pardon me for asking: is Taiwan unsafe because of the chinese incursions?
How much hotel?
We plan to visit Taiwan next year and your vlog helps us plan for the trip, thanks from Canada 🇨🇦 for sharing your experience! Subscribed!
Thanks for sharing your experience. I was there 2 weeks ago for only 3 days. There's so much more to see. Hopefully next time.
Definitely not worth paying $20 to go to the top of Taipei 101 to see the drab skyline of Taipei (it is pretty drab compared to other major world cities.)
$100 per day? USD? Wowww y’all are ballin’. I do like $100 per trip. 😅
Oh nooo you guys didn’t go to Tamsui old street! (淡水老街）!!! It’s just right outside of the Tamsui station.
Me and my partner will be in Taiwan this weekend. This is very helpful and makes us excited in our upcoming trip. Thanks for your video. Best of luck on your channel ❤
May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Rev. 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone…" Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
Love Taipei! Can't wait to visit Taichung & Tainan soon! Great Taipei video! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Crazy how y’all just randomly saw Jeremy Lin lol
21:28 I guess you're talking about the moon blocks. In taiwan, we throw the moon blocks to ask god for instructions. We usually ask god a question and throw the moon blocks, if the moon blocks is one block flat the other block round, we call it Shèngjiǎo, and it means god said yes or ok, on the other hand, if the moon blocks is two block flat or two block round, we call it kūjiao, which means god said no. Hope I had answered your question ^^
Really enjoyed your Taipei video. My family and I just returned from a short three day and a bit more stay in Taipei. Wish I had seen your video before our trip! I wasn’t sure if we would be able to withstand the weather and sightsee so much. We left with definitely the desire to go back! Always more food to try and places to see! Good luck with the channel!
On the wood dropping in the temple, it reminds me a little of tea leaves. Divination maybe?
Too lazy to type it out but here's what those "moon blocks" are for:
Moon blocks can be used separately to receive a straightforward answer, or they are accompanied by fortune sticks to clarify an oracle. When used alone, moon blocks are first purified by revolving the blocks around the incense burner three times. The querent then kneels and says their name, date of birth, residence, and question while cupping the blocks between their hands in prayer. After the querent poses the question to the gods, the blocks are dropped to the floor and land in a specific position.
There are four possible answers that the moon blocks can produce:
Shèngjiǎo (聖筊, divine answer): One block flat and another block round is a 'yes' answer.
Nùjiǎo (怒筊, angry answer) also kūjiao (哭筊, crying answer) or méijiǎo (沒筊, no answer): Both blocks round is a 'no' answer. It is said that the gods are displeased or show disagreement with the question, and this is shown in the way the blocks directly fall flat on the floor.
Xiàojiǎo (笑筊, laughing answer): Both blocks flat have several interpretations; in any case it is said the gods are laughing at the question depending on what has been asked. It can be interpreted as an emphasized 'no' answer, the question that was asked was unclear, or that the answer to the question is obvious. One characteristic of this answer is when the blocks sway back and forth when dropped, a symbolic show of laughter.
Lìjiǎo (立筊, standing answer): One or both blocks falling but standing erect on the floor (so that the block is standing up on the two pointed ends) indicates that the deities do not understand the referent's question, therefore the question is nullified and the procedure must be repeated.
How much was the entry and exit for subway/train?
❤❤❤
Great video! Taiwanese here (but living in California for the past 20+ years). You hit all the great and fun spots that I would also hit whenever I go home. I was surprised that Lisa had never tried the "car wheel" cakes though. Maybe you have never lived in Taiwan for an extended period of time. They are literally everywhere including at night markets. Those and the "pepper buns" are two of the things I miss most and my "must-eat" items whenever I go home to visit. Watching you enjoy the food made me want to go back soon; can't wait!
What's the environmental impact of those lanterns? Are they fully biodegradable?
awsome video (y)
Love 9 & 10 point!! Must do the wishing lantern and I just love that whole vibe! ❤
I remember my first visit to Taipei a few years ago. This reminded me that I need to return. Lisa, it was obvious that the visit there was both fantastic and emotional at the same time!❤️
I'm planning a year travel next year. Do you cook much in hostels or Airbnb? Do you think it's worth carrying around a collapsible silicone bowl and some spices?
Taipei looks very vibrant.
New subscriber. Heading back to Taipei for 2nd time in Sept. Enjoyed your vid.
any hotel recommendations for family of 4?
Taiwan is going to be my first international trip. I have a Filipino friend from my Grandma's old village that works in Taiwan, and I'm hoping to visit there by February! I just gotta save up lol
100$ is a budget? lol
Which area you were staying in? Didn't quite catch that.
@LisaAndJosh The wooden sticks sounds like divination sticks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe_divination
I want to go to Taiwan one day.
Я не горю желанием ехать туда,В Сингапур хотел
Меня мнение этих людей не интересует ,все знают кроме плохого нечего ждать не стоит
Do you have a link to your accommodation?
Beautiful vlog, bought back memories of my trips there in the past.
Hi, how to get the esim please?
Beautifully done! Thank you to both of you. ❤
While it’s exciting to see those lanterns flowing up, I couldn’t help wondering what happened to them after the burning fire was gone?
Did the lanterns land on the streets, beautiful green mountains, river, or someone’s windshield while the car is running? 🫣
Was the vendor being able to retrieve and clean up the used lanterns?
20 dollars to get to the top of tower is good. But i climbed the Petronas Towers for Free. But it has fee now also.
Tiwan is nice country.i see japan tokyo is more expensive but Its ok Cool Taiwan 🇹🇼 i am go one day Visite this beutiful Littel country Adorable peopel
Love your video!! Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 I’m planning my first solo trip for my bday in a few months n very nervous but excited. My panic mode when Josh said they got lost but loved his response to it😊
I hope that lantern is biodegradable.
Wasn’t this guy with Amy ?
