0:56 I'm not sure if it's that exact building, but it's at least one very similar to it. I heard a story about those "green" buildings being really infested with insects. Things like that are nice on paper and are maybe cool to look at, but from what I understand they're impractical to live in.
God I miss Taiwan. I've been trying to get a job in Japan but every time I watch your videos it makes me want to move back to Taiwan. 😭😭😭😭 I don't know what I want to do anymore. Love your videos btw.
Hey Jen I tested positive for the stupid virus and your videos make me feel something other than shit. Ty so much. I remember when you didn’t even have 10k and look at you now. Keep up the good work and stay safe
IKEA is HUGE! I’m so impressed by the train and bus system ! I also want that flooring for the patio 😂😂 The blue ramen had my mouth open just like 👁👄👁 It’s so sweet seeing you walking around with new friends and buddies!
Water sprinkler bucket The building you mentioned as interesting with plants all over their balcony was one of the most expensive apartment building in Jubei.
Woah really !? I can see it being f an expensive building though because it’s near the HSR station. Also, it looks fancy haha. I walked by is the other day and was checking it out like 👁 👄 👁
OMG! I knew there was something strange about interior walls in Taiwan! (I have family in Taipei and Taichung. I visit them often.) When I heard you mentioning not being sure about hanging a heavy mirror, everything just fell into place for me. As I searched through my memory bank, I realized all the interior walls I came across in Taiwan were weird, because they were bare!
Don’t worry about it, I worked with a woman who took a huge office chair (work was selling them off) home on crowded Sydney trains after work, I bet she didn’t even buy a ticket for it, she didn’t think anything about it!
Wow, waiting in line for such a long time just to have a bowl of ramen, it must be worth it. Especially eating delicious food with a good friend would make the good taste to a better level. What a good way to enjoy a beautiful day!
I would love to try chrysanthemum food! Where I moved to (Ohio) they have dandelion festivals in the spring. I thought it was cool because we always view dandelions as weeds but in Ohio they make wine and all kinds of foods from dandelion and sell them at the festivals. I had some dandelion gravy on noodles last year that was amazing. I also love dandelion wine. It would be neat to experience that with chrysanthemum stuff :).
That outfit at the flower fields! 😱so cute!!! I loved that little crate too. That would be great for some stuff in my pantry. Hope you and T are having a great holiday season! 🎄
Do people live there!? I walked past it recently and, it seems like nobody was there 😅 but I makes sense it’s expensive.. it looks expensive and close to the HSR station!
@@LayersOfJenn The building called 若山。There are two buildings having this appearance in Zhubei. For 若山1(1st), a few people live there, because it’s so expensive that everyone can’t afford it. The other one 若山2 (2nd) is still selling.
Wow the flower field was so beautiful, loved it! Waiting in line in hour to get ramen in Paris (before covid situation), yup done it, and will do it as soon as the restaurants open again.
Jenn, it is great to see your videos. I have been going back through your Japanese videos too. They are really fun. Hsinchu is a city that doesn't get a lot of attention, but it is a great place. Hakka is a different language. My wife is from Miaoli county and is Hakka. I know when my family switches to Hakka because they start talking through their nose. Miaoli has a lot of things to see and do. You should go to SanYi and explore there. There is a beef noodle shop there that is really famous and delicious.
omg i've just binged watched all your taiwan videos for the past two days(from moving taiwan ep1 to this one) AND I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!!!! Can't wait for more videos of you traveling around taiwan or just a daily NITORI/MUJI/ZARA/HOME DECOR SHOP VLOG!!!!!!!! WELCOME TO TAIWAN!!!! COME EXPLORE MY HOMETOWN TAICHUNG!
Awe thank you for watching all of them!! It was such a process but, I’m here and loving every moment ❤️👌🏻 and Taichung is on my list to travel to soon since it’s near !
@@LayersOfJenn What can I say? You have the charisma that makes people wanting to see more of Taiwan no matter where you may take us. Could you do a Taipei "Longshan Temple" tour by Ximending if that's not out of your way next time? I heard that of all the Buddist temples in Taiwan, it ranks the highest when it comes to ”wishes being granted" for worshippers worldwide.
Miaoli Daisy festival is quite interesting. I've once went there. I think it's very relaxing. If you like Ikea, there is also a tiny branch in ChuPei, really small one. Although HsinChu is famous for being boring, there is some lantern exhibitions after sunset in downtown in HsinChu moat park since this week which worth visiting. There also will be new year's Eve celebration in Taipei and ChuPei. And then Chinese new year on Feb/12 next year. Hope you enjoy living in Taiwan and love your videos.
Therapist option of seeing the IKEA bag as a challenge. People can see events as challenges or stressors and seeing it is a challenge shows greater psychological flexibility and tends to be a more helpful mindset :)
I laughed SO hard watching you trying to think of the term [watering can] 😂😂😂 in my Chinese mind I was thinking 🤔 man, what is that watering plant equipment called in Chinese (and in English as well). 👍 nice job Jen!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!
Hahaha my brain often shuts down or the word comes to my head but in Japanese. Probably since we have English and Japanese at home & Chinese in our everyday life.
Haha I do 😅 I want to try taking a different route to Taipei though. But to be fair, the price from Hsinchu to Taipei on the HSR is what I spent every trip to go into Tokyo from Yokohama.
I have the patio floor you showed hehe, bought them like 5-6 years ago in Taichung, totally worth it, i even bought the table and chairs to pair with it
Ahhh my hometown Taoyuan. Back in the days my friends made a joke about Taoyuan 'the armpit of Taiwan' geographically also figuratively due to there was nothing to do but flying out of Taiwan. Lots of areas are well developed and more hike trails in the mountains!
That salty mochi is one of my favorite. You should try the mugwart one. Outside is a dark green color. How long does it take you to get to Taipei and the Airport? Hsinchu rice noodles are famous. My great aunts are Hakka. It sounds almost like Cantonese to me. They have some of the best food, in my opinion.
I'm Hakka. Hakka language is way different from Mandarin. There are 4 different Hakka accents speaking in Taiwan, like the Hakka people in Miaoli speak 四縣 , and the Hakka people in Hsinchu speak 海陸. Can they communicate each other? yes or no.
Hmmm interesting!! I am learning from everyone here. And wow I didn’t realize that Hakka has different accents as well. I really wanted to go to the mountains here in Hsinchu during persimmon season but, I would figure out how to get there via public transport haha
I miss IKEA! I have several of those fake plants for inside and even moved them across the world with me because they’re such a simple way to make a place seem instantly more homey 😂
Tomorrow night there will be a Christmas concert at East Gate（ Dongmen)City in the center of Hsinchu City. The main performer is the primary school orchestra. There are performances by the Chinese Orchestra, String Orchestra, and Symphony Orchestra. You are welcome to watch it if you have time! Merry Christmas.
@@LayersOfJenn It’s a public performance. The performance time is about 19:30-21:00. They are all elementary school students, and my daughter is one of them.
I wouldn't know what flavor to expect from blue ramen since I see that and think of artificially flavored "blue raspberry" foods in the U.S. 😅 I also carry huge bags with too much stuff from the store because, how else am I supposed to get stuff home? 😂 I should get that little cart think from Ikea.
The blue ramen in this store is made with the juice of butterfly pea flowers in the soup, which is different from the blue spirulina used in Japanese stores. Butterfly pea flowers are rich in anthocyanins which are natural pigment ingredients . Although the soaked water itself has no taste, the anthocyanins will change color with the pH value. At first, they will appear blue in alkaline. If you add a little acidic lemon juice, it will become PH neutral and appear purple. If more lemon is added, it will become red under high acidic pH. So squeezing the lemon out of the noodles will change the color of the soup and bring another surprise to the guests. It also makes this bowl of ramen show a different sour taste.
Same, I've lived in England since 2006 and I find myself forgetting Norwegian words - and god help me if I have to write anything formal! I write several drafts and check with my family it makes sense before I sent it off XD
@@LayersOfJenn Go visit Hualien when the "Harvest Festival" is in high time something like the end of July during the Summertime. You will have a blast hands-down and mark my words - "You can take that to the bank".
I have the same dangly plant from IKEA 😂 I feel like they do good fake plants especially for the price. Wow that blue ramen looked good! Did the flavor change after leaving the lemon in? Or did it stay salty?
Hakka is a different language, kind of like how French and Spanish both descend from Latin but are now different, same relationship between Mandarin, Hakka, Minnan/Taiwanese, Cantonese etc. Miaoli and Hsinchu area is the largest concentration of Hakka people, though like all languages other than Mandarin in Taiwan it has been dying out in the younger generation. Historical reasons as to why are kind of sad
Ohhhh okay!! I didn’t realize it’s different. Thank you for the information. And I know there is a lot of Hakka people here in Hsinchu and Miaoli. I want to go to the mountains around here and film something once I gather enough information ~
Hakka is not a different language because it has the exact same grammatical and syntax structure as Mandarin. The only difference is how the words are pronounced. The fact that they sound totally different doesn't mean they are different languages. Hakka is a different dialect but not a different language.
@@Luther84695 a language is a dialect with an army and a navy. Portuguese and Spanish are more alike and diverged more recently than many dialects of Chinese, many of which are no longer mutually intelligible. Only one thing they still share is a common writing system, due to the semantic property of Chinese characters.
It's so nice see life going on and people going out, bars open and stuff. Here in Europe we're in various stages of lockdowns depending on the country and I haven't been to a bar like in more than half a year or smt like that :( I'm loving exploring Taiwan with you, looks like a great country! Btw, when will you be doing an apartment tour? *wink wink* Kisses and love
With the vaccine being distributed tho, I hope things will change sooner rather than later!! And also I won’t be doing an official apartment tour, just sharing my home through my everyday life shots~
Hakka language isn't a dialect. Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka are three disparate languages that you can't find anything in common in these three languages. That is, you can trace them back to different origins.
Is it just you or all Canadian do this? You're so brave to carry those things home by thsr…I'm the guy who will feel embarrassed, especially with ikea's bag and cart, lol. I'm smile when you talk about the drama you bet yourself, very graphic.

把台灣拍的真美!
Merry Christmas Jenn.
I wouldn't know what flavor to expect from blue ramen since I see that and think of artificially flavored "blue raspberry" foods in the U.S. 😅
I also carry huge bags with too much stuff from the store because, how else am I supposed to get stuff home? 😂 I should get that little cart think from Ikea.
The blue ramen in this store is made with the juice of butterfly pea flowers in the soup, which is different from the blue spirulina used in Japanese stores. Butterfly pea flowers are rich in anthocyanins which are natural pigment ingredients . Although the soaked water itself has no taste, the anthocyanins will change color with the pH value. At first, they will appear blue in alkaline. If you add a little acidic lemon juice, it will become PH neutral and appear purple. If more lemon is added, it will become red under high acidic pH. So squeezing the lemon out of the noodles will change the color of the soup and bring another surprise to the guests. It also makes this bowl of ramen show a different sour taste.
I wonder if other ikeas have it!? I’ve only seen here and it’s so useful!
It’s such a cool and beautiful concept!! I love it 💯 💙
Same, I've lived in England since 2006 and I find myself forgetting Norwegian words - and god help me if I have to write anything formal! I write several drafts and check with my family it makes sense before I sent it off XD
maybe next time you can go to
Hualien~
im looking at places there!! it is good to go in winter or should i wait until spring!?
@@LayersOfJenn Go after spring，You will like the scenery of eastern Taiwan and you can also experience the aboriginal culture.
Ohhh okay!! I’ll remember that ~
@@LayersOfJenn Go visit Hualien when the "Harvest Festival" is in high time something like the end of July during the Summertime. You will have a blast hands-down and mark my words - "You can take that to the bank".
I have the same dangly plant from IKEA 😂 I feel like they do good fake plants especially for the price. Wow that blue ramen looked good! Did the flavor change after leaving the lemon in? Or did it stay salty?
It changed just slightly, not too much!! And ikea does to fake places well, I don’t mind biting from there ~
Hakka is a different language, kind of like how French and Spanish both descend from Latin but are now different, same relationship between Mandarin, Hakka, Minnan/Taiwanese, Cantonese etc. Miaoli and Hsinchu area is the largest concentration of Hakka people, though like all languages other than Mandarin in Taiwan it has been dying out in the younger generation. Historical reasons as to why are kind of sad
Ohhhh okay!! I didn’t realize it’s different. Thank you for the information. And I know there is a lot of Hakka people here in Hsinchu and Miaoli. I want to go to the mountains around here and film something once I gather enough information ~
Jenn is right, Hakka is a dialect, origins from Guangdong province in China. Its not an official language, only commonly used in certain areas.
Hakka is not a different language because it has the exact same grammatical and syntax structure as Mandarin. The only difference is how the words are pronounced. The fact that they sound totally different doesn't mean they are different languages. Hakka is a different dialect but not a different language.
@@Luther84695 a language is a dialect with an army and a navy. Portuguese and Spanish are more alike and diverged more recently than many dialects of Chinese, many of which are no longer mutually intelligible. Only one thing they still share is a common writing system, due to the semantic property of Chinese characters.
@@Luther84695 If they’re not mutual intelligible then they’re different languages
Merry Christmas Jenn
你好我是苗栗國人歡迎來苗栗玩~
謝謝☺️
拉麵的湯是藍色的原因，應該是用了「蝶豆花」(Clitoria ternatea)
Welcome to Taiwan
Happy to be here :)
老實說，影片女主，很有氣質
It's so nice see life going on and people going out, bars open and stuff. Here in Europe we're in various stages of lockdowns depending on the country and I haven't been to a bar like in more than half a year or smt like that :(
I'm loving exploring Taiwan with you, looks like a great country! Btw, when will you be doing an apartment tour? *wink wink*
Kisses and love
With the vaccine being distributed tho, I hope things will change sooner rather than later!!
And also I won’t be doing an official apartment tour, just sharing my home through my everyday life shots~
Hakka language isn't a dialect. Mandarin, Taiwanese and Hakka are three disparate languages that you can't find anything in common in these three languages. That is, you can trace them back to different origins.
Wowww okay. Interesting !! I am learning ~ thank you!!!!!!!
Love u from kaohsiung!❤️
I will come to Kaohsiung soon 💯👌🏻
I saw Hsinchu, and then I click in. Love your video.
Yes!! Where I am based out of :)

Merry Christmas !
Is it just you or all Canadian do this? You're so brave to carry those things home by thsr…I'm the guy who will feel embarrassed, especially with ikea's bag and cart, lol. I'm smile when you talk about the drama you bet yourself, very graphic.
Haha I wonder 🤔 I’ve always been this way since I was young 😅
