Love your new contents from Taiwan. Looks like a beautiful country. Can you share your everyday life in Taiwan...like the surroundings, nature and traditional food? I'd like to visit one day.
Wow! Your opening dialogue ECHOS. Your new place seems big enough to fit your old place inside it! Has anyone ever told you that your voice gets super light, gentle and melodic when you talk to T? It's very different than when you speak to us, or other people on screen. It's really quite lovely to hear.
Haha I need to fill this place with stuff so it doesn’t echo!! & only sometimes it goes high. Depends on my mood 😂😅 there are plenty of times I edit out my regular or stern voice 😬
11:00 you might find some king-size duvet covers and sheets in hola or ikea. If you want to have more choices, you should go to bedding store like '床枕e專家', '山鶯寢飾', '柔瑟家具名床寢具' and so on. You could search chinese key words like '寢具'(bedding), '被套'(duvet cover), '床包' (bed sheet) with your living city name in google map to look for these bedding stores. 12:53 yes, it's msg + salt. One teaspoon is 5 gram. It's lacto vegetarian version.
As a Taiwanese, I am surely most Taiwanese people hoping you guys enjoy your life in Taiwan! Please ignore our neighborhood haters, and we are not their F***ING CITY.
I’m still binge watching all of your japan vlogs. Going to miss all your girls and fun day trips you all have, you taking off your makeup when you get home, going to sleep after midnight , reapplying makeup in the morning with your coffee.... ohhh Jen 😢😢
Late Puppy 😂😂 lol of course I do. I discovered her channel a few weeks and have been catching up watching all her vlogs and been really enjoying them. Is that ok with you?
I’ll miss that vibetwo that I have back in Japan and hope to establish something like that here. And wow you’re watching my old vlogs !?!? Thank you!!!!
Your videos give me so much comfort..😭 I think it’s hard to live in a new country until you get used to it but hope you get really comfy soon! Looking forward to more updates☺️
For sure it is!! I remember feeling that in Japan when I first moved there~ I think because I did it before it definitely helps remembering that any time you feel uncomfortable it’s just a matter of time before you become used to everything :)
Love that black top you held up! You might want to get some decorative goods with different textures to warm your place up. Especially pillows & throws. Other than that, love your new place! So spacious.
Still can't get over how big your place is. So big it echoes! So much fun watching you make it your own. Even though we don't have Ikea here, I've bought Ikea items back to Hawaii in my suitcase and one thing I love are their duvets and duvet covers! So much fun seeing you and T exploring your new surroundings! My bf is a HUGE Oreo fan! He wanted to know how the Oreo cake was?!
The Oreo cake was absolutely divine and I would eat it every day if I could. And I think if I go to IKEA I’ll have to bring a suitcase and then maybe ship some things through them depending
I’m not sure if my apartment is normal or not just because I haven’t been to anyone else is home and Taiwan… But I definitely love my washing machine 👌🏻👌🏻
I have been to Taiwan, it was amazing. Taiwanese are so good people, very advance and clean. I been in Europe, but It was very tough for foreigners to be there. Very resist and discriminating foreigners
Interesting how you can’t find decor or a duvet cover . I’m so happy for your new laundry room. Thanks for sharing all these new experiences. We are still in lockdown where I live so I can live vicariously through you 😊God bless you and T ❤️❤️❤️
I think you can find a gorgeous I don’t know where to look… I did find one place in the shopping mall that somebody suggested to me in the UA-cam comments though which was great 👌🏻 Stay safe over there ♥️
Your place looks amazing and I’m enjoying seeing how you’re decorating it. I hope the capacity of your washer and dryer helps to make your life a little easier, too!
I found myself crying when watching your video. 😢😢😢 I miss Taipei, restaurants and shops so much 🥺🥺😩😩 already can't recall how it feels to shop is stores and dine in restaurants
The green bottle one you asked is lacto-vegetarian version, and yeah it's MSG+salt. There should be a green spoon in the bottle, use it as a measurement. Usually we put one spoon when cooking a 3-4 person dish, so maybe try1/4 or1/2 spoon first.
Ahhhh!!! This looks like so much fun! I’m glad you seem to be holding up well - I would have probably been a wreck if I moved away :( hopefully this situation eases up soon so friends can come visit youuu!!!
I left a box of fall/winter clothes with a friend in Korea expecting it to be able to get it shipped in like April or May...she couldn't ship it until last week, and it's getting a bit chilly already in my part of Shizuoka XD Hopefully you can get those clothes back! Glad you guys are settling in and you're slowly getting your apartment the way you want it~ (Also that steak looked delicious and when I heard the price my brain went "SO CHEAP.")
Whoa I used to live around the train that you went to, there is a little cake shop that sells super delicious Taiwanese castella cake around the parking area I think or it next to a McDonald's near by lol can't remember ;o; btw I love your video~
I totally know that feeling you're getting from watching yashahime, I get it from watching the rebooted fruits basket! My preteen heart is so full LOL.
You might have to go to IKEA for your bedsheets and duvet covers as they definitely have King-size ones. Don't forget to stop in their cafeteria for food! The taiwan ikea breakfasts were interesting.
@@LayersOfJenn Their king size bedsheets are about 180x200cm while the king size duvet covers are 200x200cm. If you see anything bigger than that it's probably a bed spread.
@@LayersOfJenn You can order online. They actually provide the dimension on the Taiwan website like this one is 180cm X 200cm. www.ikea.com.tw/zh/products/bedlinen/sheets-and-pillow-cases/nattjasmin-art-10442738
OH I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! Shopping vicariously is so fun. That train looks awesome to ride on. I have never been on a bullet train before. And Jen...several things- Montreal steak seasoning is everything. OMG... and do they have a Costco near you? As for sheets/duvet, can you order from someplace? Not sure if shipping cost would be prohibitive. Lastly...thank you for buying the Oreo ice cream cake... ;)
I might buy sheets online bc I checked Costco and their selection is basically floral sheets only which I don’t like lol. And the high speed rail was super cool!!
The black crop top looks super cute and I love the leather head band 😍 Wow that steak dinner looked really good too. Was that baby corn? I wish we had it in Korea. I miss baby corn 😭
You’re having fun building your nest🥰 Bummer on losing your winter clothes😳 I once lost a whole large garbage bag of all my and my daughters best and favourite clothes, I was heartbroken. We’d been away on vacation for two weeks and I always put all the dirty clothes in a blue garbage bag to just take to the laundry room when we get home. My ex threw the bag out to the garbage, I had to go right back to work so didn’t notice for a couple of days and it was too late. Hopefully the box will be at your in-laws , not lost, and you get to buy new clothes without feeling guilty.😂🤣😂🙋🏼
I’m sure it was sent to them but even so, I’m not going to ask for it back. We have the clothing sent to all my sister-in-laws & donated to others. I’ll just use it an an excuse to downsize and minimize my wardrobe !
@@LayersOfJenn at shop... just look and don't talk to salewoman... last time in HK.. i stop by DKNY... and the sale piss off from not buying anything after talk with her less than 1 min... they all the same... and news about sale people try to create a problem... it not the same as japan so take care...
All the food from this episode looks so good! I would highly recommend not storing your oil in the container you had bought in this episode because the air makes the oil oxidise really fast and can actually make it go rancid faster, so keeping it there in small amounts and taking some out of another large storage container every so often for convenience should be fine, but storing most of your oil in there could be a bad idea.
Omg, it's like shopping heaven over there! I mean, who knew ZARA Home and H&M Home were even a thing? Hopefully you can find new king-size bedding, though 😅 The High Speed Rail seems really nice. Is it as expensive as the Shinkansen?
@@LayersOfJenn You are right! Our HSR IS Shinkansen! It were made in Japan and it is the first Shinkansen outside Japan which completed in 2007. BTW you can also try traditional railway (TRA) or bus if you are going to Taipei since where you live is not that far from the biggest city in Taiwan and you can get on the train or the bus from the downtown so taking uber to HSR station won't be needed.
Haha well you see, I lived in japan for more than 7 years and referred to it like that for that king in daily conversation living there. So it slips into my vocabulary often. As well as my husband is Japanese so, Japanese is used regularly at home. As someone who speak English and probably another language, I’m sure you can understand how more than one language slips into your daily conversation. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk
It's really interesting to watch how intercultural you are and how you adapt to change. I like your content a lot. Keep it up girl. Saludos desde México :)
you can always get your japan fix by going to ishigaki which is close enough (i think its only 196 miles away) to do on a weekend. china air used to have a 55 minute direct flight before covid. Hopefully it will be restarted soon. My wife has just discovered taiwan made brown sugar boba ice cream bars. They're pretty expensive here in hawaii but all her japanese friends were raving about them on their facebook pages so she just had to try them. Wish she hadn't, they're $4 each
I had some of those ice cream bars, very sweet and delicious!! I think Okinawa is closer to Taiwan then japan. I hope to def get to there once we can enter japan and everything is safe
I'd be so upset if I lost my winter clothes, basically spend all year waiting for the time I get to wear jumpers and warm coats again! Love that new jacket you bought though! Also, must be kind of strange for you guys to have a big bed haha, does it feel like a novelty after your loft, or are you used to it now? That oreo desert looked so nice 🤤
A big bed is really strange haha. T still ends up smooshing close to me tho 😂👌🏻 I think the only reason I’m not more upset is because in Taiwan like the coldest it gets is maybe 12 to 15°
you might want to check another 大遠百 in HsinChu, it's the one where 鼎泰豐 (famous place for dumplings) is located. They sell different things than Big City. (Big City has another nice restaurant selling dumplings, it's on B1 floor called 點水樓) not sure if you can find Zara there, but you can at least find Massimo Dutti. if you like Yakiniku, there is a nice Yakiniku restaurant near Big City. it's called 一燒。 you might want to take a look.
Thank you for the recommendations!! I went to mango instead of Zara since it’s very similar but I’ll have to check out the other place. Also keep the food recommendations coming!! I literally have a note in my iPhone notepad of restaurants to try here 😂😅
Once you have settled in, check out the mountains and the beaches, particularly around central Taiwan and the east coast! When in doubt, do not hesitate to ask the locals for assistance. the Taiwanese people are one of the most hospitable in the world!
ahh it just melts my heart to see you (and hear T 😂) exploring the city and practicing your chinese! btw why did you guys send boxes to your in-laws too?
They took some things we didn’t bring to Taiwan for themselves if other family members. (Tv fridge etc) & then took care of the garbage for us since we didn’t have time to book through the city
@@LayersOfJenn, well this "Tom Zhao" channel is devoid of any content which is typical of a Fifty Cent Army proxy account. Chinese government uses these proxy accounts to sow discord among UA-cam users so they will incarnate in another handle. Just be aware that your content has now been registered in China's radar.
I’m just now tuning in to the Taiwan vlogs (still need to catchup!) so forgive me if you’ve already addressed it, but I must be nice to have so much more room?!
Ahh I'm having a super bad week but been waiting for this video since I saw bits on insta 😊 Is it really expensive having to furnish such a large place compared to Japan, are things expensive? I know you did the conversion for the meat but I don't eat meat so I have no idea if that's expensive 😅
I was born in taiwan, but haven't been back there since my family immigrated; so I kinda forgot what the weather there was like. but...all I thought about with the jacket was.....errr, isn't it kinda hot there for a jacket like that? my parents had gone back to visit and they both came back talking about how ridiculously hot and humid it is there (obviously, we all acclimated to northeastern US weather in the intervening years, lol)
For some it might be hot! I was here in December last year and wore similar jackets like this in the evening. It should be fine during December to February 👍🏻
@@LayersOfJenn sounds like you can deal with the heat way better than I can. sorta envious, cuz there's lots of places I want to visit, but are just too hot for me
@@LayersOfJenn I always heard from the j-vloggers about how hot it is in japan in the summer (especially the ones in tokyo). how's it compare to taipei? ....or orlando, or guam? I literally couldn't walk 200 yds in guam without sweating through my shirt. bar none hands down the most uncomfortable heat I've ever experienced in my adult life
Taipei Mass Rapid Transit, top speed operation is 56 MPH, branded as Taipei Metro, is a metro system serving Taipei and New Taipei, Taiwan, operated by government owned Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation, which also operates Maokong Gondola. Taipei Metro was the first metro system in Taiwan. Wikipedia Founded: March 28, 1996 Chief executive: BC Yen Number of stations: 131 Owner: Taipei City Government Transit type: Rapid transit Ps, I grabbed the content from Google to save y’all some time ;-)
I did! They only have a flat sheet that’s king & a duvet (that I currently am using now in this video). I want a nice bedroom set though .. not the mismatching mess j currently have 😅😂
There are a lot of decor and home store. Well I am not sure where you are but all major cities in Taiwan should have lots of home decor stores. Not all of them are chic and modern though.
Ahhh okay!! I’ve never experienced Vancouver winter but, I’m from Nova Scotia where we get a lot of snow and rain. I think the climate might be similar to Vancouver since we are both on the ocean !!
@@LayersOfJenn The online shopping is more popular in Taiwan. You might try some websites if you can read Mandarin. For example, Momo www.momoshop.com.tw/
Did you personally have any issues going to onsen or sento while living in Japan with you tattoo? I've heard that a lot of places are starting to allow foreigners with tattoos entry.
Well, they "say" a lot will let people enter but I have yet to hear anything more. I have only been allowed into one public onsen with tattoos in Hakone. The rest (Shimane, Nagano, Hakone again, etc) I wasn't allowed to enter so hubby & I rented private rooms always. The same applies for public pools. If you hotel has a pool, there is a strong chance you won't be allowed to enter. When in doubt, always ask!

Hey Jen, loving your Taiwan vlogs, very chilled and enjoyable, glad you took some time for that retail therapy🌸💗🤗
Yessss!! It’s been a while since I had that kind of therapy lol
11:00 you might find some king-size duvet covers and sheets in hola or ikea. If you want to have more choices, you should go to bedding store like '床枕e專家', '山鶯寢飾', '柔瑟家具名床寢具' and so on.

Well you need to be a millionaire to live in that type of apartment in Taipei.... but in other cities maybe they're more affordable

Also, must be kind of strange for you guys to have a big bed haha, does it feel like a novelty after your loft, or are you used to it now? That oreo desert looked so nice 🤤
A big bed is really strange haha. T still ends up smooshing close to me tho 😂👌🏻
I think the only reason I’m not more upset is because in Taiwan like the coldest it gets is maybe 12 to 15°
Welcome to HsinCHu, My lovely hometown.
Omg I wish I saw T face when you walked in with so many shopping bags
😅😂
Hope you are doing well in Taiwan!
Thank you!!!
you might want to check another 大遠百 in HsinChu, it's the one where 鼎泰豐 (famous place for dumplings) is located. They sell different things than Big City. (Big City has another nice restaurant selling dumplings, it's on B1 floor called 點水樓)
not sure if you can find Zara there, but you can at least find Massimo Dutti.
if you like Yakiniku, there is a nice Yakiniku restaurant near Big City. it's called 一燒。 you might want to take a look.
Thank you for the recommendations!! I went to mango instead of Zara since it’s very similar but I’ll have to check out the other place.
Also keep the food recommendations coming!! I literally have a note in my iPhone notepad of restaurants to try here 😂😅
12:30 a mood hahhaha that would be me when I move
😂
*Don’t forget to like this video* 👍🏻
Who else is watching Yashahime?!? 🙋🏼♀️
Sameeeee!!!!
Love it! It's so nostalgic.
Meeeee
@@marj7306 I teared up at the start!
@@nihonchique yassss
Once you have settled in, check out the mountains and the beaches, particularly around central Taiwan and the east coast! When in doubt, do not hesitate to ask the locals for assistance. the Taiwanese people are one of the most hospitable in the world!
I have a list of places to check out !!
Ohh That washing machine is even bigger than mine. I wish I had one with a dryer too
I’m not used to using a dryer lol. I’ve never had one in japan !
The Taiwan HSR is actually based on the Japanese Shinkansen :)
Ahhh that’s why I felt it was similar then~ very cool!!
your hand gestures are kinda my favorite.
I talk with me hands a lot 😂😅 being an English teacher didn’t help bc I constantly had to gesture things to the kids.
try looking for king bed sheets at costco
Ok 👌🏻
ahh it just melts my heart to see you (and hear T 😂) exploring the city and practicing your chinese! btw why did you guys send boxes to your in-laws too?
They took some things we didn’t bring to Taiwan for themselves if other family members. (Tv fridge etc) & then took care of the garbage for us since we didn’t have time to book through the city
love how you say yoisho when you get out of the car. Do you do that even when you are with English-speaking people now?
ummmm sometimes. It depends on if they speak Japanese or not. I'm just to used to these like nuances bc of my husband haha
@ , Jenn lives in Taiwan not China.
I blocked him!! Hopefully he cannot comment anymore :)
@@LayersOfJenn, well this "Tom Zhao" channel is devoid of any content which is typical of a Fifty Cent Army proxy account. Chinese government uses these proxy accounts to sow discord among UA-cam users so they will incarnate in another handle. Just be aware that your content has now been registered in China's radar.
👌🏻 I’ll take note!!
In taiwan, you can also use Line taxi :) it’s like uber
Ohhh I’ve never heard of that one before!!
I just discovered H&M had a home section! 🤯
I think in the back of my mind I kind of knew they had it but… Was very happy to see that it’s in my city
4:21 The driver is waving at you loll
I noticed that when editing 😂👌🏻 in real the moment I had no idea
😆😆
Good vlog! Is Uber the only transport? Trains? Keep exploring and uploading.
There are trains and buses!! I took a bus yesterday for the first time 👌🏻
I’m just now tuning in to the Taiwan vlogs (still need to catchup!) so forgive me if you’ve already addressed it, but I must be nice to have so much more room?!
It is very nice 👌🏻☺️
歡迎來台灣,加油!
You can take the Taiwan Railway next time. 😉 台鐵～
yay!!!
Ahh I'm having a super bad week but been waiting for this video since I saw bits on insta 😊 Is it really expensive having to furnish such a large place compared to Japan, are things expensive? I know you did the conversion for the meat but I don't eat meat so I have no idea if that's expensive 😅
I definitely find some things are expensive but that’s why I’m sticking to IKEA, Nitori, and muji (more affordable places)
@@LayersOfJenn ah ok, that's so funny, Muji is incredibly expensive in the UK 😅 But amazing there's Daiso there (wish we had Daiso!)
歡迎來到台灣！已訂閱妳的影片♥
I was born in taiwan, but haven't been back there since my family immigrated; so I kinda forgot what the weather there was like. but...all I thought about with the jacket was.....errr, isn't it kinda hot there for a jacket like that? my parents had gone back to visit and they both came back talking about how ridiculously hot and humid it is there (obviously, we all acclimated to northeastern US weather in the intervening years, lol)
For some it might be hot! I was here in December last year and wore similar jackets like this in the evening. It should be fine during December to February 👍🏻
@@LayersOfJenn sounds like you can deal with the heat way better than I can. sorta envious, cuz there's lots of places I want to visit, but are just too hot for me
@@issackao I think it is because i spent 7 & 1/2 years melting in Japan with their hot weather from June to October/November
@@LayersOfJenn I always heard from the j-vloggers about how hot it is in japan in the summer (especially the ones in tokyo). how's it compare to taipei? ....or orlando, or guam? I literally couldn't walk 200 yds in guam without sweating through my shirt. bar none hands down the most uncomfortable heat I've ever experienced in my adult life
My eyelids and kneecaps swear lol

4:22 The train driver waves at you!
They did ~ I didn’t notice until I was editing though. So cute!
Does T work late hours still like he did in Japan? Do you get to see more of him now?
It depends :) I can’t really say much. I’m happy though with everything ~
Thanks for sharing......
Thanks for watching .........
Ikea sell some cute bedding designs 🙂
👌🏻👌🏻
is the steak really that cheap there?! steak is so expensive here in korea :(
I think it’s cheaper than Japan but I’m not sure about every other country! I listed the prices on screen & said them tho, not sure if that helps?
@@LayersOfJenn Try Costco. I believe your city has one~
the product "康寶鮮味炒手" it's like ほんだし
King duvet at Costco? Amazon?
I got a king duvet from Costco when u first came but, The cover selection was super limited and all like flower patterns 🙃🙃
How long was the train ride ?
About an hour-ish!
Try Costco for sheets.
I did! They only have a flat sheet that’s king & a duvet (that I currently am using now in this video). I want a nice bedroom set though .. not the mismatching mess j currently have 😅😂
You’re shopping tooooo much hahah
No such thing ~
(I got those jokes lol)
Do you speak French since you are from Canada? Also I love that your okay with being makeupless on camera😊
Sadly I cannot speak French 😅
& no makeup is the real me haha.
No grocery haul??? 🥺🥺🥺🥺
Sadly no 🙃🙃🙃
@@LayersOfJenn next time?....🤔🤔🤔😛
Damn Oreo doing the most there
It really is… And I love it 👌🏻😂🐷
There are a lot of decor and home store. Well I am not sure where you are but all major cities in Taiwan should have lots of home decor stores. Not all of them are chic and modern though.
I had some people recommend to me some stores in my city & i went today!! *finally* got some sheets and other things!! yayy
It will be a bit cold in the winter because of the humidity, kinda reminds me of the weather of Vancouver in Fall
Ahhh okay!! I’ve never experienced Vancouver winter but, I’m from Nova Scotia where we get a lot of snow and rain. I think the climate might be similar to Vancouver since we are both on the ocean !!
For King-sized sheets/duvet covers, check out IKEA!
I got a duvet from IKEA but they only have maybe two sheets to choose from and I didn’t want floral 🙃🙃🙃 I’m going to keep looking 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@LayersOfJenn The online shopping is more popular in Taiwan. You might try some websites if you can read Mandarin. For example, Momo www.momoshop.com.tw/
12:03 What is going on with the tape on the elevator button panel? 🤔
It’s protection against covid. Easy to wipe down plastic & change. Cleaning the inside of buttons is hard. Places in Japan had this too 👌🏻
Welcome Taiwan~ We are the best country in asia.
Did you personally have any issues going to onsen or sento while living in Japan with you tattoo? I've heard that a lot of places are starting to allow foreigners with tattoos entry.
Well, they "say" a lot will let people enter but I have yet to hear anything more. I have only been allowed into one public onsen with tattoos in Hakone. The rest (Shimane, Nagano, Hakone again, etc) I wasn't allowed to enter so hubby & I rented private rooms always. The same applies for public pools. If you hotel has a pool, there is a strong chance you won't be allowed to enter. When in doubt, always ask!
@@LayersOfJenn Thank you so much for your reply. This helps a lot. I'm absolutely loving these vlogs. Thanks for sharing these experiences!
Happy to help!! I can only share my experiences though. If anyone else has some, sharing is caring !
