a commitment to her and their future by loosening himself from his mother’s apron strings. STAY IN AUSTRALIA. Love doesn’t pay the bills.
No. It's mindset that you make that is in TV, if you want to live with Love then you ACCEPT every challeng.
Yes that I agree, boy friend should compromise too.
you are living in a fairy tale with comments like that. Welcome to the 21st century my friend.
and you are living in world of FAKE Image come to the Life that has also part after death.
Material as fire.
Agreed but here have to think CAREFULLY that instead of losing right person we should prefer to lose materialistic things which you can buy and recover at any time.
your response has nothing to do with anything which has been discussed on this entire post. Suggest you check the direction on your compass.
your mental health and lack of inclusiveness in society have nothing to do with material possessions. You are so off base it’s painful to read.
Sure you don't steer and rush yourself to the cliff as you said the power of love.
you are suggesting that the girl should make all the sacrifices. Pathetic!
Interesting advice! The point is to start life where you “BOTH” want to do, didn’t you read the problem from her message?
Your comment is Vague does not make sense. Just pouring out your mindset on temporary fake worldly things over Humanly relationships.
No. Where I said that? Pathetic is your mind that judging without understanding whole theme.
You are so narrow minded and does not have courage to understand.
I have moved around the world and married into another culture. Have been to 50+ countries. My wife and myself are not so narrow minded to think love is a singular solution to replace everything as happiness comes not only from marriage, but also personal growth. You sir, are a genuine fool.
Then you should encourage them by giving mature opinion instead of hitting me. You are fool if after having 50 plus countries exposure saying this immature statement.
I encourage them to be realistic. You encourage them to put their head in the sand.
No. I gave them Genuine picture if you really want to live with soemeone then climbing in sand also does not matter.
I think you have some language limitations. You have not fully understood multiple comments now.
I did not say this. I just said to get a job or get a Love the choice should be Love NOT job. Because job she can find anywhere but True Love NEVER again.
Now you started on Language lols. In conclusion my point is (jobs can be searching one after another) but a True Love NEVER can be returned.
it’s not true love if you force all the hardship on one person. You’ve completely missed the point. Enjoy your fairytale.
Where I said one person only will do? But the fairytale has reality that can affect next generations which you do not want to think. Enjoy your materialistic view.
that is the premise of this entire post! You went off on a tangent about true love and are so far away from the situation which is being described in the post. Nothing that I have written is materialistic. Peace of mind, living in a culture which you can function in, and having a chance to have career are not materialistic! In what alternate universe do you live?
I think we should close discussion on this that here I am not to proof you wrong. It's just a difference of opinion. However, mostly people earn money, enjoy and they think this money and current joyable moments would remain forever while reality is opposite. Living with LOVING person is much important than the preference of living on Land of your comfort. I have many examples where people enjoy and have luxury life but they do NOT have peace of mind and they are desperate to seek honest partner. That is what I meant. Have a nice weekend and I am sorry if you did mind anything in my views.
I think you are debating the wrong forum. The original poster’s situation is very different to what you describe. One person is requesting the other to give up everything for love while they remain in their comfort zone. That is why your comments do not apply in the scope of this post. It is clear what you are saying, you are just saying it in the wrong post.
You do not have right to call me wrong or keep insisting to show the illogical behavior. I clearly closed discussion with you so no need of further argument. You do not have sense to understand of this post. TC.
 
100%!!!!
the same I think.
this!
Total agree with you.
agreed. Life is easier as an immigrant in Australia.
totally agreed. There’s a lot of vacancy for accountant but u need to speak Mandarin. I spent more than 2 years to learn it and still can’t really master it when I went for university, and it will be another level for working.
agree ..100%
My president is an idiot and China is looking to take advantage of his weakness. You may be walking into a war if China attacks the Philippines as a diversion then attacks Taiwan. More likely, be ready to receive him as a refugee.
It’s clear your boyfriend made his choice to be with his mother.
 
Stay Australia!
Taiwan is friendly to foreigners but not friendly for the foreigners who want to stay in Taiwan, all infrastructure and major daily activities aren’t international prepared, even for opening an bank account took us more than 5weeks, no foreign credit card can be accepted for the major online purchasing (ie Momo mall), we couldn’t collect our registered mail at the Post offices due to no stamp (印章), these are only a few issues you will face in Taiwan. Most importantly, you will have no any support social network here. You will be totally isolated, so my dear friend, wake up and be more realistic about this relocation. All the best.
 
What you said is so true and that’s why here I feed back to you …
It’s like you still try to move what you felt comfortable in DAIWAN yourself after how long you’ve been living here already that I do not know and no intention to …
but my advise is why carry such a task tho. what made you feel it’s worthy living in DAIWAN if you don’t ever try to fit in… with suffering it is not reasonable to live here at all.
 
Totally agree with you. For spending time with my elderly Daiwan mother, Im trying my best to resolve all obstacles daily, and really hoping things can be more flexible for foreigners.
 
I have been an alien for in South Africa America Japan even that post Manchu invaded district and I did find the best way to live is fitting in or simply stay away as a foreigner forever if you think you are … but I did find myself a local in SA and US now … but never in the other two … because you just can’t …
 
it is taiwan!! Not daiwan. loll
 
Taiwanese tone I guess.
 
one facto for me is I never fit myself in my birth country DAIWAN with the AutoBike and humidity since the day I arrived in I guess very tragically living for me honestly speaking.
same here, so try LG dehumidifier, it makes my life easier, hahah
hey our DaiDong also does well tho.
I thought they only do rice cooker.
publicity is never as good as the S. Koreans to us
oh, btw may I … does A Wave of Close Proximity to Relativity mean anything to you?
 
I know foreigners, Indians teaching in Taiwan and they are very happy. I wouldn’t be so sceptical.
ACAUSIN only not even the French logically speaking.
what?
it’s AmericaCanadaAussieUKSouthAfricaIrlandNewZealand
or are we talking about teaching Dutch or German here ?
go and get checked.
yes go.
 
you’re not the first and won’t be the last to ask him that.
he is probably troll. Poor guy being not needed in life.
I think he’s quite serious about being some kind of “living Lord”
 
Fully agree.
 
there is thousands. 🇻🇳 Vietnam people s working in Taiwan!!and they are very close communities!I open my bank easily in Taiwan! Moreover why you don’t have friends in Taiwan you can make friends easily too if you want!!but yes I won’t give up my comfort for any man tho!
 
Red flag alert: his family wants him to stay in Taiwan. What does he want to do? For you? Stay away from the person who does what his family wants him to do instead of what he wants to do for you.
 
Hi Cindy. Finding work as an accountant without speaking Mandarin will be very challenging. Perhaps you could work remotely from Taiwan for Australian or other English-speaking firms?
that's true.
I agree with.
You. Cultural difference is something you need to seriously consider before making decision for relocating to Taiwan. Love alone may not be enough. Additionally, what is your boyfriend's family background? Are you expected to stay with them after getting married? Is he expected to take over family business?
D. Liao from NYC.
That is an excellent idea. After COVID I did most of my accounting work through the computer and rarely need to meet up with anyone other than cleaning up and closing our office.
However I did toy with the idea of moving to Taiwan but have no idea how accounting works over there. I do speak basic Mandarin....Very basic.
I heard people just need to take the tax form given to them by employers to the Government tax office and they do the calculation for you for free?
sorry we do speak Ho*Lo*h but not mandarin in DAIWAN.
 
a genius idea, I vote for it.
 
Don’t do it I did it before! Married a local and moved there. His family always came first and my needs dead last. Every weekend was spent with the family. Also, you’d make a lot of money as an accountant in Hong Kong vs Taiwan. In Taiwan, only English teachers make good money. And, I found (some) Taiwanese racist to other Asians if they’re not from Japan or Korea. Love is not enough. A relationship needs more than that to thrive.
True, some Taiwanese do have discriminated against other Asians, especially Southeast Asians like Vietnamese, Thailand, and Indonesian.
Priscilla, I’m considering teaching English in Taiwan or Japan. Have been living in London for 16 years. Would you recommend or not? I’m really on my big crossroad and done kind of with western world.
Unfortunately if your birth country is not a native English speaking country, you won’t be able to get a legal job at most places in Taiwan. I knew a guy who was Swedish, spoke perfect English, better grammar than natives, but he always had to work under the table because of his passport. Which also means less pay. I’d rather suggest finding a job in your field in Hong Kong.
that’s not true. I was offered a proper legal job as a teacher in Taiwan. I’m entitled to British passport anyway.
I know one Indian girl that teaches English in Taichung. My friend teaches in Thailand. How do you explain this?
I don’t. That’s what my Swedish friend told me. He only has a Swedish passport, not British or any other English speaking country. Thailand and Taiwan are also different countries. How would I know what’s going on in Thailand? I never lived there. If you can find a legal job with a passport that’s not from an English speaking country, I am glad for you. I would not know about that. I’m from South Africa which can legally work in Taiwan as an English teacher.
i said my Indian friend teaches in Taiwan without British passport. What does passport matter if you are not native? You still can get legal job as a teacher in Taiwan. It’s not true you can’t.
Well, then go for it! I’m just reporting what I heard. No need to be so aggressive.
In India English is one of the countries national languages . So according to Taiwan's rules if you are from India you qualify to teach in Taiwan .
 
Yeah, you’re gonna be poor. You’ll probably make 1/5 of what you make so unless your boyfriend is a top percentage, I would not leave.
Life is pretty good in Taiwan though, seems like, base level wise.
yeah if you you don’t mind working working 100 hours a week and being extremely underpaid. Life is good here other than the fact that you’re a slave to your job.
are you really sure.
obviously I’m exaggerating on the hundred hours a week.
very obviously you have been but it’s true pay need to be as much as what they got in Aussie this I totally agree since the country is richer than Aussie now.
 
To establish a career anywhere, first of all we need to master the language ! Mandarin is not easy to learn . Well you can learn to speak but to write is a different story ! Unless you find a job at an international accounting firm where they speak English , I doubt you would be happy there in Taiwan . Love fades; reality sinks in … But if you are young , you can try . At least you try and do not regret . Let’s say if things do not work out, you still can move back to Australia for a new beginning.
Think carefully , make wise decision and good luck to you.
that's true.
yeah Tiffany, this isn’t true because the majority of the people in the United States don’t even speak English and they make far more than the top earners in Taiwan. This is mostly without education or even basic English.
I mean a professional career but not a labor job . And you can not compare the living standard between USA and Taiwan as people make more in US but they pay more for rent , food , insurance coverages and cost of living in US is much higher than in Taiwan.
actually it really isn’t maybe food and rent are a little lower but everything else is the same price
 
if you marry and have children you might not be able to leave with your children. Continue the relationship long distance and think really carefully about what you are prepared to do.
 
1. You don't speak Mandarin it's is an impossible hurdle.
2. You bf's family is more important to him then you.
3. If he loves you enough Australia is an easy place to like. He doesn't love you enough.
4. If you still move to Taiwan odds on you will be living with his family. God help you. You will be treated as a free maid.
Find someone else.
#4 for sure.

I am in Australia ( Melbourne) now and planning to move to Taiwan. So I understand the differences of both worlds. I am planning to retire there but never to work in Taiwan. I have worked in Australia and I am from Hong Kong. Even I ( could speak mandarin) would not consider working in Taiwan. Mainly bcoz of the wage difference and work environment. I think one feasible option could be working from home in Australia while u live in Taiwan. That way you'll earn Australian wage and spend money in Taipei, that would be heaven. You can live a foreigner friendly life in Taipei as an expat but that way, you'll be spending not much less than you're in Australia. However, that would be causing much conflict with your relationship with your boyfriend because of the lifestyle difference.
I think you shall test yourself like go there on your annual leave for 1 month and experience living with your bf as a local and re-consider.
If he as a man, who doesn't want to move to Australia bcoz of you how can he expect u give up everything and move there with him? You obviously have to sacrifice more financially to relocate to Taiwan. It's not talking little income, it's 4-5 times for the same position. And since u have no local experience, it's almost impossible for u to start as senior post.
He on the other hand can come to Australia and work if u guys are committed and you both work hard for life and save up enough to buy a house back in Taiwan. This is a more realistic idea. Many Taiwanese people chose that, live and work in Australia and retire in Taiwan.
All the best to you and your partner.
 
As a Taiwanese, most definitely stay in Australia. Taiwan is great for visit but you'll be losing much more than you will gain.
 
As a female, i have a different perspective particularly when different citizenships/nationalities, benefits, and moving for someone, and job security are involved.
Going to a country where you don’t speak the language nor have your own social network is already hard. Uprooting for someone that you’re not yet married to, or have met the person’s parents, seen their social network and how they are in their normal environment can create friction especially when things don’t work out.
Job aside, are you ready to commit (and take this risk) when he hasn’t proposed?
 
your correct if the family does not yet offer their 300% supports no matter where which country NEVER jump in troubles for yourself unless this person is 3000% the Savior to you.
 
Take a 1-2 week vacation in Taiwan. Many of the questions and concerns will be answered.
 
Adapting to Taiwan without speaking Mandarin would take time and effort. Certainly you would have to learn Mandarin, which would require a couple of years to become conversant. The plus side is that Taiwan is very friendly. People are accommodating, hospitable, and helpful. But as Linda Chen said above, I doubt you could get a job without speaking Mandarin. Sounds like your boyfriend is being pressured by his family. Good luck.
 
Learn Mandarin!
 
Don’t move here for love unless he is super rich to support you in every way in Taiwan.
 
Nooo! Stay in your happy place ,never follow a man! Taiwan is no place for anyone who does not know how to read , speak and write mandarin. This is based on my personal, horrible current situation. Good luck, follow your gut and not your heart.
 
definitely just like Japan or France … it’s good for those who have no heart to respect our national pride of culture leave happily as early as possible… no need to suffer no need to waste or try … if you dun want to be one of us then your always an outsider … and simply would be feeling low and down to frustrate yourself why bother when you could live more comfortable in your own country tho., … reasonably speaking.
 
great then ! So are you considering to move to France without speaking French or Japan without speaking Japanese oh btw in DAIWAN we actually speak the oldest living human national language of Ho*Lo*h we don’t speak Mandarin.
 
Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you're wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn't love you anymore.

His family wants him to stay there, then his family will want you to marry in a family. Then his family will want you eat boring Taiwanese food every day. Than God knows what? Who cares what they want. Who cares what your bf wants. Obv you want Australia. As a foreigner I always find the hardest to deal with very local people, who push their ideas to me. Go for a visit, check the vibe. But talking about marriage without you actually being in Taiwan for holidays and meeting his folks firstly is a red flag. How old are you, how old is bf ?
 
Douglas Wendel
I am an older person. I have been married twice. Once for 10 years and now for 28 years. I grew up in different countries in Asia from the time I was 4 until I was 18. This includes living in Taiwan for 3 years. Both Australia and Taiwan are wonderful countries and the people in both countries are great also. However, I feel that your moving to Taiwan would put you in a difficult position. You would make less money and thus be in a disadvantage in the marriage. I am sorry to say this but there is an invisible kind of power struggle in marriages, especially around money. Also, you will not have any of your friends to support you when you have a ruff day. You will be totally reliant on your future spouse and his family. His family probably doesn't want him to marry a foreigner and that is why they are pushing him so hard to move back to Taiwan. Since I have never met you or your boyfriend and you have never met me don't put too much weight on my comments. One thing I would do before you say yes to being married to someone is to meet that person's family first. Perhaps you could take some vacation time and visit him and his family in Taiwan to get a feel for what you might be getting into there if you do decide to commit to moving there for good and marrying him. Don't say yes while you are visiting Taiwan. Wait until you get back in Australia and have time to think about your visit there and what you learn about him and his family and what your future might look like if you did move there for good. Marriage is nothing to rush into. If you are a spiritual person and have a god to pray to ask him or her for guidance. Also, maybe there is wise person of your faith you could talk to who you feel might give you good advice and find out what they have to say.
if you go to Taiwan everyone may be on their very best behaviour trying to sell her the lifestyle. Wise words to wait until you're at home before making any commitments.
 
Don't you ever dare to leave Australia.
 
Let your boyfriend take care of you..why are you worried about getting a job..if he really loves you he will take care of you..just chill in Taiwan.
 
Without speaking mandarin u stand no chance.
 
Run some risk assessment.
A probable worst case scenario. A couple of years later, you've broken up with the guy, in large part due to the constant interference from his parents. You have zero savings, your Mandarin still sucks, career prospects in Taiwan are limited to ESL at buxiban, the visa is running out, you're looking to return to Australia and realize that now you have to compete with two more years' worth of fresh candidates for the same job you had before. It's an uphill battle.
Best case scenario. Two years later, you're still together, you're part of the family, the parents are a most angelic elderly Taiwanese couple from Instagram (lol). You speak near-perfect Mandarin, and are about to land a well-paying accounting position at a major firm in Taipei.
Which one sounds more likely?
A workable middle-way. Share the risks with the guy. Keep your job in Australia. Visit Taiwan at least twice, a short visit, and a longer stay (try the hottest and the coldest times of the year). Let the guy bring over the parents to Australia, let them see it, feel if they could live there with the son if something happens to Taiwan. We live in an unpredictable world.
Life has shown that some situations can go all the way up or all the way down. It's called "strategic inflection point". Aggressive risk takers deliberately seek such situations and exploit them. Cautious people toe the waters first.
Realistically, she might not even get ESL jobs and will have to run a Vietnamese restaurant or nail salon. Even with an Australian passport (if she has one), many schools will still reject her.
I like the risk assessment modelling but worst case scanario I'm is she has children, the relationship breaks down and he and his family prevent her from returning to Australia to live with the children for the next 15 years!
There's no children yet, so nothing to worry about )) but yeah I'd suggest the OP looks into the world of the ROC child custody laws and especially the legal practice. It seems things have changed a lot since 1996.
 
If you love him hold onto that. That’s the most important thing. If not then do what is best for you.
 
Taiwan is one of my favourite countries to visit , but you can be lost without speaking Mandarin, because hardly any people speak English . I have been 5 times over last decade and it’s still the same . I would recommend you visit there on vacation and stay for a few weeks there first . And then decide . It’s not a good idea to make such a big decision without weighing your options . Love alone cannot make it all last . Also once you go you will understand the reality for your boyfriend.
 
You posted the exact same thing hours ago…
Stay in somewhere you have a happy life, get a new boyfriend.
Strongly recommend you don’t give up Australia for Taiwan , don’t do that just for love. You will be regret , Taiwan is not that good.
From the stand point of practicality, "accountant" profession in Taiwan doesn't hold the same status as in Australia / Uk / US etc. Without being able to speak mandarin, your job selection will be limited (popular choices will be teaching English in cramming schools / private tutor) but bear in mind, Taiwanese tend to look down on nationalities from other pacific rim countries (ie. Indonesia / Philippine / Vietnam / Thailand).
I was born in Taiwan and raised in the UK, came back to Taiwan about 6 years ago. My observation of Taiwanese men / boys is.... There is a lot of them couldn't handle the pressure, because living expenses is relatively cheap in Taiwan, hence they can afford to do minimal work and choose to live at home with parents. So, once you are here in Taiwan, it's no longer just 2 persons, you have family dynamics to contend with.
I'm sure there are many FB discussion groups for Vietnam / Thai people who work in Taiwan, perhaps join them and you can find out more about the cultures / people in Taiwan.
Hope this helps.
In these foreign groups, we often expound on the virtues of Taiwan. You often hear about its beauty, safety, friendly people, etc. Yet, this post is overwhelmingly negative in regard to her moving here??
Is it not even worth a try? An adventure? A year or two?
Plus, this might be her Mr Right. Just sayin’
Dunno.🤷🏽‍♂️ interesting responses. Seems Taiwan has fallen a bit in people’s general estimation, compared to a few years ago…
Visiting versus living versus marrying are three different experiences
Stay in Australia and find a new boyfriend.
EXACTLAMONT !! 
the best advice so far...
 
Please look into the rights of parental custody in Taiwan as a foreigner. That is a far more delicate issue than work, though finding a similarly paid job would have a low probability. The heartache of family relations and the issues with deciding your future children's fate are far more crucial and problematic.
Im married to a taiwanese man,im a filipina,honestly speaking its not easy of course,you need to consider lots of things,as far my experience is concern,im happy working with taiwanese:) learning their language,culture,even their mood:) its case to case basis:) for me it works and for others also:) Taiwan will be consider bilingual country on 2030:)
Goodluck:)
Bilingual by 2030 is a goal that is impossible to achieve.   2030 年雙語是無法實現的目標。
,for other people maybe yes,but for me as a foreigner in Taiwan its possible,2030 or more its ok,especially now,lots of native speaker are welcome to teach in taiwan:) actually even my co filipinos:)
 
Honestly speaking. Taiwan is safe country to live. However, one might not find it easy going if you fail to speak mandarin at the workplace. Also, in my understanding, knowledge of Mandarin is must,for example if you want to climb the ladder at the workplace. Also, one must speak mandarin at several occasions to make life easier for them and other. For a woman, in present scenario, financial independence is important. Sacrifices and adjustments must be made from both sides. However, follow your heart. So you won’t regret later.
 
Don't stay with a guy who puts what his family wants before what you want. You are not his priority.
 
You’ve got a tough decision, only you can make it, however, unless you got a job offer in advance before coming to Taiwan and not speaking mandarin will make your life a bit difficult in that sense, just something to think about, but if you don’t mind and love is at it’s peak, give it a try!!!!!!
 
I wouldn't give up my career or what I've established in Australia for a guy. Who knows if you'll end up marrying him? I suggest you rethink it over.
 
Stay where you are. If he really loves you, he'll find a way to be with you.
 
I am a Taiwanese.I suggest you stay in Australia.Because the salary is lower than Australia.And the Certificate is different.
 
Hi, Cindy. I got to said that, if you decided to settle down in Taiwan, you must deal with thousands of problems. Such as your boyfriend's family, the language problems, wedding issues, job concern and even the culture shock. So, I suggested that you come to Taiwan if your love to this man is strong enough to fight against all the problems above, to give up the life you appreciate, and to recovered from the damage since the marriage is not guarantee to be 100% succeed. Anyway, think not only twice when you are the only one who is devoted to the relationship. Best luck.
 
1- Don’t ever sacrifice your career for a man who can’t provide you source of income and housing.
2- Taiwan is not an internationalised country - everything is very local.
3- Many Taiwanese try to move to western countries including Australia.
4- if you like Australia, don’t leave it. You won’t find as good jobs with same pay, as good apartment with same quality and price.
 
By chance, I have many Vietnamese friends around me. It's not easy for them to find a stable job in Taiwan. Let alone finding a job, the process itself is quite challenging... Let me try to analyze it for you!
First, upon arriving in Taiwan, you must initially study Chinese at a language school, such as the Mandarin Training Center at National Taiwan Normal University. During this period, due to visa restrictions, you can only engage in part-time work with limited hours. Then, you need to learn Chinese to the extent that you can read several books in Chinese before taking the Certified Public Accountant exam. After obtaining the certification, you still can't leave Taiwan for a long time due to your residency status. This process involves a lot of economic and other pressures…
Moreover, to obtain residency in Taiwan, you have to renounce your original nationality, which means giving up your Vietnamese or Australian identity.
Setting these issues aside, Taiwan is beautiful. It's convenient to go anywhere, the cost of living is not high compared to other countries, and the safety is much better than in other countries. Taiwan is also very technologically advanced and convenient. Transportation is efficient, the internet is fast, online shopping is super quick, and the efficiency of administrative departments is high.
The advantage of Australia is that life is very chill, with a slow pace of life, high wages, and a good living environment. However, compared to Taiwan, the safety and efficiency of administrative services are not as good, life is not as convenient, and the cost of living and taxes are higher.
Australia is a great place to continue staying, but as for Taiwan, it depends on whether you like it. If you aren't too keen on living in Taiwan, I recommend discussing it thoroughly with your partner and parting on good terms if needed. Choosing to reside long-term in another country is a significant challenge, and If you find yourself in a dilemma, it's advisable to give up the option that poses more problems.
 
he needs to grow a pair of balls and make the best decisions for his bride to be, not live where his family chooses!
 
Let’s put this in perspective:
1) Your boyfriend is not willing to live where you are comfortable. That’s a recipe for misery. I speak from experience.
2) What company would want to hire you to work in Taiwan as an accountant if you can’t speak the local language?
3) Even if you do learn Mandarin, unless you are an English teacher, you are always competing against local Taiwanese who are willing to work for much longer hours and less pay than what you are used to.
The romance will go away quickly once you face these realities…
 
my wife and i are asian- australians living in taiwan... we are even raising our kids here. we arent native mandarin speakers. she is viet-australian like you (also a nguyen).. there are a number of reasons we chose here instead of oz for now.. have you considered working online as an aussie accountant??. get oz income but live in taiwan.
 
that is a great idea. She should try upwork. Plenty of Taiwanese have businesses in Australia. She can build clientele from Australia in her spare time.
 
To be honest, I m a Vietnamese and work as an accountant in Taiwan, even you work for an international or foreigner company in Taiwan, it’s still necessary to know Chinese, I would say quite well, every invoice, bill, documents or communication, notification with tax bureau, insurance bureau, banks and audit company have to be in Chinese, tax report system in Chinese, since they won’t speak English because of you can’t speak Chinese. In addition, how do you communicate with your manager, other colleagues in your department and other departments if you can’t speak and read Chinese ??
Another point is to be an accountant in Taiwan most of companies would consider that if have you ever learned Taiwanese tax law?? Some other related business laws? It’s quite important in Taiwan, do the companies accept the diploma and education of accounting systems tax law you already knew in Australia? Bid gap different between?? I
suggest that you should consider your relationship due to your own future plan, but if you really consider to move to Taiwan with him to work maybe you can review working as sales, purchasing, sales assistant positions which are not that many requirements and barriers to enter like an accountant job.
 
There is a rather large Vietnamese community in Taiwan and there are government classes there to learn Mandarin. Personally, I loved living in Taiwan and enjoyed learning Mandarin.
 
We’ll meaning, but you might have missed a point. Not sure about her connections with Vietnamese language and culture, but Cindy is obviously an English speaking person, like an Australian, American or English.
 
Solution option:your bf marry me, and you work for me.  解決方案選項:你的男友嫁給我,你為我工作。
are you serious.
 
The moment you ask to other this question you already made up your mind and you are just looking for someone to give you courage to put your decision in place! Stay in Australia!! If you have yo think about means you are not ready to change your current life, if he is not ready to sacrifice something for your relationship, he is not committed! This is as easy as it comes.
 
I worry for your happiness. I would dig your heels in. I don't know if it's your future plan but you are maybe at and age where you might have children soon. Where would you rather be - in an unknown land where you can't speak the language navigating being with a mother in law of a very different culture, or at home with your existing support network. If you have children in Taiwan you would have a hard time bringing them to Australia if things didn't work out. Becoming a mum if youve had a successful career is enough of an adjustment. Look up Hague convention on the legal aspect of a family from countries. I'm not sure Taiwan is a part of it. Sounds like your boyfriend is putting his relationship with his family before the relationship with you. And that may continue. On another note Taiwan accountancy is very complex and sometimes archaic. Think wax seals and rubber stamps! Take care but think of yourself in this instance what is likely to bring you long term happiness.
 
I don’t recommend it. And there are 400k Vietnamese in Taiwan, you can ask your fellow countrymen for your concern。
 
LOVE vs FUTURE(CAREER/JOB). It's a tough decision.
 
I don’t think you stay in Australia with speaking Vietnamese .its a same thing , If you wanna stay in Taiwan , you need to learn mandarin there.
well said!!!!
 
The comments are pretty bad, as if talking about a business transaction. Love isn't primarily about convenience. He did express a desire to get married so he isn't just leading you on, demanding you to take sacrifices with you keeping fingers crossed that it will turn into a serious commitment. It's uderstandable he'd keep his family's wishes in mind, people are much more community based here and value familial ties, doesn't mean he cares more about them than you. Best of luck.
 
best comment of the day.
 
Easy solution. Love vs money. Go for the adventure!
 
Taiwan is not good for you please dont come.
Please remain financial independent.
 
Australia has a better work/life Balance.
 
As a Vietnamese living 2 years in Taiwan till now, you can find some jobs without Chinese, but mainly in Taipei. Other cities also have but quite limited and also might not be same major. If you are not living in Taipei, then you should learn Chinese, so your life is much more easier. But expenses in Taipei is another level compare to the rest. Btw, have you visited Taiwan before?
 
Try to apply for Deloitte、PwC、KPMG、EY, they are the top 4 CPA company.
 
If he loves you, he will let you..
Work in Wa/ then live in Taiwan.. the style of life for me is better here than WA. Cheaper!!
 
Stay in Australia. Period!
留在澳大利亞。 句號!
 
You can work remotely. My CPA does.
 
If you could work in Taiwan remotely while earning Australian or US salary you can live comfortably without ANY problems. However if you're gonna just relocate to Taiwan with your boyfriend and trying to fit in there without much Mandarin, and case in point, being Vietnamese, it's going to be difficult. Also you can't teach English because you're Vietnamese and NOT Australian, the case would be different if you hold an Australian passport though.
 
It is hard to find work locally without Mandarin and Chinese writing skills. If you want to work without Mandarin skills, you have to try for a foreign company in Taiwan. That then becomes very competitive requiring special skills. Look online for job postings and try applying before moving to Taiwan.
 
Nah stay where you are Cindy. Your bf knows nothing.
 
Follow what your heart says, stay where ever you're convenient. Anyways you'll never know what life will bring you. As an Asian it is a big privilege already to work in AU, so if I were you I'll stay.
 
See if you can find a job first. Living there will be the easy part.
 
There are many accounts already in Taiwan, if your boy friend can afford your life many years in Taiwan then maybe ok,however, if not then why come here and you still have to work to support yourself while you have a decent job in Australia already? You may ask your bf how does he support your life here? In short, money is important in everywhere for a living!
 
You and i both. I fell in love with a Taiwanese. I was already established in North America but now I'm uprooting myself..
 
If I were you I would stay in Australia not leaving for any uncertainty.
 
IF you can find an international accountants's firm ( or working from home/ remotely), no problem.
But suggest you start to learn Mandarin and Taiwanese (if his families speak or other languages) to communicate with the elders.
Btw, if you like Australia and your boyfriend doesn't.
You two might have bigger gap than you think.
 
I agree with what Vivian Lin said. I don't think you should move to Taiwan. I love all the faults that Taiwan has. I have family-in-laws there. I feel like the island means more to certain people and the relationships they have. At least go visit for a few weeks and see how it goes. What city in Taiwan?
 
What's the favor to ask?   有什麼好問?
bank account number!!   銀行帳戶號碼!!
 
Nope Taiwan is very discriminate country in your case if you go I guarantee that your life will only get worse. It’s good for travel but never good for work and live especially you don’t speak mandarin.
 
Stay in Australia and have a new bf.
 
If you have a solid relationship, then why not go to Taiwan for few weeks and find out if you like his family, friends, and the environment??! Can he support you with his income, if you are unemployed?! If he doesn’t want to support you when you make a huge sacrifice, then I would think twice before going there.
 
Without Mandarin it will be tough, Australia is probably a better option long term.
 
Working in a corporate job in taiwan nope! Especially u are foreigner no chinese skills at all you will end up as their clown!
 
Some of these points have been covered by others already so will just provide a brief summary:
I worked in Taiwan 2015-2018 for an international company (on international contracts) and almost everything involved communication in English (inc. the work done by our accounting and finance teams did require some Mandarin in some cases, but even there English-only roles existed).
Living day-to-day in Taiwan has its challenges but I would not describe them as extremely tough; once you figure out everything in the first month or so you should be fine. Taiwanese people are mostly friendly.
I now work for a different company (for their Australian branch) and am located in Melbourne. For this company everything is home-based - I do not go into the office. We have a branch in Taipei as well. I was going to relocate to the Taipei branch for personal reasons but nothing was going to change for me: the work would stay the same and it would be all in English. Well, nothing but the salary! Someone here suggested staying employed by the Australian branch while working in Taiwan because of the salary difference - that would indeed be nice but my company does not allow that for variety of reasons. Max I could do is 3 months in Taiwan while employed by the Australian branch. Even if I could there would be double taxation issues and other headaches.
So, I would need to switch to the Taipei branch (even though I do not need to go into the office). Lower salary etc. but sometimes you can't have everything in life.
Btw, I agree with some comments made here re the purpose: I think you would ultimately find a way in Taiwan but do you want to risk things for this person? I don't know, if I were in love with someone who was in Australia, living in Australia would hardly seem like a great sacrifice. I was going to move to Taiwan - and though I like the country there would be some sacrifices as mentioned above... but this is because that person has all her family there while my parents have passed away and the rest of my family is scattered across the globe (no one in Australia at the moment). From that perspective I thought it was right that it would be me who did the moving. Anyway, this is no longer current for me but hopefully gives you some perspective.
All the best with your choices!
 
FIND SOMEONE ELSE!
Convince your boyfriend to Australia instead.  反而說服你的男朋友去澳大利亞
Don't leave Australia!
 
I left my working carrier in the start here in Brazil to live my love family dreams.. work a lot with my husband between USA and Italy....We left anything. The only good things are my kids. Today I'm a widowed with a widowed retirement frozen until my retirent age. Un the moment just more 4 years survive to care my children. They continue until 18. In the middle odf marriage I discordo that his love was fake, by the start, just to use me. Nothing italian womanl or american liked usei like me. Fortunally I have my mother and her house. I' m her only child. Well..this my experience. Anyone have yours...Is difficult avise you...my big love are my children, my life's sense. Nothing can see the future. Only God.
 
Remain job independent
Remain financial independent
Find a country with high level social benefits.
Then immigrant.
 
Again ? You got 200 replies in your other posts . How many times do you need to be told it’s a bad idea ? 🙄 and who likes their own post ? So weird.
 
Average salary is half than Australia. It’s very hard to make good salary as foreigner in Taiwan unless u have special skill needed job. But it’s fun live in Taipei, easy access transportation , many food variety , very clean, people nice. They very welcome foreigners here. As Asians will fit good in here. They are many Vietnamese living in Taiwan . I would do it if yr spouse making good income.for last, alot of earthquake here.
 
For your work, it will not be easy if you don't speak Chinese.   為了你的工作,如果你不會說中文,就不容易了。
Thank You ❤️ I Love You 💰 Ding-Ding !
 
So many negative comments. Unbelievable. However I know many successful foreign couples. I was recently for a wedding in Japan to French guy and Japanese girl. They are happy and have children.
 
The wages in Australia is much higher than Taiwan.
Without mandarin background, you won’t be an accountant in Taiwan.
Taiwan government accounting rules and local business practice is different from other countries.
Language barrier will keep you away from precessional jobs and salary level is too low.
Unless your boyfriend is able to take care of you and your future kids, he might have a car and an apartment to help you settle down?
I went back from Sydney to Taipei to work in carriers, APL, CMA,Hamburg Sid and Maersk.
Global company salary is high in Taiwan but still low in comparison with my Australian classmates who work in Sydney.
The best way is to work for an Australian or Vietnamese global company which allow you to stay in different countries to work for them in Taiwan.
Your boyfriend might be able to get a good job in Taiwan but your career is also important.
All the best!
 
Stay in Australia, break up with him, end story.
 
Better for you to stay in Australia ,you have a stable job there and you like to live there.Its for him to move on ,if he really love you so he will stay with you ,,,,if not ,,,,you see not only one man alone this world maybe you can find one later on.
 
don't leave ur work in Australia, if your boyfriend truly loves u then he should unite with you in Australia..
Stay in Australia...
 
hardly!
 
My honest opinion: You’re better off staying in Australia if you like it there. Please don’t give up your life and career for anyone.
 
I also suggest you to stay in Australia.
 
Nooo! Girl be smart about it. Ring first, sit down seriously and plan about the future, and Have him look around for a suitable job for you. You can work for an American company. Who says you can only be an accountant? You have other soft skills you can use to your advantage. Open up a tutoring school. Don’t just move without a serious plan, and he needs to sit with you and plan.
 
I think it needs to be clear where both of you will live in Taiwan. If you will live in Taipei or Kaohsiung, you may have a better chance. Other than those 2 cities, probably not a good idea. If you can find a remote accounting job, that will be even better~
 
get a divorce.  離婚

Red flag alert: his family wants him to stay in Taiwan.
What does he want to do?
For you?
Stay away from the person who does what his family wants him to do instead of what he wants to do for you.
紅旗警報:他的家人希望他留在台灣。 他想做什麼? 給你? 遠離那個做家人希望他做的事的人,而不是他想為你做的事。
 
Stay where you are. If he really loves you, he'll find a way to be with you.
 
If he loves you, he will let you..
Work in Wa/ then live in Taiwan.. the style of life for me is better here than WA. Cheaper!!
如果他愛你,他會讓你..
在Wa工作/然後在台灣生活.. 對我來說,生活風格比WA好。 更便宜!!
I wouldn't give up my career or what I've established in Australia for a guy. Who knows if you'll end up marrying him? I suggest you rethink it over.
我不會為了一個男人放棄我的職業生涯或我在澳大利亞建立的。 誰知道你會不會嫁給他? 我建議你重新思考一下。
get a divorce.
From the stand point of practicality, "accountant" profession in Taiwan doesn't hold the same status as in Australia / Uk / US etc. Without being able to speak mandarin, your job selection will be limited (popular choices will be teaching English in cramming schools / private tutor) but bear in mind, Taiwanese tend to look down on nationalities from other pacific rim countries (ie. Indonesia / Philippine / Vietnam / Thailand).
I was born in Taiwan and raised in the UK, came back to Taiwan about 6 years ago. My observation of Taiwanese men / boys is.... There is a lot of them couldn't handle the pressure, because living expenses is relatively cheap in Taiwan, hence they can afford to do minimal work and choose to live at home with parents. So, once you are here in Taiwan, it's no longer just 2 persons, you have family dynamics to contend with.
I'm sure there are many FB discussion groups for Vietnam / Thai people who work in Taiwan, perhaps join them and you can find out more about the cultures / people in Taiwan.
Hope this helps.
從務實的立場來看,台灣的「會計師」專業並不像澳洲/英國/美國等地位一樣。 沒有會說普通話,選擇工作將有限(熱門選擇會在cramming schools / 私人家教英文)但要記住,台灣人往往看不起其他太平洋邊界國家的國籍(即)。 印尼/菲律賓/越南/泰國)。
我出生在台灣,長在英國,約6年前回來台灣。 我對台灣男/男生的觀察是.... 有很多人無法應付壓力,因為生活費在台灣相對便宜,所以他們負擔得起最小的工作,選擇和父母在家生活。 所以,一旦你來到台灣,不再只有2個人,你有家族動態可以爭奪。
我確定有很多FB討論群,對於在台灣工作的越南/泰國人民,或許加入他們,你可以瞭解更多關於台灣的文化/人民。
希望有幫助。
Honestly speaking. Taiwan is safe country to live. However, one might not find it easy going if you fail to speak mandarin at the workplace. Also, in my understanding, knowledge of Mandarin is must,for example if you want to climb the ladder at the workplace. Also, one must speak mandarin at several occasions to make life easier for them and other. For a woman, in present scenario, financial independence is important. Sacrifices and adjustments must be made from both sides. However, follow your heart. So you won’t regret later.
老實說。 台灣是安全的國家生活。 不過,如果你在職場上不說普通話,可能不會覺得很容易。 另外,在我的理解上,對於普通話的知識是必須的,例如你想在職場上爬梯。 此外,幾個場合都要講普通話,讓他們和其他生活更容易。 對一個女人來說,現在的情況來說,經濟獨立很重要。 犧牲和調整必須從雙方做出。 然而,要遵循你的心。 所以你以後不會後悔。

我把工作的載體留在巴西這裡,實踐我愛的家庭夢想。 和我的丈夫在美國和意大利之間工作很多.... 我們留下了任何東西。 唯一好的事情就是我的孩子。 今天我是寡婦退休凍到退休年齡。 現在只剩下4年來照顧我的孩子。 一直到18歲。 在婚姻中,我不和諧,他的愛是假的,一開始,只是為了利用我。 意大利女人或美國人沒有像我一樣喜歡usei。 幸好我有我的母親和她的房子。 我是她唯一的孩子。 嗯... 這是我的經歷。 任何人都有你的... 你很難... 我的大愛是我的孩子,我的生活感悟。 沒有什麼可以看到未來。 只有上帝。
Don’t do it😬 I did it before! Married a local and moved there. His family always came first and my needs dead last. Every weekend was spent with the family. Also, you’d make a lot of money as an accountant in Hong Kong vs Taiwan. In Taiwan, only English teachers make good money. And, I found (some) Taiwanese racist to other Asians if they’re not from Japan or Korea. Love is not enough. A relationship needs more than that to thrive.
不要這樣做😬 我以前做過! 嫁了當地人並搬到那裡。 他的家人總是第一位,我的需要最後死亡。 每個週末都是和家人一起度過。 此外,作為香港對台灣的會計師,你會賺很多錢。 在台灣,只有英文老師好賺。 而且,我發現(一些)台灣人對其他亞洲人的種族歧視,如果他們不是來自日本或韓國。 愛不夠。 一段感情不止如此才能茁壯成長。
True, some Taiwanese do have discriminated against other Asians, especially Southeast Asians like Vietnamese, Thailand, and Indonesian.
真的,有些台灣人確實有歧視其他亞洲人,尤其是越南人、泰國、印尼人等東南亞人。
 
Aneta Kocisova Priscilla, I’m considering teaching English in Taiwan or Japan. Have been living in London for 16 years. Would you recommend or not? I’m really on my big crossroad and done kind of with western world.
Priscilla,我考慮在台灣或日本教英文。 在倫敦生活了16年。 你會推薦還是不推薦? 我真的在我的大十字路上,和西方世界做了種種。
 
Aneta Kocisova Unfortunately if your birth country is not a native English speaking country, you won’t be able to get a legal job at most places in Taiwan. I knew a guy who was Swedish, spoke perfect English, better grammar than natives, but he always had to work under the table because of his passport. Which also means less pay. I’d rather suggest finding a job in your field in Hong Kong.
很遺憾,如果你的出生國家不是英語母語國家,你在台灣最多地方都找不到合法工作。 我認識一個傢伙是瑞典人,英文講得完美,文法比當地人好,但因為護照,他總是要在桌子底下工作。 這也意味著少薪水。 我寧願建議在香港找份工作。
 
Priscilla van Rooyen that’s not true. I was offered a proper legal job as a teacher in Taiwan. I’m entitled to British passport anyway.
I know one Indian girl that teaches English in Taichung. My friend teaches in Thailand. How do you explain this?
@TAG那不是真的。 我在台灣被提供了一份正確的法律工作。 反正我有權使用英國護照。
我認識一位在台中教英文的印度女孩。 我的朋友在泰國教書。 你怎麼解釋這個?
 
Aneta Kocisova I don’t. That’s what my Swedish friend told me. He only has a Swedish passport, not British or any other English speaking country. Thailand and Taiwan are also different countries. How would I know what’s going on in Thailand? I never lived there. If you can find a legal job with a passport that’s not from an English speaking country, I am glad for you. I would not know about that. I’m from South Africa which can legally work in Taiwan as an English teacher.
Aneta Kocisova 我不知道。 這就是我的瑞典朋友告訴我的。 他只有瑞典護照,沒有英國人或其他英語國家。 泰國和台灣也是不同的國家。 我怎麼會知道泰國發生了什麼事? 我從來沒有住過。 如果你能找到一份不是英語國家的護照的合法工作,我為你感到高興。 我不知道。 我來自南非,可以合法在台灣擔任英語老師。
 
Priscilla van Rooyen I said my Indian friend teaches in Taiwan without British passport. What does passport matter if you are not native? You still can get legal job as a teacher in Taiwan. It’s not true you can’t.
Priscilla van Rooyen 我說印度朋友在台灣教書沒有英國護照。 如果你不是本地人,護照有什麼關係? 在台灣仍然可以得到法律工作。 不是真的你不能。
 
Aneta Kocisova Well, then go for it! I’m just reporting what I heard. No need to be so aggressive.
Aneta Kocisova 那就加油吧! 我只是在報告我聽到的。 不用這麼逼人。
 
John Dillon
Aneta Kocisova In India English is one of the countries national languages . So according to Taiwan's rules if you are from India you qualify to teach in Taiwan .
印度英語是國家語言之一。 所以按照台灣的規定,如果你來自印度,你有資格來台灣任教。
 
Lian Yuyun
Priscilla van Rooyen 妳很正確!
 
By chance, I have many Vietnamese friends around me. It's not easy for them to find a stable job in Taiwan. Let alone finding a job, the process itself is quite challenging... Let me try to analyze it for you!
First, upon arriving in Taiwan, you must initially study Chinese at a language school, such as the Mandarin Training Center at National Taiwan Normal University. During this period, due to visa restrictions, you can only engage in part-time work with limited hours. Then, you need to learn Chinese to the extent that you can read several books in Chinese before taking the Certified Public Accountant exam. After obtaining the certification, you still can't leave Taiwan for a long time due to your residency status. This process involves a lot of economic and other pressures…
Moreover, to obtain residency in Taiwan, you have to renounce your original nationality, which means giving up your Vietnamese or Australian identity.
Setting these issues aside, Taiwan is beautiful. It's convenient to go anywhere, the cost of living is not high compared to other countries, and the safety is much better than in other countries. Taiwan is also very technologically advanced and convenient. Transportation is efficient, the internet is fast, online shopping is super quick, and the efficiency of administrative departments is high.
The advantage of Australia is that life is very chill, with a slow pace of life, high wages, and a good living environment. However, compared to Taiwan, the safety and efficiency of administrative services are not as good, life is not as convenient, and the cost of living and taxes are higher.
Australia is a great place to continue staying, but as for Taiwan, it depends on whether you like it. If you aren't too keen on living in Taiwan, I recommend discussing it thoroughly with your partner and parting on good terms if needed. Choosing to reside long-term in another country is a significant challenge, and If you find yourself in a dilemma, it's advisable to give up the option that poses more problems.
偶然,我身邊有很多越南朋友。 在台灣要找到一份穩定的工作,真是不容易。 更別說找工作了,過程本身就相當挑戰... 讓我試著為你分析一下!
首先,抵達台灣後,要初步到國立臺灣師範大學國語培訓中心等語言學校學習中文。 這段期間,由於簽證限制,只能在有限的時間內從事兼職。 然後要學中文到可以讀好幾本中文的程度,才參加會計師認證考試。 取得認證後,仍因居住身份無法離開台灣。 這個過程涉及了很多經濟和其他壓力...
而且,要取得台灣居住權,就要放棄原本的國籍,也就是放棄越南人或澳洲人身份。
把這些問題擺一邊,台灣很美。 去哪都方便,生活成本比其他國家不高,安全性也比其他國家好太多了。 台灣也很科技先進方便。 交通效率高,網路快速,網購超快,行政部門效率高。
澳洲的好處就是生活很chill,生活步調慢,薪資高,生活環境良好。 但相較於台灣,行政服務的安全效率不如,生活便利不如,生活費用也較高。
澳大利亞是個可以繼續住宿的好地方,但至於台灣,就看你喜不喜歡。 如果你不太熱衷於生活在台灣,建議你與伴侶徹底討論,有需要的話,就好好的離別。 選擇長期居住在另一個國家是重大挑戰,如果你發現自己陷入兩難,建議放棄帶來更多問題的選項。
 
Stay in somewhere you have a happy life, get a new boyfriend.
待在生活愉快的地方,交個新男朋友。
 
Run some risk assessment.
A probable worst case scenario. A couple of years later, you've broken up with the guy, in large part due to the constant interference from his parents. You have zero savings, your Mandarin still sucks, career prospects in Taiwan are limited to ESL at buxiban, the visa is running out, you're looking to return to Australia and realize that now you have to compete with two more years' worth of fresh candidates for the same job you had before. It's an uphill battle.
Best case scenario. Two years later, you're still together, you're part of the family, the parents are a most angelic elderly Taiwanese couple from Instagram (lol). You speak near-perfect Mandarin, and are about to land a well-paying accounting position at a major firm in Taipei.
Which one sounds more likely?
A workable middle-way. Share the risks with the guy. Keep your job in Australia. Visit Taiwan at least twice, a short visit, and a longer stay (try the hottest and the coldest times of the year). Let the guy bring over the parents to Australia, let them see it, feel if they could live there with the son if something happens to Taiwan. We live in an unpredictable world.
Life has shown that some situations can go all the way up or all the way down. It's called "strategic inflection point". Aggressive risk takers deliberately seek such situations and exploit them. Cautious people toe the waters first.
進行一些風險評估。
可能是最糟糕的情況。 幾年後,你已經和這傢伙分手了,很大一部分是因為父母不斷的干擾。 你零存款,國語還是糟透了,台灣的職涯前景只限在buxiban的ESL,簽證用完了,你正在想回澳洲,意識到現在你要再跟兩年價值的新鮮人選競爭同一份工作 之前有過。 這是一場上坡戰役。
最好的案例。 兩年後,你們仍在一起,你們是家裡的一份子,父母是Instagram 最天使的台灣老夫婦(lol)。 你講得近乎完美的國語,即將在台北市某大事務所登陸高薪的會計職位。
哪個聽起來比較有可能?
可行的中途。 與這傢伙分享風險。 保持你的工作在澳大利亞。 至少造訪台灣兩次,短暫造訪,停留時間較長(嘗試一年中最熱最冷的時候)。 讓這傢伙把父母帶來澳洲,讓他們看看,感受一下如果台灣出事,他們能不能跟兒子一起生活。 我們生活在一個無法預料的世界。
生活表現出,有些情況可以一路向上或一路向下。 它叫做「戰略拐點」。 攻擊性的風險承擔者故意尋求這種情況並剝削。 謹慎的人先到水域。
 
Jenny A Roo
Yuri Vinokurov Realistically, she might not even get ESL jobs and will have to run a Vietnamese restaurant or nail salon. Even with an Australian passport (if she has one), many schools will still reject her.
現實上,她可能連ESL的工作都找不到,還要經營越南餐廳或美甲沙龍。 即使擁有澳大利亞護照(如果她有),很多學校仍然會拒絕她。
 
I like the risk assessment modelling but worst case scanario I'm is she has children, the relationship breaks down and he and his family prevent her from returning to Australia to live with the children for the next 15 years!
我喜歡風險評估模型,但最糟糕的情況,我是她有了孩子,關係破裂,他和他的家人阻止她回澳大利亞與孩子們一起生活在未來 15 年!
 
There's no children yet, so nothing to worry about )) but yeah I'd suggest the OP looks into the world of the ROC child custody laws and especially the legal practice. It seems things have changed a lot since 1996.
所以沒什麼好擔心的))但是的,我建議OP看看中華民國兒童監護權法的世界,尤其是法律實務。 從1996年以來,似乎改變了很多。
 
Im married to a taiwanese man,im a filipina,honestly speaking its not easy of course,you need to consider lots of things,as far my experience is concern,im happy working with taiwanese:) learning their language,culture,even their mood:) its case to case basis:) for me it works and for others also:) Taiwan will be consider bilingual country on 2030:)

我嫁給了一個台灣人,他是菲賓人,老實說,當然不容易,你需要考慮很多事情,目前我的經驗是關心的,我很樂意與台灣人一起工作:)學習他們的語言,文化,甚至他們的心情:)它對我來說:)它可以工作,對其他人來說:)台灣將會是 考慮2030年雙語國家:)
祝你好運:)
Bilingual by 2030 is a goal that is impossible to achieve.
,for other people maybe yes,but for me as a foreigner in Taiwan its possible,2030 or more its ok,especially now,lots of native speaker are welcome to teach in taiwan:) actually even my co filipinos:)
,對其他人來說也許是的,但對我這個外國人來說,2030年或更多,尤其是現在,歡迎很多母語人來台灣教學:)其實甚至是我的菲律賓人:)
 
Please look into the rights of parental custody in Taiwan as a foreigner. That is a far more delicate issue than work, though finding a similarly paid job would have a low probability. The heartache of family relations and the issues with deciding your future children's fate are far more crucial and problematic.
請以外國人身份看看台灣家長監護權的權利。 這是一個比工作更細膩的問題,儘管找到同樣的薪資工作可能性很低。 家庭關係的心酸,以及決定未來子女命運的問題,遠遠更關鍵和問題。
 
I don’t recommend it. And there are 400k Vietnamese in Taiwan, you can ask your fellow countrymen for your concern。
You can work remotely. My CPA does.
Strongly recommend you don’t give up Australia for Taiwan , don’t do that just for love. You will be regret , Taiwan is not that good.
強烈建議你不要為了台灣放棄澳洲,不要為了愛而這樣做。 你會遺憾的,台灣沒那麼好。
 
hardly!
 
Unless you are willing to switch a career and work as an English teacher here .
 
I am a Taiwanese.I suggest you stay in Australia.Because the salary is lower than Australia.And the Certificate is different.
 
Stay in Australia.
 
 
my wife and i are asian- australians living in taiwan... we are even raising our kids here. we arent native mandarin speakers. she is viet-australian like you (also a nguyen).. there are a number of reasons we chose here instead of oz for now.. have you considered working online as an aussie accountant??. get oz income but live in taiwan.
我的妻子和我是住在台灣的亞洲澳洲人... 我們甚至在這裡養孩子。 我們不是普通話的母語人。 她像你一樣是越澳大利亞人(也是Nguyen).. 目前我們選擇這裡而不是Oz的原因有很多.. 你有沒有考慮過在線當澳洲會計師?? 得到oz的收入,但生活在台灣。
 
Rachel Dreyer
Matthew Angelo Alberto that is a great idea. She should try upwork. Plenty of Taiwanese have businesses in Australia. She can build clientele from Australia in her spare time.
這是個好主意。 她應該嘗試工作。 很多台灣人在澳大利亞有企業。 她可以在閒暇之餘建立來自澳大利亞的客戶。
 
Easy solution. Love vs money. Go for the adventure!
 
I don't think it gonna work. You need a job to blend into the society and you have to pick up mandarin very quickly. Many foreign can learn it in 1-2 years. Maybe you can try too. After all, it is an extra skill set for you. BTW, learning Mandarin in Taiwan will be much easier and everyone would be happy to teach you. Good luck.
我認為它不管用。 你需要一份融入社會的工作,而且你要很快地拿起普通話。 很多國外可以在1-2年內學會。 也許你也可以試試。 畢竟是給你多了一項技能。 BTW,在台灣學普通話會容易很多,大家都很樂意教你。 祝你好運。
 
My honest opinion: You’re better off staying in Australia if you like it there. Please don’t give up your life and career for anyone.
我誠實的看法:如果你喜歡那裡,你最好留在澳大利亞。 請不要為任何人放棄你的生活和事業。
 
Nope Taiwan is very discriminate country in your case if you go I guarantee that your life will only get worse. It’s good for travel but never good for work and live especially you don’t speak mandarin.
不,台灣是很歧視的國家,如果你去,我保證你生活只會越來越糟。 這適合旅行,但對工作和生活從來沒有好處,尤其是你不會說普通話。
 
Stay there in Australia for God sake.
看在上帝的份上,留在澳大利亞。
 
Some of these points have been covered by others already so will just provide a brief summary:
I worked in Taiwan 2015-2018 for an international company (on international contracts) and almost everything involved communication in English (inc. the work done by our accounting and finance teams did require some Mandarin in some cases, but even there English-only roles existed).
Living day-to-day in Taiwan has its challenges but I would not describe them as extremely tough; once you figure out everything in the first month or so you should be fine. Taiwanese people are mostly friendly.
I now work for a different company (for their Australian branch) and am located in Melbourne. For this company everything is home-based - I do not go into the office. We have a branch in Taipei as well. I was going to relocate to the Taipei branch for personal reasons but nothing was going to change for me: the work would stay the same and it would be all in English. Well, nothing but the salary! Someone here suggested staying employed by the Australian branch while working in Taiwan because of the salary difference - that would indeed be nice but my company does not allow that for variety of reasons. Max I could do is 3 months in Taiwan while employed by the Australian branch. Even if I could there would be double taxation issues and other headaches.
So, I would need to switch to the Taipei branch (even though I do not need to go into the office). Lower salary etc. but sometimes you can't have everything in life.
Btw, I agree with some comments made here re the purpose: I think you would ultimately find a way in Taiwan but do you want to risk things for this person? I don't know, if I were in love with someone who was in Australia, living in Australia would hardly seem like a great sacrifice. I was going to move to Taiwan - and though I like the country there would be some sacrifices as mentioned above... but this is because that person has all her family there while my parents have passed away and the rest of my family is scattered across the globe (no one in Australia at the moment). From that perspective I thought it was right that it would be me who did the moving. Anyway, this is no longer current for me but hopefully gives you some perspective.
All the best with your choices!
其中一些重點已經被其他人報導了,所以只會提供一個簡短的摘要:
我2015-2018年在台灣任職於一家國際公司(國際合同),幾乎所有事情都涉及英語溝通(inc.)。 我們的會計和財務團隊的工作確實需要一些普通話,但即使是只有英語的角色也存在)。
在台灣的日常生活有挑戰,但我不會用極其艱難的形容;一旦你在第一個月左右搞清楚一切,你就應該沒事。 台灣人民大多友好。
我現在在另一家公司(澳大利亞分公司)工作,而且位於墨爾本。 對這家公司來說,一切以家庭為主 - 我不會進辦公室。 我們在台北也有分店。 我本來因為個人原因要搬遷到台北分公司,但對我來說沒什麼改變:工作將保持原樣,而且全英文。 好吧,除了薪水! 這裡有人因為薪資差價,建議留澳洲分公司就業,那確實不錯,但我的公司因為各種原因不允許。 Max 我可以做的是在台灣3個月,澳大利亞分公司就業。 就算可以出現雙重稅務問題,還有其他頭痛。
所以我要改去台北分公司(雖然不用進辦公室) 低薪等 但有時你無法擁有生命中的一切。
Btw,我同意在此發表的一些評論:我認為你最終會在台灣找到方法,但你想為這個人冒險嗎? 我不知道,如果我愛上了一個在澳大利亞的人,生活在澳大利亞,幾乎不會像一場偉大的犧牲。 我打算搬到台灣 - 雖然我喜歡這個國家會有一些犧牲,如上面所述... 但這是因為那個人有她的家人,而我的父母已經過世,而我的其他家人則分散在全球(澳大利亞目前沒有人)。 從那個角度我認為動作是對的。 不管怎樣,這對我來說已經不再是現行,但希望能給大家一些觀點。
你的選擇一切都好!
 
Australia is a beautiful country, English is much easier for your BF to learn than Mandarin for you.
Plus, as an accountant you will have to learn Chinese characters when learning to speak the language. That is very difficult!
In Taiwan, you Will be competing with his parents for your BF’s time!
At least spend 90 days in Taiwan before making such a Big decision.
Plus, MANY Taiwanese drivers are horrible, rude, dangerous and lacking basic human courtesy!
澳大利亞是一個美麗的國家,英語對你來說比普通話容易學得多。
另外,作為會計師,學會說話還要學漢字。 那很困難!
在台灣,你將與他的父母競爭你的BF時代!
至少在台灣待 90 天後才做出如此重大的決定。
另外,MANY台灣司機很可怕,粗魯,危險,缺乏基本的人性禮貌!
 
As a Vietnamese living 2 years in Taiwan till now, you can find some jobs without Chinese, but mainly in Taipei. Other cities also have but quite limited and also might not be same major. If you are not living in Taipei, then you should learn Chinese, so your life is much more easier. But expenses in Taipei is another level compare to the rest. Btw, have you visited Taiwan before?
作為一個在台灣生活2年的越南人,你可以找到一些沒有中文的工作,主要是在台北。 其他城市也有,但相當有限,也可能不是相同的主要。 如果你不住在台北,那你應該學中文,這樣生活輕鬆多了。 但台北的開銷與其他的相比是另一個層次。 Btw,大家有冇去過台灣?
 
I am an older person. I have been married twice. Once for 10 years and now for 28 years. I grew up in different countries in Asia from the time I was 4 until I was 18. This includes living in Taiwan for 3 years. Both Australia and Taiwan are wonderful countries and the people in both countries are great also. However, I feel that your moving to Taiwan would put you in a difficult position. You would make less money and thus be in a disadvantage in the marriage. I am sorry to say this but there is an invisible kind of power struggle in marriages, especially around money. Also, you will not have any of your friends to support you when you have a ruff day. You will be totally reliant on your future spouse and his family. His family probably doesn't want him to marry a foreigner and that is why they are pushing him so hard to move back to Taiwan. Since I have never met you or your boyfriend and you have never met me don't put too much weight on my comments. One thing I would do before you say yes to being married to someone is to meet that person's family first. Perhaps you could take some vacation time and visit him and his family in Taiwan to get a feel for what you might be getting into there if you do decide to commit to moving there for good and marrying him. Don't say yes while you are visiting Taiwan. Wait until you get back in Australia and have time to think about your visit there and what you learn about him and his family and what your future might look like if you did move there for good. Marriage is nothing to rush into. If you are a spiritual person and have a god to pray to ask him or her for guidance. Also, maybe there is wise person of your faith you could talk to who you feel might give you good advice and find out what they have to say.
我是老的人。 我結過兩次婚。 曾經10年,現在28年。 我從4歲到18歲,在亞洲不同國家長大。 這包括在台灣生活3年。 澳洲和台灣都是很棒的國家,兩國的人民也很棒。 但我覺得你移居台灣會讓你處於困難的位置。 你會賺少錢,因此在婚姻中處於劣勢。 很抱歉說這句話,但婚姻中有一種看不見的權力鬥爭,尤其是圍繞金錢。 還有,當你有廢文的一天,你也不會有任何朋友支持你。 你將完全依靠你未來的配偶和他的家人。 他的家人大概不希望他嫁給外國人,所以他們才這麼催他搬回台灣。 既然我從未見過你或者你男朋友,你也從未見過我,就不要在我的評論上放太重。 在你與某人說「好」之前,我會做的一件事,就是先見到那個人的家人。 或許你可以抽點假期,拜訪他和他在台灣的家人,感受一下如果你確實決定搬到那裡,並且嫁給他。 訪問台灣時,不要答應。 等你回到澳大利亞後,有時間想想你去那裡的訪問,以及你對他和他的家人的了解,以及如果你確實搬到那裡,你的未來可能是什麼樣子。 婚姻沒什麼好趕的。 如果你是一個靈性的人,有神可以祈禱向他或她尋求指引。 此外,也許有智慧的信仰者可以與你覺得的人談談,可能會給你很好的建議,並找出他們要說什麼。
 
Rachel Dreyer
Douglas Wendel if you go to Taiwan everyone may be on their very best behaviour trying to sell her the lifestyle. Wise words to wait until you're at home before making any commitments.
如果你去台灣,每個人都可能會在他們最好的行為上試圖出賣她的生活方式。 明智的話,等到你在家再做任何承諾。
 
 
To be honest, I m a Vietnamese and work as an accountant in Taiwan, even you work for an international or foreigner company in Taiwan, it’s still necessary to know Chinese, I would say quite well, every invoice, bill, documents or communication, notification with tax bureau, insurance bureau, banks and audit company have to be in Chinese, tax report system in Chinese, since they won’t speak English because of you can’t speak Chinese. In addition, how do you communicate with your manager, other colleagues in your department and other departments if you can’t speak and read Chinese ??
Another point is to be an accountant in Taiwan most of companies would consider that if have you ever learned Taiwanese tax law?? Some other related business laws? It’s quite important in Taiwan, do the companies accept the diploma and education of accounting systems tax law you already knew in Australia? Bid gap different between?? I
suggest that you should consider your relationship due to your own future plan, but if you really consider to move to Taiwan with him to work maybe you can review working as sales, purchasing, sales assistant positions which are not that many requirements and barriers to enter like an accountant job.
老實說,我是越南人,在台灣擔任會計師,即使你在台灣任職國際或外國人公司,還要會中文,我會說得相當好,每張發票、帳單、文件或通訊,通知稅務局、保險局、銀行和 審計公司必須是中文,報稅制度是中文,因為他們不會說英文,因為你不會說中文。 另外,如果你不會說話和讀中文,你會怎麼跟你的經理、部門其他同事溝通?
另一個重點是在台灣當會計師,大部分公司都會考慮,如果你有學過台灣稅法?? 其他相關的商業法? 在台灣相當重要,公司是否接受你在澳大利亞已經認識的會計系統稅法文憑和教育? 出價差距不同?? 我
建議大家因為自己未來計畫要考慮關係,但如果真的考慮跟他一起搬到台灣工作或許可以檢討當銷售、採購、銷售助理職位,並不是像會計師一樣進入那麼多要求與障礙 工作。
 
Nooo! Stay in your happy place ,never follow a man! Taiwan is no place for anyone who does not know how to read , speak and write mandarin. This is based on my personal, horrible current situation. Good luck, follow your gut and not your heart.
不! 待在你快樂的地方,永遠不要跟隨男人! 台灣是不懂讀書、說、寫國語的人。 這是根據我個人,可怕的現況。 祝你好運,順從你的膽量而不是你的心。
 
Natasha Soares definitely just like Japan or France … it’s good for those who have no heart to respect our national pride of culture leave happily as early as possible… no need to suffer no need to waste or try … if you dun want to be one of us then your always an outsider … and simply would be feeling low and down to frustrate yourself why bother when you could live more comfortable in your own country tho., … reasonably speaking.
絕對就像日本或法國... 那些無心尊重我們國家文化驕傲的人盡早快樂離開... 不需要受苦,不需要浪費或嘗試... 如果你不想成為我們之一,那麼你永遠是個局外人... 簡單地會感到低落,讓自己沮喪,何必為難自己,在自己的國家生活得更自在。 ,... 合理來說。
 
Natasha Soares great then ! So are you considering to move to France without speaking French or Japan without speaking Japanese oh btw in DAIWAN we actually speak the oldest living human national language of Ho*Lo*h we don’t speak Mandarin.
太棒了! 所以你有沒有考慮移居法國,不說法文,不說日本,不說日文,不說日文,btw 在DAIWAN,我們其實是說最古老的活人國語言,Ho*Lo*h,我們不會說國語。
 
I also suggest you to stay in Australia.
 
I worry for your happiness. I would dig your heels in. I don't know if it's your future plan but you are maybe at and age where you might have children soon. Where would you rather be - in an unknown land where you can't speak the language navigating being with a mother in law of a very different culture, or at home with your existing support network. If you have children in Taiwan you would have a hard time bringing them to Australia if things didn't work out. Becoming a mum if youve had a successful career is enough of an adjustment. Look up Hague convention on the legal aspect of a family from countries. I'm not sure Taiwan is a part of it. Sounds like your boyfriend is putting his relationship with his family before the relationship with you. And that may continue. On another note Taiwan accountancy is very complex and sometimes archaic. Think wax seals and rubber stamps! Take care but think of yourself in this instance what is likely to bring you long term happiness.
我為你的幸福擔心。 我會把你的高跟鞋挖進去。 我不知道這是不是你未來的計劃,但你可能現在年齡很快就有孩子了。 你寧願在哪裡 - 在一個未知的土地上,你不會說語言,導航與不同文化的婆婆在一起,或是在家裡與現有的支援網絡。 如果你在台灣有孩子,如果事情沒有成功,你會很難帶他們來澳洲。 如果你有成功的事業,成為媽媽就足夠適應了。 查看海牙公約,關於來自國家家庭的法律方面。 我不確定台灣是其中的一部分。 聽起來你男朋友在跟你關係之前把他和家人關係放在和你關係上。 那可能會繼續。 另一個注意,台灣會計很複雜,有時很古老。 想想蠟印章和橡膠郵票! 保重,但想想自己,在這個情況下,什麼可能會帶給你長遠的幸福。
 
I would definitely stay in Australia and not to move to Taiwan. There is no future in Taiwan for you and for your children later. He is selfish to ask you to give up your career in Australia and move to Taiwan. I would consider if he is asking you move to the U.S. or another English speaking country.
我一定會留在澳洲,不會搬來台灣。 台灣沒有未來對你和以後的孩子來說。 叫你放棄澳洲事業移居台灣,他是自私的。 我會考慮如果他要求你搬到美國或其他英語國家。
 
For me Australia make money is good.but for life in Taiwan is better, depends on you choose.
對我來說,澳大利亞賺錢是好的。 但台灣的生活更好,取決於你選擇。
 
 
Stay in Australia and find a new boyfriend.
EXACTLAMONT !!
the best advice so far...
Taiwan bad. Just stay Australia.
Solution option:your bf marry me, and you work for me.
are you serious.
 
Don't stay with a guy who puts what his family wants before what you want. You are not his priority.
不要和一個把家人想要的東西放在你想要的東西面前的人待在一起。 你不是他的首要任務。
please go to hong kong for accounting opportunity.
爭取會計機會。
 
Hi, Cindy. I got to said that, if you decided to settle down in Taiwan, you must deal with thousands of problems. Such as your boyfriend's family, the language problems, wedding issues, job concern and even the culture shock. So, I suggested that you come to Taiwan if your love to this man is strong enough to fight against all the problems above, to give up the life you appreciate, and to recovered from the damage since the marriage is not guarantee to be 100% succeed. Anyway, think not only twice when you are the only one who is devoted to the relationship. Best luck.
嗨,辛蒂。 我得說,如果決定定居台灣,就要處理千萬個問題。 比如你男友的家人、語言問題、婚禮問題、工作關注甚至文化衝擊。 所以我建議你來台灣,如果你對這個男人的愛足夠強大,可以對抗上面所有的問題,放棄你欣賞的生活,從傷害中復原,不保證百分百成功。 無論如何,當你是唯一投入感情的人,不要只三思。 祝你好運。
 
Find a boyfriend that wants to stay in Australia.
找一個想留在澳洲的男朋友。
 
Sherry Yen
1- Don’t ever sacrifice your career for a man who can’t provide you source of income and housing.
2- Taiwan is not an internationalised country - everything is very local.
3- Many Taiwanese try to move to western countries including Australia.
4- if you like Australia, don’t leave it. You won’t find as good jobs with same pay, as good apartment with same quality and price.
1- 不要為了一個無法為你提供收入和住房來源的人犧牲你的事業。
2-台灣不是國際化的國家-一切都很在地。
3-許多台灣人試圖移居西方國家包括澳大利亞。
4- 如果你喜歡澳大利亞,就不要離開它。 你不會找到同樣的薪水、同樣的品質和價格的好公寓。
 
The wages in Australia is much higher than Taiwan.
Without mandarin background, you won’t be an accountant in Taiwan.
Taiwan government accounting rules and local business practice is different from other countries.
Language barrier will keep you away from precessional jobs and salary level is too low.
Unless your boyfriend is able to take care of you and your future kids, he might have a car and an apartment to help you settle down?
I went back from Sydney to Taipei to work in carriers, APL, CMA,Hamburg Sid and Maersk.
Global company salary is high in Taiwan but still low in comparison with my Australian classmates who work in Sydney.
The best way is to work for an Australian or Vietnamese global company which allow you to stay in different countries to work for them in Taiwan.
Your boyfriend might be able to get a good job in Taiwan but your career is also important.
All the best!
澳洲的工資比台灣高很多。
沒有普通話背景,你不會在台灣當會計師。
台灣政府會計規則與地方經營實務與其他國家不同。
語言障礙會讓你遠離過差工作,薪資水平太低。
除非你男朋友能夠照顧你和你未來的孩子,否則他可能有車有公寓幫你安頓下來?
我從悉尼回到台北,在航母、APL、CMA、漢堡西德和馬爾斯克工作。
全球公司薪資在台灣很高,但與我在悉尼工作的澳洲同學相比,還是很低。
最好的方法是為澳大利亞或越南的全球公司工作,讓您留在不同的國家為他們在台灣工作。
你的男朋友在台灣可能可以找到好工作,但你的職業生涯也很重要。
一切都好!
 
So many negative comments. Unbelievable. However I know many successful foreign couples. I was recently for a wedding in Japan to French guy and Japanese girl. They are happy and have children.
好多負評。 難以置信。 但我認識很多成功的外國夫婦。 我最近在日本參加法國男生和日本女生的婚禮。 他們很幸福,有孩子。
 
Stay Australia much better.
 
Ania Anna
The comments are pretty bad, as if talking about a business transaction. Love isn't primarily about convenience. He did express a desire to get married so he isn't just leading you on, demanding you to take sacrifices with you keeping fingers crossed that it will turn into a serious commitment. It's uderstandable he'd keep his family's wishes in mind, people are much more community based here and value familial ties, doesn't mean he cares more about them than you. Best of luck.
評論很爛,好像在談商業交易一樣。 愛情主要不在於方便。 他確實表達了想要結婚的渴望,所以他不只是帶領你,要求你和你一起犧牲,手指交叉,這樣就會變成一種嚴肅的承諾。 他會把家人的願望記在心裡,人們在這裡更有社區,重視家庭關係,並不代表他比你更在乎他們。 祝你好運。
best comment of the day.
 
Speaking from my own experience, never moved to somewhere new for love. You have to make a decision to move to Taiwan for yourself, but not for anyone. If you can convince yourself to move there given all the disadvantages/obstacles, you will still have to face the difficulties of marriage. Being married is a whole new world, not to mention in a new country and speaking a foreign language. You are going to face these 3 major events and none of those are easy. It’s hard, very very hard. But I have 3 kids and still married in Canada. Good luck to you.
以自己的經歷來說,從未為愛搬到新的地方。 你要為自己做出一個決定,但不是為任何人搬來台灣。 如果你能說服自己搬到那裡去,婚姻的困難還是要面對。 結婚是一個全新的世界,更何況在新的國家還會說外語。 你將面對這3大事件,這些都不是容易的。 很難,很難。 但我有3個孩子,仍然在加拿大結婚。 祝你好運。
 
Many peoples would envy you to live in Australia 🇦🇺.. seriously taiwan salary is very low minimun is 350 euros 450 euros if over time) dont ruin your health, there many mens on earth..
很多人會羨慕你住在澳大利亞🇦🇺.. 說真的台灣薪水很低,最低是350歐元450歐元)不要破壞你的健康,地球上男人很多..
 
You may try to search for foreign companies that need an accountant. In that case, you can work and live in Taiwan without speaking any or speaking very little Mandarin.
您可以嘗試搜尋需要會計的外國公司。 既然這樣,你可以在台灣工作和生活,不用講國語也不用講。

Hola Cindy! Listen up baby girl, you need to rethink. Of course a healthy relation requires adjustments but lets have a glance on the facts. There are probably many trying every minute to move into AUS but you'll rarely find even some planning for Taiwan. Taiwan is obvio a beauty but for people already struggling in developing nations. So, no matter what give a deep thought and then go with the decision. Foremost "Will your bf give up the same life for staying with you?" Take care dear.
哈拉辛蒂! 寶貝女兒聽好了,你需要重新思考。 當然健康的關係需要調整,但讓我們看一眼事實。 可能有很多人每分每秒都想搬進澳洲,但你甚至很少找到對台灣的規劃。 台灣是obvio是一種美,但對於已經在發展中國家奮鬥的人來說。 所以,無論如何,都要深思,然後隨著決定。 最重要的是「你的男友會因為和你在一起而放棄同樣的生活嗎? “ 保重 親愛的。
 
Let’s put this in perspective:
1) Your boyfriend is not willing to live where you are comfortable. That’s a recipe for misery. I speak from experience.
2) What company would want to hire you to work in Taiwan as an accountant if you can’t speak the local language?
3) Even if you do learn Mandarin, unless you are an English teacher, you are always competing against local Taiwanese who are willing to work for much longer hours and less pay than what you are used to.
The romance will go away quickly once you face these realities…
讓我們來看這個:
1)你男朋友唔肯住你舒服嘅地方。 那是苦苦的良方。 我說的是經驗。
2)如果你不會說本地語言,哪家公司會想聘請你來台灣當會計師?
3) 就算你學普通話,除非你是英文老師,否則你總是跟當地的台灣人競爭,那些願意工作時間長,薪水比習慣少。
一旦你面對這些現實,浪漫就會很快消失...

if u do your nothing than a sucker to him.
如果你對他無所事事。
I’m sure she knows this already but she wants people on here to encourage her and hope they’ll give her a reason to leave so no matter what advice we give her she’s not gonna listen.
我確定她已經知道這一點,但她希望這裡的人鼓勵她,希望他們給她一個離開的理由,所以無論我們給她什麼建議,她都不會聽。
 
If you have a solid relationship, then why not go to Taiwan for few weeks and find out if you like his family, friends, and the environment??! Can he support you with his income, if you are unemployed?! If he doesn’t want to support you when you make a huge sacrifice, then I would think twice before going there.
如果你有穩固的關係,那為什麼不去台灣幾個禮拜,找找你喜歡他的家人、朋友、環境??! 如果你失業,他能用他的收入支撐你嗎?! 如果你做出巨大的犧牲時,他不想支持你,那麼我會三思而後行。
 
Taiwan is not good for you please dont come.
Please remain financial independent.
 
Better stay in Australia since you have a career there.
 
The most important thing is not to sacrifice your happiness for anyone. Hold on to the life you've developed for yourself and enjoy every minute of it.
最重要的是不要為任何人犧牲自己的幸福。 堅持自己為自己開發的生活,享受每分每秒。
 
if u do your nothing than a sucker to him.
 
The moment you ask to other this question you already made up your mind and you are just looking for someone to give you courage to put your decision in place! Stay in Australia!! If you have yo think about means you are not ready to change your current life, if he is not ready to sacrifice something for your relationship, he is not committed! This is as easy as it comes.
當你問其他這個問題的那一刻,你已經下定決心了,你只是在尋找一個人給你勇氣去做決定! 留在澳大利亞!! 如果你有想想,代表你還沒準備好改變你現在的生活,如果他還沒準備好為你的關係犧牲一些東西,那他就不承諾了! 這就是這麼簡單。
 
I don’t think you stay in Australia with speaking Vietnamese .its a same thing , If you wanna stay in Taiwan , you need to learn mandarin there .
我不認為你留在澳大利亞會說越南話。 同樣的事情,如果你想留在台灣,你需要在那裡學習普通話。
 
well said!!!!
 
說得好!!!!
 
台灣人給妳的建議會比較中肯。
你有澳洲會計師執照? 不想再考一次? 那就留在澳洲。
如果你的英文不錯,願意再考台灣的會計師執照(不難考),或改考CFP,在台灣不難找到好的工作。
妳用會計的思維想想看:失去一個人生伴侶跟失去工作,哪一個再找到的機會成本比較低?
至於社交圈…..如果你說英文,一點也不用擔心。
如果你說越南文,台灣的越南人口約為23萬人,澳洲的越南家庭人口32萬人,如果換算成密度,在台灣應該會更容易遇到越南語社交圈。
 
taiwan not better than australia i thank u stay in australia is good.
 
I think it needs to be clear where both of you will live in Taiwan. If you will live in Taipei or Kaohsiung, you may have a better chance. Other than those 2 cities, probably not a good idea. If you can find a remote accounting job, that will be even better~
我覺得要清楚你們兩個會住在台灣的地方。 如果你會住在台北或高雄,你可能更有機會。 除了那2個城市,可能不是個好主意。 如果你能找到遠端會計的工作,那會更好~
 
See if you can find a job first. Living there will be the easy part.
 
I agree with what Vivian Lin said. I don't think you should move to Taiwan. I love all the faults that Taiwan has. I have family-in-laws there. I feel like the island means more to certain people and the relationships they have. At least go visit for a few weeks and see how it goes. What city in Taiwan?
我認同林薇薇說的。 我覺得你不應該搬到台灣。 我愛台灣的所有錯。 我有家人。 我覺得這個島對某些人和他們的關係來說更有意義。 至少要去看幾周,看看它如何。 台灣哪個城市?
 
Stay in Australia. Period!
留在澳大利亞。 句號!
 
 
IF you can find an international accountants's firm ( or working from home/ remotely), no problem.
But suggest you start to learn Mandarin and Taiwanese (if his families speak or other languages) to communicate with the elders.
Btw, if you like Australia and your boyfriend doesn't.
You two might have bigger gap than you think.
如果你可以找到國際會計師事務所(或在家/遠端工作),沒問題。
但建議大家開始學國語、台語(如果他的家人會說或其他語言)來跟長輩溝通。
Btw,如果你喜歡澳大利亞,而你男朋友不喜歡。
你們兩個的差距可能比你們想像的更大。
 
澳大利亞才是人生活的地方
而台灣是人生存的地方。
 
There are many accounts already in Taiwan, if your boy friend can afford your life many years in Taiwan then maybe ok,however, if not then why come here and you still have to work to support yourself while you have a decent job in Australia already? You may ask your bf how does he support your life here? In short, money is important in everywhere for a living!
台灣已經有很多帳戶了,如果你的男生朋友在台灣可以負擔你的生活很多年,那或許還好,但如果沒有,那為什麼來這裡,你還要在澳大利亞有份正當的工作的時候,你還要工作養活自己? 你可以問問你的男友,他是如何支援你在這裡的生活? 總而言之,錢在各處都很重要!
 
Australia has a better work/life Balance.
 
Learn Mandarin, that’s key. The rest will naturally follow.
學習普通話,這是關鍵。 其他的自然會跟著走。
 
Nah stay where you are Cindy. Your bf knows nothing.
不,待在你在原地辛蒂。 你的男友什麼都不知道。
 
There is a rather large Vietnamese community in Taiwan and there are government classes there to learn Mandarin. Personally, I loved living in Taiwan and enjoyed learning Mandarin.
在台灣有一個相當大的越南社區,在那裡也有政府課可以學國語。 我個人喜歡生活在台灣,喜歡學習普通話。
 
We’ll meaning, but you might have missed a point. Not sure about her connections with Vietnamese language and culture, but Cindy is obviously an English speaking person, like an Australian, American or English.
我們會意義,但你可能錯過了一點。 不確定她與越南語言文化的關係,但辛蒂顯然是英語人士,像澳洲人、美國人或英語人士。
 
Vietnamese American here that used to live in Taiwan and wouldn't mind going back. Have you visited TW? Do you like it? I had no issues staying there and building new relationships from scratch. I got the heck out of the US and wouldn't live in a western country again given all the retardedness going on right now. I might move back to TW as I thought it offered a nice lifestyle for relatively cheap and the people there are nice too.
Money won't be an issue. If you wanted to teach English you could. You'd make less than your salary in Aus but the cost of living is much cheaper. Don't forget you're also Australian. You're not a local vietnamese vietnamese so you'll be treated better. ABCs (American born Chinese) - basically all Asians that are born outside of Asia... Are generally seen in a good light. Play up your foreignerness and you'll find people who will help and want to be friends with you.
這裡的越南裔美國人,曾經住在台灣,不會介意回去。 你逛過TW了嗎? 喜歡嗎? 我沒有任何問題留在那裡,從頭開始建立新的關係。 由於現在所有的弱智,我從美國開始,我不會再住在西方國家了。 我可能搬回台灣,因為我想的,它提供了相對便宜的生活方式,而且那裡的人也很好。
錢不會是問題。 如果你想教英語,你可以。 你在澳洲賺的薪水會低,但生活成本便宜得多。 別忘了你也是澳洲人。 你不是本地的越南人,所以你會受到更好的待遇。 ABCs(美國出生的華裔) - 基本上所有亞洲以外出生的亞洲人... 通常是在良好的光線下看到的。 扮演你的異國感,你會找到那些願意幫助的人,並且想和你做朋友。
 
If I were you I would stay in Australia not leaving for any uncertainty.
如果我是你,我會留在澳大利亞,不會為了任何不確定而離開。
 
What's the favor to ask?
有什麼好問?
 
account number!!
銀行帳戶號碼!!
 
Just eat food.
 
Convince your boyfriend to Australia instead.    反而說服你的男朋友去澳大利亞。
 
If you could work in Taiwan remotely while earning Australian or US salary you can live comfortably without ANY problems. However if you're gonna just relocate to Taiwan with your boyfriend and trying to fit in there without much Mandarin, and case in point, being Vietnamese, it's going to be difficult. Also you can't teach English because you're Vietnamese and NOT Australian, the case would be different if you hold an Australian passport though.
如果你可以在台灣遠端工作,同時賺取澳洲或美國的薪水,你可以生活得舒適,沒有任何問題。 但如果你要和男友搬到台灣,然後想不太多國語融入那裡,如果你是越南人,那就很困難了。 另外你不能教英文,因為你是越南人,不是澳大利亞人,如果你持有澳大利亞護照,這情況會不一樣。

It is hard to find work locally without Mandarin and Chinese writing skills. If you want to work without Mandarin skills, you have to try for a foreign company in Taiwan. That then becomes very competitive requiring special skills. Look online for job postings and try applying before moving to Taiwan.
沒有普通話和中文寫作技巧,很難在當地找到工作。 想工作沒有國語能力,就要在台灣找外商公司試試。 那就變得非常有競爭力,需要特殊技能。 上網查看徵才貼文,在移居台灣前嘗試應徵。
 
How close are you with the guy? Split and do your own thing.
你跟那傢伙有多親密? 分手做好自己的事。
 
You and i both. I fell in love with a Taiwanese. I was already established in North America but now I'm uprooting myself..
你和我都是。 我愛上了一個台灣人。 我早已在北美建立,但現在我自己連根拔起。
 
可以的話,留在澳洲,不要因為愛而去台灣(越南人會分享)。
 
Remain job independent
Remain financial independent
Find a country with high level social benefits.
Then immigrant.
保持獨立工作
保持經濟獨立
尋找高水平社會福利的國家。
然後移民。
 
Stay in Australia, break up with him, end story.
 
從我的角度來說:你應該思考和考慮,因為這對你來說不容易。
通過普通話是必要的。 幾乎不懂英文啊。
到台灣旅行感覺不太友好,尤其是越南人。
如果有小孩,可能可以考慮這樣去台灣。 如果你還沒有,你也要考慮一下你的這段關係。
祝你警惕,清晰,智慧,吉祥!
 
我覺得還是待在澳洲 ,錢比較重要。台灣男人婚前婚後差別比較大。(特別是有孩子之後,比較家裡事情放給女人做,容易讓女人忙碌。比較不會家事。而且由於台灣男人有家產繼承者的原因會特別聽從他的父母的話(不聽話就沒有拿到財產的資格做為要脅這個兒子),於是嫁的老婆有很大程度上,加入這個家庭會變成免費女傭,被剝削。(直到這個男人父母去世繼承家產,可是他父母生病很大機率也是讓嫁來的老婆照顧,老公則是指揮老婆。)
這個是在這裡根深蒂固的舊觀念。
親愛的 建議不要。
 
I would suggest you break up with your boyfriend and stay in Australia is safe.
 
don't leave ur work in Australia, if your boyfriend truly loves u then he should unite with you in Australia..
Stay in Australia...
不要把你的工作留在澳大利亞,如果你的男朋友真心愛你,那麼他應該在澳大利亞與你聯合起來。
留在澳大利亞...
 
I read through all the comments, it is all very good advice!
我看了所有的評論,都是很好的建議!
 
Stay in Australia and have a new bf.
 
Stay in Australia!
1. Australia pay much better
2. You have to adopt the culture there
3. You gotta understand their family culture, you might not be the top priority.
4. You have to be able to read and speak mandarins to work there as an accountant.
留在澳大利亞!
1. 澳大利亞付出好多了
2. 你必須採用那裡的文化
3。 你要瞭解他們的家庭文化,你可能不是首要任務。
4。 要會讀普通話,才能在那裡當會計師。
 
I think its a red flag, we can love someone without sacrificing our own lives, but love is blind right? I think if he loves you you both meet in the halfway not all on your shoulder to decides.
我認為它是一面紅旗,我們可以不犧牲自己的生命去愛一個人,但愛是盲目的對嗎? 我想如果他愛你,你們兩個人在半途中相遇,並不是全部都靠在肩上決定。
 
In my perspective, you should not be the one to sacrifice. firstly, his the guy, he should be the one to stay with you not you coming here in Taiwan just because he said so. I think it's unfair for you cause your not familiar with the environment. Taiwan is really nice, but as per my experience its somewhat hard living here when you don't know how to speak mandarin. In my case I'm already 2 years here and still having a hard time learning. I wish for your happiness and I hope you will make the best choice, cause its literally a life changing choice your going to endure for the rest of your life. So better think twice. Goodluck and best wishes.
在我的角度,你不應該是犧牲的人。 首先,他應該是他和你在一起的人,而不是因為他這麼說,你來台灣。 我認為你不公平,導致你對環境不熟悉。 台灣真的很不錯,但就像我的經驗,當你不知道怎麼說普通話的時候,生活在這裡有點辛苦。 以我來說,我已經在這裡兩年了,仍然很難學習。 我希望你幸福,我希望你能做出最好的選擇,因為它真的是一種改變人生的選擇,你要忍受一輩子。 所以最好三思。 祝你好運和祝福。
 
To be honest u can meet a better man than your boyfriend in Australia! The way u described you boyfriend sounds like he is mummy boy 😂🤣 sorry to say that , but as a Taiwanese I would not even want to be with a boyfriend like him ! Do not give up your job in Australia, work environments are much better in Australia than Taiwan !
老實說,你在澳大利亞可以遇到比你男朋友更好的男人! 你形容你男朋友的方式聽起來像他是媽咪男孩😂 🤣 不好意思這樣說,但身為一個台灣人,我甚至不想跟他這樣的男朋友在一起! 不要放棄澳洲的工作,澳洲的工作環境比台灣好太多了!
 
Taiwan is fine but for not knowing mandarin it will be the end of story. Salary here it's a bit low to compare to Australia and rentals are expensive. If your boyfriend loves you he will adjust and move with you.
台灣很好,但因為不知道國語,那將是故事的結局。 這裡的薪水,比起澳洲有點低,租金也貴。 如果你的男朋友愛你,他會調整和你一起移動。
 
Working in a corporate job in taiwan nope! Especially u are foreigner no chinese skills at all you will end up as their clown!
在台灣從事企業工作! 尤其你是外國人,根本沒有中文技能,你最終將成為他們的小丑!
 
身為草莓卻不會說中文,活著真難。
 
Umm.... I hope you guys actually met... Many financial scammers from Taiwan.
Hope all works well.
嗯... 我希望你們真的遇到了... 台灣很多金融騙子。
希望一切順利。
 
I think relationship is 2-ways. Taiwan is good and innocent. Australia is great and yet innocent.
Relationship is going to go for years and if distance is going to be a problem, you got a problem.
I am Taiwanese living in Oz. You need to work it out with your bf.
我認為關係是雙向的。 台灣是良善的,是無辜的。 澳大利亞很偉大,卻很無辜。
感情將會持續好幾年,如果距離會成為問題,你就有問題了。
我是住在Oz的台灣人。你需要和你的男友一起鍛煉。
 
You too love each other go for it dear you'll find a,work and learn a,language in daily life application local maids and kids there daily conversation is better coz the accent will be applied then you'll be happy husband be happy and start your family multi.lingual Taiwanese English Vietnam and mandarin she learn linguistic skill more extra bonus fir you and your child go girl go take a chance nothing to loose happy wife happy life never know what future holds grab it with both hands.
你們也愛彼此加油,親愛的,你會在日常生活中找到一個,工作和學習一個,語言,當地的女僕和孩子,每天的對話更好,口音將應用到,然後你會很開心,丈夫快樂,並且開始你的家庭。 台灣語言英語越南和國語她學習語言技能更多額外的獎金,你和你的孩子加油,女孩去抓機會,沒有什麼可以鬆散,幸福的妻子,幸福的生活永遠不知道未來會如何用雙手抓住。
 
如果在澳洲過得不錯,不建議來台灣生活。因為在台灣,很多外籍勞工來自馬來西亞,越南等東南亞國家,大部分的人對東南亞民眾是歧視的。另外大部分台灣人也歧視大陸籍民眾。

Cindy, I think you should try and see if Taiwan works for you. We live in Germany and our son studied in Taiwan last year for 10 months. He would have no problem living in Taiwan. He loved it and is currently back there for a visit. But of course, you should learn Mandarin, if you Plan to live there permanently.
辛蒂,我覺得你應該試試看台灣是否為你工作。 我們住在德國,兒子去年在台灣讀了10個月。 他住在台灣沒問題。 他很喜歡,目前回到那裡去看望。 但當然,如果你計劃永久生活,應該學普通話。
 
Nooo! Girl be smart about it. Ring first, sit down seriously and plan about the future, and Have him look around for a suitable job for you. You can work for an American company. Who says you can only be an accountant? You have other soft skills you can use to your advantage. Open up a tutoring school. Don’t just move without a serious plan, and he needs to sit with you and plan.
不! 女孩要聰明一點。 先打電話,認真坐下來,計劃未來,讓他四處找一份適合你的工作。 你可以在美國公司工作。 誰說你只能當會計? 你有其他軟技能可以發揮優勢。 開設補習學校。 不要隨便行動,沒有一個嚴肅的計劃,他需要和你坐在一起計劃。

Jonny and Laura
Our Taipei itinerary: Day 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtZQlyBAgIQ
 
 
and now this is day three of our Taiwan
Taipei trip and it wasn't the best day
it did not make us happy normally we
love Taiwan like like love like like
love so much the the food the people the
scenery all of it everything so for
starters you will notice in this video
that there is probably a lot less
footage than in the previous videos and
the reason for that is my SD card
catastrophic failure halfway through the
day so everything we did in the morning
to like midaf afternoon completely gone
and I thought well at least we're in
Taiwan it's the home of like data
recovery if you're going to be anywhere
and have an SD card fail Taiwan is the
place for it to be they laughed him out
of the shop that wasn't even the worst
thing that
happened so how did we start the day
with coffee same way we always start the
day the idea for the day was we were
going to go on the MRT down to taipe zoo
we weren't going to go to the zoo we
were going to get straight on the gond
up to Malong and we were going to go
around the tea plantations we were going
to visit we I'd read about there was a
temple like built behind a waterfall I
thought that sounded really cool so we
were going to go and have a walk um if
you haven't seen the previous videos we
had already done a lot of walking y
broken yeah were not great it did not go
as intended we got onto a G live pretty
quick quickly cuz we got there quite
early as well didn't we we do have some
footage that I took from your camera um
but you mainly say photos I mainly Say
videos so there's no video um there's a
tiny tiny bit and the views were amazing
yeah and it's it's such a different view
of the city and getting to look back as
you're going upside of a mountain
looking down over the city is is really
incredible yeah and I was really excited
because I love being out in the
countryside in Taiwan I love being out
and it's a tropical island and I enjoy
that aspect of it it's so different to
what we have in the UK no and I love
going out walking and I don't mind the
walking I forgot it was a tropical
island which I know sounds really stupid
because when you're in it's easy to be
getting in City you Fe even though
you're really close to Nature I kind of
forget that it is a tropical island even
with the weather and everything the
spiders yeah you could B spiders just
the general insect life is not my jam at
all we were walking through the forest I
mean obviously there's a proper path
everything it wasn't like we were jungle
explorers or anything but no I know I'm
making it sound ridiculous but you go on
a walk here the worst you're going to do
is get muddy everything runs away from
you in the UK because you're big and
loud well the thing was we'd walked past
that giant spider and I hadn't even
noticed it I hadn't noticed that there
was a massive yellow and black spider it
was huge right spiders in this country
you're lucky if they're like bigger than
that and even then that's normally just
leg it's not body they normally like
really like they they look a bit useless
it's yeah it's that thing though isn't
it on a morning in Tai if you're one of
the first people out on a walk you need
to be especially careful and make sure
you're looking out there's no webs
across the path or anything so it wasn't
we didn't walk through a web we walked
past one and I hadn't noticed you had
noticed and then as soon as I so I
thought oh no I better be really careful
so now I spent the next what couple of K
like doing this like looking around what
I wasn't doing is looking at my feet we
discovered some new taipe Wildlife that
I'd never even heard of before so Laura
had a close encounter with what I
believe was a yellow arroe head flatworm
so right I can't explain to you the
sheer
horror of feeling stop laughing it was
horrible and I thought it was parasitic
I thought I was going to be infected
with its babies and they going to burst
out of my foot I and I'm not I know that
sounds ridiculous now it was pretty
gross I wondered if it was like a giant
leech at first and you felt something on
your leg crawling on my leg it was
crawling on my leg and it was wet and
sticky and I thought oh it's it's just a
Vine because they a vine
and I'd been looking up to make sure
there were no spiders yeah so we
removed the flat worm from your leg oh
and it crawled away again unfortunately
I would love to show you footage of this
and show you Laura's reaction I couldn't
even run away cuz I couldn't I was like
something else is going to get me I'm
going to run into a spiders where I
couldn't even leave so we we couldn't
get any signal cuz there was no signal
so we couldn't look up what was we
wanted to look up what it was didn't we
to find out if you was it was dangerous
on the positive side of tropical island
and tropical island bugs and Wildlife bu
you in the face there was so many
beautiful
butterflies all sorts of different
varieties we like butterflies we do like
butterflies they don't crawl up my leg
come on they are incredible yeah you're
not yeah of course they are they're huge
and brightly colored and way more
interesting
than anything we have here yeah
absolutely I think Taiwan is definitely
the best country I've ever been to for
butterflies oh hands down yeah it's like
it's like snow like the amount of
butterfly you when you get them all
together yeah it's like snow here and
then I think the most disappointing
thing though was that After experiencing
all this when we got to the end of the
walk and we reached the temple it wasn't
open I didn't care I didn't care about
anything all I could think was I want to
get back and research and find out sure
that I don't need to go immediately to
the hospital and have somebody amputate
my foot like I I was constantly checking
the floor I was literally doing that
thing where I was doing this Con like
constantly the anxiety that I felt I
could it was it was horrendous to the
point where it was so hot that I'd
stopped caring it was so hot it was
humid it was awful in hindsight do I
understand that time perhaps overreacted
yes but I didn't realize at the time
that it wasn't dangerous wasn't going to
eat me or it hadn't already attempted to
eat me and it wasn't poisonous or
whatever but I didn't know that at the
time yeah so we would love to tell you
all about the different tea plantations
and things that we visited at but we
didn't we did go to the tea shop that's
just by there I think it's just called
the Malcom tea house that's by the MRT
yeah we did that on the way back because
I think we needed a break after that and
to research whatever the hell it was and
that's when we found out about flat
worms who knew I was so relieved that I
mean it was still disgusted yeah but I
was so relieved that it wasn't as bad as
I thought it was it wasn't dangerous but
I couldn't not feel I could still feel
it on my leg I've never felt anxiety
like that before I can't tell I know
it's ridiculous I know but it ruined it
ruined the day it ruined the experience
for me and I just needed to leave I
couldn't I needed to not be me and
nature yeah for a while cuz I need
needed Comfort yeah I needed a hug and
our favorite Taiwan comfort food is
baang Yi The Dumpling shop so we went
for dumplings because I needed something
that would equate to a food hug and
that's what I went for and as we were
sat in there I filmed the dumplings and
the camera fa the SD card he said um I
can't remember it said something about
the SD card on the screen like can I
read SD card and then it it just it just
gone and I think the thing that
frustrated me most is we'd had such a
difficult morning and it's like well at
least we got lots of nice footage of
like the the gond and all the rest so it
was worth it but then everything had
gone as well and I was not happy yeah no
you no you were not but I was not happy
neither of us were happy I felt much
happier because I wasn't going to die so
yeah I think so we didn't want to
completely waste the day we decided that
on the way back we would stop somewhere
where we knew we could get good footage
yeah so we stopped um at the Chang
Memorial Hall and had a look around
there and yeah we were actually quite
lucky when we got to Chango Memorial
Hall because it was the perfect time of
day um like it was like golden hour
lighting and sky was pink the buildings
looked amazing there was lovely clouds
in the sky and also me we were there for
the final Changing of the Guard and the
flag lowering ceremony which I hadn't
seen before so it was really exciting to
actually get to see those things and
it's also the first time I've actually
had a camera with me to film The
Changing of the Guard how they stay in
time for that especially the bit where
they like flip the guns around yeah it's
like the it's like not The Changing of
the Guard in the UK CU The Changing of
the Guard here is very they literally
just walk lucky very lucky but I'm just
thinking of the the pump and ceremony
that you get with the Royal yeah
ceremonies it's quite similar isn't it
it's in that it's it's much poor a
cousin this stuff in Taiwan yeah he's
like the choreography is really
impressive yeah yeah um they it clearly
must take a lot of training to be one of
the people who does yeah The Changing of
the Guard very impressive and the flag
the flag lowering as well was very
ceremonial like very timed and like
organized and as say I'd not seen that
before so it was yeah it was really cool
so when we were there we were taking as
we were taking some pictures this um
like group is that three group of
friends yeah had come over and just kind
of chat to us barly and they were they
were so lovely one of them was Taiwanese
and one of them was was national student
yeah I can't remember whether come from
was it Thailand maybe Thailand yeah I
think it was I can't remember um that
was really lovely I think it's just just
one of the highlights of being in Taiwan
though is just again just the
friendliness yes you're always one step
away from having a chat with someone who
you've never met before and who's just
happy to spark up a conversation and you
always feel so welcome one of the things
I feel about the Chang Kai Shack
Memorial whole area and the square is
that there's always more to explore
it's quite surprising how much is there
cuz you think of like the Main Avenue
from the gate to the hall and that's
what everybody sees but it's surprising
how much Garden there is there we've
seen Lads of squirrels there is lots of
squirrels lots of fish lots of little
herens little little herens that's their
name little heren little Heron yeah so
it's a nice area to explore and we were
there until because we were there at
Sunset and then we were there until it
kind of got dark so we got to see the
lights coming on and all the rest of it
but I think what was nice was
around the back where the gardens are we
saw like people practicing instruments
yeah um and I think that's is really
nice that it's a used Space by the
public yeah then we got hungry so we'd
heard that there was a shaolong bow
place that rivaled dinong and we thought
we need to try both of them on the trip
and then we can confirm or deny whether
it was as good or better than dong it
was called Hanjo sholon B and it was
good it was really good it was really
good it was really good we had some
really nice um like water spinach yes
that was good and they had we had the
shaon B we also had some mushroom oh
mushroom shaon bow oh yeah you know it
tasted like um mushroom tortillini it
was delicious I really really like that
so with that worst day out of the way
things perked up again after this and in
the next video we'll be talking about
our trip around the everywhere
everywhere that we went what did we do
we walking we did we did like the sh
District so we started out with alha
mountain and then explored all of the
like typ 101 area we got to the point
where I couldn't walk up and downstairs
so Elephant Mountain was fun

What a women.
A Chinese woman was sure that her husband was cheating, so she searched on Baidu until she found the account of her husband’s mistress. She printed a normal-sized picture of her face, wrapped the picture tightly around a watermelon, and then put it inside the refrigerator.
When the husband opened the refrigerator door at night, he fainted from the horror of the shock and almost died as a result, after suffering a heart attack.
 
They need to defrost the freezer asap.

First ride: Gogoro Pulse is the most advanced E-Scooter yet!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn8-kxSyPVs
 
this is the highest performance and most
technologically advanced electric
scooter goo has ever
[Music]
made hey everyone M here with electric
today I'm taking a first ride on the goo
pulse electric scooter come along with
us while we check it
out I recently went to Taiwan to visit
goo and take a spin on the comp's most
advanced electric scooter ever if you
don't know who guro is yet they're
responsible for the largest and most
successful battery swapping standard
ever their batteries and scooters make
hundreds of thousands of swaps every day
for most of the past decade goo's
scooters have been high-tech computers
wrapped in cute exteriors but with the
pulse goo ratcheted up both the
performance and the look to test out the
new model I joined goo at a press event
at a disused air strip in central Taiwan
there I had the chance to test out the
new scooter in several ways starting
with a test of the traction control on
loose silty sand and dirt I'm not really
a dirt Rider and I don't have much
experience at it which is good because
the traction control basically took care
of all the slipping and sliding for me
the scooter has a special dirt mode just
for this which would be useful when
you're riding on Trails or other loose
or slippery terrains
[Music]
I even made it into a goo promotional
[Music]
shot from there I moved on to the slalom
testing I didn't push it quite as hard
as goo's Pro Rider did in the demo which
is to say I definitely wasn't scraping
the side standand like he was but it was
still a great chance to feel just how
Nimble and maneuverable the scooter felt
I'm a commuter style Rider in fact I own
a goo scooter back home and I ride it
every day in urban settings where being
Nimble and agile aren't just a nice
feature they're a necessity so being
able to slip around like this on such a
powerful yet agile scooter is key for
any Urban
Rider but the real treat and the main
event was when goo set up a drag style
test strip on the runway to try out a
feature known as launch mode in launch
mode you get to take full advantage of
the 9 KW motor and the 378 newon M or
280 lbet of torque hold a Brak first
the once you have launch mode set the
motor actually rocks back and forth
quickly creating a similar shaking
feeling to a high revving engine waiting
for you to pop the clutch and when you
release that rear brake lever it's a
real clutch popping sensation as you
quite literally launch off the line
wo oh my
gosh I only had 250 M of room to run but
I was already into the triple digits
meaning I was over 60 MPH by the time I
passed the flag guy
it's hard to explain just how crazy that
feels launching on a scooter like this
I've ridden powerful electric
motorcycles before I've done 0 to 60 mph
in 3 seconds but it's something you
expect on a $25,000 Flagship motorcycle
not something you're expecting to feel
on an electric scooter but then again
this isn't any normal electric scooter
and in fact it's all the extra Tech in
there that drives home that point this
is a one-of-a-kind vehicle on the inside
and the outside that display it's a 10
and 1/4 in touchscreen though I'm glad
to see you've also got physical controls
as well in fact the pulse is the first
two wheeler in the world to run
qualcomm's new Snapdragon qmw 2290
processor giving you beautiful turn BYT
GPS navigation right there on the screen
which is huge for me so I don't have to
have my phone on the bars
anymore then there's the 13 segment
intelligent headlight that adjust each
LED individually to throw light close or
far depending depending on your riding
conditions as well as to angle that
light around turns these are automotive
level features but in a two-wheeler mind
you now the pulse isn't out on the roads
just yet so I'm thankful to goo for
inviting me out to come test it ahead of
its full launch but I can already tell
you that this is going to open the doors
for so many riders to seriously up their
experience using the pulse as a fast and
efficient commuter during the week and
as a fun agile Thrill Ride on the
weekends I'm definitely team scooter
myself often using my go Gro for utility
tasks that I just can't do on my
motorcycles so if goo is ready to give
us a more motorcycl like performance in
a high-tech scooter format then sign me
[Music]
up thanks for watching everyone we'll
see you here next time

You are the GOAT Micah. Incredible content... love seeing the factories and hearing you insights on the wonderful movements in micromobility!
Countries that use scooters as vehicles, not just for fun, will benefi this great idea!
Swappable battery with multiple stations to pick up charged batteries?
Game changer for big cities. I can only wish the US would adopt this, instead of one-person driving a huge SUV, lifted truck, or car.
Traffic is getting worse in well-populated areas and two-wheel vehicles are the way to go since better public transportation is not being considered.
In the US the ppl here would vandalize the batteries out of pure hate. Like they do the EV chargers.
 ˈvandlˌīz  故意破壞(他人財物)。
pure hate meaning
Dictionaries define “hate” as “intense or passionate dislike for someone or something.” When hate is intensified to a point where it defies death, yours or someone else's, we might add, it becomes “pure hate.”
an extremely strong dislike. 憎恨,憎惡. She gave him a look of pure hate. 她非常憎恨地看了他一眼。 The feelings of hate grew stronger every day. 仇恨一天天 ...
people are vandalizing charging stations in the US? Dammit!!!
 
The biggest market for this is, yes you guess it right - India. They have been testing products here for a few years now, but haven't launched any scooter yet. I hope they bring the Pulse soon and price it at 2000 USD or less. I will be the first to buy.
PULESE It's 4000 US dollars.
 
And yamaha is sleeping...crazy.
Yamaha do have the e01, released in south east Asia but still waiting for release date to Europe.
 
I liked that sound in the Launch mode .... I recalled about the old video games, i believe it was Roadfighter.
 
Hopefully its coming to europe.
Fantastic preview and tell tell tell when it is available.
New 2 channel Awesome stuff Bro
Owned both Gogoro CrossOver and Gogoro VIVA MIX, Pulse looks indeed interesting.
Thats cool and looks fun.
Magnificent.
Wow this is unreal. Please come to the uk gogoro amazing scoots they would definitely sell well here. Seeing as all the Japanese brands can't be arsed to make anything half decent yet. Where are the bikes honda keep promising year after year.
Their monthly fees on battery rent are economically viable for daily long commuters >50 km/day.
Damnnn the new one is just sweeeeter......
 
"UP is not a verb!" -- Don Quixote
 
Cool, how much and when will they be in the USA.
when will gogoro come to the US or Hawaii? I need at least 300cc performance.
Coming to the USA when and at what price point? Thanks.
Unknown and unknown :-/
Never this is the land of the oil.
Never gonna happen.
Not with the new Tariffs that just passed.
 
Nice looking scooter.
is this bike coming to US? thks for a reply.
Nice to know how much $. That thing blazes.
How much does it cost?
can’t purchase it unless you live in a country that sells Gogoro scooters and has battery exchange infrastructure.
 
I love how the loaner helmet is like, 3 sizes to big and would probably do more harm than good if he wrecked it. But.... this thing seems pretty wicked. If these were available in the US for a reasonable price, I could see them selling *very* well.
One more reason to avoid the slide.
Their monthly fees on battery rent are economically viable for daily long commuters >50 km/day.
 
You should try ola e scooters from India love from 🇮🇳.
Is it possible to tour the Taiwan mountains on this? I wonder what the range is?
Definitely, but with swapping.
There are several mountains with swap stations nearby or part way up the mountains.
 
Do a video on the ego mini bike.
Fascinating! 極有趣的;吸引人的。
But, I feel an overpowering need to play role of safety officer.
What on earth possessed you to ride without proper gear?
Sure, the helmet was a smart choice, but where were the gloves, the jacket?
You were in a t-shirt … Crazy! And you go off-roading in loose dirt, with comment of minimal dirt experience, and then a high-speed launch?
You're a wild one! And speaking of that high-speed launch, with all that engine torque, how did the front tire decide not to take a vacation in the stratosphere?

Wait how did you get a Gogoro scooter back in the US? I thought they only sold in Taiwan.
I didn’t, I don’t live in the US.
 
At 4:44 it's showing pricing. What's the conversion rate for dollars ?
The price is base on New Taiwan Dollar.
The rate now is 1 USD to 32.24 NTD.
So Pulse Ultra (the one in Video) is 4031 USD .
 
Gogoro pulse when in India please do a vedio on that.
I would love to see scooters like these in the US.
Millions of people use them elsewhere in the world for primary transportation.
They are perfect for urban commuting and are very inexpensive.
OLA has a high end model for less than $2500!
If you Google electric scooter, the search results only show those stand up scooters that kids ride around on. Sad.
 
When is it coming to India????
You should try Ather Apex and Rizta in India.
Top speed?
Try Ather Apex 450, it is even better.
Vinfast makes ev scooters in Vietnam they mainly use them for Grab and taxis.

What's the top speed.
115 km/h. not mile.  常用的單位是公里每小時(km/h)或是英制系統下的英里每小時(mph)。
No licence needed for this in Florida?
Please send them to the USA. We want.
Is it chain drive?
belt drive.
 
Is it launching in India?
If this scooter comes in India within 3000$-4000$ then it will be fun.
Its $8000.
it's the price here in the Philippines, 450,000 philippine pesos, which equates to almost 8k usd.
Gogoro Pluse is starting from 3,390 USD in Taiwan though. T͟Hō 肉 雖然,儘管, 可是,不過,然而, 可是,不過,然而。thtough THro͞o  true   tro͞o
What under $4000 and top model price?
Yep. Unfortunately, their monthly fees on battery rent are economically viable for daily long commuters.
Yeh. Nice.
Try Ather 450 Apex. You'll be blown away.
0-50 km/hr in 3.05 sec!
Come to india and test ola S1 pro gen 2.
Looks good ... but what didn't you tell us?
Like the obvious how much, how fast and how far on one single charge?
This is why we have our username ...
Speed up to 110 km/h.
You don't charge; instead, you swap the battery.
With each swap, you get 50 km to 60 km.
 
This is too pricey when launched here in the Ph. Also, the area where there are swapping stations are very limited.
Would have been a great everyday scooter if not for the price.
check out Ather 450x and Apex.
If this scooter is made in India then its price will be around $4000-$5000.
 
I'm an American living in Taiwan.
I own a motorcycle but rented a gogoro for the first time last weekend while visiting a different city.
I have to admit it was fun besides the cramped feeling of how close and high the handlebar is.
Too bad this model looks old and ugly. If it was going for retro it missed the ball hard.
I wish they could design something more aesthetically pleasing and more similar to an E motorcycle.
It's the only thing keeping me from getting one.
 
If you say this is the best e-scooter you must test ride the Ather.

Yes and a motorcycle endorsement as it goes over 30MPH in most states.

Come India and checkout ola electric And ather.
 
people in the comments. There is a thing called the internet. they have a website. the cost in Taiwan is 760 dollars us, after government subsidies. in india 1800 dollars us. they could sell a lot of these in the usa. they are better than an e bike.range 100 miles.
760 dollars for the 50cc, while the PULES 150cc is priced at around 4000 dollars.
Lol it's not 760$.
 
unfortunately the company is only successful in Taiwan it hasn't really enter those bikes hungry countries like Vietnam Thailand Malaysia Indonesia.
 
it's just $109,000.
thats in taiwanese dolar , about 3.360 usd.
 
Please wear gloves!
Lol. U call this advanced? What a joke. Come to india. Test ather and ola. Its 11 kw motor way more torque, proximity lock and unlock, ride journals, and list goes on. Not to mention below 1000$ price point and 8 year battery warranty. 125 km/h top speed.
1800 almost $2000 USD.
There's NOTHING like you mentioned below $1000 USD in India🇮🇳.
 
Worthless video. Price? Range? Top speed? What speed can it maintain going up a hill? Don't know anyone who rides their scooter in the dirt. Battery swapping won't work if you have to go to Taiwan to swap the battery.
Where does it say it's a review video? It's a first look, just like the title says.
Glass half-empty type of guy?
When I take a first look at something I might want to purchase, I notice the price and stats. DUH.
So you're not concerned with whether that item will actually be available for purchase wherever you are?
That too.
 
I'm sorry to say. Very poor design.
 
They need better color selections for the Pulse, like the matte purple pearl paint job on the one you own, personally I'd be down on reflective chrome or ZTH hypershift.
 
So the battery lasts forever since you switch it everytime.

Autumn Car Playing
18-Minute Time-lapse Restoring a Classic 1981 Honda TACT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JPOEasrCB8
 
This is a '81 Honda TACT, the first-generation model.
The previous owner hadn't had it long
before I took a liking to it
and snatched it right out of their hands.
I am very much looking forward to the moment it starts.
After a few kicks
the engine still has compression.
Now I'll remove the casing
and figure out how to start it.
Spiders have made a home here.
Wow, this is for you.
No electricity
Seeing the wiring so neat,
I initially suspect the ignition is broken.
Let's replace the ignition first and try it.
Do you see that there is electricity
It was the ignition.
With old scooters like this,
You can start the car with basic fuel and electricity
First, let's check its spark plug.
It’s so black.
Never mind, I'll replace it with a new one.
Before I put a new one in, I need to apply some oil,
to lubricate it.
Let's also check its fuel line.
Sure enough, a small scooter comes with a tiny filter.
Upon opening, you can see the whole carburetor.
Now I’m going to take it apart and clean it.
Wow
Although the engine has started
there's a slight abnormal noise
and it seems to lack power when accelerating.
Next, I need to disassemble the whole scooter
and customize it to your liking.
This is for adding two-stroke oil.
As you can see, these rubber covers are all perished.
The frame has been completely dismantled.
Now we're going to disassemble the engine.
This is the scooter's CVT (continuously variable transmission).
You can see how dirty it really is inside here
and look at this screw,
I have no idea what it’s been through.
Wondering what it has experienced.
No wonder there was an odd sound, the piston clearance is too big.
This is equivalent to the valves in a four-stroke engine.
Initially thought refurbishing this scooter would go smoothly,
but upon dismantling the engine,
I found serious wear in the cylinder and piston,
the crankshaft is also worn but still usable.
And there's the transmission system,
the belt and variator weights need replacing.
It's the stage I hate the most,
but I also enjoy this process the most.
The polishing is done.
First I apply some oil to position it.
These casings are all rotten,
but a patch-up can still make them usable.
After more than a month's work,
I finally finished refurbishing it.
The video showcases its highlights,
the process was full of twists and turns,
but I'm quite satisfied with the final result.
Next is to assemble its engine.
The engine has been fully assembled.
Next is to replace the carbon brushes in the motor.
You can see the new vs old comparison;
these carbon brushes have been completely worn down.
Add two-stroke oil to it.
This tail light has burned out.
Install its battery,
and it will be ready to start.
Now, install its seat.
Now, let's fill it up with gasoline.
I never understood why, when filling up a tank,
people would pour in two capfuls of engine oil.
Now I think I get it.
This is my very first small scooter
and it's in my favorite pink color.
Next, I'm going to put my soul sticker on it.
The stickers are all applied.
Although it's not road-legal,
I can still take it for a little spin in my garage.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina House voted against a bill that would've banned mask-wearing in public Wednesday.
The Senate passed it last week as part of an effort to crack down on people who wear masks at protests so they can commit crimes.

Taiwan on garbage day :
 
Well that’s one way to let ppl know it’s garbage day in Taiwan.
As a Taiwanese, I feel like there are some things to clarify:
1. This is called the “no trash touches the floor policy” It is implemented because it’s an extremely humid climate , if trash is collected once a week like most places, that smell is gonna be horrendous.
2. The garbage truck comes 5 days a week(No Wed&Sun), you have plenty of time to do this.
3. If you live a condo/gated community, then more often than not there will be centralized trash collection.
4. The truck DOES stop at certain points, never more than a two minute walk. If you see people tossing them in when the truck is moving, they’re just too lazy to walk to the collection point.
5. You can find the route and timing when the truck comes down to the minute! And it’s VERY accurate. If it says 12:47 you bet it will be there on time.
Thanks for reading:) I wish you all could visit Taiwan one day!
 
this is really interesting, thank you for sharing!
The garbage trucks are more punctual than the trains lol.
if I could I'd move there tomorrow. That's a level of organisation and civic pride that Westerners lack.
this was actually insightful, thank you.
to the people who are so civic about trash disposal.
sounds like amazing. Cant wait to see taiwan.
dang! New York City needs that real bad.
thanks for the clarification.  感謝澄清。
assistance for physically disabled people who cannot make it easily?
There’s always 1 driver and 1-2 garbage men on the back of the truck. Whenever the truck stops they’ll hop off and help anyone in need!
right "garbage day" we'd all die from the stink and pressure of being there that DAY that time.
thank you! I visited Taiwan 10 years ago and loved it there! Wish I could go back.
thank you for sharing!! This is gonna be my fun fact of the day.
what does this have to do with fur elise being used as the tune?
so well written!! was just about to write a little info comment as well and you covered it all ❤️🇹🇼.
NYC @nycmayor we need this in summer.
brilliant.
 
In Australia our ice cream trucks use that same sound!
So you can imagine my disappointment when I found out that in fact it was not an ice cream truck.
 
I did the same thing on my 1st trip to Taiwan, I grabbed my wife hand on the hot day and chased after sound only to be met with the same disappointment as you did.
wow did not know countries used this song so much.
I need confirmation.
I was in AU last month, shame I don't hear any ice cream truck, will love to feel the opposit.
in Brazil the same music is used in the lpg gas trucks.
one man's trash is another man's ice cream.
for sure you still can find a ice cream in the garbage truck!
whereabouts in australia? in WA the ice cream trucks all play green sleeves.
As a Taiwanese, I’m sorry to hear that, but I guess you can pretty much sure to find a convenience store near the truck, it sells ice cream too!
No ice cream trucks in the evening I suppose ?
wait what? Lol
bro I had the same reaction!!
most Australian ice cream trucks play Greensleeves, though.
 
I think that’s the official song for garbage trucks in Asia we also have that.
 
really? Which country?
Philippines, we also put Tagalog lyrics on it.
how’re there lyrics for this song???
We still have this in Mongolia.
they added words to the song which translates to “throw your trash,” so basically a theme song for trash day tho not all trucks has the song.
not asia bro. I live in Singapore and we don't have this shitz.
SG is not the only Asian Country. Clearly some Of the Asian countries use it.
forklift sound in korea.
Person said ASIA and S'pore is in Asian so obviously the person wanted to pt out it is not the case IN ASIAN. He/she cld have just said their country's name instead of the continent.
Spain too.
because someone in the comments said that they have this in India too hence the “Asia” and I know when one Asian country has it more likely there will be other one as well.
India has songs written saying the garbage collectors have come bring the garbage out.
in iran too lol.
yesss i was surprised taiwan has the same one.
 
do you know delhi in india have the same song for garbage trucks.
 
oh wow we didn’t know Beethoven was so popular for trash day haha.
actually its so loud that it feels annoying in its own way.
they obviously don't come often enough because India is one big dump.
how often have you been to India? why dont you keep your opinions with you.
haha. i stay in taiwan so I relate this to garbage trucks in delhi.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So inconvenient.
it’s a tiny island can you imagine how much trash would be dumped if it wasn’t enforced…
In many other places around the world you can just leave your garbage in a bin for the garbage collectors to collect instead of having to line up and wait for a truck to arrive at a set time.
some places will have you come out and throw away your trash, but some buildings have a service for it.
Inconvenient How?
Living in a building with a centralized garbage collection area means you don't need to take out the trash yourself. In Taiwan, one convenient aspect is having two convenience stores within a one-minute walk.
It doesn't work that way in Taiwan, people have to pay for garbage disposal bags by the government to reduce waste and encourage recycling. People just throwing garbage in a bin has no way of filtering whether it's compliant or not. Especially, most cities in Taiwan have a high population density, you can see the trash just flood out from bin.
@ kennonwong It’s not about being small or not, it’s the way how trash is collected. Hong Kong is a lot smaller than Taiwan and they have a central trash collection point. Like a huge dumpster. In Barcelona they have huge trash bins all around the city streets for residents to use. In Sweden they use the automatic vacuum waste system which sucks the trash underground and into the waste center. So basically all these methods allow people to throw trash whenever they want instead of wasting time waiting for the waste collection truck to come.
yea, so I usually train my dogs and cats to take shift, 1 3 5 and 2 4 6, sunday i will do it.
@deryksen have you seen how much trash is scattered around HK or the amount of fly tipping?

It may be more inefficient for residents but it saves a lot of money for the local jurisdiction and most likely they have set times and have it sorted so you wait max 5 minutes and you hear the truck coming.

Mentioning Sweden is moot 88% urbanised 10m people compared to 79% and 24m people in Taiwan.
Consider the expenditure for your beloved suckers. Would you like to pay the same taxes as in Sweden 33-53%?

I'm British so l'm familiar with expensive council taxes, l'm sure you'd complain to high heaven or protest if you had to pay £1.2-3.7k (HK$12-36k)a month that increases every single year without a doubt.

Most likely this model in Taiwan has probably been in place for decades so people are just accustom to it.
Don’t fix what ain’t broke and doesn’t break that bank of councils or citizens.
 
Taiwan isn’t like America where houses and roads are big. If each apartment or house/business has their own bigass garbage bin then the whole street would be filled with them. Taiwanese houses don’t have “front lawns” for them.
I think the main reason is the weather.
Taiwan is super hot and humid, if we use the collection system like other countries, the smell will be awful.
And there is no place for digging the hiding collection system.
In this way, you can throw the garbage almost every day, so why not?
you get your trash taken every night. It's very convenient.
what we expect from you my lady.
sure, if you wanna live surrounded by rats, roaches and other bugs… don’t forget the foul smell from unattended trash, the maggots coming out of it, etc…
but much cleaner than what they used to do, which was a big pile that got collected once a day. You weren’t supposed to put your trash there until a certain time, but it was ignored so you had big permanent piles of trash, along with rats, cockroaches, stray dogs and cats. Some places had dumpsters but they filled quickly and result was the same. This system has made a huge improvement in the livability of a very crowded city.
no wonder HK has trash everywhere.
High taxes in Sweden and the council taxes are sure not all due to the garbage connection.
But since you have to pay for the bags in Taiwan, the end result is probably the same.
Apart from that, only local population density (instead of the whole country) and hygienic factors are relevant.
But I agree that it's a nice system that seems to work very well for the Taiwanese.
for sure Swedish taxes aren’t all for refuse collection but rubbish suction points don’t sound cheap to install, power, maintain and fix. I have to ask how much do you think bags cost? Rubbish bags are the cheapest form of plastic it’s literally junk plastic melted down cheaply into bags.
sorry this ain’t china it’s taiwan.
this is some normal neighbor. If you live in a nice area you don’t have to do this.
( I never walked out to wait for the trash truck, we got workers take care of our stuff).
No need to go that fancy. The Netherlands have dumpsters that actually lead into underground collection containers. Keys are handed out to residents in the neighborhood. In Austrian cities every apartment block has a garbage room where the dumpsters are. They are collected once per week. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages of course.
The times I had to explain to my live stream chat that there’s no ice cream truck coming.
they should just start serving ice cream too at this rate.
 
Why do they wait for the garbage truck?
No garbage on the ground.
we also need to buy the trash bags.
Each city has their own colors for bags.
Instead of being taxed for trash service, buy bags and wait to throw on the truck.
There are very few public waste bins.
The garbage truck doesn’t stop.
You have to throw your trash in as it passes.
So it plays the song so you know it’s coming and can catch it as passes.
Also it runs every single day, multiple times a day, so your garbage doesn’t pile up either.
Way more efficient, no garbage sitting on the street, don’t need more garbage workers who often get injured hauling trash loads.
It also incentivizes people to recycle a lot more.
In fact, it will stop, but in some areas you need to buy government garbage bags.
It stops at specific places, but the music is to alert you that it's time. What's wrong with that? Some people have a busy schedule.
It's only 5 days a week, not every day. And it only seems like multiple times because a different truck runs down the other side of the street.
 
I don't get it- they need to bring the trash to the truck themselves?
yes. We need to purchase the bags. This prevents being taxed for trash service.
Unless you live in a condo with a basement and you pay property maintenance fee.
(It’s not compulsory for everyone). 你還要付財產維修費。 (這並不是每個人必修)
Better apartments and gated communities all have workers which take care of it for us. 
gated Verb. 有門禁的;不許進入的。社區都有工人為我們照顧。
We still need to sort it ourselves though.  但我們還是需要自己分類。
And as an American living in Taiwan, I don't see where there's a problem. Trash pickup in the US was way less efficient than here in Taiwan.
而身為一個住在台灣的美國人,我不知道哪裡有問題。 美國的垃圾拾獲效率比台灣的這裡還低。
 
The times I had to explain to my live stream chat that there’s no ice cream truck coming.
they should just start serving ice cream too at this rate.
 
This is the highest form of respect for music!
 
Indian trucks too.
Then please change your name because it is an Indian name.
Boy abusing India and Indians deletes his comment after being pointed out that his name is - drum roll - 鼓滾
 
This looks really fucking inconvenient what's the point your trying to make? That public domain music if in fact used publically?
@oliviazira I'm an American who has lived here for decades.
What cesspool did you crawl out from that you dare to call this inconvenient?
It's always been very convenient. Go do your own thing and leave intelligent people alone.
我是一個在這裡生活了幾十年的美國人。 你從哪個污水池爬出來你敢這樣叫不方便? 一直都很方便。 去做你自己的事,讓聰明的人獨自一人。
Preach 👏People who have never been will always have the most shit to say as if they lived there for decade.
傳道👏 從來沒有去過的人永遠會說得最多的話 . . . . .好像在那裡生活了幾十年 . . . . .
ctomfly Leaving trash in bins is a cesspool? Idk I prefer the European trash catacombs over everything else bit that is closer to a cesspool than what they do in America.   把垃圾留在 bins 是污水池嗎? 比起他們在美國做的事,我更喜歡歐洲垃圾地下墓穴,我更喜歡歐洲垃圾地下墓穴。
 
At least the truck stopped here. When I was visiting and had to help my relos they didn't stop and you had to have pretty good accuracy throwing the bag in.
saw some ppl do that and looks brutal.
 
I’ve seen it with my eyes…so amazing.
honestly it’s so efficient.
Yup!
 
Hat’s of to Taiwanese for being disciplined. Not just referring to trash disposal but in general. They’re very helpful too, based on my experience.
台灣人的帽子是因為被紀律。 不只是指垃圾處理,而且一般來說。根據我的經驗,他們也很有幫助。
hats off*.
 
Respect to both.
 
This is also the official music for ice cream truck.
Here im Brazil is the truck that delivers gas.
As an American that’s lived in Taiwan a few years and literally does this and it’s just normal now for me, it’s so funny reading peoples reactions who’ve never seen this. Reminds me of times when this was so new to me.
作為一個在台灣生活了幾年的美國人,字面意思是這樣做,對我來說現在只是正常的,閱讀從未見過這種情況的人們反應真是太有趣了。
讓我想起這對我來說是如此新奇的時候。
 
Wooooowwww... no leaking bags nor complaining people. 沒有漏包也沒有抱怨人
 
In India this song is used by ice cream trucks or mini trucks in reverse gear majorly.  迷你卡車主要用倒車檔
 
We have the same thing in Iran when trucks come and pick up old appliances.
 
We have in lifts also.
This is the only music you will never get bored or irritated even if you have to listen it daily repeatedly.
It is not insult. It's a way of showing respect.
 
In 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, our ice cream trucks use this.
 
There's no such thing as Garbage day, in fact it's more about No Garbage Day since 5 days a week there's garbage trucks ready for your trash except Wednesday and Sunday.
 
Our city in the Philippines used to have this same symphony for garbage trucks. That until politicians learned to create their own jingles.
菲律賓的城市曾經有這種垃圾車的交響曲。 直到政治人物學會自己創造叮嚀
 
In the Philippines, you will hear this song when trucks are in reverse.
 
It was the school bell when i was in elementary school. In Turkey.
 
Nah in my place this sound is used for ice cream vehicle.
 
its actually not that bothersome, when you live in taiwan its fine.      其實沒那麼麻煩,當你住在台灣時,它就好了
The people complaining must just hate freedom.
 
For those that don't live in gated communities, this is a daily early evening event throughout Taiwan. Gated community residents avoid this noise & inconvenience.
 
Garbage trucks in the philippines also played that in the 80s. When you hear it, it's time to take out the trash.
 
Bro this response is pavloved into me. Like I hear fur elise and my brain immediately says it's garbage time.
 
Worst than Japan?
っは?何を言ってるんのお前?  什麼? 你在說什麼?
 
Tough competition to Indian truck drivers huh....
 
In the Philippines when I was younger that was also the jingle.. “Tapon, Tapon, Tapon nyo, Basura nyo, e Tapon nyo.. Tapon, Tapon, Tapon… means throw away 3x your garbage, throw you..
it must work really well cuz garbage was everywhere when I went there on a dare.
 
Beethoven’s music doesn’t pay royalties.
 
Wait you go there to throw..no pickup truck?    等你去那裡扔.. 沒有皮卡車?
In Singapore, a smaller country but we don't do that. It's way more convenient.
 
That's the sane sound of the trash truck in my small town in Colombia xd.
這是我哥倫比亞的小鎮垃圾車的理智聲音
 
 
Lucky you. In some places in Mexico we only have a bell that rings once before the truck passes by, 5 min, 10 min.... Who knows.
幸運的你。 在墨西哥的某些地方,我們只有一個鈴聲,在卡車經過之前,5分鐘,10分鐘.... 誰知道。
 
you’ll see this.
I was literally reading about musical garbage truck of Taiwan just a few days ago omg.
 
Ok someone please explain why these people are all lining up. Does every person in the city have to personally hand every small bag to a garbage man? Every day? I lived in Taipei in the late 80s and never saw this.
好吧,有人請解釋為什麼這些人都在排隊。 難道全城每個人都要親自把每個小包交給垃圾佬嗎? 每天? 80年代末我住在台北,從未見過這個。
you buy the bag and bring it down when it's full. Could be that larger estates have centralized collection.
你買包包,滿了就帶下去。 可能是較大的莊園集中收集
my neighborhood just had huge piles of bags with rats and cats at a certain open spot everyone used.
我的社區剛剛在某個開放的地方有大堆包包裡有老鼠和貓,大家都用過

I guess it's simply another lifestyle but must suck to wait for the garbage truck.

But i like the fact that they can't leave garbage on the street.

Didnt know that type of garbage collect.

我想這只是另一種生活方式,但必須糟透了才能等垃圾車。
但我喜歡他們不能把垃圾留在街上。
不知道那種垃圾收集
no need to wait.
You can hear the music from like two streets away, grab the bad and slowly go down to the street.

Why can’t America just be American?
Because American sucks.
Exactly, this a immigrant country now.
So I can safely assume you do not consume tacos, pho, ramen, sashimi, peanut butter, chow mein, mei fun, hot dogs, fried chicken, bbq, apple pie, pizza, bagels, goulash, tempura, bacon, potato salad, french fries or caesar salads? None of those foods can be accredited to American minds. From food to freedom, one of the reasons America exists today is immigration. :)
America was build by immigrants.
Always has been America isnt called a melting pot for no reason.
Do you even know what America and American culture is.
 
Why is it always Western culture that has to be diversified?
because your food are all bland and dry.
dont confuse us with Brits.
What's wrong with being diversified?
enjoy your plastic fish fingers bud.
But British culture is a Western culture isn't it?
You know we've Americanized sushi, right?
 
What a terrible idea!!

Luv this.

Is he really Taiwanese? Americans don’t know only about 1/2 of the people of Taiwan are Taiwanese My wife was born in Taiwan and speaks fluent Taiwanese, but she is only 1/2 Taiwanese. Her father is from JiangSu, JiangSu-ese, and he does not speak Taiwanese When I served in the ROC Navy on Taiwan, none of our officers were Taiwanese The current government wants to make everyone speak Taiwanese. They will cause their own military to revolt.

Well, there were the natives before the Kuomintang fled to Taiwan after the civil War but they are now one nation and call themselves Taiwanese. I have one friend who's bloodline is full Taiwanese and another who's grand parents fled to there and I know there's always been that divide where the full bloods look down up them but just like in America, we need to stand united. This country was built on the backbones of immigrants and now you got people who want them all out and it's a shame.

It's food, my guy.

I would buy the products...good luck.

To my Taiwanese friends here, check out Didi (little brother) that comes out July 26th in the US.

Parts of it was filmed at the park across the street from me and it's a coming of age story about a Taiwanese-American teen learning and discovering himself.

looks delicious.

If it's chinese, it's bad though...

It's Taiwanese not chinese.
Chinese and Taiwanese food have a lot of overlap..this is like saying Lousiana food isn't American food.
Taiwanese are literally Chinese, unless they are actually indigenous people of Taiwan, and even then if you look back far enough they came from China...
My point is, they can't label this Chinese food, otherwise people would throw a hissy fit.
you're right. They can maybe label it as taiwanese style twinkies or pop tarts?
you lost the plot.
My man, you clearly made no point at all and the fact you can’t even distinguish Chinese and Taiwanese.
what plot? what is your point?

looks nasty asf probably full of plastic.

American food are inedible anyways.

There is a tyrant cop that works for Madera police department that is trying to ruin my life he follows me around 24 hours a day.

Taiwanese food is definitely the best in my opinion. I've been to many countries like US, Spain, France, Japan, Thailand, Russia, Ukraine plus many others and now I am in Serbia. I really wish they had Taiwanese restaurants here in Belgrade.

Looks tasty and healthy.

This is him making “American” food more Asian. If you don’t want it, don’t buy it 句點 go eat your highly fatty and processed burger and hot dogs then.

did americans just realize that rest of the world give their kids real food or something.

Taiwanese food is top notch. translate: 頂呱呱的,第一流的.

14 yr Old Girl Transports Lawn Equipment-Homemade Lawn Cart
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lh6N4V8kUH4
 
everyone has been asking me a ton of
questions about the lawn cart that I
bring around my neighborhood and telling
me to do a video of it in 2022 me and my
older brother Lincoln who is now 15
started a mowing business my mom
originally drove us everywhere in our
old car but when you have seven kids
then life gets
busy so after one year of her driving us
around my dad designed this trailer for
us in 2023 so that my mom could have
time with the other
kids I knew I wanted to mow Lawns
because one you make a lot of money for
it two it would teach me a lot about how
to take care of a lawn and work ethic
and three it would keep me accountable
and active during the
summer a lot of kids nowadays don't know
how to make money when they don't have a
driver's
license but if you are driven enough to
get out there you can do anything
whether it's mowing or not a wise person
once told me that all you have to do is
plan the plan plan the work and work the
plan but there was one problem how do I
get all this equipment to my Lawns you
build a trailer now you can easily haul
all this equipment to your customers
homes when we built the carart we
ordered matching bike tires so it would
be the same height as the rest of the
trailer my dad built the base of the
cart and the rest we welded together at
a local fabrication shop
[Music]
TR we have a weer trimmer blower and
mower which is all from I love their
equipment because it's all electric and
the mower is so when my dad designed the
trailer he bought this trailer bag so
that our string trimmer and our s edger
could stay securely in place when I get
to my launch and I need to get them out
all I do is push this backwards and take
it out like
this once I pop it out like this then I
can pop the other side out and then go
start to trim or Edge
sides I really like this mod because
it's easy to adjust you can put more
batteries in it and it
s on this side of the trer we have extra
battery holders for the days that we
have more launch them
have a big toil of string trim when you
run out of string for your
weed on this side of the trailer we have
our bucket that holds all the small
tools like the bike
lock trash
bags wire cutter um
gloves our
um our business cards
glasses and
water now you might be wondering how we
attach the cart to our bike we raded on
this hook to the bike seat that this
clip can easily slide into just like how
I'm showing

EV in Los Angeles well never work like other country, look at our subway system....just bad correction very bad...hmmm what well work......nothing
What a great system.
This removes entirely the excuses of those that say the batteries take too long to charge.
What is the cost to swap the batteries?
Does it compare to what gasoline/petrol costs for the distance traveled?
Is it less expensive or similar or worse more expensive?
With a country that doesn't really see the harsh winters that North America and northern Europe sees, this system works well open air like that.
But at least here in Canada - I can see this not catching on as scooters are not that popular due to the many months of the year it's just not practical to ride. However, India this could be a great system there.
Actually this system is going to fail because the company unable to keep all batteries in fresh.
Electric scooter make sense since you have shorter commute and you don't have to pull anything.
But a car if they want to get away from fossil fuels then they need to look at something else them battery!!
You are not going to pull a travel trailer cross country with something electric!!
electric is only clean if the source generation is clean too. and you want noise on a vehicle invisible to cars.   inˈvizəb(ə)l
We could switch tomorrow if people weren't so car brained.    把(頭髮)編成辮子;把……編成穗帶;(用飾帶等)鑲綴 ...

they could avoid the tariffs.
these look like a better deal than a electric bike.

In America we only care about ourselves. So this will never happen.
I presume he uses an American passport to fly thru the ME?   prēˈzo͞om  thru  THro͞o 通過;穿越(同through)
All the batteries would be stolen in a matter of days here in the US.
a matter of days meaning  
"in a matter of days" means something can be done in a very short space of time.
It doesn't take more than a few days to do something.
That was fascinating, I knew nothing about Gogoro.
Agree the faster we can transition to electric, the better.
I can hardly stand the fumes in my small city,    (濃重難聞,有時有害的)煙,煙霧,氣。
let alone the health concerns of all thie pollution of gas powered engines.
Sorry to be picky, but did Gogoro pay for the trip?
hope i can ride in africa.
I like, this is how it should be. 1 minute.
By tesla drivers sit, wait, charge 2 hours.
I'm in Taiwan, I opted for gas powered motorcycle because I don't like how scooters look... Haha...
I could not find where the application is for the rifle of the e-bike I could use it to go to the store and to make errands because I live on a fixed income when I am on oxygen Hindi e-bike would help me okay for now let me know if you can where I have to fill the application of train have a nice day may God bless you in your family.
What if batteries get stolen?
They don’t, they won’t work outside the system. Also if your scooter gets stolen, it will lock up the first time they try to swap batteries, making it useless to steal them, so no one steals Gogoro scooters.
Too expensive in our country.
I would buy the scooter from Gogoro, but they don’t answer any mails from me.

Great video. I appreciate you keeping us on the cutting edge of electrification of things.
Silly questio:do you save money if you live near a battery swap and can leave your batteries in the swap?
No it would't matter, you can’t leave batteries in the swapping station because you always have two of them (or one for the small scooters)
At the battery swap station som of the battery handles were slide in with he handles horizontal. Why?
Just depends how they were put in by the last rider. Either way works.
This was one of the best e-bike type videos I've seen in a long time. Perhaps I missed it, but do you have to TRADE IN the batteries for newly charged ones? OR Can you recharge the batteries at home?
You can recharge at home, but almost no one does. You don’t actually own the batteries either. The scooters are cheaper to buy because you’re borrowing the batteries, basically.
Great answer. Thanks. One more question...when will this be available in the USA?
I don’t foresee it coming to the US anytime soon, unfortunately. Their business model makes more sense in areas with high ridership percentages. There are so few motorcyclists in the US compared to Asia and Europe that I think it will be a while.
Din Tai Fung and great travel video! as for the scooter, i don't like scooter since they are less stable than motorcycles. High powered / fast scooters, not a good idea in my personal opinion.
Thanks! And to each his own, lots of people find them more stable and comfortable from being able to flat foot it at stops and sitting more upright. Different strokes for different folks!
 
Why did you choose hebrew in the ticket machine? Does it give a discount? 希伯來語, 希伯來人。

Hey. Question, especially since you were just in Tel Aviv :
Gogoro has deployed swap stations in Israel about a year ago,
but I have not seen a single scooter on the road.
Now, I see those stations being removed.
Do you know what is happening with gogoro in IL?
Yes, in Tel Aviv, the swap stations were operated by the Paz gas station network.
But after a year they pulled out so unfortunately there are only two swap stations in the city now (at Gogoro dealers).
I see Gogoro scooters riding around all the time.
I ride one and the other day me and another Gogoro were side by side at a red light.
interesting. I haven't seen even one all this time.
I wonder what happened with the Paz partnership..

I’m not sure about paz, but I’m guessing they just didn’t see as much profits from battery swapping compared to selling oil, those manyakim.
I finally saw some gogoro scooters for sale today.
Guess they really do exist.
I can't really agree with you on the Paz "accusation". ˌakyəˈzāSHən   指控,控告;指責;譴責。
They have a good and reliable charging network here, and are investing quite a lot in it.
 
The battery stations are genius.
there is no reason to steal (stole stolen)them because its so easy to get new ones replaced then be charged for the battery power you use.
if some are stolen they will just be charged for.
 
Maybe I missed it in the video.
How much do they cost to swap, and how much do the scooters cost to buy.
Also I'm curious how long it takes to charge those depleted batteries. 用盡;使減少;耗盡……的資源(精力等);使空虛
 
I am more than curious about the Pulse, a few things I need to know, first off, will it come to the US?
Second, can you charge at home and bring spare batteries to avoid using their battery stations and paid plans?
And lastly, what is the final USD price on these things?
I keep coming up with different totals, $3000 would be the sweet spot to make me save and pull the trigger, any higher and I'd just look into a Chrome Night.
 
how diffiult would it be to charge a 48v ebike battery with a victron MPPT?
 
I noticed on the battery swap stations, that most of the battery handles were vertical but some were horizontal. Any particular reason?
They can go in either direction, that’s basically an indication of which way is more comfortable for the person who swapped that battery last.
 
This was one of the best e-bike type videos I've seen in a long time. Perhaps I missed it, but do you have to TRADE IN the batteries for newly charged ones? OR Can you recharge the batteries at home?
You can recharge at home, but almost no one does.
You don’t actually own the batteries either.
The scooters are cheaper to buy because you’re borrowing the batteries, basically.
Great answer. Thanks. One more question...when will this be available in the USA?
I don’t foresee it coming to the US anytime soon, unfortunately.
Their business model makes more sense in areas with high ridership percentages. 數量, 百分比,百分率, 好處, 好處,利益。
There are so few motorcyclists in the US compared to Asia and Europe that I think it will be a while.
 
I'm live in Taiwan now and also a gogoro rider,I think the only drawback of it is too expensive,
I'm riding the cheapest model in gogoro, still need to pay 499NTD per month for the battery subscription and scooter price is 59900NTD.
 
where do i buy one in the us?
 
have we all been spelling your name wrong this whole time or did the airport spell it wrong??? lol great video dude.
 
Do gogoro make a pedal bike with ok pedaling geometry too?
 
It's a shame laws in the US have basically made mopeds irrelevant.
In many states you still have to be 16 years old just like a normal car to drive yet they also have a speed restriction of 25-28mph depending on the state.
It makes them have basically no advantages at all absolutely killing their value in the market.
Plus some states also require a separate license, though usually it's a one time thing with no test.
If you had anything faster it has to be registered as a motorcycle and you now need a motorcycle license and insurance.
That just ruins the benefits of it if it has all the complications of a car without the ability to drive in the rain.
 
Dude! You are royalty there. They treat you so well.
This vlog was incredible and swap system across there is seemless.
We all could learn so much. Keep on vloggin.
 
Andy Gibbs - Bee Gees looks like him in the video.
 
Congrats Matthew, do we have to enter every time or is our entry always there for the next one?
 
I'm an OApensioner from Wales in the UK. ˈpenSH(ə)nər   領養老金者;受僱傭者;受豢養者.
Love your videos, been watching them for ages.
Do they sell Gogoro's latest scooter in UK as getting my leg over my Honda Rebel is getting high on impossible and whilst I'd love a touring Zero the pricing is still not justified?
Keep keeping us informed.
 
Please show more in depth on the factory if you can.
 
Where can we buy that scooter.
 
very interesting system been reading on the so1 scooter and so4 car use same batteries removable.
 
The swap system looks great, Do you know if they have plans to come to the US?
 
Seems like a good deal overall.
 
So.. the user has to purchase the scooter first, then a monthly subscription to the battery swap service?
What are the associated costs involved?
Can a user recharge their scooters at home, is there an advantage to do so?
The food looked amazing! You should do more trips like this.
Yes! Very good questions. Love to know the answers. I’m sure gas is not free…
Yea but you also save money by not buying the batteries (you only buy the scooter).
The subscription varies on the level you choose.
It starts as low as $7 month.
Back home I own a Gogoro scooter and my subscription was around $35 month
 
I wish there was a system like this for scooters in my city.
 
Amazing battery system. Do they work in any brand scooter in Taiwan?
Other companies can build their scooters to fit Gogoro batteries.
You can seem some Yamaha and other brands scooters in the video.
 
Great (travel) video. Yes Taiwan is awesome.
Gogoro doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue I have to say lol Awesome products though!
 
Future scooter companies can collaborate with gogoro so we can start to see a universal battery swapping system which may make EVs an actual viable option for super long distance travel.
 
For anyone experiencing jet lag, stand bearfoot outside while the sun sets. Preferably with the sun in view. I like to sip tea while I do this. It will help your body recognize it's time to sleep. Not always 100% effective for everyone, but it typically helps.
 
Amazing trip, I enjoyed the clips showing us around the Taipei! I love the look of thoser Gogoro scooters, I wish they would come to the US (especially with that charging network). Do you have any specs on that Pulse scooter? Range? Top speed?
 
Great vid, Taiwan is such a nice place to visit, very efficient public transport but lots of scooters. Would have been interesting to know how much distance between battery swaps and if the mountain ascent had any significant impact on the duration of charge - but gives me something to look up!
 
Can't wait for the next episode where you go to Taitwo.
 
this looks like lots of fun! and taiwan must have been one heck of an experience, oh and that airplane meal looked good,was that sweet-potato?
 
Love the hot swap idea. Are they Lifepo4 batteries. Also your ebikeforgood is it a world wide giveaway. I live in sunny Australia.
 
nice bike cool charging system and the scooter high way.
 
I never thought id want a electric scooter but with swappable battery station that could even be set up at gas stations that changes the game on a hole new level.
 
I want this in my town!
 
The thumbnail looks like The Price is Right punch game.
 
110% E-Go so we can breath fresh air again!
 
Cant wait to see this concept in the us with ebikes.
We need hot swap stations so we are not waiting for hrs at a time to charge.
 
I had a fun watching this video thanks for the great video.
 
This trip looks like it was so much fun. Thanks for sharing it.
This trip is now officially on my bucket list, haha.
Those swappable battery electric scooters in a big city who's infrastructure is built with scooters in mind is incredible.
So many cars that don't need to be driving where a scooter is all that is needed to get around.
 
NY just started started test piloting 2 ebike swap stations.
Not sure how well it'll work out since theres so many types of ebikes and batteries out.
 
I wish to experience the fun you are going.thanks for the share.
 
Great video, you should do more like that. You did a good job.
 
That was a fun video filled with so much content! I think more trip videos may be in your future!
 
Thanks for the info, look like you had a lot of fun . Keep it coming.
 
Great Video as always. Thanks for sharing.
 
Sick !!!! Looks like a fun ride, hope you enjoyed the trip. That’s dedication!
 
Cool look into Taiwan.
 
Cannot wait for this to come out in the UK.
 
WOW, what a scooter.
 
Awesome video,
I'm a fan of Gogoro and can't wait to see them progress with more success.
I wish we had electric scooter only highways here in the states.
 
Taiwan is the coolest place on the other side of the Pacific (I'm in Oregon).
Love working with my friends from there; some day I hope to visit!
 
Oh my, your videos are dangerous to my financial situation, I already have a cargo e-bike and a cruiser type, but now I want a Gogoro scooter.
I would love to see a system like this in the US, maybe even for cars with swappable batteries.
 
Taiwan looks like one incredible country! I’m sure that it has some problems like every country in the world. It makes me very happy to see how you screen your free drawings so that your giveaways only go to those in the most need! Thank you so much Micah! It’s awesome to see you back home with your wife in Tel Aviv!
 
This is such a great idea. Delivery riders would probably love these scooters, but I would love it, also, as a commuter vehicle.
 
Very cool video. Loved seeing the Taiwan trip and those Gogoros are so cool.
 
Your travel double backpack is amazing.
Yes I’ve used it since 2019 and it’s still in great condition. Best travel bag I’ve ever had.
 
Hello, hi there! I am one of the first 50 global owners of a Gogoro. Welcome to Taiwan to experience this advanced and cool electric scooter and battery swapping system. For nearly nine years, I have ridden my Gogoro 1 all over Taiwan, checking in at battery swap stations, and have accumulated over 220,000 kilometers. I hope you have the opportunity to ride a Gogoro around Taiwan and complete a round-island journey.
220,000 kilometers is more than most cars would do in 9 years.
 
Thanks for the video. I live in New Zealand and have just upgraded my ebike battery to 30AH.
 
good choice for a vacation / work destination Taiwan is AMAZING in so many ways. (MTC 1990-1993 making Mandarin my second language), and we have done trips back in 2010, 2014 and 2018. The GOGO RO swap system is fantastic for Taipei. FOOD is amazing, Yamingshan is a GREAT Test. (rode that in the old days on my 125cc Sanyang classic motorcycle) have fun and eat some Beef Noodle Soup Nio ro Mian. If your mountain climb is there on the north side of Taipei there are 7 peaks of around 1100 meters (Taiwan's mountains reach 4000 meters on the tallest one further south) Still very impressive to up there at all on electric scoots. Great riding area, and mirrors are great on the switchbacks to see around the corners a bit for safety. Be sure to return to Taiwan there is far more to see around the island (really multiple islands, but even the main island).
 
That is some impressive scooter power. And I love the swappable battery tech. Looks like you had an interesting time in Taiwan.
 
Taiwan looks fun.
 
What a great opportunity! That was an awesome tour.
 
We need to lobby the company to build a plant in the U.S!
 
Would love this to come to the UK. We so need this sort of swapping capability, whether in bikes or small cars.
it will be stolen instantly.
every country is not us.
 
So awesome to see this! Gogoro's system should be more wide spread!
 
Scooter only highway! Awesome.
 
5:55 The hysterical laughter sells it ... I'd buy one.
 
As the owner of a Gogoro 2 (MY 2017), it's amazing that Gogoro new scooter with TCS control on the sand riding.
 
that battery swap is very very very nice and practical.
 
I spent half the video thinking these were GoPro scooters and was like “wow they make scooters now.” Then I realized I was reading the name wrong.
wtf you made me realize this and im 14 mins in...
 
Hot swap-able battery services seems like such a good concept that would only work in countries where companies are willing to set a standard and collaborate. I would love to see this concept in the US.
1. Car and gas lobiests did not like that.
2. Based on the method of battery swapping in video, the batteries would most likely be stolen if it's in US. .
With lawlessness in US, a lot of nice things won't work even if implemented.
3. Greed in corporate america will not make this concept work.
4. I can already tell that this concept soon will fail when people learn to build things around it. imagine you understand the concept and build a battery pack for you solar panel at home using these batteries? and now you are not just using it for travel instead you are charging your battery in the station and use it to power your house. when these thing happens, people will soon steal these batteries and that is when the concept start to Fail. coz the company will end up losing money from stolen batteries or battery swapped with broken one.
5. This is perfect for Asian countries wer the dominant mode of transpo is a Honda supercub. Wouldnt really be too effective here except for cities with lots of bike and scooters being used already. Which isn't too many places.
6. It looks like these batteries are proprietary to Gogoro.
@chrispek3912  How would this theft work? The swap isn't going to hand just anybody a battery, and you can bet your boopie that they're locked in place.
@ChibiKeruchan  How do you seal one of these batteries? You would have to break into the swap, and it's probably just as tough as an ATM.
7. Swapable batteries mean more weight, less useful volume to fill with batteries and also it means that batteries cannot be a structural part of the motorbike/car, which means more weight and an engineering challenge. That’s why Tesla left the idea behind quickly.

How's life in Taiwan? Living as a foreigner, specifically a U.S citizen? 

I'm mostly concerned about the quality of life. Food, weather, people and expenses...ANYTHING!!! Much appreciated!!!
 
It's phenomenal!! Taiwan has consistently ranked as the top country for expats or in the very top for how many years now? You'll love it.
太奇妙了!! 台灣在外籍人士或極頂國家至今多少年了? 你會喜歡的。
hey are you from Taiwan
American living here as a legal resident.
lies.
ok can we chat privately please.
yeah, no!
lmao spammer.  指Laugh My Ass Off,表面字義為笑掉我屁股,即一件事情非常好笑的意思。寄垃圾郵件的人(或公司);寄廣告信件的人(或公司)。
Annie sandra sent to Jeremy Mandelkern ok send me a friend request.
 
Start learning mandarin now.
DuoLingo is free, or there is a paid version too.
Good luck with that, I've been trying for a few years and still just know a few basics, not enough to converse with yet. It's incredibly difficult.
any suggest on learning tw mandarin? I need to find a way to communicate with them. They dont used English.
 
It is important to know duolingo teaches mainland, not Taiwan Mandarin so it will mess you up, especially on the Chinese characters.
I remember saying zao sheng hao my first morning in Taiwan and quickly learned I could only trust Duolingo so much.
Luckily, I have some background with Japanese which helped with the traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan.
 
It's subjective but quality of life here in Taipei is great!
The MRT and ubikes make getting around easy.
Food is fantastic if you know where to look, lots of noodle dishes, tropical fruit.
便當 are cheap and delicious lunch boxes found all over.
Weather is hot, but winter was surprisingly cool in the north.
Just gotta watch for earthquakes and typhoons.
雖然主觀,但台北的生活品質很棒!
捷運和ubikes可以變得很簡單。
如果你知道哪裡看,食物很棒,很多麵條料理,熱帶水果。
便當都是便宜又美味的便當。 天氣炎熱,但北部的冬天卻出奇地涼爽。
只是要注意地震和颱風。
WHERE TO EAT ?
You said it right.
Suggest new comers go to a Taiwanese "BUFFET" (lunch/dinner).
There's a lot of food choices if you don't like fried foods.
Also, ALL VEGETARIAN "BUFFET".
Pick what you like and pay at the cashier counter.
You can dine in or have the food to-go.
去哪吃?
你說的沒錯。
建議新人去吃台灣的「BUFFET」(午/晚餐)。
如果你不喜歡油炸食物,食物選擇很多。
還有,所有的素食主義“牛肉”。
挑選你喜歡的東西並到櫃台付款。
你可以進去用餐或有食物吃。
I agree, the buffets are great, I often go the the vegetarian ones, they have a lot of fake meat alternatives which are delicious.
And lots of places sell the lunch boxes on the side of the road out front of their restaurant at midday.
我同意,自助餐很棒,我經常去吃素的,他們有很多假肉替代方案很好吃。
很多地方中午在他們餐廳前面賣路邊的便當盒。
 
Food is stunningly good.
Food from all over China, there is also anything you want except Mexican.
Chinese don't "get" salted beans. Typically beans are sweet in Asia.
theee are a few decent Mexican places in Taipei.
Food is good if you know where to buy it.
I would say that half of lunch places that I've gone to had too greasy ingredients or didn't offer too much vegetables.
Same goes for some products in supermarkets, for example breadlike products are just overly sweet.
But overall food may still be better than in some other countries.
如果你知道邊度買,食物就好。
我想說午餐吃到一半食材太油膩或者沒有提供太多蔬菜。
超市的一些產品也是一樣的,例如麵包類產品甜度過高。
但整體而言,食物仍然比其他國家好。
have had some good Mexican in Taiwan in multiple cities.
i agree with the others it is possible to find good Mexican food here but good western bread is very hard to find.
And pray there'll be a Taiwan next year.
are you in Taiwan?
Annie Sandra there are lots of PRC trolls right before the presidential inauguration.  有很多 PRC 巨魔。
here to stir up dissent and trouble.  這裡挑起異議和麻煩。
Annie Sandra I was just recently, why?
Eugène Resh ok can we chat privately I have something to tell you.
Yvonne Kennedy can we chat privately I have something to tell you.
Yvonne Kennedy she's a scam bot....她是個詐騙機器人....
lol and ppl think guys that fall for these sexbots are dumb.  和人們認為這些性愛機器人的男人很蠢
 
US citizen here.
Food is phenomenal, people are great (but you’d benefit from learning some Chinese first).
You can save a ton here too, as long as you aren’t going out clubbing or throwing away money at bars all the time.
I’ve spent time living in China (1 year) and Japan (5 years) and this is by far my favorite place.
I am located in Taipei though, not sure how it’d be in the country side…
美國公民在此。
食物是現象的,人們是偉大的(但你先學一些中文會受益)。
只要你不出去俱樂部或者一直在酒吧扔錢,你也可以在這裡節省一噸。
我在中國(1 年)和日本(5 年)生活過,這是目前為止我最喜歡的地方。
但我位於台北,不確定它會在鄉下怎麼樣...
Jordan Vladic I have been living and working in S. Korea for 5 years and now I am here for almost double time.
I love to stay here and for me Taiwan is the best place to live as expat.
Everything is excellent and so far nothing to complain about except traffic.
我一直在南韓生活和工作。
韓國5年了,現在我來這幾乎兩倍。
我喜歡待在這裡,對我來說,台灣是作為外籍人士的最佳生活地點。
一切都很優秀,目前為止除了交通,沒什麼好抱怨的
Stjepan Svržnjak tjooo guys
so are you with your families over there?
What happens if you die!? You will be buried there?
所以你們和家人在那邊嗎? 如果你死了會怎樣!?
你要葬在那裡?
Nondumiso Kheswa So far I haven't thought about this, but it will be as my family decide, because I will not have a chance to complain about their decision.  到目前為止我還沒想過這個,但會按照家人決定,因為我不會有機會抱怨他們的決定。
Stjepan Svržnjak can i ask what job do you do and if you speak mandarin?  
I am automation engineer and I don't speak Mandarin very well because my profession requires English.
ahhh. So great job. Of course. Probably as a teacher I wouldn’t be so well off there.
Aneta Kocisova Probably.
Stjepan Svržnjak one guy said working in S. Korea he is a teacher and living from paycheck to paycheck. So most probably. Anyway, best of luck.
有人說在S. Korea工作。 韓國他是一名老師,從薪水到薪水生活。 大概是。 總之,祝你好運。
Aneta Kocisova Yea, in S. Korea life is tough, especially for Americans.  韓國生活很艱難,尤其是美國人
Jordan Vladic you can save a ton if you’re on an expat salary. Local salary is a different ballgame.   外籍人士薪水,可以節省一噸。 本地薪資是不同的球賽
 
ball game. 我爬過許多台灣的山,但是喜馬拉雅山絕對是完全另一回事。 The ball's in someone's court. 意思是輪到某人出擊、做出反應;靜觀其變,. 當 ...

A whole new ball game 全新的局面

一場球賽在還未結束之前,沒有人能斷定輸贏,

更何況是一場「全新的球局」,我們的所知是非常有限的。

當在職場上說到 a whole new ball game,不只是強調他的全新,

更是指其含有一定的「困難」及「未知」,令人難以掌握。

【例句】

I have done a lot of mountain climbing in Taiwan, but the Himalayas were a whole new ball game.

我爬過許多台灣的山,但是喜馬拉雅山絕對是完全另一回事。

Jordan Vladic how would you compare Japan vs Taipei?
 
Alan Kasim
If you're on a US salary, your life in Taiwan will be wonderful. However, the worst thing about living in Taiwan for most people are the painfully low local salaries, usually accompanied with a poor work culture (lots of overtime, office politics, etc.). In relation to even most skilled expat salaries, the cost of living in Taipei City is disproportionately high and the quality of buildings is generally low. However, Taipei is very small, so you can save a lot of money and live somewhere far nicer if you're willing to commute a bit. None of this will matter to you if you're working for a US company with a reasonable US salary. If you are, you'll be very comfortable and happy living in the City.
如果你在美國的薪水,你在台灣的生活將會很精彩。
但居住在台灣最糟糕的就是地方薪水低,通常伴隨著工作風氣不佳(很多加班、辦公室政治等) ).
對於即使是多數技能的外籍人士薪資,台北市的生活成本不成比例高,建築品質普遍低。
但台北很小,只要願意通勤一點,就可以省下很多錢,住更好的地方。
如果你在美國公司工作,擁有合理的美國薪資,這些對你來說都不會重要。
如果你是,你在城市生活會很自在和快樂。
Alan Kasim on point!
Alan Kasim buildings are usually of low quality if you pick one of those shabby buildings.
And in the broad sense, if they were all of really poor quality, I reckon a good portion of them would have collapsed when the earthquake hit Hualien in April.
Use common sense, do a lot of research, you should be a be able to find something decent.
Alan Kasim 如果你挑選其中一棟破舊的建築物,建築物通常質量不佳。
廣義來說,如果他們都是素質差的,我想4月份花蓮地震發生的時候,他們中間有一部分應該倒塌了。
用常識,做多多研究,應該可以找到像樣的東西。
Kevin Chuang poor quality may not refer to structure issues .
Buildings often have problems with mold .
Health issues aside leather products tend to get damaged quickly .
If you have such goods it would be wise to pack a quality leather cleaner .
品質差可能不是結構問題。
建築物經常出現霉菌的問題。
除了皮革製品的健康問題往往會很快損壞。
如果你有這樣的商品,包裝優質的皮革清潔劑應該是明智的。
 
Karen Hwa
I'm taiwanese by birth but moved to UK as a child. I recently come back 10 days in Taiwan and felt people were nice in general, everything was organised and v clean. Its also cheaper than Europe and UK to eat out, travel. I don't know the wages in Taiwan so can't comment . Transport on mrt was clean and on time. Public bathrooms v clean compared to UK and I felt safe walking around at night.
The only thing I struggled with was the humidity. If I was younger and didn't have ties in uk I would move back to taiwan. Loved the food
Wasn't all fried stuff. We had hotpots noodles, and I saw lots of other oriental foods. We had sushi as well and it was the best I had. I come back to London and see what an unfriendly city I live in with awful crime rates, bad food that's expensive and a joke of a transport system plus its v dirty.
我出生是台灣人,但小時候移居英國。
最近回來台灣10天,覺得人很好,一切井然有條有條,v乾淨淨。
外食、旅行也比歐洲、英國便宜。
我不知道台灣的工資,所以不能評論。
mrt上的交通很乾淨,很準時。
與英國相比,公共浴室v乾淨,晚上走來走去很安全。
我唯一掙扎的是濕度。
如果我年輕一點,沒有在uk上領帶,我會搬回台灣。
喜歡食物不是所有的炸物。
我們吃火鍋面,我看到很多其他東方食物。
我們也有壽司,這是我吃的最好吃的。
我回到倫敦,看看我居住的一個多麼不友善的城市,犯罪率很高,貴的食物和交通系統的笑話,加上下流。
Emily Hsu
Do u know which city your work will be yet? Although Taiwan is a tiny island, but north and south are a bit different.
你知道你的工作將是哪個城市嗎? 台灣雖然是個小島,但南北有些不同。

Hey Cassie Wilson, all good over here. My Ytube channel shares all of the topics you mentioned about Taiwan. Feel free to take a look (might not be able to share link so here’s an image of the channel).
Stay cool!
嘿 Cassie Wilson ,這裡一切都好。 我的Ytube頻道分享了你提到台灣的所有話題。 隨時看看(可能無法分享連結,所以這是頻道的圖片)。保持冷靜!

I'm American and have been living in Taiwan for more than 10 years, the cost of living, healthcare, ease of transportation, and quality of produce and things like that are absolutely exceptional. I don't live in Taipei.
我是美國人,在台灣居住了10多年,生活費用、醫療保健、交通便利、農產品品質之類的,絕對是卓越的。 我不住在台北。
what part are you in Taiwan.
Annie Sandra Annie you are a Chinese citizen not an American citizen.
Hsinchu
where are you from
Annie Sandra Originally Pennsylvania, but I moved here from Oakland.
George Klopper with a fake profile.
Annie Sandra AEIOU=an are you a American or an American.
George Klopper an American but currently in Taiwan.
Ian Eichelberger I am glad to hear your feedback as an American. I am also from the USA and have been thinking about moving to Taiwan. I have been a few cities in Taiwan as a tourist. Love the food and culture there.
As an American moving aboard, medical quality and cost are most concerning matter. Especially, when I am not a citizen there. How do you rate their dental and medical CP value?
我很高興聽到你們作為美國人的反饋。 我也來自美國,一直在想要搬來台灣。 身為觀光客,在台灣當過幾個城市。 喜歡那裡的食物和文化。
作為一個美國人搬上船,醫療品質和成本最重要。 尤其是,當我不是公民時。 他們的牙科和醫療CP值如何評價?
Vickey Lee It's fantastic, dental x rays for $5.
I got my APRC last year (permanent residency).
Vickey Lee It's fantastic, dental x rays for $5.    last year (permanent residency).
Ian Eichelberger no way. I suspected it would be cheaper. (Where could be more expansive than US medical cost!) Are you sure? You must have the government medical plan or something.  
Vickey Lee Yes, standard universal healthcare.  是的,標準的全民醫療保健
Average copay for Dr is between 180- 240 NTD depending on if you are seeing a specialist. I spent about $800 NTD last time I went to the ER.
博士的平均copay介於180-240 NTD之間,視你是否看到專科醫生而定。 上次去ERR花了大概800美元台幣
So thats like ehh $5.50- 7.50, and the ER was $24.
Ian Eichelberger congratulations. Life is even better there being APRC.
Ian Eichelberger I paid at least US $20 copay for a non specialist Dr visit. That is ~$650NT for today's exchange rate. A hospital stay with my PPO plan was ~$3000 per day in last Sept. 
What a blessing of you to have the Taiwan government coverage. 我至少支付了 US $20 美元的訪問。 就是今天匯率$650NT 去年九月,我的PPO計劃住院一天是~$3000。
Vickey Lee Yeah, well if you have your ARC and need coverage, just go to the insurance office next to the hospital and register.  
如果你有你的ARC,需要保障,只要到醫院旁邊的保險處登記
Ian Eichelberger I don't have and won't be qualified to have APRC.  I was hoping it could still be affordable for non resident.
我沒有,也沒有資格擁有APRC。 我希望非居民仍然可以負擔得起。
Ian Eichelberger sorry. II really didn't mean to occupy your time to answer my ignorant questions. It is late evening there already. Please enjoy your evening and don't bother to continue my chat. I am thankful for your hanks feedback as an American already. Appreciated.
抱歉。 我真的不是故意佔據你的時間回答我無知的問題。 已經是傍晚了。 請享受你的夜晚,不要打擾繼續我的聊天。 身為美國人,我很感激你們的Hanks反饋。 感激
 
Ian Eichelberger How long did you need to reside there to get it?  你需要在那裡住多久才能得到?
Toby Betsen 5 years, the pandemic years made it easy.  5年了,大流行的年代很容易
 
terrible traffic. anyone could get hurt or die for traffic accidents.
My car was my main means of transportation the 6 years I was in Taiwan, never got into an accident. Auto is fine. Scooters though…
在台灣的6年,我的車是我主要的交通工具,從未發生過意外。 自動就好。 但滑板車...
 
Great food and great people and great vibe in Taipei. People are also mostly honest but for some reason like to pretend they don’t carry guns everywhere. Yeah right, a country thinking to defend itself against commies invading without a 2nd Amendment type of thing.
很棒的食物和很棒的人和很棒的台北氛圍。 人們也大多誠實,但出於某種原因,喜歡假裝自己不帶槍到處走。 是的,一個國家認為捍衛自己抵禦共同入侵,沒有第二修正案類型的事情?
 
I love Taiwan food best. Din Tai Fung restaurants are cool.
don't have to come to Taiwan for thatz Din tai fung is everywhere now.
what do you mean everywhere ? I came to Taiwan since 2006 almost every every year. They have Din Tai Fung in siangapore too. My point is that Taiwan has exellent food far better than america for sure( only My opinion )
There’s Din Tai Fung in Thailand, Malaysia, America... plus America has food from everywhere else, so doesn't that mean food in America is better?
A US citizen haha
About traffic, scooter and bicycle accidents are the largest source of accidental U.S. citizen deaths in Taiwan, as scooters often fail to obey traffic laws or follow generally accepted driving practices.
Although pedestrians have the right of way in marked crosswalks, drivers often do not yield; therefore, it is incumbent on pedestrians to check for traffic when at crosswalks.
關於交通、滑板車和自行車事故是美國公民在台灣的最大意外死亡來源,因為滑板車經常不遵守交通法律或遵循一般接受的駕駛做法。
雖然行人有標線人行道的路權,但駕駛人往往不屈服;因此,行人在人行道時,檢查交通是有行人。
And if you drive on your own, you have faced aggressive driving, unprovoked road rage, road blocking and unmotivated police officers. Each day, around 9 lives, are lost on the roads, with over 539,000 injuries yearly.
如果你自己駕駛,你就面對了攻擊性駕駛、無端的路怒、阻路和無上進的警察。 每天大約有9條生命在道路上迷失,每年超過539,000人受傷。
To be honest, quality of life is superior in America as salary, with opportunities, healthcare and safety are definitely better.
老實說,在美國的薪水生活品質是優越的,有機會,醫療保健和安全肯定更好。
There is a problem of quality of environment..if you don't care bout it it's a nice place. If you like clean peaceful politeness and harmony.dont try.
環境品質有問題.. 如果你不在乎,那是個好地方。 如果你喜歡乾淨和平的禮貌和諧。 不要嘗試。
it really depends on where you are from in US. In general, public transportation is good and traffic is always a mess, so don't drive. Living cost is low, but not housing. Food is good (great to me!) if you like Asian food. Weather is hot and humid - just think the opposite of LA. And he best part is health care - affordable and accessible.
真的取決於你來自美國。 一般來說,大眾交通工具好,交通總是一團糟,所以不要開車。 生活成本低,但不是住房。 食物很好(對我來說太棒了! 如果你喜歡亞洲食物。 天氣炎熱潮濕 - 只是想想洛杉磯相反。 而他最棒的是醫療保健 - 價格實惠又可取得。
Kaohsiung is better, we live and work there almost decade, ASE Company.
Health care, transportation, cost of living, people around u, better than Taipei for aby other city
As an American that grew up in both east and west coast and 5 other developed countries, Taipei is the best city I've ever lived in. The only problems I have are: weather, crazy riders and drivers, and my career doesn't exist here. Even the Michelin restaurants here are way cheaper than back in the States.
You are foreigner from rich country so everything will be fine.
However more and more taiwanese young people are leaving and working at other countries for higher salaries and life.
 
Maroš Axamit
I am writing this as a European living in Taipei, Ximen.
Food: 3 out of 10. Although generally much cheaper than in the USA or Europe, it is quite difficult to cook because kitchens are poorly equipped and many Taiwanese cannot cook. Food is generally nor tasty, neither healthy. On the other hand, there are hundreds of cheap, small restaurants everywhere. Fruits and vegetables in supermarkets are extremely expensive (at least compared to Europe).
Weather: Warm and humid; summer is really hot. If you prefer warmer weather and do not like freezing winters, you will like it. In summer, you have many "friends" like cockroaches, mosquitoes, geckos (they are cute), and recently a 10 cm long huntsman spider came to visit us 😃 (4 out of 10).
People: Usually very nice when you meet them. Life is not as stressful as in countries like Japan, Korea, or Europe. Taiwanese are chill. However, it is difficult to make close friends. All but 2-3 of my friends here are foreigners (from Europe, America, Southeast Asia, Japan, and Korea), and those 2-3 have lived abroad. The culture and mentality are much different than in Europe, and they will never consider you one of them, even though you speak fluent Mandarin and have lived here for a long time, because you are white. However, many Taiwanese want to learn English and/or find a white partner, so it is easy to find a boyfriend/girlfriend or a language partner. Also, some of them really like foreigners, especially Americans and Europeans, so sometimes, especially outside Taipei, you can feel like a star (though it is not as extreme as in other Asian countries). Most foreign girls I know here have experienced stalking and harassment, and those boys do not take a simple "NO" for an answer. My advice: If you experience that, shout, fight back. Another thing (and this is the same in other Asian countries too): If you are in danger/need, people around are hardly going to help you because they do not want to intervene in other people's affairs. Once, I was attacked by a drunk man with a broken glass bottle, and other people just stood around and watched (he wasn’t a threat to me, and when I pushed him back he almost fell down and stopped, but I find it interesting that they did not feel they should do something). EDIT: I need to add that Taiwan is considered to be much safer than US (6 out of 10)
Administrative: This is a pain. Taiwanese strictly follow rules, even if those rules are 100% irrational and useless. The system is really old; almost every document needs to be delivered by yourself in paper form, and they will try to convince you to use this stamp instead of a signature. Official websites look like they're from 1995 (that is not an exaggeration), and there is no demand to change this. Be ready for this. However, a lot of administrative workers are nice, so at least you do not feel so stupid that you do not understand the system 😃. And they also have volunteers, willing to help you in offices. (1 out of 10)
Language: If you are going to stay here for a long time, I would recommend learning some Mandarin. You can use English, but it is pretty limited (though better than in other Asian countries). I personally couldn't imagine myself living here without Mandarin. (5 out of 10 for English speakers)
Services: Some services, such as convenience stores, deliveries, MRT (subway/underground), trains, and cinemas, are above average for sure. Not much to complain about here. (9 out of 10). EDIT: Healthcare and hospitals in general are on the high end.
Cities: You have many public toilets and drinking fountains - that is cool, too. But hardly any trash cans. Cities are usually not so clean and sometimes kind of smelly. Building are old and ugly (3 out of 10)
Traffic: It is not the worst, but certainly a shock for someone who drives in Europe. You can have a green light for both pedestrians and cars at the same time. There are a lot of motorcycles, some of which ride on the pedestrian path. It is quite wild 😃. They also have this bike service, like we have in Europe (I do not know how common it is in the US), so if you prefer riding a bike, try it. (5 out of 10)
Expenses: Accommodation is expensive, and apartments are usually quite small and old. Flight tickets are quite high, too - because it is the only way to get off the island. As I said, fruits and vegetables are a luxury. But transportation in general (including taxis), restaurants, and basic services are usually much cheaper than in Europe or the US. (5 out of 10)
That's pretty much it. I like to live here, but I couldn't imagine myself living here my whole life. 6 out of 10.
我寫這篇是住在台北西門的歐洲人。
食物:10分之3。 雖然普遍比美國或歐洲便宜很多,但因為廚房設備不佳,很多台灣人不會下廚,所以很難煮飯。 食物一般不美味,既不健康。 另一方面,便宜小餐館上百家。 超市的水果和蔬菜非常昂貴(至少比歐洲)。
天氣:溫暖潮濕;夏天真熱。 如果你喜歡溫暖的天氣,不喜歡冰凍的冬天,你會喜歡它。 夏天,你有很多「朋友」,像蟑螂、蚊子、壁虎(牠們很可愛),最近有一隻長10公分的獵人蜘蛛來探望我們😃(10隻有4隻)。
人:遇到他們通常都很好。 生活壓力不如日本、韓國、歐洲等國家。 台灣人很冷。 可是,很難交到知心朋友。 我的朋友除了2-3個外國人(來自歐洲、美國、東南亞、日本、韓國),還有2-3個都居住在國外。 文化同心態同歐洲差好多,即使你講得一口流利普通話,長期住在這裡,他們永遠不會把你當成其中之一,因為你是白人。 但很多台灣人想學英文、或找白人伴侶,所以很容易找到男/女朋友或語言伴侶。 而且,有些人真的很喜歡外國人,尤其是美國人和歐洲人,所以有時候,尤其是台北以外,可以覺得自己像明星(雖然沒有其他亞洲國家那麼極端)。 我在這裡認識的外國女生大多數都經歷過跟蹤和騷擾,而那些男生並不接受一個簡單的「NO」作答。 我的建議:如果你經歷過,那就大喊,反擊。 另一件事(其他亞洲國家也是這樣):如果你有危險/需要,周圍的人幾乎不會幫你,因為他們不想介入別人的事情。 有一次,我被一個醉漢拿著破玻璃瓶攻擊,其他人就站在旁邊看(他對我沒有威脅,當我推他回去時,他差點跌倒停下來,但我覺得很有趣的是,他們感覺不出來。 應該做點什麼)。 編:我要補充一下,台灣算比美國安全多了(10分有6分)
行政:這是一種痛苦。 台灣人嚴格遵守規則,即使那些規則100%不理性,也沒用。 系統真的老舊了;幾乎每份文件都要自己用紙本形式交付,而且他們會試圖說服你用這個印章而不是簽名。 官方網站看起來像是1995年(不誇張),也沒有要改變這個的要求。 準備好迎接這個。 但好多行政人員都好nice,所以起碼你唔覺得自己蠢到唔懂制度😃。 而且他們也有志願者,願意在辦公室幫助你。 (10分之1)
語言:如果你要在這裡待很久,我會建議學一些普通話。 你可以用英語,但很有限(雖然比其他亞洲國家好)。 我個人無法想像自己生活在這裡沒有普通話。 (英語人士10分之5)
服務:部分服務,如便利商店、送餐、捷運(地鐵/地下道)、火車、電影院,確定高於平均值。 這裡沒什麼好抱怨的。 (10之9)。 編輯:醫療保健和醫院一般處於高端。
城市:你有很多公共廁所和飲用噴泉 - 那也很酷。 但幾乎沒有垃圾桶。 城市通常不是那麼乾淨,有時有點臭。 建築物又老又醜(10分之3)
交通:對在歐洲開車的人來說並不是最糟糕的,但肯定是震驚的。 行人和車輛同時可以綠燈喔 機車很多,有些騎在行人道上。 它是相當野生😃。 他們也有這種自行車服務,像我們在歐洲一樣(我不知道在美國有多常見),如果你喜歡騎自行車,可以試試看。 (10分之5)
開支:住宿費用昂貴,公寓通常相當小和老舊。 機票也相當高~因為這是離島的唯一方法。 我說的,蔬果是奢侈的。 但一般交通(包括計程車)、餐廳和基本服務通常比歐洲或美國便宜得多。 (10分之5)
差不多。 我喜歡住在這裡,但我想不到自己一輩子都住在這裡。 十分之六。
Maroš Axamit super si to napisal. Ak sa mozem opytat co tam robis?你寫的很棒。 如果我可以問問你在那裡做什麼?
謝謝。 我在NTNU讀書
啊哈。 謝謝! 好吧,那是另一個案子。 所以對於一些樸實的生活,它就在那裡
你看不到嗎? 放學後,你想待在那裡還是回家?
 
Maroš Axamit , “fruit and vegetables are a luxury”?!!
I don’t know what kind of salary you are making there by you probably need to make some changes. I can definitely say even local people on a local salary find fruit and veggies dirt cheap in Taiwan!
The OP is from the US, no doubt she will find the price of food as well as everything else there double cheaper than in the US.
Maroš Axamit ,“水果和蔬菜是一種奢侈”?!! “很多台灣人不會做飯。 ”我求不同。
我不知道你在那裡賺什麼樣的薪水,但你可能需要做一些改變。 我絕對可以說,即使是在地薪水在地人也覺得台灣便宜的水果蔬菜土!
OP來自美國,毫無疑問,她會發現食物的價格和其他東西,幾乎比美國便宜的兩倍。
至於說很多台灣人不會煮飯,我覺得那個吃不完的。 我想知道你的來源是哪裡來的。

I was born and raised in Taiwan immigrated to US when I was 14. I have lived about half of my life in one and the other half in another. I can tell u that climate is obviously more comfortable in US. But for someone like
Me who has adjusted so well
To America and now a citizen if I didn’t tell u I am an immigrant u d think I was born in the US I will very much prefer Taiwan for quality of life. Standard of living, insurance, education, diversity, culture, every single aspect I prefer Taiwan. This is a wealthy and extremely safe country. Not like in the US where guns run rampant and lots of idiots white supremacy going on
我在台灣出生長大,14歲時移民美國。 我的人生大約一半,另一半在另一半。 我可以告訴你,在美國的氣候顯然更舒適。 但對於像這樣的人來說
調適得這麼好的我
對美國和現在是公民,如果我沒有告訴你我是移民,你認為我出生在美國,我會非常喜歡台灣的生活品質。 生活水準,保險,教育,多元,文化,每一個方面我都偏愛台灣。 這是一個富裕且極其安全的國家。 不像美國槍枝橫行,很多白癡的白人至上主義在進行
 
 
 
 
Pan-fried Dumplings / Potstickers 鍋貼 (Guōtiē) Fried dumplings or potstickers are also very popular in Taiwan.
They are just pork and fried dough, so I am sure any American would love them at first bite.
Pan-fried Dumplings / Potstickers 鍋貼(Guōtiē) 炸鍋或鍋貼在台灣也很受歡迎。
它們只是豬肉和炸麵團,所以我相信美國人第一口都會喜歡它們。
Just dumplings in a varied form ....
Mix flour and water as a solution-base to steam dumplings and the bottom of the dumplings will become a layer of crispy crust .... Crunchy and smelling good .... Pretty easy to make them by yourself at home really.  
只是種不同形式的餃子....
將麵粉和水混合成蒸餃子的解決方案,餃子底部就會變成一層酥脆的外殼.... 酥脆又好香....
很容易自己在家做。

We live in taiwan. . . . . of course we bring our bowls up yo our mouths to eat.
If you see our kids eating like this in America this summer…just know it’s perfectly acceptable (and expected) in Taiwan.
如果你在美國看到我們的孩子這樣吃飯... 只知道它在台灣完全可以接受(和預期)。
My kids are so used to it! They don’t even know that it’s taboo in America.
我的孩子好習慣! 他們甚至不知道這是美國的禁忌。

Hi! I'm new to this group. I recently joined because my son will be studying in Taiwan this summer.
Welcome to Taiwan. I am taking my son back to Taiwan next month as well, maybe can connect? Does he speaks any Chinese?
Me too. I am taking my daughter back to Taiwan for the month of July and till August 6. It will be great to connect!
Awesome! We plan to arrive on June 14 and he depart on Aug. 25.
I have apartment in Taichung but I will take him traveling around Taiwan and visit friends. Do you have any relatives in Taiwan?
I do, but I will stay mostly in Taipei in an Airbnb due to space limitations. My daughter will attend a volunteer camp mostly though.
That sounds a nice plan. Let’s keep in touch and see what we can do. By the way we live in Ottawa Canada.
Yes, let’s dm then.  "DM me" is short for "direct message me." Are a feature on social media platforms like Instagram that allow users to send private messages ...
Wonderful ! My daughter and I will be there next month!
Better fill up his backpack with cash jobs here are a challenge to get them.

My son is going to study Chinese in Taiwan this summer with CIEE. Which program is your son in?
Taiwan is beautiful! My son is wrapping up a year abroad in Taipei- your son will have an amazing time!
Oh stop it. Fake account. Why do they do this? But I’m glad people are willing to answer you even though u have no intentions of ever coming here.
Taiwanese people are very warm and friendly, and there is delicious food everywhere. Except in winter, the weather is slightly cooler. Be careful because the vehicles on the street are very crowded. Everything else should be safe. This is my personal opinion.
I have vacation there for 12 years months at a time. I will be retiring there. Taiwan is exceptional. That is for sure. I do prefer the southern part of Taiwan.
I’ve lived and studied in the US …. But let me tell you that Taiwan is very very advanced in tech , immaculate etiquette , great civic sense . Some of the best people in the world … kind compassionate and very honest .
The only place I see you having and issue is language unless you speak Mandarin . Even then , I’ve been there 5 times and have never had a problem even though they hardly speak English .
I wouldn’t even twice think if I was to move there ! I love Taiwan.
我曾在美國生活和學習...... 但我告訴大家,台灣科技非常先進,禮儀無染,很棒的公民意識。 一些世界上最好的人... 善良的慈悲,非常誠實。
除非你會說普通話,我唯一看到你有和問題的地方就是語言。 即使如此,我已經去過5次了,雖然他們幾乎不會說英語。
如果我要搬到那裡,我甚至不會三思考! 我愛台灣
When I left in 2019, medical services are excellent if u re resident u get a social security card it s inexpensive, rents were getting very high, u ll need learn enough Chinese to get by.
2019 年我離開時,醫療服務非常好,如果你重新居住醫生,你拿到一張社會保障卡,那不貴,租金變得非常高,你需要學足夠的中文才能通過
Taiwan is a great place to live. The people are friendly and the food is great. Housing was a bit expensive but I was in New Taipei city. It is beautiful and clean. I loved my three years there and could live there for the rest of my I'm Australian and I'm making the move in August.. Not optimal if you're an artist though.
What part of US are you from?... Taiwan is kind of like LA / NY city life but with way better quality of life, health care, food, nightlife, shopping, way easier to get around with mrt and busses and people are friendly... With US salary you'll be just fine. Nothing to worry about.... Also safer than all the liberal states in the US.
你來自美國哪個部分?... 台灣有點像洛杉磯/紐約城市的生活,但生活品質更好,健康保健,食物,夜生活,購物,便能更容易搭乘mrt和公車,人們也很友善... 有了美國的薪水,你就好了。 沒什麼好擔心的.... 也比美國所有自由國家安全
I’m American and I was in Taiwan 6 years ago. I love Taiwan and I really wish to visit again someday.

I moved to Kaohsiung in 2000, coming from Long Island, NY where I was born and raised. In terms of the cost of living vs quality of life, at the time, I considered Kaohsiung to be about 85 to 90% quality of life (overall), and at 25% of the cost. Taking into consideration personal safety (excluding driving here which is like being IN a video game), cost and quality of Healthcare (I'm 69 years old and recovering fully from stage 4 cancer diagnosed in April of 2023), food here is easy to get and cheap if you know where to look, especially fresh fruits and veggies from the various markets, the people here are generally quite friendly and helpful, the weather (Kaohsiung, like Tainan and Taichung) enjoy at least 300 days/year of sunshine, and winters are short and mild (think Florida weather). Major complaints are no pizza places that can really compete with those on Long Island, same thing with bagels, Italian sausage, and things like deli meats, spiralcut ham and some other pork products, but that list is shrinking (local avocados are outstanding, I just bough butternut squash in Changhua last week, and others like zucchini are being introduced each year. When I left LI in August 2000, my weekly food bill (mostly supermarket) was USD200/week, whereas even today, buying as much as possible from markets and local take-out vendors, usd200/month is easily doable. Any questions?
2000年我搬到高雄,來自紐約長島,我出生長大的地方。 以生活成本vs生活品質來說,當時我認為高雄大概是85至90%的生活品質(整體而言),費用25%。 考量人身安全(不包括在這裡開車像在電玩遊戲)、醫療保健的成本和品質(我69歲,2023年4月確診癌症第四期完全康復),這裡的食物容易取得又便宜,如果你知道在哪裡 看,尤其是各市場的新鮮蔬果,這裡的人們普遍都相當友善助人,天氣(高雄,像台南和台中)至少享有300天/年日照,冬季短暫溫和(想想佛羅里達州天氣)。 重大抱怨不是真正能跟長島的比薩場所競爭,有貝果、義大利香腸,還有外送肉類、螺旋切火腿和其他豬肉製品的東西,但那個名單卻在縮水(當地酪梨很出色,我上次在彰化剛好把牛油瓜打成這樣) 周,每年都會推出其他像西芹。 2000年8月我離開LI時,每週食品費單(大多是超市)是USD200/週,即使今天,盡可能向市場和本地外賣商買,USD200/月是很容易做到的。 有問題嗎?

I need help to find a 711. Can you please tell me where there is one? Thanks!
It will be quicker to tell you where there ISN'T one.  會更快告訴你哪裡沒有。
Where I live the nearest 7/11 is an hours drive away.
711? what's that? never seen one in Taiwan!!!
right?!
I been in Taiwan lastmonth to many 7/11 anywhere.
Next to a Family Mart!
never heard of it.
yes,711 are next to family mart nearby my room .
are you saying I need to go to your room¿
I'm serious I really need to get a hot dog.
There was a food truck by my house the other day. They had Chili Dogs!! It was amazing! But then they never came back. And I am sad.
big sadge. How am I gonna get my hydrogenated oils and trans fats out here?
大悲傷。 我要怎麼把我的氫化油和反式脂肪拿出來?
The struggle is real, my bro!
man you're gonna make me cry.
Don’t let em see you cry. Stay strong brother.
God this is hard. One time my bike got stolen, this is right up there. My bike even had a bell. Stole that sucker too.
Google maps ? Google is Ur best friend.
Just around the corner!
Open Google maps.
Type 7-11
Hit search.
There will be at least 15 in walking distance
I found a ok mart. I am not ok. This is not ok.
then try family mart.
You just need to keep your head up when walking. Trust me.
Are you sure you are in Taiwan, not in China? You literally walk 10 steps and there is 7-11 already.
yes everybody calls me 幹您娘 which I heard in Taiwan means cool tiger.
To some people here, he is just being sarcastic guys come on. The fact that every corner has 711. 他只是在挖苦
not everyone understands sarcasm, I believe is more a western concept....
I don't understand it either I'm just dumb.
the product of American education maybe?
oh you can't blame school I didn't go to that trash hole. In Florida we went to the beach and smoked salvia which is incredible that it was legal. I only went to school to use the photography dark room. Sarcasm is a lifestyle. It's the divorce of self from empathy. Live for the confusion and make it worse. The universe is chaos and so is finding a 711.
Why you don’t ask google.
how do I get to Google? Where do they live?
I sure am not sick today.
Look out the window. You'll see one.
Maybe you can find your hot dog in your dream, sweet dreams..
I only find very cold dogs in my dreams. Hot dog popsicles are not ideal.
/ˈpɒp.sɪ.kəl/
Kenting near eluanbi lighthouse there is a 7-11 there.
on top of the lighthouse right.
It's like asking for a pair of chopsticks in Taiwan ..
Not finding a 7-11 in Taiwan takes very special skills.
I blame Florida.
Use Google maps.
I heard that's a hacker for my email @ aol dot com
Mate you should open a course in Taipei city, "Sarcasm 101" that would be interesting to see it....
老兄,你應該在台北市開一個課程,看了會很有趣....
on the real I've thought about opening a cram school or like class to teach slang, weird cultural shit, and yes sarcasm which doesn't exist in Chinese. I use sarcasm when speaking to locals in Chinese very often and it gets me in the most awkward situations. It's hilarious.
There are nearly 7000 in Taiwan, walk outside you should find one quickly.
True story. I was in Taiwan 5 years ago. My aunt got lost driving us to a seafood banquet because she didn't have the name or address of the restaurant. But I found it and guided us with Google Maps.
I cannot believe it. I'm just glad you guys are safe.
Just pick a random direction and start walking, you will see one within 5min max.
I am now standing in the ocean. What do I do now?
Just turn your head and look left or right…
I shut my eyes, did a 360°, opened them and there's no 711.
Frickin everywhere.
Lol obviously a super troll post.  哈哈,顯然是超級巨怪帖子
nah uh I'm really in trouble here if I don't find a 711 by the next 29 minutes they're going to release my web cam footage.
不,呃,我真的很麻煩,如果我在接下來的29分鐘之前找不到711,他們會發佈我的網絡攝像頭錄像。
I'd suggest heading to the opticians first.   我建議先去看視光師
it's ok my eyes are already in my head. Glasses are a conspiracy by big blurry.   沒事,我的眼睛已經在腦海裡了。 眼鏡是大模糊的陰謀
Walk out and open your eyes then you'll see one.
how many eyes to open?
You could have walked around and found one before you even finished this post.
IVE been walking for 4 days.
not every 7/11 sells long dogs…
what about medium?
hey have some self stable dogs not piping hot.   他們有一些自我穩定的狗,不管熱
Look across the street any street.
I don't need a street though I need a 711. Or is this an esoteric hint? 我不需要街,雖然我需要711。 或者這是深奧的提示?
Ts in the mars....... Contact with Elonmask he have shuttle to go.  Ts在火星....... 與 Elonmask 聯繫,他有接駁車要出發
first answer I understand. Finally I find a 711. Thanks boss and gosh you're a hero.
Go outside, take off one of your flip-flops and throw it.
You'll hit one or it'll at least land near one.
I don't recommend using this method to find a girlfriend. You are not the main character in a Taiwanese rom-com drama.
brilliant
sir I wear sandals. Please advise.  請指教
Everywhere save soil.
I want to eat the soil though.
well banana is soil.
I think you have not been eating banana.... 
Take a stone and throw it in any direction. Wherever the stone land, you'll find either a 711 - Familymart.
Use your Google map on your phone, you dweeb.  你這個傻瓜
Its like stink tofu - you don't find stinky tofu, it finds you!
Ypu just lonely. Just download Tinder and get a date partner!
I tried that but I couldn't find 711 on there.
not gonna date him based on the conversations here.  不會根據這裡的對話和他約會。
Walk two blocks, then turn right. Swing another left, and go straight for 50 meters or so. It will be on your right, across from the MRT station.  
走兩條街,然後右轉。 另一個左搖擺,然後直走50米左右。 它會在你右邊,捷運站對面。
are there street bandits?  有街匪嗎?
yes, but if you buy some Betelnut they’ll let you pass.  是的,但如果你買一些Betelnut,他們會讓你過關

homegrown Vehicles what are they and
where did they come from
[Music]
we should start off with some vocab when
I say K car I don't mean the 80s
Chrysler platform this is a k car K
spelled Kei is a Japanese classification
of car dating back to the late 1940s in
1949 following the end of the second
world war Japan wanted to focus on
rebuilding their industry one of these
industries they wanted to grow was the
automotive industry which was nearly
non-existent at the time the issue was
money cars are expensive Most Japanese
families could only afford a motorcycle
at the time because of this the
government made a classification of
vehicle to bridge that Gap a motorcycle
priced car this started the K car class
there were rules of course the engine
could only be 150 CC's or less and the
dimensions had to be under 9.2 feet in
length and 3.3 feet in width as time
went on these restrictions grew to where
the modern case cars can have up to 660
CC engines and they can be 11.2 feet
long and 4.9 feet wide owning a k car
also has a bunch of monetary benefits
they're cheaper to register they come
with tax breaks and some places even
have special cheaper parking just for
k-cars around 2014 the Japanese
government reduced these benefits
drastically but you still get some
reduction for owning the small cars K
cars come in all shapes and sizes well
not all sizes they're pretty small but
there's plenty to pick from there's Vans
trucks hatchbacks and even sporty
roadsters when referring to K cars it's
important to know your ABCs A
is for
B is for
C is for
those are the three most popular K cars
they're sporty fun and pocket-sized
which us Americans find fascinating if
someone says that they love K cars it's
probably one of those three but why are
we seeing more and more K trucks in
America well there's two main reasons
here in the United States we have a
25-year import law for personal vehicles
you can import any vehicle you want no
matter the make model or region of
origin as long as it's 25 years or older
there are many reasons why it's
specifically 25 years but maybe that's a
topic for a future video cave Vehicles
hit their stride in the 1990s they were
mostly fuel injected and they were
allowed to have these 660 CC engines
after 1990. the 1990s although as much
as some of you don't want to admit it
happened now over 25 years ago tons of
quality fantastic trucks are now
eligible to import
we have small pickups available here
most of them are Gators or razors or
what have you they're basically golf
carts on steroids but they're super
useful on farms and in the country the
problem is most places don't allow them
on the road and the places that do allow
them on the road make it a real headache
to register they're also not built to
sustain highway speeds overall they're
too big of a heartache to drive in the
real world take for instance this
Polaris Ranger a two-seater vehicle with
a rear truck bed if I configure this
2023 model to have what a k-truck would
have as in doors a roof front and rear
glass mirrors a heater and a radio the
MSRP is over 19
000 for a vehicle you still can't
legally drive on the road so then let's
look at some k-truck prices sure these
prices are before import to the US so
double that price in your head you're
still nowhere near the price of the new
Polaris here are a couple that are for
sale at the time of making of this video
that are already here in the US ready to
be picked up interesting none of them
are nineteen thousand dollars factor in
the fact that most of them have four or
five speed transmissions and can be
driven on the road legally it all starts
to make sense
over the last few years I've noticed
more and more out and about in the world
from snow removal to flower shops these
little workhorses are becoming a top
pick for business owners and enthusiasts
alike it's a shame that we never got
these originally but due to safety
restrictions from the government and the
American idea that small engines are
useless they wouldn't have been allowed
or sold really well but thanks to the
25-year rule we are now able to get
these trusty little trucks in our
possession

I can attest to this. I work for a large Japanese vechicle importer. A lot of our US customers buy a lot of these small trucks.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Can the Suzuki Carry Mini Truck survive the 4x4 Alpine loop in Colorado?

and then we added these lighted grips to make it FAA legal for me.

On today's episode, we're
going to see if our 1992 Suzuki carry mini truck can four wheel with the big boys.
To do that, we're going to put it to the test on the Alpine loop
in the San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado.
Our route will take us over some of the most rugged and remote terrain
in the country and will only have the modifications
that we did to the mini truck to keep us out of trouble.
The K series was the smallest class of street
legal Japanese vehicle that was restricted by engine size, payload and dimensions.
It's basically a miniature car powered by a motorcycle engine that's used
in urban settings and flourishes there thanks to its small stature.
They make K vans, they make little K fire trucks
and little K ambulances, which is hilarious.
It was originally designed by Georgetto Giugiaro
Similar to the A-class European vehicles.
They were never federalized or legal for street use here,
but thanks to the 25 year rule now you can import them.
It's the ninth generation Suzuki carry
powered by a 657 cc three cylinder engine.
It's got a five speed manual gearbox with a six low speed granny gear
plus reverse rear lockers 4x4
and an AM radio.
Then I ruined it by putting 25 inch tires on it.
We did a two inch lift.
We did upgraded suspension in spring and then muddy bottom shocks.
Then we built this roll cage in the back with a cane back
to make it able to haul stuff.
It's got fold down bedsides on every side.
We added the rack, we added lights for snow, plowing at nighttime,
and then we added these lighted grips to make it FAA legal for me
to cross the runway.
We skid plated the whole underside from the radiator back to the transfer case.
We added this kill dozer-esque bumper, which replaced
the plastic factory bumper, and its purpose is three fold.
Most importantly, it looks bad ass.
Secondly, it protects the radiator and the approach angles.
And third, it gives us a recovery point in the event that we need to miniature
recover a stuck jeep or 4runner when we're up in the mountains.
According to the guidebook,
the Alpine Loop is a 63 mile loop through the spectacular heart
of the San Juan Mountains, but it warns that it's demanding two 12,000 ft
passes require a high clearance, four wheel drive vehicle,
but the well-prepared motorist reaps unparalleled rewards.
What we're going to test today is have we prepared
the mini truck enough to handle that miniature 4x4 challenge?
Our journey actually began in the Northern Colorado
town of Pipsburg, where mobile mechanic Titus Larson
pulled an all nighter to get the mini truck ready for the mission.
The rear and the rears are like two.
Yeah, that's a lot.
Yeah, because they're turning the same way.
So I was handed
a phone call basically where I was like, can you bend metal?
And then it got kind of tossed back in my lap.
It I should do the whole project.
And so, so I bring it out.
I got the front bumper kind of designed and thrown together
and then to major skid plates to cover pretty much everything underneath.
And then you gave it a good once over.
We fixed the vacuum line.
Totally did found a couple of ground.
Found a couple whose fault reminds me of like a side by side on steroids.
Now, this thing's cool.
Yeah, I'm stoked.
I can't wait to see it on the trail.
Driving down from northern Colorado, we pulled into Lake City
just before sunset.
There was just enough daylight left to say hi to the locals.
Our base camp would be Castle Lake's airstrip.
The high altitude mountain airstrip would make a great place to based out of.
In the morning
we woke up to another JDM 4x4, a Mitsubishi Delica
driven by Scott Anderson, who would be running support
got our mechanical gear pretty minimalistic.
I got my tool roll, I got a jump box, I got a second toro.
If it's not kinetic emergency lights, we got an extra air filter, oil
and Asian vehicle coolant.
Nothing's going to stop us today.
Nothing's going to stop us except for a trail
we might not be able to negotiate mechanics that should hold up.
between both vehicles,
any number of overheating or cooling issues.
Maybe a little bit of weather, bears, rogue Jeepers,
people that don't accept this and
into their culture.
Starting out from the airstrip,
we ran the Alpine loop in the counterclockwise direction.
It took a little bit for the mini truck to get up to speed,
but that made sense given how thin the mountain air was.
The mini truck got smiles, thumbs up and a few looks of concern.
And a little bit down the road we figured out where Lake City got its name.
So we stopped here at the Alpine Loop, about to head up to Engineer Pass,
and we thought we'd take a minute here to introduce Scott Anderson.
He's actually the guy who got the mini
truck from and also a fellow delica fanatic.
How many of these mini trucks, if you had probably had about six of them.
So far, importing them, picked them up, flipping them.
Definitely the one we did the most work on.
I honestly don't know how these I've never I mean, I've done like some light off
roading and a K truck before on smaller tires too, and less of a lift.
It did pretty good. So I think it'll do fine.
It's just a not a lot of clearance and up to like 12,000 feet.
I'm not sure if it's going to have
like torque to get over stuff, but the extra low gear should help. So
side by side,
the evolution of the ATV four wheeler.
And there's a reason like they're incredibly capable,
but they're also it can be a little expensive.
But, you know, the mini truck's kind of like
it's a good alternative that there's pros and cons.
You know, you certainly don't have the power, but you get windshield wipers.
Got all the accouterments that I'd have in the nineties era
Japanese vehicle and I think the power deficit with the tall tire
gearing is probably going to be my biggest challenge.
Our first stop was the U.
Lay mine in the abandoned ghost town of Hanson, Colorado.
The mine dates back to 1867 and lasted
through the 1960s mining silver and led out of the side of the mountain,
pulling out of the mine.
The road was smooth until we hit capital city.
But from there, things took a turn for the worse.
We're just pulling out of capital city, heading up to Whitmore Falls.
Not really getting a speedometer.
Not even come alive.
So there's going to be
a marathon.
And it's a balance between preserving the vehicle,
but making up enough time so that we don't get back
at midnight.
Why you got to look at me like that?
I just, we’re the same. Haha, we’re the same...
I just want to fit in, man.
It's my whole life.
The road got so bad.
The only way to make it passable was to let air out of the tires.
But fortunately, we found a nice cold swimming hole to heal our wounds in
We’re at Whitmore Falls.
First stop on the leg Engineer pass.
That water is cold.
It's so nice.
It's like the first thing you think of.
Like all the hot days.
How nice it is to,
be in a pristine mountain swimming hole.
I got to say,
that's probably one of my top swimming holes of the year.
So we air down the tires.
You took them down from 25 psi
Which was utterly miserable to 18 psi,
which is mildly tolerable.
And again, it's not like the super technical stuff,
but it is persistently challenging
the side by side with the vehicle of choice on the Alpine loop.
Second to that, we're lots of four wheelers.
But every once in a while we've run into something different.
We came around the corner
and he was just as surprised to see us as we were to see him.
We're just breaking free of tree line.
baby, Come on.
Yes, yes.
We burned a little bit of clutch there.
She's struggling a little
with the altitude as we climbed above 11,000 feet.
Many trucks started struggling in the thin mountain air.
It's all right, girl.
It's okay.
You're made to climb Mount Fuji. Remember?
See if we get in at first.
Come on, baby.
Yes. We've definitely Crested Treeline, and we're in the Alpine Tundra area now,
which is really cool.
We saw a marmut, couple plyka,
So this so far is the hardest feature we've had to do yet.
And it still looks relatively doable.
All right.
Sometimes you just got to send it.
All right.
There's the granny.
Send it number two.
Yes. Yes, I
You got nothing on the mini truck.
Ouch
thing I don't want to do is stop.
Starting out
It is just such an act of feathering the throttle.
Just the right amount.
I think I flooded it,
so I'm, like, letting the lead
break.
I get it too much gas and just get a little bit
easy break.
I'll try that.
You got it, girl.
We’re probably almost at 12,000 feet,
and this thing's jetted
for sea level, so it's totally flooding out.
I have to be very gentle.
It took a little bit of coaxing at times, but we finally made it to the top
of Engineer Pass at 12,800 feet.
The road was originally built
in the late 1800s by Otto Mears.
Mears was a California gold rush miner who settled in Colorado as a wheat farmer.
Eventually, he would build some of Colorado's tallest roads and railroads.
Top of the pass felt like we were on the top of the world,
but we still had a long way to go.
I flew over on Saturday morning
and I saw these sheep from like 14,000 feet.
But I was like, Man, there's no way there's like sheep up here at 12,000 feet.
And then we came around the pass and like, here they are.
And then these sheepdogs.
That's the father.
That's the mama.
Such a wonderful life these dogs
must have
getting hurt.
Sheep
coming down the backside of Engineer Pass.
The road only got worse.
But as our confidence in the mini truck grew,
we became willing to take more chances.
I would describe this drop off
as mildly consequential.
It's steep,
but at least it's grassy and therefore slightly soft.
I know it's not going to do any good.
But I still pucker.
I don't know that Scott will be able to take that line in the Delica.
He should just kind of go down the center,
Dropping in the tire pressure,
made a dramatic difference in the ride quality.
And we just went to like 18 psi.
But it's smooth like butter.
it's 615.
We got about an hour and 45 of daylight left.
If we were going to go to Ouray, we would take that down to the Engineer,
pass trailhead, which we're not going to do
because that puts us home tomorrow some time.
So we're going to continue through this saddle here
and then climb back up to Cinnamon Pass.
And I would say this part coming down
was the most technical so far, which was really fun.
The mini truck did great.
Being small and nimble has actually been pretty versatile.
It just makes me smile and it makes everybody else's smile.
Outside of the abandoned ghost town of Animas Forks.
We stop for a moment of reflection about the mini truck.
It's not better than the side by side to side by side.
They just cut through this stuff like a hot knife through butter.
But with that, I think you kind of lose some of the purpose of being here.
Seems like when you start getting to the really chunky stuff,
they can see the body moving around like a lot more than the delica, But
you can just take lines that I can't even think of.
Granite gear, speed.
Nice brakes are probably a little bit soft and that's probably fine.
Asked or not doing their problems. Yeah, we should probably
For,
kind of the basic check ups that it got in the year and a half of it.
Use it on the airport.
It really hasn't given us any problems.
I hope I don't need those.
Feeling confident,
we turned east and headed up the steepest part of the Alpine loop,
the arduous climb up to the top, a cinnamon pass.
We didn't know it at the time, but this would turn out
to be the biggest challenge for the mini truck.
12,600 feet.
sucking wind on cinnamon pass.
We got here just in time to watch the sunset.
And the last little bit actually was a little bit challenging.
I had full throttle in the granny gear and we were going up this little step.
And for a minute it felt like we were going to kind of stall out.
And those little cylinders just kept on jamming and it got us to the top.
So now the sun's going down.
We're going to finish the last third of our journey,
which is going to take us down cinnamon paths back down into the canyon,
and then hopefully into Lake City in time to grab a bite to eat.
In Colorado,
The reason to 4x4 is to get away from people.
Most people build big over landing rigs
because there's this arms race of how deep you can go into the wilderness
to get away from the campgrounds and the RV's and stuff.
So with the mini truck, instead of
going big, we went miniature.
It did incredibly well.
Like it far surpassed my expectations
in its ability to miniature 4x4 with the big boys.
We were by far the smallest thing out there.
I would say more agile, more nimble.
See what we gave up in ground clearance and tires and everything else.
We just picked our way through.
Yeah, it's true.
If you think about it.
Like this truck was basically designed to haul fish
maybe on some snowy roads or some dirt roads, like it certainly wasn't
designed to cross the tallest mountains and alpine passes in the lower 48.
But, I mean, bang for the buck, it's hard to beat the mini truck.
You know, for the most part.
We elicited looks of concern
from people, but once they got past that of us
just being a little bit different, the resounding effect it had the smiles.
I really didn't fit in as a kid like I didn't.
That troubled me for a lot of my youth.
But eventually I embraced that and really turned it into my strengths as an adult.
And like the mini truck doesn't fit in.
Just doesn't fit in.
But without passing judgment,
it did everything that was kind of asked by it.
I connect to it emotionally on that level.
And then the reason to do all these trips is just to get away, to be humbled,
to be out here in these spectacular mountains
and see a slice of the state here
in the wilderness that you usually can't see most of the year.
This is covered in snow and inaccessible. So
this has 45 horsepower go to 5000 feet.
Where I live, it's got 20% less.
Take it back up here.
Another 7000 feet.
We're doing all these passes with basically 20 horsepower.
There's three little cylinders.
You just chop it away and, you know, the fact that it was a little bit slower,
it gave us time.
It afforded us time.
They'll take the view and stop jumping the water.
Check out the mining kids in the Ghost towns, in the wildflowers.
And it was awesome.
We miniature 4x4 at some major passes
and I'm glad the mini truck answered the call.
Mission accomplished.
We had one more order of business to do before we left.
A little runway maintenance for my good friend for letting me stay at his airstrip.

okay well Bed Bath and Beyond struggles
a foreign truck model is seeing some
major success on America's farms and
back roads Kelsey kernstein is live to
show us why these Japanese mini trucks
are so popular right now and how they
prove the bigger isn't always better
good morning
good morning match will these Japanese
mini trucks are becoming increasingly
popular in the United States and it's
super interesting if you look inside
there are right hand drive vehicle there
is no air safety bag in the front seat
though but if you look in the back now
it's just like a pickup truck but quite
a bit smaller three sides actually roll
down this was made in Japan they're
called K trucks but there's two main
reasons like what is the fuss about why
are Americans buying them there's two
main reasons one of them is that 25-year
import law in the United States that now
people can import these because they
were most popular in Japan back in the
1990s so now people are importing them
into the U.S and they are now using them
for personal use that other reason is
because farmers are finding them useful
they're also useful in country and rural
areas they can be driven on highways
unlike Gators they're also very
lightweight they have heat and air
conditioning and they're also very
affordable so on average speaking to the
owner of this dealer they cost about
forty five hundred dollars just to have
them imported here now if you want the
bells and whistles you want this thing
to be painted you're looking at about
eighty five hundred dollars now here's
the fun part an interesting part so a
lot of first-time buyers are actually
coming to this dealer to buy one of
these because it's like a hobby to fix
them up.
 
Mitch Adrian Kelsey I'm noticing that
that's a manual transmission and it's on
the right side I think I'd pay money to
watch you try to drive that thing uh
I'm not a good driver already as it is
so I'm not even going to give it a shot
 
all right fair enough that's Kelsey
kernstein live for us.
Do you know what
uh the baby boomer generation calls a
manual transmission
a millennial anti-theft device oh you
know what I can see that yeah you know I
can't drive it I don't know how I'm not
just making fun of Kelsey I can't do it

Hello everyone! I have a favor to ask. My boyfriend and I met in Australia, but he recently went back to Taiwan and his family wants him to stay there. I am Vietnamese and don't know any Mandarin. Currently, I am settled in Australia and work as an accountant. My boyfriend has convinced me to move to Taiwan, marry him, and settle down there. However, I am not sure if I want to leave Australia as I really like it here, but my boyfriend doesn't like living in Australia. I am concerned if I can find a job as an accountant in Taiwan and if it's easy for me to stay there without speaking Mandarin.
Thank for reading my post.
大家好! 我有個忙要問。 我和男友在澳洲認識,但他最近回台灣,家人希望他留在那裡。 我是越南人,不知道任何普通話。 目前定居澳大利亞,擔任會計師。 男友說服我搬來台灣,嫁給他,定居在那裡。 但我不確定要不要離開澳大利亞,但我男朋友不喜歡在澳大利亞生活。 我很擔心我能否在台灣找到一份會計師的工作,我能否很容易留在那裡不講國語。
謝謝你閱讀我的帖子。
 
Hi, Cindy. To be honest with you, it's rarely possible to work as an accountant without speaking any Mandarin in Taiwan.
I would highly recommend you to rethink about your relationship with your boyfriend since you both have totally different blueprints for the future.
It's not only about the job, it's about everything you have owned in Australia so far. There will be huge sacrifices on your site and I am not sure if you are ready for it. Anyway wish you all the best.
 
The power of LOVE should be above from these materialistic things.
I observed in my experience mostly females End their relationships and hurt them just because of money and so called temporary things.
In my opinion get married and start life where you both want to do. Do not END relationship just due to Taiwan or Austrailia.
May God bless you both.
 
the same I think.
 
Yeah, you’re gonna be poor.
You’ll probably make 1/5 of what you make so unless your boyfriend is a top percentage, I would not leave.
 
Life is pretty good in Taiwan though, seems like, base level wise. 在台灣生活挺不錯的,看似,基層智者。
 
yeah if you you don’t mind working 100 hours a week and being extremely underpaid.
Life is good here other than the fact that you’re a slave to your job.
是的,如果你不介意每週工作 100 小時,而且薪水極低。 這裡的生活很好,除了你是工作的奴隸。
 
Are you really sure.
 
Obviously I’m exaggerating on the hundred hours a week.顯然我每週一百小時很誇張。
 
Very obviously you have been but it’s true pay need to be as much as what they got in Aussie this I totally agree since the country is richer than Aussie now. 很明顯你一直在,但這是真正的付出需要與他們在澳洲得到的一樣多,這我完全同意,因為現在國家比澳洲富有。
 
Hi Cindy. Finding work as an accountant without speaking Mandarin will be very challenging.
Perhaps you could work remotely from Taiwan for Australian or other English-speaking firms?
嗨,辛蒂。 找會計工作不講普通話會很有挑戰性。 或許你可以遠端從台灣為澳大利亞或其他英語公司工作?
 
That's true.
 
I agree with.
 
You. Cultural difference is something you need to seriously consider before making decision for relocating to Taiwan.
Love alone may not be enough. Additionally, what is your boyfriend's family background?
Are you expected to stay with them after getting married? Is he expected to take over family business?
你。文化差異是決定搬遷來台灣之前,你需要認真考慮的事情。
一個人愛可能不夠。 另外,你男朋友的家庭背景是什麼? 結婚後有望陪他們嗎? 他有望接管家族生意嗎?
 
That is an excellent idea.
After COVID I did most of my accounting work through the computer and rarely need to meet up with anyone other than cleaning up and closing our office.
However I did toy with the idea of moving to Taiwan but have no idea how accounting works over there.
I do speak basic Mandarin....Very basic.
I heard people just need to take the tax form given to them by employers to the Government tax office and they do the calculation for you for free?
這是個好主意。
新冠肺炎之後,我透過電腦做了大部分會計工作,除了清理和關閉我們的辦公室以外,很少需要與任何人見面。
但我做了玩具想搬來台灣,卻不知道會計在那邊運作如何。 我會講基本普通話.... 很基本。
聽說人家只要拿雇主給他們的稅單去政府稅務局,他們免費幫你計算?
 
sorry we do speak Ho*Lo*h but not mandarin in DAIWAN.
不好意思,我們在DAIWAN說的不是普通話。
 
To establish a career anywhere, first of all we need to master the language !
Mandarin is not easy to learn .
Well you can learn to speak but to write is a different story !
Unless you find a job at an international accounting firm where they speak English , I doubt you would be happy there in Taiwan .
Love fades; reality sinks in … But if you are young , you can try .
At least you try and do not regret .
Let’s say if things do not work out, you still can move back to Australia for a new beginning.
Think carefully , make wise decision and good luck to you !
要在任何地方建立職業生涯,首先我們需要掌握語言! 普通話不容易學。
好吧,你可以學會說話,但寫作是不同的故事! 除非你在國際會計師事務所找到工作,否則我懷疑你在台灣會很開心。
愛情會褪色;現實會沉入... 但如果你年輕,你可以試試。
至少你嘗試過並不後悔。 讓我們說,如果事情沒有成功,你仍然可以搬回澳大利亞迎接新的開始。
仔細想想,做出明智的決定,祝你好運!
 
That's true.
 
If you marry and have children you might not be able to leave with your children.
Continue the relationship long distance and think really carefully about what you are prepared to do.   
如果你結婚生子,你可能無法與你的孩子一起離開。 延續遠距離的關係,認真想想自己準備做什麼。
 
Learn Mandarin!
 
Adapting to Taiwan without speaking Mandarin would take time and effort.
Certainly you would have to learn Mandarin, which would require a couple of years to become conversant.
The plus side is that Taiwan is very friendly.
People are accommodating, hospitable, and helpful.
But as Linda Chen said above, I doubt you could get a job without speaking Mandarin.
Sounds like your boyfriend is being pressured by his family.
Good luck.  
適應台灣不說國語,需要時間和心力。
當然要學普通話,需要幾年才能對話。
加分的一面是台灣很友好。
人們是融入、好客、樂於助人。
但正如陳琳達上面說的,我懷疑你可以不用講普通話找工作。
聽起來你男朋友被家人壓著。
祝你好運。
 
Stay Australia!
Taiwan is friendly to foreigners but not friendly for the foreigners who want to stay in Taiwan,
all infrastructure and major daily activities aren’t international prepared,
even for opening an bank account took us more than 5weeks,
no foreign credit card can be accepted for the major online purchasing (ie Momo mall),
we couldn’t collect our registered mail at the Post offices due to no stamp (印章),
these are only a few issues you will face in Taiwan.
Most importantly, you will have no any support social network here.
You will be totally isolated, so my dear friend, wake up and be more realistic about this relocation.
All the best.
留在澳大利亞!
台灣對外國人友好,但對想留在台灣的外國人不友好,
所有基礎建設和每日重大活動都沒有國際化準備,
即使開銀行帳戶花了我們超過5周,
各大網購都不能接受外國信用卡(即) Momo商城),由於沒有印章(印章),
我們無法到郵局領取掛號郵件,這些只是你在台灣會面臨的幾個問題。
最重要的是,你在這裡不會有任何支援社交網絡。
你將徹底孤立,所以我親愛的朋友,醒醒吧,對這次搬遷更現實一點。
一切都好。 
 
What you said is so true and that’s why here I feed back to you …
It’s like you still try to move what you felt comfortable in DAIWAN
yourself after how long you’ve been living here already that I do not know and no intention to …
but my advise is why carry such a task tho. what made you feel it’s worthy living in DAIWAN
if you don’t ever try to fit in… with suffering it is not reasonable to live here at all.   
你說的太真實了,這就是為什麼我在這裡反饋你...
就好像你在這裡生活多久之後,仍然試著把你在DAIWAN覺得舒適的東西搬出來,那些我不知道,也沒有打算...
但我的建議是為什麼要承擔這樣的任務。
如果你不嘗試融入,是什麼讓你覺得生活在DAIWAN是值得的... 有苦難,住在這裡根本不合理。
 
Totally agree with you.
For spending time with my elderly Daiwan mother, Im trying my best to resolve all obstacles daily, and really hoping things can be more flexible for foreigners.  
完全同意你。
為了陪我年邁的戴母親,每天都盡力化解一切障礙,真的希望事情可以更彈性地讓外國人。
 
I have been an alien for in South Africa America Japan even that post Manchu invaded district and I did find the best way to live is fitting in or simply stay away as a foreigner forever if you think you are …
but I did find myself a local in SA and US now …
but never in the other two …
because you just can’t …  
我一直是南非美洲日本的外星人,即使是滿族人入侵地區,我確實找到最好的生活方式是適應或者永遠遠離當外國人,
如果你認為你是...
但我現在確實發現自己是美國當地人...
但從來沒有在另外兩個...
因為你不能...
 
one facto for me is I never fit myself in my birth country DAIWAN with the AutoBike and humidity since the day I arrived in I guess very tragically living for me honestly speaking.   
對我來說,我從不適合自己在出生的國度 DAIWAN 自從我抵達那天起,我想非常悲慘地為我而活
 
same here, so try LG dehumidifier, it makes my life easier, hahah....  
所以試試LG除濕機,它讓我生活更輕鬆,哈哈....
 
hey our DaiDong also does well tho.
 
I thought they only do rice cooker.
 
As a female, i have a different perspective particularly when different citizenships/nationalities, benefits, and moving for someone, and job security are involved.
Going to a country where you don’t speak the language nor have your own social network is already hard.
Uprooting for someone that you’re not yet married to, or have met the person’s parents, seen their social network and how they are in their normal environment can create friction especially when things don’t work out.
Job aside, are you ready to commit (and take this risk) when he hasn’t proposed?  
作為一個女性,我有不同的公民身份/國籍、福利、為某人移動、工作保障時,特別是有不同的觀點。
去一個語言不通,又沒有自己的社交網絡的國家已經很難了。
為你尚未結婚或見過對方的父母、看到他們的社交網絡以及他們在正常環境中處於如何產生摩擦,尤其是當事情沒有成功時。
撇開工作,你準備好當他還沒提議的時候承諾(冒險)了嗎?
 
your correct if the family does not yet offer their 300% supports no matter where which country NEVER jump in troubles for yourself unless this person is 3000% the Savior to you.    
如果家人還沒有提供他們的 300% 支持,無論哪個國家,永遠不會為自己陷入困境,除非這個人是你的 3000% 救世主
 
As a Taiwanese, most definitely stay in Australia.
Taiwan is great for visit but you'll be losing much more than you will gain.  
身為台灣人,最肯定留在澳洲。
台灣很適合訪問,但你失去的比你獲得的更多。
 
You posted the exact same thing hours ago…
你幾個小時前發佈了一模一樣的東西...
 
If you love him hold onto that.
That’s the most important thing.
If not then do what is best for you.  
如果你愛他,請抓住這個。
這是最重要的事。
如果不去做對你最好的事。
 
Without speaking mandarin u stand no chance.   
不說普通話,你就沒有機會。
 
You’ve got a tough decision, only you can make it,
however, unless you got a job offer in advance before coming to Taiwan
and not speaking mandarin will make your life a bit difficult in that sense,
just something to think about, but if you don’t mind
and love is at it’s peak, give it a try!!!!!!  
你有一個艱難的決定,只有你能做出,除非你來台灣之前提前拿到工作邀約,
不說國語,否則你會在那種意義上讓你的生活有點困難,只是想想的事情,但如果你不介意,愛就很重要。
正在巔峰,試試看吧!!!!
 
Let your boyfriend take care of you..why are you worried about getting a job..if he really loves you he will take care of you..just chill in Taiwan.    
讓男朋友照顧你.. 你為什麼擔心找份工作.. 如果他真的愛你,他會照顧你。 只是在台灣放鬆
 
Take a 1-2 week vacation in Taiwan.
Many of the questions and concerns will be answered.  
在台灣度假1-2周。
很多問題和關心都會得到解答。
 
Taiwan is one of my favourite countries to visit , but you can be lost without speaking Mandarin, because hardly any people speak English .
I have been 5 times over last decade and it’s still the same .
I would recommend you visit there on vacation and stay for a few weeks there first .
And then decide .
It’s not a good idea to make such a big decision without weighing your options .
Love alone cannot make it all last .
Also once you go you will understand the reality for your boyfriend.   
台灣是我最喜歡去的國家之一,但不用說國語可以迷路,因為幾乎沒有人會說英語。
過去十年,我已經有5次了,還是一樣。
我建議你度假去那裡,先在那裡待幾周。
然後決定。
不權衡你的選擇,做出這麼重大的決定並不是一個好主意。
單獨的愛不能讓這一切持續。
一旦你走了,你也會明白你男朋友的現實。

比上帝知道什麼?
誰在乎他們想要什麼。
誰在乎你的男友想要什麼。
Obv你想要澳大利亞。
作為一個外國人,我總是覺得最難對付很在地的人,他們把他們的想法推給我。
去逛逛,看看氛圍。
但談到沒有你的婚姻其實是在台灣度假,第一次見到他的鄉親是紅旗。
你多大了,男友多大了?
 
Don't you ever dare to leave Australia.  
你永遠不敢離開澳大利亞。
 
Don't leave Australia!  
不要離開澳大利亞!
 
LOVE vs FUTURE(CAREER/JOB). It's a tough decision.  
愛 vs 未來(職業/工作)。 這是一個艱難的決定。
 
In these foreign groups, we often expound on the virtues of Taiwan. You often hear about its beauty, safety, friendly people, etc. Yet, this post is overwhelmingly negative in regard to her moving here??
Is it not even worth a try? An adventure? A year or two?
Plus, this might be her Mr Right. Just sayin’
Dunno.🤷🏽‍♂️ interesting responses. Seems Taiwan has fallen a bit in people’s general estimation, compared to a few years ago…  在這些外國團體中,我們常常講述台灣的美德。 你經常聽到它的美麗、安全、友善的人等等。 然而,對於她搬到這裡,這則帖子卻令人不知所措??
難道甚至不值得一試嗎? 一場冒險? 一兩年?
另外,這可能是她的右先生。 只是說說
不知道。 🤷🏽 ♂️ 有趣的回應。 似乎台灣在人們的普遍估計上跌了一些,相較於幾年前...
 
Again ? You got 200 replies in your other posts .

Cost to value is the real reason some states are trying to ban these. Its not about safety, its about propping up the big 3 and forcing people to pay ridiculous prices. These small trucks defiantly have a use case. Let the people decide.

I have been to Navy Yard in Baltimore.
It looked more like a historical and military site to me.
I took the USS Constellation' tour and learned a lot of American history on that tour.
The seafood in Baltimore was not bad either.
I think US is a great place for the wealthiest and the poorest, the two sides of the spectrum, while it's not the best place for the middle class.
If you are rich enough, you can pretty much get everything here with good quality, like education, medicare, etc while if you are poor enough, you can get a lot of things for free.
However, being a middle class would strand yourself in the between.
Basically, you are just scraping for a minimum life hardly with any help most of the time.
 
(Baltimore)'s cultural diversity is rich and diverse, attributed to its history as a migration hub and a maritime hub.
The city's culture reflects its pluralistic population composition, comprising various ethnic groups such as African Americans, Italian Americans, and Greeks.

married handler 已婚經理人

A woman killed in a meth (methamphetamine甲基苯丙胺或甲基安非他命)lab turns out to be an informant. 告密者,線人,舉報者;提供消息者。information.

CSI discovers that she was having a relationship with her married handler (已婚經理人), and that she was also pregnant. 

When Ryan and Alex try fuming Rachel Hemming's corpse in her home looking for fingerprints, a fire starts, actually resulting from a short-circuited fan, which torches everything when it reaches the meth lab.

Horatio suspects the landlord Jeremy Broyles, who has three prior drug-related convictions.

On Heming's partially burned corpse Eric finds a melted bug and a partial print of her brother Zach, who claims he came from Ohio to get her out of the crime life but just left when she refused.

The bug's serial number leads to FBI agent Mike Farallon, who confirms she became his informant to escape a dealer conviction; Mike's wife Linda knew he slept around, as his former colleague Natalia Boa Vista, who recontacts the one he did three years ago before she came to CSI.

Rachel was pregnant, actually from Zach.

六書說是最早的關於漢字構造的系統理論。

漢字的形體構造分為內部結構和外形結構兩部分。

內部結構指漢字的構造方法,或稱造字方法,

傳統叫做六書:象形、指事、會意、形聲、轉注、假借,

其中象形、指事是「造字法」,

會意、形聲是「組字法」,

轉注、假借是「用字法」。

look at this spotless, everything is completely spotless, not a grain of dust  
in this place, and it looks like it  was just built yesterday, spotless
this is what I was saying to the cleaners, saying this  
that we've got bins everywhere  in England but there's still rubbish everywhere
here there's no bins and no rubbish, I mean it defies logic really. . . .
