I taught in South Korea for a year,,no complaints about the weather ('m from Texas)..it did get cold. some of the kids I taught were privileged assholes (private english school). I loved the people and the food. Koreans are some of the nicest people in the world.
Ahh nice! I’m from Erie & Philly but honestly after so much of my life I realize how detrimental cold weather has been to me haha so now even less than 15 C I don’t want to deal with long periods of time. My happiness is reliant on sunshine 🌞 I’m in Korea now and enjoying it quite a lot, especially the food!
Kayla, if you are still in Taiwan, I’d strongly recommend you to try more of its food there. The food there would definitely rival food you would get in Vietnam, if not better! 金門 is a very snapshot of what Taiwan has to offer. Happy stay. Taiwan is pleased to having you❣️台灣歡迎妳的到來和停留 🍎
As a Vietnamese who have ever lived in Taiwan and even some European countries such as Germany or Finland, I can say that the life in Taiwan is pretty comfortable and quite peaceful and it remains one of the most worth-living countries in my lists. I think I did realize when I was there is people in Taiwan are friendly (ngl, I am talking as an experiencer not foreigner saying initial thoughts or some shits). Taiwanese people in general can not communicate via English, but you actually learn some counting words (like from 1 to 100 which would enable you to do your shopping) and it's quite simple. I just went to the food vendors, pointed at what i want (normally i ticked randomly since I thought i could eat them all) and payed when i was there. Pretty simple, and I avoid talking bcz I couldnot understand anything. Compared to Vietnam, i assume those 2 countries are quite similar. But in Taiwan, somehow the procedures for foreigners from Europe or North America are easier. Moreover, either the low population or the high intellectuality/awareness, the life in Taiwan seems to be safer. Ofc Vietnam is safe but that's what i feel about Taiwan. AND one more thing worth mentioning here is the public transportation. It's optimized pretty much. Except the HSR, with just an easycard, you can literally go everywhere without booking transports in advance. On contrary, Vietnam has many beautiful places in terms of nature, for you to explore and enjoy due to its special favors of Nature. Otherwise, those 2 countries are not much different and you can explore a lot of things. Have fun! :)
As a Taiwanese living in Europe, I also want to visit Vietnam soon in the future. :) Meeting loads of Vietnamese here, they are also friendly, and the food is one of the reasons as well!
@@h5642007 friendly ? nice . you must have met some good people LOL. I don't feel like trusting anyone. Maybe i am pretty much anti-social :))) but hopefully you can find some funs there. afterall, ur country is safer :////
I am a Taiwanese living in the US. I visited Hanoi many years ago when my brother decided to marry a girl from there. I enjoyed the food and scenery there, but was told Pho in the US is not real Vietnamese food. 😂😂😂 We have a lot of Vietnamese immigrants in Taiwan, too. Some have opened up restaurants and their food taste like the Vietnamese restaurants in the US. But Hanoi's food is definitely spiced differently. I am glad you like Taiwan. Best regards.
@@uwsinned tbh I can not distinguish the difference even i am from the north of VN :) not a big fan of Pho though. I think the different tastes may happen due to the fact that some Northern food are cooked slightly differently from its counterparts in the South. And after all, Pho in US is for US citizens, some adjusts have to be made to satisfy customers.
About weather ... as a Taiwanese, I can say they pretty much omitted the typhoon and the earthquake from the menu lol! But if you're in Jinmen, it is still pretty cold. And its not dry cold, its humid cold. The humidity in the air during winter and strong winds makes it a pretty bone biting chilly winter!
You have right decision, and there are so many opinions as I have seen . Please enjoy your stay in Taiwan, and suggest to try to get a golden card to stay longer as you like .
Hahah it's really a hard decision to make and personal, but I know Taiwan was definitely the place. I'm so glad to be here and look forward to the rest of my time 💕
There are always many factors to consider on the list when coming to a decision. Sometimes you just have to go for the decision and then know the result when times come. It's good that you ended up in Taiwan, especially the beautiful place, Kinmen. An adventure going abroad in early stage of life would probably be a fantastic gift you gave yourself. Nothing venture, nothing gain. You must have fruitful experience during your stay overseas. Cheers!
Thanks for your continuos support Chuck! It was definitely a challenge to made such a hard choice but Taiwan has treated me as well as I expected it would!
I'm currently teaching in South Korea right now and I'm also interested in going to Taiwan. To answer your question about whether your ideas are true, I have obviously been to Korea lol and I would say it is definitely cold here during most of the year. I haven't visited Japan or China but I have been to Vietnam and while I love the bustle of it, it is extremely hot and I feel like living there permanently in that type of heat would make me uncomfortable. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it :)
I've been trying to manifest Taiwan into my life for years now! 😍 I have lived in both Japan and South Korea, and I'll probably make videos about my experiences but one point for each is that I don't like how intense Japanese work culture is; and you can't say anything negative about South Korea otherwise the Knetizens and Koreaboos will eat you alive 😶...😬
Welcome to Taiwan when we are open up again! I'd love to see your videos about both Japan and Korea -- I think the countries are quite popular among a "western" audience. Come to Taiwan and most viewers are the people of Taiwan :) Thanks for visiting my channel and let me know if you have any questions about Taiwan :)
In fact, Kinmen is one of the coldest cities in Taiwan, it's around 5°C from December to January, with rain; We usually have no central heating, but maybe you can buy a heater and some hand warmers(uneasily be recycled)
It's really lovely that you chose Taiwan as your first step and I'm sure that every country has something you will love or be worth to visit. However, welcome to Taiwan and hope you enjoy your life in 金門 :))
I was going to teach in Vietnam, but then I found out that they won't let you send your money back to your home country. You have to have a good reason and when you say that you are sending it to your parents as a gift or loan or sending it to your own bank account and they still say NO. I will continue applying here in Cambodia for now, since it is very easy to send your money back to your home country if you find a job.
I have spent one month in Taiwan 🇹🇼❤️ as a French tourist 🇫🇷🗼and I think that the quality of life in Taiwan is better than in France. If I was able to create my own business in Taiwan I would live here permanently.
最後面那個firework那裡讓我大笑XD 但其實妳麥克風收音聽不太出來。 （I laugh out loud when you yelled at the fireworks while you were saying how grateful you are in Taiwan 😂 but actually your microphone didn’t receive much of the noice from that. )
Very interesting video. I had to go through the same thought process...As a UA-camr it was also important to me to be able to stay online and continue my UA-cam channel. I chose Songdo, South Korea for 1 year and after that I came to Beijing. I have been in Beijing for 4 years now. Best decision ever. As a teacher with a teaching degree in English, Geography and Music...the salaries are really good. I am currently working at a American Primary School and their salaries for a normal English Homeroom teacher are on the same level as what a principal makes back in my country of South Africa. I also want to visit Taiwan one day!! Subbed.
You can maybe do an interim in China for a few month in Southern China. It's very close and you can see the shared heritage with Taiwan (Vietnam and China have also shared heritage).
If you ever look into teaching somewhere else I’d highly recommend Vietnam. The weather it really depends on where you are. Hanoi is unbearably hot in the summer (particularly July) and cold in the winter (but not freezing). I liked the weather there with the exception of those summer months. Pre covid people would just fly to Thailand for the weekend to re enter the country on business visas after finding employment but it may not work that way post covid. You are right about the litter, I found Taiwan so much cleaner when I visited! Vietnam is a fabulous country though and the people are very friendly. It’s a cool place to be an expat 🇻🇳
I look forward to traveling to Vietnam and maybe staying a month or so -- who knows if I'd end up teaching but I have a few friends that lived there before and I loved watching their lives there! Plus I love Thailand, so it would be nice to be that close!
Heya, nice to see one of your videos. I started asking the real questions in the search bar.... aaaand I ended up here. Given the current situation, I'm waiting for the borders to open. I agree with what you've said and here's one question I have: The bigger problem right now is fully explaining my decision of leaving (England) and trying to see if I could live in Taiwan. Are there any tips you could provide if you have any? (It was so much easier when I left my home country the first time, no idea why it is so that(aa)t hard now - with the family I mean) I know family differs everywhere you go but anything helps. Keep up the awesome work.
Great questions! Where did you live abroad the first time and how long? For me, I lived away from family for about 7 years in the USA before I moved abroad so it was a simple decision. I think if you're putting your happiness and livelihood first that's what matters -- and if it's not in England, then it may be elsewhere!
@@KaylaCosmos - I moved to Denmark from Romania and lived there for a couple of years. I had some help from my family but was otherwise fine if I didn't have it. I came to England and for a while, I stayed with them. I moved out but I had to return when the lockdowns started. Later I moved out again and returned in August temporarily because my contract ended and couldn't find a suitable place in time. Now I'm kind of forced to stay until I secure another job. There is a lot of back and forth and a level of reliance on them. Now that I am trying to for, lack of a better word, break that they either have doubts or, to be more generous, they want to make sure I'm fine. I trust that I'll be fine but there are some uncertainties for sure. It also does not help that my mom think that ROC is the same as PRC mostly because they have China in the name. With her living through the last parts of the time when Romania was communist and a highly educated person, I am just amazed. (Since when saying that this is the people's republic ever made it so?). Anyways, this is my situation. Safe to say, England is nice and I really like it here. Truth be told if I wanted I could probably enjoy it here, but the question is do I want to? Family says give England a chance but something just doesn't feel totally right.
@@whit_edoesart I understand where your coming from totally. If the energy isnt right you will start to feel depressed and not happy where you are thats how im starting to feel back in England. . As someone who lived in Taiwan and China I would tell you its absolutely nothing like what the media makes it out to be. They are both beautiful in their own ways. I am currently in England myself and also looking to go abroad again. Maybe Taiwan or SE Asia. Let me know if you need any help ✌️🌍
@@Lone_Star86 - Now, of course, if you make some good friends things change but that is like a small pocket of pleasantness. Again, not to say it is bad. I am fine here in England. I trust that both countries have their own charm and would be worth visiting if nothing else. If I were to only have to choose from either (to reside in), I'd more readily choose Taiwan over China. Tis a political system choice (with some societal aspects) more than anything. Right now, if nothing comes up faster (not religious but God willing), I'll probably just wait until I can get British citizenship. That'll surely help fasten applications. Other than that, just figuring out how to best enjoy my time here.
I lived in China for 3 years and I intended to go back, but ya know, COVID! So now I'm reassessing my next move and considering Taiwan for various reasons.
I lived in Taiwan was awesome! Now i dont know wether to come back or go Vietnam, Cambodia or japan arghhh Omg it was so clean in Kaohsiung and Taipei they picked the litter literally everyday, back in the uk its only once a week.
I would really love to teach in Taiwan! I'm currently teaching English here in Vietnam. I'm looking forward for my next country to teach English. Thinking about Japan or Korea. But I might try applying in Taiwan too. As I used to live here for 7 years. Why not try to go back again. Thanks for the info.
Oh nice! You used to live here? What part? I also can't wait to visit Vietnam! And welcome to Taiwan if you chose here, I definitely recommend if the things in my video I talk about appeal to you😍
@@KaylaCosmos Kaohsiung and Hsinchu 😊 thank you Kayla! This gives me a lot of hope! I will try my best. And please, visit Vietnam soon too. Great food and completely different from Taiwan 😂
It might be also worth noting that South Korea does not do criminal record checks for job purposes. So if you are from the UK which by law requires criminal records checks in order to teach in the UK - your home career in teaching may be blocked!
@Daniel-qu2kh you can save 500 US dollars a month while living comfortably. You can save more than that if you eat the school lunch every day, live in a small cheap apartment, and cook for yourself all the time. But I have fun and go out to eat a lot and have a gym membership. I have a cool motorcycle, and I still have extra money at the end of the month. This is not because my salary is so high, but because the cost of living here is so low
4:47 That giant replica of artillery shell erected in commemoration of Victory of 823 Bombardment if it were a real thing, it would be the size similar to cannon shell of the infamous Paris Gun which weighted 1,350 tonnes with its 7-tonne explosive shell that could penetrate even the concrete bunker built in WW2 era on France's Máginot Lìne. Now the development of self-guided precision missile has rendered them obsolete. But we still keep some in place due to low-cost production and maintenance. The shorter range Howitzer ones. ua-cam.com/video/As3NzDQknVc/v-deo.htmlm27s
Hey...your video is really helpful....i am looking for pre school teacher but i don't have any proficiency certificate in English...is IELTS test result work instead of that..?
I’m thinking about potentially teaching English after I graduate college, in large part so that I can learn Chinese much quicker. How was your experience learning Chinese and do you think it’s reasonable to become very proficient in the language through living in Taiwan and teaching English for a year?
1:44 I didn't know conformative was an actual word, until I looked it up. Shouldn't it be conformist though? Lao shi, what's the difference between the two?
Not too much -- but perhaps it's because I felt like life in the US was constantly unstable while daily life in Taiwan is quite stable and safe. Still, I realize the possibility Taiwan may lose its democracy someday...

越南人在台灣很容易找到朋友的
在台灣的越南人很多
我觉得是人情味占了很大的因素，台湾人较热情友善很愿意帮助国外的朋友。
最近10多年很多资讯都推廣台湾文化，很多国外朋友都有好的称赞。
是的，我想是這樣！有時候人們會表現出怎樣的友善，我真的感到驚訝。沒必要，但是人們還是善良的！

@@Lone_Star86 - Now, of course, if you make some good friends things change but that is like a small pocket of pleasantness. Again, not to say it is bad. I am fine here in England.
I trust that both countries have their own charm and would be worth visiting if nothing else. If I were to only have to choose from either (to reside in), I'd more readily choose Taiwan over China. Tis a political system choice (with some societal aspects) more than anything.
Right now, if nothing comes up faster (not religious but God willing), I'll probably just wait until I can get British citizenship. That'll surely help fasten applications. Other than that, just figuring out how to best enjoy my time here.
I lived in China for 3 years and I intended to go back, but ya know, COVID! So now I'm reassessing my next move and considering Taiwan for various reasons.
Beautiful photographs!!
Thank you!
great vid, it's so nice to see you you are happy to stay here in Taiwan Kinmen girl kayla.
很喜歡妳的視頻！加油！快1萬訂閱了！💪
在這個全球受到疫情衝擊下，台灣或許能給妳更多自由去探索不同的生活體驗！♥
謝謝你！我不敢相信我們正朝著10K邁進！
@@KaylaCosmos 努力耕耘你的平台，終會到達。
Definitely made a good choice for you!
金門女孩😊 因為你是一個很獨特的人 💯對台灣跟金門很有感情😇 我支持你🙋♂️給你一個讚👍👌
我一直感謝您的支持！謝謝 ：）
@@KaylaCosmos 😊🙆♂️👍
I lived in Taiwan was awesome! Now i dont know wether to come back or go Vietnam, Cambodia or japan arghhh
Omg it was so clean in Kaohsiung and Taipei they picked the litter literally everyday, back in the uk its only once a week.
This is Kingmen, the frontier island of Taiwan, and the national Kingmen park has many old buildings.
I would really love to teach in Taiwan! I'm currently teaching English here in Vietnam. I'm looking forward for my next country to teach English. Thinking about Japan or Korea. But I might try applying in Taiwan too. As I used to live here for 7 years. Why not try to go back again. Thanks for the info.
Oh nice! You used to live here? What part? I also can't wait to visit Vietnam! And welcome to Taiwan if you chose here, I definitely recommend if the things in my video I talk about appeal to you😍
@@KaylaCosmos Kaohsiung and Hsinchu 😊 thank you Kayla! This gives me a lot of hope! I will try my best. And please, visit Vietnam soon too. Great food and completely different from Taiwan 😂
Thank you for this very informative video Kayla~
Yes! My pleasure to talk about. I hope you found it helpful 🙂
Food is definitely better in Taiwan. Cleaner and safer too but I'll let you decide if you ever get to Vietnam.
Oh I will definitely get to Vietnam.
@skikid00 Agreed. My uncle has been living in Vietnam for over 20 years now and I myself have traveled from south to north Vietnam.
Taiwanese food is not inferior to Vietnam. It's just you were stuck in the Kinmen islands...
越南光用想的就知道能取得比較多的香料
台灣的香料多半是罐裝的，外面的食物又很看人的口味，想想也是理所當然
恭喜Kayla 快破1萬訂閱量了！
It might be also worth noting that South Korea does not do criminal record checks for job purposes. So if you are from the UK which by law requires criminal records checks in order to teach in the UK - your home career in teaching may be blocked!
Because you are smart ☺️
really interesting footage, welcome to Taiwan, hope you have tried all kinds of Taiwanese cuisine.
Thanks for loving and stying in Taiwan
...connection with this little island... STOP THE FIREWORKS!
That is soooo funny.
Hahahahah XD I had so many little problems filming -- I'm losing my sanity haha. I'm glad you thought it was hilarious 😂
I've been teaching in Vietnam for 1 and 1/2 years. It's pretty awesome I have lots of extra money
How much do you save a month and do you just have a non teaching degree
@Daniel-qu2kh you can save 500 US dollars a month while living comfortably. You can save more than that if you eat the school lunch every day, live in a small cheap apartment, and cook for yourself all the time. But I have fun and go out to eat a lot and have a gym membership. I have a cool motorcycle, and I still have extra money at the end of the month. This is not because my salary is so high, but because the cost of living here is so low
4:47 That giant replica of artillery shell erected in
commemoration of Victory of 823 Bombardment
if it were a real thing, it would be the size similar
to cannon shell of the infamous Paris Gun which
weighted 1,350 tonnes with its 7-tonne explosive
shell that could penetrate even the concrete bunker
built in WW2 era on France's Máginot Lìne. Now the
development of self-guided precision missile has
rendered them obsolete. But we still keep some in
place due to low-cost production and maintenance.
The shorter range Howitzer ones.

You are very self aware.
You make the decision based on what you want.
來給金門女孩按讚！
Japan, Korea and Vietnam are all awesome. However, Taiwan is super awesome. You made a good choice.
Yes! I hope to travel to all these countries and enjoy them as well :)
不受控的啼叫聲（笑
笑聲是失去理智的跡象哈哈
@@KaylaCosmos 你是出於無奈吧，要開錄，牠也想出鏡（笑
妳的選擇百分之百正確，金門是最安全的，我支持妳！！！
謝謝你的好評！ :)
Wish u happy everyday
I like the animal background music haha
Hahahaha there's no escaping the sounds of nature here 🤣
Hey...your video is really helpful....i am looking for pre school teacher but i don't have any proficiency certificate in English...is IELTS test result work instead of that..?
Welcome to Taiwan 😊
Thanks Eddie!
So do you have the gold card from Taiwan?
雞叫聲為你打氣，開啟美好的一天
哈哈哈，公雞整天哭！但是我不介意
I love Taiwan also
Welcome to Taiwan :)
Africa is a good choice I love it there but Japan has a LOT of snow so good call.
Ahh wow, do you live in Africa?
@@KaylaCosmos we live in the USA but we go to Africa frequently three months per trip
I’m thinking about potentially teaching English after I graduate college, in large part so that I can learn Chinese much quicker. How was your experience learning Chinese and do you think it’s reasonable to become very proficient in the language through living in Taiwan and teaching English for a year?
還真厲害 3. 2. 1. 雞叫聲. 妳們是商量好的嗎. 🤝 👍 妳所住的金門曾經有駐紮12萬精兵. 如果妳那時候來一定很樂鬧.😃😄😆😁
Best opening ever
苦笑...我明白愛台灣不見得賺大錢，這讓我更有興趣看視頻了😯
我在這裡賺的錢和在美國賺的錢差不多。但是我在台灣的生活要好得多:)我不是一個需要很多錢的人
@@KaylaCosmos 呵呵！樂活跟小確幸囉！我思考著落地生根這件事🤔 反而更有興趣看了！
歡迎來台灣生活、發展事業。
it's okay, I'm Taiwanese but I absolutely love Vietnamese food XD
只能說.. 機會 總是 留給 有準備的人 ，事前 做了完整的功課，才有了 美好的機會 和 後續的美好結果 !!! 尤其是 在 世界大瘟疫 流行下的，台灣 防疫成功下的 美好時機，更加 可貴了 !!! 謝謝 Kayla 來到台灣，豐富了 台灣的生命力 !!!
你說的對！而且我在COVID之前就去了台灣-這次我很幸運能搬到這裡！多虧了台灣，我真的能夠過上美好的生活。
"Why did I say no to China..."
As a Taiwanese, I really don't like this part...
as the tone and your expression are not sarcastic enough.
wwww
웃는 모습이 정말 예쁘세요~
울 오빠 소개해 주고 싶네요. 화가에요. 낭만이 넘쳐나요~
1:44 I didn't know conformative was an actual word, until I looked it up. Shouldn't it be conformist though? Lao shi, what's the difference between the two?
But in the winter, Jinmen is very cold, I think
Yes but this winter we only had like two really cold days
請問金門女孩想去下一個國家是哪裡？要多吃鳳梨喔（當季水果），已訂閱
謝謝你！嗯，接下來要去哪裡？好好待在台灣，直到邊界再次開放。但是我想去泰國！
Believe you ,your choice is right
As a youtuber have you thought about China's plan to reunify with Taiwan? Not trying to be rude, I just want to hear your perspective on it.
Not too much -- but perhaps it's because I felt like life in the US was constantly unstable while daily life in Taiwan is quite stable and safe. Still, I realize the possibility Taiwan may lose its democracy someday...
如果妳能定居下來並成為金門縣民，就能享有金門的福利，而其福利制度是全國最好的
Hi Kayla, can I ask if you worked at Shane English School? Will you come back?
I did! And yes, if you get placed in the right school it's a good experience
Taiwan is a beautiful country. 🇹🇼 👍🏻 ❤️
Absolutely! Do you live in Taiwan or have visited before?
한국 안추워 누나 겨울만 잠깐 춥지
봄 여름 가을 겨울 사계절도 있고
좋아 예쁜누나 한국도 와요
歡迎來台灣
金門，很好玩的
Rooster provides you a ending call
在金門服兵役一年的我⋯印象很差。可能是我不夠了解金門吧。
40年前的金門會比你那時候好嗎？ 俺還蠻喜歡在金門當兵柳。
被虐狂喔⋯⋯

YOU'R SO GOOD , teach english in here.
GOOD CHOICE
I like your video very much.
Hi ,how about your job？How long can stay 金門？
I've been on Kinmen for a year now and will be moving to another city soon!
好奇不覺得台灣的冬天冷嗎?這裡沒有其他地方那麼周全的暖氣系統
是的，但我來自有雪的地方。韓國和日本等國家也更冷，但我現在住在南台灣，冬天一點也不冷。
