Definitely be indulging in some Brandy after yes no okay so just on its own single yeah yeah all right thank you we got to finish these first tastes like a soft fish okay give it a go all right so which one do you
Have first Apple onion I’ve got onion all right definitely like doy but you can get that kind of fish taste that’s really good I agree I think with the onion slightly better it’s good with the apple as well I mean that’s interesting because when we when we looked on the menu it was the one thing that we picked out was
What is bird pet Rose exactly that’s right we were talking about it we thought it was like kind of like a fish egg or something and then here it is and complimentary compliments with the house very nice amazing excellent very good this mini baby octopus I think all
Right baby you’re up D hatch faab very good yeah little salty salty but nice with beer this I’m not not going to like it very good so baby baby that looks like bacon is that bacon on there it might be because it tastes salty [Music] bacon delicious and we try sip of beer
Now I get what you mean yeah it’s definitely like a pigs in a blanket yeah like the salty and there a hint of fish hint but not it’s not overpowering not chewy and the texture is good Chewy with the beer yeah it makes sense that’s actually really decent does look like bacon no it’s not though it’s bacon you get kind of fatty essence of bacon and salty and it almost tastes like like pork fat or something or whatever yeah that’s fun that
Yeah I actually think that’s pretty good so you brought us this drink we uh like a in like G with the lemon juice okay lemon juice and I will try the one shot in the m and The Taste the salt mhm and The Taste the demo okay and so what is

Bye we are still in taipe um we are finally out exploring after a little bit of a work morning um and we’re going to head out and we’re going to the Lang Shan po soup dumpling place’s going
To follow the dot while I talk um and we were recommended this location to have some amazing dumplings by the owner one of the owners of the bar that’s in our hotel so we’re going to go check that out this supp to be a really popular thing to eat here in Taiwan popular
Taiwanese cuisine and uh yeah we’ll take you guys along with us and then I think uh we’ll just going to walk through the streets of taipe we have a couple things on the list but I’m not
Going to tell you yet we’ll get and you also never know so sometimes we say we’re going to do things and then other things happen so we’ll see but it’s a really lovely day uh no it’s a
Lovely day what I don’t know I don’t understand really nice neighborhood though yeah it is for sure so we’re currently in the zing zing thinging something District I don’t know I’m not good with the pronunciation of everything Jim ding I Jing ding Jim ding so I think the x is like a sound
Mhm yeah I’m not really sure so this so This walking District actually was built just after the uh the I think it was just after the world war it was built by the Japanese mhm um and then obviously uh when the Japanese left Taiwan um it just continued to develop and it’s actually
Now really um an affluent area lots of like uh clubs and bars and restaurants and it’s um quite popular with the the younger people in terms of the night scene so yeah well we’re going to take you guys there later but there’s actually at the specific Street wow I just missed
The light which um which is interesting the lights are really cute um whenever it’s time for to walk they show the little green walk and the guy is actually walking which is super cute somewhere here and then um yeah I’ll find that in a second so we’re going to take you
Guys there later and it’s got a really cut see got a really cutesy neighborhood maybe here look what is this look this is a restaurant downstairs lots of PL I I don’t I have it on the map but I can’t find the exact one
We wanted to go to okay so we’re at Mr Pink it’s super cute like here they absolutely love these little games these little not games they’re like you know Co dispensers I guess it’s like just basically a random what one you get so it’s like
Well you choose your theme and then you know but these are super popular here we got the change machine and the claw machines are super popular here too um definitely reminds me of Japan this
Kind of thing um that was Japan was the first uh Asian country we went to on our jood CU I remember those from when I was when I was young I used to be outside like every news agent or whatever yeah
But uh maybe not so much nowadays okay so where is this dumpling place I think it’s in here food Panda sounds good uh I think it’s here I think it’s this one yeah I think so we’re here might
As well it’s actually kind of tricky because a lot of the science haven’t got English translation so it’s hard to know what the name of the restaurant is okay so unfortunately it’s closed so that’s okay there’s lots of other things to choose from so which one though that’s the problem and
Yeah like leam was saying it’s difficult because they don’t a lot of them don’t have the English translation many do many do of course but some of the smaller ones don’t and it’s really difficult if you don’t speak the language like that kind of special place like you know you hear about these
Places from the locals like you want to try them but it’s really tricky but that was a shame that was just by chance I mean maybe we could try it tomorrow morning or something or all right oh well
We tried okay so now where now what now I guess we just find somewhere else I guess we wonder and see oh wait I want to try this yeah this is very traditional here I’m trying this I saw
This morning it like bread with onion and eggs pretty sure going to try that give it a try Okay so this here I can’t remember what the name is but we are going to give that a
Try and um here in taiw want tea culture oong tea is super popular hello hi what what is in this this what is inside okay uh how much for one 30 30 okay thank you I’ll have one one yeah
Thank you thank you thank you nice thank you what is the name name name what this this what trying to ask what the name of it is um but give me a minute I asking onion M biscuit is this really popular here in taipe this kind of uh food uh quite quite popular
But it’s different different taste ah different store different taste okay and what do you call it here what is the what do you you your name toing okay okay thank you oh that was nice see everybody’s super helpful very
Friendly thank you thank you okay so let’s see M what do we have here it’s perfect this is the perfect hi we don’t have L mango now no okay so but this is really popular food right here in Tha we are shave I shaved ice but this this is like uh popular
Food here yeah you can see that here okay you have all different things you can put inside okay let me order here and then I will come back the one with peanuts and corn is very popular I’ll try one oh my gosh I snuck a bite of that because I’m so hungry
And I forgot to sit down and really taste it and it’s delicious I just want to eat more of it 19 wow okay how much sorry 0 90 okay trade are you okay to be on YouTube it’s okay it’s okay okay very good okay and what is the name of
This okay perfect I I I try but I’m not very good okay we’re going to find a little spot over here down and give it a try Leon loves corn so I think he’ll probably enjoy this you don’t you don’t like icy stuff too much but I’m sure it’ll
All right go okay try this fast okay so you got to get a bit of ice you got to get a bit of corn and a bit of the white all together and a bit of what all of it yeah big scoop interesting it’s
Not bad I mean it’s cold from the ice so you can put as much ice as you want if you love it icy you know but I don’t know if you’re supposed to mix it more I yeah definitely nutty and like it’s not bad
And not my favorite but it’s not like it’s yeah I mean I’m not sure I’d get that yeah but it is it’s nice yeah it’s okay I mean I’m not sure I’d B all of it again but I can see why like you said
It’s refreshing um Corn’s good yeah all right try the next thing all right let’s try this so H that’s nice m that’s good egg and like I don’t know if it’s egg you think it’s egg inside I don’t know I see the onion it’s hard to tell inside if
It’s cheese or egg or I love it this is really good I like this one a lot M this guy that’s different yeah there’s 7-Eleven over there 7-Eleven like everywhere what’s this here huh I yeah okay so we finished we got there’s like literally shops and stores and restaurants and
Food and Shakes and all you could imagine oh there have some dumplings here so beef I know beef noodle is supposed to be really popular all sorts of different types of things here M I don’t want visca no thank you what Vis organs oh really yeah yeah so um yeah I know
This popular thing I’m not such a fan though of um organs personally but oh this is cute look having said that we is my friend m r yesterday you can do that do anything well no but I mean that’s fit look like fish eggs right that wasn’t so bad I really liked that
Yesterday actually okay well we’re still on the hunt for something a little more satisfying so we’re to come down here this is The Pedestrian this is the market yeah ah here’s the soy milk desserts too okay so apparently these are really popular
Too so I think the way that you’re supposed to do it is you buy these and then you dip it into the sweet soy milk it’s supposed to be really popular but we’re looking for something a little
More hearty right now well do you want to walk down this District or go to the area that we were going to go to originally we’ll maybe go to where we wanted to go we’re going to come back here
Anyway yeah so we’re going to take you guys down there later on in the video um we do want to go and check something out um and I think it closes at 6 so we’re going to make our way there first this smells delicious whatever this is looks like a big moon
Cake M very nice okay oh so it’s very clean you know the one thing I have to say um is that the city is very very clean very efficient and everyone is oh I don’t know
If we’re going to make this run run run run wait a minute oh okay oh look at the 7-Eleven babe look look this is a little hello Kitt look oh wow 7even this is a Hello Kitty 7eleven we we really like 7-Eleven let’s check this out oh look so sorry so cute
[Music] look wow it’s so cute this is interesting look at this this is chili flavored hardboiled eggs look babe this is chili chili flavored hardboiled eggs and they’re like on the counter they’re not even refrigerated so interesting figure out cu that was how they do a 50 look we’ve got the different denominations
Here wow this building’s really nice very nice this Japanese restaurant very cool the one thing that I wanted to mention that I’ve noticed here um is that often people um in different countries will refer to people in different ways like for
Example in Canada many times people will say ma’am um I noticed in Philippines as well a lot of people will address me with ma but what’s really interesting here in Taiwan that I’ve noticed so far is that uh people tend to say lady so they’ll be like and you lady what
Can I get for you lady and um I think this is the first country that i’ I’ve I’ve heard that in and I think it’s kind of cute fun fact when I was a kid I had a cat named lady oh you can’t even see
I said to Le I’m like I’m like oh Let’s cross the road we’ll have a better view of the bank of Taiwan but um yeah the pillars are on that that side so it’s very nice but the front the
Front is better um it’s really cool they have these big huge Crossways look at this look at the size over here of the road I love the trees how the trees are like flat tops all these trees
Surrounding us there alone just like yeah very well groomed almost like like a like a bon ey or something you know yeah exactly yeah hello hi yeah wow look at this look it’s got like a massive massive massive massive massive intersection it’s so big but I think it’s
Like like in England um near Buckingham Palace and stuff they have like massive because they they Clos it off for like events so maybe I’m just guessing but I would think that they will close all of this off when they have big events and they have like massive barriers in front so
It’s definitely a very beautiful building very important things going on there so did and you can just make out the typ 101 Building over there as well is awesome look cool bunai Garden maybe is cool we were just walking and talking and like look there’s like barbed wire on the other
Side of the Bush here I don’t know if you can see and we were like imagine if you were like a foreigner like us and you didn’t know where you were you’re walking back at night you know
And you want to like mess around or playing around trying to hop the thing that would not be pleasant yeah wow I’ve never seen that kind of thing before wow look at the trees there that’s
Proper Bonsai no that’s what it kind of looks like to me yeah is that a bonsai tree guys I don’t know a lot about you know trees but like I feel like that’s kind of like a bu and look what’s
Really cool they have all the Chinese uh year symbols on the ground shoose what you want to see lots of scooters here in Taiwan very popular to have scooters and this Crossing system look babe oh you just asked now look now people are walking across on a diagonal okay we’ll do it we
We were trying to figure out why huh so I guess you can Walk This Way During certain hours like cross As an X now it’s 68 it’s 4:20 and the time in here says 4:10 to 4:30 so I don’t know what
That means maybe it’s School times maybe scho yeah the kids to cross yeah cuz this is the high school there one of the things I I never realized or never I didn’t know is that uh taipe is
So green and so Lush like there’s so many different trees and bushes and I I just I don’t know why I just thought like it’ be more of a cityscape but there’s a lot of green spaces and it’s really beautifully done you know so and it’s very fresh like
You it feels very clean there’s actually not a lot of vehicles on the road it seems quite kind of modest on that sense um definitely a really really nice environment oh yeah there
So behind me here is uh jishu Park so we’re going to go take a look I mean I I don’t have data I only have Maps which is thank you Maps um so I can only give you a little bit of information
We’ll go check the sign uh but it looks beautiful like all the I can’t get over how pretty this city is and like over there too look at the little Pras they’re P I can’t remember what they’re called Cod
Perola I don’t Pera I don’t know that’s so bad we should know that by now after where we’ve been I was just saying to Leon I find like a lot of the times like you you go to these beautiful places
And I know they need to light them up at night and all that kind of stuff I know the reason why it’s there but there’s so many times that we go places and we want to like take photos there’s
Always just like a eyesore like look like why do you need the lamp there like I could go from this angle over here to take a photo but if you want to do like the widespread thing it’s like they could
Have put the lab somewhere else you know so many places the worst one was koala Lampur oh B at the bat caves there’s like this big massive one I’m like why of all the places yeah unbelievable yeah
Oh well what can you do we’re trying to figure out who this is specifically uh but I can’t see a plaque lots of rules you can’t gamble in this park there’s a lot of No gambling signs so I’m
Assuming that that’s the thing wow look at that gate over there what is that so pretty the Liberty Square Arch over here Liberty Square Arch absolutely stunning yeah absolutely stunning spectacular look at that wow do you see that’s spectacular yeah that is really spectacular
Wow [Music] oh that’s like buy how trippy is this yeah look at this yeah like that I it’s beautiful but this is it gets me very dizzy like when you look down and when you walk I’m just going to say that’s like a design flaw um or unless it’s done intentionally I don’t
Know we haven’t done our research so it could represent something like that but it feels like spatially things are shifting yeah it almost feels like the ground’s moving yeah it’s weird people who gave their lives to uh found a country the Republic of China in
1912 oh because so we’re here in taiwan’s uh democracy Memorial Park and this is the Monument of jun kek if I’m pronouncing that correctly as you can see just there it’s a very famous monument um it dates back nearly 50 years to 1975 and Jun kek he was the leader of the Nationalist
Party he was also a military figurehead as well um made some Great accomplishments and um what basically happened was in the Chinese Civil War um he fled back to Taiwan after being defeated by the CCP the Communist Party in the mainland um and established a national government here
Um and is a very famous uh famous character here in Taiwan so it’s really nice to be here and be part of that history um and yeah another really cool thing is the uh the the he the flags the
The Sun the reason they’ve put the sun white is they believe in the white sun which burns brighter than the yellow sun you just said or something we kind of me too I’m just I’m just regurgitating information but yeah and then you have this look at the like look at this it’s
Incredible so nice so just so you guys are aware um around like right now it’s 511 um but I think it’s just at Sunset they have uh the lowering of the flag and they bring it down right
Now they’re rolling it in I believe they’re going to March it up to the top so if that’s something that you’re interested in seeing you can come here for Sunset and also it looks like the sunset would be really really beautiful see it here just a little overclass right now so if
You want you could come to this area for that and then head over to the night market after let wow look at these they’re so pretty [Music] wow H I love that kind of stuff like a tea
Set like that I would totally buy to bring home if I wasn’t traveling full time so right now we are walking through um this little area here is called yuanling street yanling street I don’t know if there’s a specific name for the market but um yeah it’s really pretty Sun’s
Just gone down everybody’s out strolling I wanted to try some food but I’m dying of thirst so I need to find somewhere that sells drinks which we have not been successful in yet are you you guys don’t need to see me byy under it maybe they wouldn’t
Maybe they do but they’re not going to okay so we’re at a little market here it’s not so much of a food market at the front but it looks like it’s edging towards food yeah it looks like a spice kind of a little bit of everything look
There beint over there yeah that’s cute cornn oh this is a full-on proper Market inside we are dying of thirst so I need a drink then we can carry out look this cool hello hi cool cool yeah I’m not sure I wonder whose feet they
