I was in Taiwan in 1997 and then returned in 2004 and it was a different world. As Bob mentioned correctly, Taiwan went from being a developing country to a civilized, developed and evolved society. It had fully transformed into an open democracy, national health was in place, the MRT was established and expanding, high speed rail was about to launch and people had become environmentally conscious with recycling being commonplace. Taipei traffic was so much better. I was proud of Taiwan and how it evolved into a 21st century society.
The good old days... He was talking about the places I worked in 1997-2000 on my first stay. Panchiao, Sanchong, Tucheng (& Hsinchuang). Yes, lots of changes - also in terms of the treatment of animals- they didn't seem to be considered pets as much back then, but now they are a lot of people's babies. Taiwan is an amazing country. From the cold city of Ottawa (but hot in the summer).
I knew the McDonald in Tien-mu (天母) back to 1989 since I was lived there (1980 to 1995) near the America school and I had a scooter too, haha !! ....woops, ....yellow light = speed up, OMG, shamed but so true.
I am 61 years old. I came to US in 1987. I am thinking maybe I should go back to Taiwan to retire. I really don't know how much Taiwan has changed in the last 38 years. Ironically I see this through Bob's perspective. It is very interesting to listen your perception of Taiwan.
Same here.. we're in Vancouver and when we retire in a few years.. 5 months in Taiwan during winter months (Nov to March) and 7 months (April to October) back in Vancouver during the spring/summer/early fall season
@@ColeFogle I grew up in Taipei, but I love Kaohsiung very much!! I visited there quite often and had a lot of friends down there when I was in Taiwan many years ago
The musical garbage truck has been at least 5 decades since 1970 or beyond that point. I moved to the United States back in 1992 and I had long remembered back in my childhood with the musical garbage truck day to day in late afternoon.
How the video reached to me. I am from Bangladesh. A few days ago i won gifts because i answered correctly that taiwan makes the most semiconductors in the world. ❤😂

Hi, I am a Chinese living in Ontario. I really like your channel. Although I have not got the chance to visit Taiwan, I like Taiwan food and their music. Taiwanese have done a great job in preserving traditional Chinese culture such as traditional Chinese.
聽完你們的談話，我笑了很多次，例如，黃燈不是停下來，而是speed up，還有two million 的摩托車，還有騎車回家，臉是黑😂😂😂的。
我今年64歲，聽你們的談話，我好像回到過去的時光，謝謝分享。
謝謝你的收看和留言
他真的很懂台灣，黃燈都是加速用的
加拿大🇨🇦也是加束用的好嗎，但冬天會自己變減數😂😂
Actually it depends. If you are too close to the lights, speed up; otherwise slow down.
看到兩個老傢伙在講幹話 , 當然我也是(1965 ,Taipei ) !! 第一次聽到用英文描述老台灣情景 , 深深表示同感 , 眼淚快流下來 !!
還好啦~~ 是在~講古~ ( 台語比較接近原意 )
相反地，我看到三個美國年輕人用漢語在聊住台灣的趣事，那才令人吃驚。

😆哈哈
真的是兩個阿伯坐在公園聊往事😂
1963,Taipei
200萬輛摩托車....阿伯有夠誇張😂
從Bob 口中回憶近40年前的台灣，許多描述touching my heart ，會心的一笑，也喚起兒時的記憶，Thank you Fogle
Thank you 😊
我們何其幸運能生活在寶島台灣，真的，打從心底認同這片土地，意即接受台灣不管是美麗的或醜陋的一面，她都是我們最幸福、自由、包容的國家。
❤️
可愛的Bob真得描述的是我小時候的場景😅，超生動😊
感受到他真得喜歡台灣❤
他真心喜歡台灣，他每年一定都會來台灣玩
我是台灣人現在86歲，1969年來多倫多直到現在。50年來回台三次。萬分高興聽到你們倆人的談話--解鄉愁。
1992年那時新光三越都還在灌漿嘞⋯。那時的南陽街真是超級多學生的⋯。
真正在台灣生活、貢獻台灣,就是真正的台灣人,台灣當然應該照顧他的晚年😊
最後講黃燈是加速，不是減速 我大笑，還有台灣紅綠燈不是看前面，是看旁邊車道的 哈哈哈哈哈
😂
😂要遵守當地人的交通習俗
6:58這台是YAMAHA DT125，當時1989年我也買了一台二手的，台幣三萬...很懷念的機車🥰🥰🥰
每每看到外國人全世界各地到處闖蕩最後落腳台灣的故事，我就深深覺得自嘆不如，人家真的是在體驗世界營造人生，我好像是在溫室裡的植物隨著環境長大。😅
住在台灣太舒服了，很難離開
那就多出世界走走，才能知外國說:為台灣好!
English is the ticket to live abroad
冬天在台灣夏天在加拿大避暑大概就是最好的退休方式了
那也是我的夢想
這是甜蜜的生活
很佩服Bob，我是1981出生，1987~89是我最懷念的年代，但持平而論那不是一個很和諧的年代，尤其剛解嚴社會的氛圍充滿碰撞，粗略來說那年代的台灣人給人的感覺多數是魯莽的，所以很難以置信居然會有外國人會愛上這樣的台灣，但事實也證明Bob的選擇是對的，台灣真的越來越好了。
你最懷念的年代是你6歲到8歲？
而且你能感受到「解嚴」的社會氣氛😂😂😂😂
@@ericf1461 不奇怪的
@@AkisakaiRyou
只能怪我太智障了， 6 歲到八歲， 還沒有讀報紙的習慣😭😭😭
那年代的台灣人給人的感覺多數是魯莽的
因為那時是台灣經濟的黃金年代，整個社會充滿了希望與活力，新鮮的事物層出不窮，換作是日本；香港也都是一樣的道理~
聽加拿大女婿❤阿杯和大叔聊台灣1989到2024的歷史變化還真有趣方！從開發中道路黑暗期到現在已開發繁榮民主社會，很有感，剛好也是我的年代，台灣真的很棒！也謝謝兩位愛台灣！😊
借轉發分享喔！
真的！台灣快速發展是隨著解嚴開始，也就是李登輝起頭，阿扁後續，到了馬英九又慢了下來等待中國跟上來！等到蔡英文又增速發展。他們這些外語老師見證了歷史！
謝謝你歡迎分享❤️
很棒的故事，Bob有著跟很多台灣人共同的回憶，看著他描繪的神情，台灣已是他生命中的一部分
❤️
我很喜歡聽你們說故事
謝謝你
講到台灣的食物Bob臉上充滿喜悅 發自內心的感受
真的能感受到他對台灣的感情
遇到同鄉又同是蘇格蘭裔，Cole一定很開心；
Bob 的人生經歷真豐富，可考慮寫成一本書；
奧美廣告很知名，突然覺得他像肯德基爺爺；

Strawberries were around, just not as prevalent. As a kid in the 80’s, my parents would frequently take us to strawberry farms.
Love Taiwan Strawberries ❤
Bob好可愛，又成熟又童心，我也好懷念1989～2000年的台灣
1990年代台北就是交通黑暗期⋯。有夠誇張的亂七八糟的，還鋪一堆鐵板，騎摩托車沒事就看到自摔⋯。
哇😧
能在退休後，有時間到各國旅遊，真的很幸福
真的很幸福😊
Bob 見証了當年台灣黎明前最黑暗及最光明的年代..Bob 有一個概念錯了..他說當年没有高鉄年代..1989年時..台北到高雄..須5-6小時 高速公路時間...Bob 你完全錯了..在1979年.當時台北到高雄只能到館前路..及火車站前的那間大大百貨公司現址去坐野雞大巴回南部..當年那是一大片空地...全是停野雞大巴車哦...一部野雞大巴..二十四時...來回不停跑..一天大約可以跑七趟 三小時(台北到高雄) 超載中間走道給椅子坐滿客人們哦. 大約可以載到六十到七十年 60*150=9000元/日 9000*7=63000/周 30*63000=1890000 /月12*1890000=22680000/年 而一部野雞大巴..進口引擎五百萬左右..那時是台灣野雞大巴士最繁榮年代..每逢三大節日時..前一晚下班時...人山人海...一大堆人湧到那兒去坐野雞大巴士..回高雄..當年大巴士票價為150 及180元(送一缶養樂多及餅乾).台北到高雄..三個小時即可以扺達...大巴士上可以觀賞錄影帶電影..有時也會放A片哦...後來大部分都放豬哥亮歌廳秀了.這是台灣經濟起飛年代..也是台灣錢淹脚目年代 .Bob 說的要六小時.是後來政府整頓了野雞車..大一統..變成統聯公司..限速了..而且現在高速公路上又常見塞車..所以台北到高雄要六小時..後來高鉄有了 就坐高鉄了.....大家就棄統聯及國光號大巴了...
鐵、罐
好驚奇！你的一個月有30週，難怪算來野雞車那好賺！台灣錢淹腳目。哈哈！
原來整頓野機車之前是這麼瘋況的情況
是一個月😅30天的收益啦!@@黃圓頭
1990年2月台股指數12682這數字一直到幾年前才總算突破！當時可是台灣錢淹腳目的時代！
聽你們聊天，我笑了好多次!! 你們真是可愛又勇於嘗試新事務。
唯一那一句黃燈加速而不是停下來讓我笑了😂
😂
日本基本上大家也是黃燈加速，不會急停下來
哈哈哈！德国的驾照老师也是这么说的，要加速！
甚至我们这里有全世界可以飙车到160km的超高速high way( Auto Bahn)!
退休一半在台灣一半在母國最棒的人生 我也是 一下回美國一下回台灣

台灣的確在你們心中留下了美好經歷，所以年老後都願意選擇在台灣落居。
年老後選擇留在臺灣是因為健保醫療😅😅
@@陳秀鈴-j8c 這世界也不是只有台灣的健保醫療好😂，這一點肯定有，但台灣的人們台灣的安全性台灣方便性台灣的生活成本，都是他們考慮的因素。
畢竟也有很多有專業年輕人來台定居，他們也不完全是為了健保⋯⋯而且他們也不是沒有付出，他們拿著外幣養老金來台是有消費的。
@@beavis326 既然來台生活當然需要消費，只是他們會在故鄉跟台灣之間作決擇的其中原因是台灣的健保醫療
I watched several of Bob’s videos. They are quite serene.
He’s a great guy ❤
Right after 35 years now on Jan. 6th., 2024⋯⋯ Bob remembered back the old days in Taiwan！I am 60 yrs old now and being thr. these
These beautiful memories make life wonderful
Smell the sea and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly into the Taiwan.

如果你看著地圖都能在台灣迷路，在那個沒有智慧型手機的年代，去日本的話就死定了。
台灣的地圖，門牌號碼的邏輯是很正常的，找到什麼路就能摸到幾巷幾號(除了一些比較特別的巷弄)。但在日本，日本的地址對外國人而言根本是解謎遊戲。日本的地址往往最後是「╳╳町幾號」，日本人是以「町」為單位來編門牌號碼，並不對應路名。一般而言，町辦公室是1號，然後沿著町辦公室為中心，離町辦公室越近的號碼越小，反之越大。在正常的國家，你有地圖，找得到路名，就能順藤摸瓜找到正確的地址。但在日本，日本的門牌號碼編碼方式，不要說外國人，連日本人自己都被考倒。一般日本人也只知道自己家的門牌號碼，還有可能左右鄰居是幾號有點印象。你直接拿地址問日本人也沒用，在日本問題一定得去問警察。
Viewing this whole video bring me back to the old days of Taiwan. Bob is a true Taiwanian, he has all the same memories like mine.
Do you still live in Taiwan?
The Taiwan avocado looks like a variety called the Reed avocado which is massive, much bigger than the more common Hass.

台灣黃燈千萬別急停，好像也對，不然後面可能就撞上來了⋯。
有時候真的不知道要不要停
@@ColeFogle 按著喇叭，跟他拼了！😎😎
撞上來是後車的問題，沒保持安全距離。
@@jeremylin976 台灣現在就是太誇張的教育所謂路權，事實上，沒出事之前，根本沒有什麼權利需要討論的，難道你過完馬路，回頭跟停等車輛說我剛剛過馬路是我行使路權中嗎？所以防禦性駕駛原比路權重要多了，不然真的是7天後回家，你討論對錯有用嗎？
哈哈哈😂😂😂 黃燈要加速 莫停！ 是台灣人沒錯～❤❤❤
😂還是要注意安全

食物口味正是台灣企業的核心價值之最重要之一。
珍珠奶茶類，飲料可以有奶茶或鮮奶，珍珠或波霸，然後微糖、少糖、半糖、全糖。你可以算看看多少種組合，必須在幾分鐘之內完成出餐。
這種衍生機種，在工廠術語叫skews ，在大量生產的時候，是很難管理的，同樣主板，搭配不同大小的螢幕，麥克風，藍牙版本，按鍵文字，出貨地點。全世界只有台灣做得到。
