    Hi Matt, I am a bit new to your channel (but trying to catch up), am married to a south China girl but living in Tokyo with 3 baby girls. More of a 2 wheeled cyclist myself, but am enjoying your channel in the evenings. Many thanks! Ross.

    Loved this episode Matt. It felt to me like you've finally got your groove back. Haven't felt this vibe since maybe your South Japan episodes. I kinda think it's also because the drone shots were so interesting. Those really help, perhaps more than simply filming forwards, to show the viewer just what you're riding through, especially the scale of it. Little trike in a big beautiful world. Glad to be along for the journey from here in Brooklyn.

      People think to badly of rain. It's not a big deal. It annoys when it's cold and you see no chance to get warm and dry, but in a place like Taiwan, where the weather during the summer time is hot hot hot - rain takes it down to a comfortable temp. Getting wet is not a big deal, sometimes it can even be fun, like you saw he had.

    Betelnut stands. And you are right that they are truck driver bates, so they often tended by girls wearing not too much stuff. The more you go south the more there are. Prepare for some eye feasts. Try some betelnuts too.

  • @RichardCournoyer
    @RichardCournoyer 6 років тому +19

    Matt, those little shops with the bright lights...that stay lite late into the night are selling betel nuts. (Beatle nut, some lime, wrapped in a betel nut leave. It is often used by Taxi and Truck drivers (99.9% men) to offer a little cocaine like buzz. They spit out the juice as a red liquid (you'll see the stains on the ground all around Taiwan. As the saying goes, sex sells, so quite often the little tiny stores are maned (lol) but young, scantily clad girls. The game is to have the girl walk to your vehicle, order the betel nut...and see how many times you can get her to and from teh store....(watching her walk towards and away)....games men play. You have to stop and interview one of the girls....you know....for science.

      Everyone here is spot on. When I visited Taiwan on business, after work some coworkers drove me out to onethose little shops. Out walks a girl who leans in the car. They order some belts nut wrapped up, and she comes back with it. And they had me try it. Not too tasty and it really gets the saliva flowing. Turns your teeth black if you eat to much too often.

    Matt, as a compromise for the “face/no face” vote, you might try cutting away from your face at times, but continue your voice over on beauty shots, drone footage, drive-by’s, etc. (sorry, probably a bit more editing on your part. It’s an old editors’ trick) Then you get the best of both! Love the vlogs. Here’s to more downhills!

    The use of areca-nut will lead to warm sensation and make you feel refreshing

    Hey , I watched a lot of your videos yesterday night. there are so good. I do not like destroying moutations for farming. By the way how long you have been living in China? What you think of the change of forest rate in China. Do you think China has much more forest than 10 years ago? or much less ? what you think the forest rate in China 10 years ago and now ? How you think about the nature. Sorry I have too many questions. Maybe because of my father, I started to have interest in where my root is from.

  • @sasaf8111
    @sasaf8111 6 років тому +1

    Plenty of people already answered your question. So yeah, they sell betel nuts (aka areca nut). Don't try them. It can be addicting. More importantly, one can get oral cancer if consumed too much. Those betel nut stands used to be really popular and made good money. So, they would have young and attractive girls stationed in there wearing skanky clothes. Don't see much of those anymore. Older/average women now (compared to before).

      Sun Moon Lake is a famous tourist destination among Chinese group tourists, so Falun Gong is there "to show them the 'truth'".
      Falun Gong shows up in every tourist destination where there are a lot of Chinese tourists. It's not only in Taiwan, but all over the world outside of China.

    • @JaYoeNation
      @JaYoeNation  6 років тому

      but what is Fafun Gong? im sorry i am ignorant on this.

    • @Nilguiri
      @Nilguiri 6 років тому +1

      (snippets from Wikipedia. I recommend you read the whole article. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong)
      Falun Gong is a Chinese spiritual practice that combines meditation and qigong exercises with a moral philosophy centred on the tenets of truthfulness, compassion, and forbearance. The practice emphasizes morality and the cultivation of virtue and identifies as a qigong practice of the Buddhist school, though its teachings also incorporate elements drawn from Taoist traditions. Through moral rectitude and the practice of meditation, practitioners of Falun Gong aspire to eliminate attachments, and ultimately to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
      The practice initially enjoyed support from Chinese officialdom, but by the mid to late 1990s, the Communist Party and public security organizations increasingly viewed Falun Gong as a potential threat due to its size, independence from the state, and spiritual teachings. By 1999, government estimates placed the number of Falun Gong practitioners at 70 million. During that time, negative coverage of Falun Gong began to appear.
      On 20 July 1999, the Communist Party leadership initiated a nationwide crackdown and multifaceted propaganda campaign intended to eradicate the practice. It blocked Internet access to websites that mention Falun Gong, and in October 1999 it declared Falun Gong a "heretical organization" that threatened social stability. Falun Gong practitioners in China are reportedly subject to a wide range of human rights abuses: hundreds of thousands are estimated to have been imprisoned extrajudicially, and practitioners in detention are subject to forced labour, psychiatric abuse, torture, and other coercive methods of thought reform at the hands of Chinese authorities. As of 2009, human rights groups estimated that at least 2,000 Falun Gong practitioners had died as a result of abuse in custody. Some observers put the number much higher, and report that tens of thousands may have been killed to supply China's organ transplant industry (see Organ harvesting from Falun Gong practitioners in China). In the years since the persecution began, Falun Gong practitioners have become active in advocating for greater human rights in China.
      Hundreds of thousands are estimated to have been imprisoned extrajudicially, and practitioners in detention are reportedly subjected to forced labour, psychiatric abuse, torture, and other coercive methods of thought reform at the hands of Chinese authorities. The U.S. Department of State and Congressional-Executive Commission on China cite estimates that as much as half of China's reeducation-through-labour camp population is made up of Falun Gong practitioners.
      Amnesty International said at least 100 Falun Gong practitioners had reportedly died in the 2008 calendar year, either in custody or shortly after their release. Falun Gong sources have documented over 3,700 deaths. Investigative journalist Ethan Gutmann estimated 65,000 Falun Gong were killed for their organs from 2000 to 2008 based on extensive interviews, while researchers David Kilgour and David Matas reported, "the source of 41,500 transplants for the six-year period 2000 to 2005 is unexplained".
      In 2006, allegations emerged that a large number of Falun Gong practitioners had been killed to supply China's organ transplant industry.
      ... called attention to the extremely short wait times for organs in China-one to two weeks for a liver compared with 32.5 months in Canada-noting that this was indicative of organs being procured on demand. It also tracked a significant increase in the number of annual organ transplants in China beginning in 1999, corresponding with the onset of the persecution of Falun Gong. Despite very low levels of voluntary organ donation, China performs the second-highest number of transplants per year.

    This is a special betel nuts selling culture only in Taiwan.

  • @Liliana-lw7by
    @Liliana-lw7by 6 років тому

    At 3:25 the guy said "等一下到派出所拍一個照!Trump萬歲!世界和平!反同性戀!" that's means "Let's go to the police station to take a picture. Long life for Trump! Peace for the world! Against homosexual!" He also said "how is your wife? "
    He seems to know you , maybe he watches you on youtube, so he wants to take a picture with you.
    Or maybe he doesn`t know you, is because you are firming with your camera and by looking the words on the paper of your bike, so he knows you are a youtuber and wants to take a picture with you.
    But is very weird to take you at the police station to take picture 😱

    your "I love you" may have caused a misunderstanding. He said "Everyone live a long life! World peace! I am gay!". He wanted to take a photo with you in the police station. Did he wanted to register you as his partner?? xD
