Taiwan vs. Mainland China 

When the nationalists fled to Taiwan, many Chinese citizens from all over the country went with them and they brought their recipes with them.

I'm a South African living in Taiwan, I've been here for 20 years. I just love the place and people.

In Taiwan you can actually see the sky where it is blue instead of grey or not being seen at all in the cities.

You couldn't pay me to live in China. Taiwan isn't perfect, but it's a great place. Not to mention a free democracy.

Have lived in Taiwan for over 15 years. I’ve never had a problem with the food. The food here is amazing.

Portuguese living in Taiwan here for 6 years mate, thank you for the compliments, i really LOVE all this, people, country, food, transportations, everything!!!

Love Taiwan! Let's hope China is not destroying this lovely place. Go Taiwan go go go

Been living in Taiwan for over 5 years and those are top things I love: 1. people are super kind and keen to help (probably the best thing about Taiwan for me) 2. super convenient country (pretty much like Japan) 3. it is very safe place to live - once i saw it ranked 2nd safest country in the world behind Japan 4. air and environment is much cleaner and healthier than in China 5. food 6. no censorship

Note also that Taiwanese people don't poop on the streets, nor cut in line. They have the good sense to look down on mainlanders for that kind of stuff.

Without hesitation I would choose Taiwan over China...having been to both places, I was more skeptical while in China for scams and fraud and worrying about food quality and being treated disrespectfully; but, in Taiwan, I was worry-free, no one bothered me and I did not have to worry about food quality and did not get food poisoned. I refused to go anywhere without a company in China but felt much more at ease in Taiwan...just my 2 cents...awesome comparison.

I travel every year and I travelled around Taiwan three times in the last 5 years. one thing you have not mentioned is the local Taiwanese people. in my experience they are friendly and kind.

I am addicted to democracy and freedom, I will always prefer Taiwan

Great video but didn't mention pollution. China is so polluted that my expat friends left the country because it was negatively impacting their health.

I lived in Taiwan , And loved the place and the people . I just dont think you can beat Taiwan .

They dont scam ppl as they do in China. Helping injured ppl and calling ambullance is normal unlike China.

As an American, I’ve lived in Taiwan several times, and love it for all the reasons you mentioned. Haven’t had too much experience with the mainland, but it definitely is an adventure for all the reasons you mentioned. Still, I prefer Taiwan as a place to live, and China as a place to visit. But that’s me. Stay Awesome!

Objective. I am Chinese and I want to go to visit Taiwan someday. I would like to see traditional Chinese culture and Japanese influence combined together.

Taiwan is everything China should thrive to be.

Love Taiwan to death. Want to go back.

I think your comparison between the two countries is quite accurate. For the political part, Taiwan had been colonized by Ching Empire before 1895 and actually Ching Empire didn't have full control of all Taiwan island at that time. The sovereignty over Taiwan is never in the hand of official China government since 1895, that's already more than 120 years by now. China government from 1912 to 1949 was named Republic of China(ROC), Taiwan was part of Japan territory during those days. Republic of China recognized the fact and they even had the embassy in Taiwan. Taiwan is no longer a part of Japan since 1952 after San Francisco Peace Treaty was taken effect. China government from 1949 till now is People Republic of China(PRC) and Taiwan is not part of PRC from the first day of PRC till now. Some people maybe be confused that the government of Taiwan is also called Republic of China. It's because Chiang Kai-shek and the nationalist built an exiled government of Republic of China in Taiwan in 1949, this government was an exiled government not an official China government, I think PRC know that very well. This government evolved from dictatorship to democratic over time till now. Taiwan government nowadays won't claim mainland as a part of ROC and most of people in Taiwan identify themselves as Taiwanese rather than Chines. Taiwan has its own government, military, diplomacy and is an independent, democratic and free country for sure. PRC keep claims they own Taiwan is because of they want to invade Taiwan and trying to keep foreign power from being involved. In fact, they never rule Taiwan for any second. Chinese people are brainwashed by PRC since childhood, most of them can't really understand the fact of the history, so don't be fooled by the Chinese propaganda.

Taiwan is amazing, you forgot to mention the hot springs, really loved the place.

I've lived and worked in both places for many years. The "differences" (?) between mainland China and Taiwan are essentially the same as differences between mainland China and Japan, or even China and the US. Outside the urban centres of Shanghai or Shenzhen (and even then?) the superiority of Taiwan in all areas is so stark as to make any comparison futile.

Also, you never mentioned just WHY Taiwan resembles Japan so much. Well, it just so happens that Taiwan used to be fully a territory of the Japanese Empire. Taiwan's story goes a lot beyond just the KMT fleeing there.

Taiwan is like Chinese version of Japan. Kind people, clean country, and safe. Been there once, MUCH BETTER country to live / visit than China. Oh, amazing food too!

After the nationalists, KMT, fled to Taiwan, Taiwan was also ruled by an authoritarian regime, under extreme dictatorship and state control. However, with the long struggle and sacrifice of people, the current democracy starts to take shape. Although majority of us are ethnic Chinese, please don't call us Chinese. We are Taiwanese!!!

Taiwan is a highly developed forward thinking country with an educated workforce. China is.....big

9:16, Taiwan used to be called Formosa, which in Portuguese means "beautiful island"

I ❤️ Taiwan!!! And Taiwanese people!

Very Unbiased, I can confirm. I'm was born in Taiwan, grew up in Canada and got my post secondary degree in mainland China,so i have see my fair share of things. Everything this guy says is TRUE. However i would point out that he also left out some (i would consider very important) important aspects like: People, Hygiene, Social Constructs, Social services efficiency,corruption etc. Perhaps it would be good if he did a part two on this video. Also, i particularly admire what he said about adventure China and opportunities. Even as an "asian" i am deterred from exploring the vast mainland. Perhaps its because I'm not a very adventurous person. Safety is another concern. Good work!

Taiwan has not proclaimed independence, but it has long been de facto independent, while the People's Republic of China (which has never had jurisdiction over Taiwan) is vehemently opposed to any recognition of the Republic of China (Taiwan) as a country at all. Officially, *both sides* claim that Taiwan is a province of China, but there are absolutely *two Chinas.* Officially, they overlap completely, while for all practical purposes, they are two countries.

Taiwan. Jewel of the east. The real china.

Taiwan is awesome. Amazing people, food, culture, temples, countryside, coast and mountains ❤️

I love taiwan. Want to move there.

This video sounds very unbiased and accurate. I also agree with your conclusion that Taiwan is still a lot better than China.

Taiwan is amazing, people are so helpful and welcoming. Miss you Taiwan :-)

If you are lost in Taiwan and open up a local map as a foreigner, local people will guide you to your destination, maybe offer you water refreshment on a hot afternoon, converse in a discussion relating to your country(they love Europe) NOW if you are stranded in a busy Shanghai street...........you will be approached by two nice/pretty looking Chinese girls who would take you to a Tea House where an inflated bill will be produced before you leave or be approached by someone(normally a well dressed Chinese guy )who claims losing his wallet and needs 200 RMB or a guy selling fake watches or by a hooker looking to massage you, make you happy. There lays the difference on how each country treats foreigners.

Having been to both Taiwan and China I'm gonna say I actually prefer Taiwan. I generally had a more positive experience there and as you said, the street food there is really amazing, especially at the night markets. I also felt generally safer in Taiwan than in China. That being said I only visited the western coast of Taiwan, I'm not familiar with cities like Hualien or Hsinchu. China is really diverse but it's a little too much for me as a sheltered city boy lol

Stay free Taiwan!!! The world supports you despite China’s bullying.

Taiwan for sure ! 💙 Also the ppl are a lot more friendlier and offer more to help. Taiwanese ppl are very respecting. They respect everyone around them, including the environment as well. Taiwan is very clean. The people don’t pee or poop everywhere. They can speak and understand English !! I love Taiwan 🇹🇼 💙

As a Malaysian-Chinese living in Japan, I have to say that I prefer Taiwan (Republic of China) and I dislike the CCP. Seriously, if any of you are Mainland Chinese, don't blame me for this, it's just my opinion. But there are reasons as to why CCP can't just abandon authoritarianism in Mainland China and replace it with more preferably Taiwan's democracy. First of all, if CCP replaced their system with democracy, it'll result in the internet to become much more open and people will start to become really angry if they suddenly know all the lies the regime taught them to be. And perhaps, turning Mainland China into a democratic federation will cause 1.30+ billion Mainland Chinese to revolt against the regime due to freedom of information and not only China will be affected, the whole Asia will be involved with this issue. So yeah, simply replacing the Mainland Chinese system with democracy doesn't work since the Mainland Chinese have been brainwashed and lived under the system for a really long time. They need to take it slow and easy and wait for Mainland China to finally become a free democracy.

Sorry for the stupid comments left by my... my fellow countrymen. I'm glad that someone keeps doing videos for foreigners who are interested in China.

Why you have to be dressed like a CIA agent?

As a Taiwanese, I've never considered the idea of Taiwan as a cross between Japan & China; and of Hong Kong as a cross between UK & China. Very interesting perspective indeed!

Even if I get a free flight ticket to China, I would still pay a flight ticket to Taiwan. That's how great the place is.

My ex wife is Taiwanese and had quite a few friends and contacts from Taiwan. Not one of them wanted to be part of the mainland Chinese government. They are their own country and entity. I have a brain washing test for any main land Chinese people I meet. I just ask One question: Is Taiwan its own country? or If Taiwan wants to be by itself separate from China then don't they have the right to be? ... if you can think for yourself and answer "yes" or even "The Chinese government thinks they own Taiwan [but actually not]" is acceptable and you can be my friend. Otherwise you are ignorant of self governance and power of choice. Taiwan has held off a Chinese take over for so long is laughable that people in china think they own Taiwan.

Eastern part of Taiwan is an amazing place to visit, blue sky and beautiful gorges,, Wonderland...

i’m a taiwanese living overseas since i was 3 and i’m still very proud of taiwan and how far it has come

Winston, I watch all of your videos and I would without a doubt visit Taiwan but never China. Taiwan seems much safer and cleaner. China looks like filthy. I am only going by your videos. Thieves everywhere, hustlers everywhere, you say you can go out at night without worry..thats great in China. I am an American, and don't have much use for Communism. That said hello Taiwan. Hong Kong looks pretty good also. Like I earlier said I am only going by your vids not by visiting. Thanks Winston.

Taiwan anyday. Taiwan has a huge plethora of food. I have never dealt with a ride person in Taiwan like I did in China. Almost all of the people that I have encountered in China have been very rude. They shove and have no concept of waiting in lines... Or that's how it was when I was there in 2010.

I’m currently living in Taiwan, and want to challenge some of the points you made in your video. The cost of living is a lot higher if you live in the more developed cities, Taipei, New Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung. If you live in Tainan and other smaller areas - you will pay less. I live in New Taipei City, in a shoebox apartment with 1 room and a bathroom. I pay roughly 13,000 NT$, which is around 2399 RMB. Update on Taiwanese Travel: we have Ubus, HSR, Trains, private transport, and like you said scooters. And Ubike, all available for foreigners to use. As for MRT / Metro / Subway / Monorails Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, Taichung Taipei have MRTs, and more recently Tainan is also getting an MRT. You also shouldn’t pass off Taiwanese food as inauthentic Chinese food, when making your comparison, because it seems to discredit ancient tradition and recipes that predate the The modern Taiwan - that’s right! Taiwanese aborigines have been making their own food for hundreds of years, who knew they could do that?! Jokes aside, it is more than just what they took from Japan and China. Taiwanese food is much tastier than China - this I can agree with, especially in Tainan. They do have Chinese, Cantonese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese restaurants, but they also have their own authentic Traditional Taiwanese food which is super delicious. Travelling around Taiwan: you literally can’t see (or experience) everything Taiwan has to offer in a few days. That is untrue, and miss sells the Taiwan experience. I spent two months living here, exploring all around the country in 2016 and I barely scratched the surface. I visited Taiwan a few times after that, before settling down last year - and I still haven’t fully explored everything. (Granted work keeps me busy, but still I travel each weekend) There is so much more to see than the usual tourist hotspots, even if sometimes it’s underwhelming. Usually your content is better informed, but this time you were way off. Like yourself, I can rightfully talk about Taiwan as my Wife is Taiwanese, and is also a very traditional woman - who follows the older traditional Chinese/Taiwanese way of life. Taiwan arguably inherited a lot of the better parts of the old China, while still being its own thing (much like pre-2019 Hong Kong). Finally, there is a lot of adventure in Taiwan, and the more south you go, the less Mandarin and English you will hear, especially from older people they mostly speak Taiwanese. Younger folk will speak Mandarin, but English? That’s quite uncommon. Taiwan is relatively safe, and a lot of fun, and you have freedom of speech, and aren’t at risk of vanishing because you upset Winnie the Pooh. An additional note: Taiwan was part of the old traditional China, but it became its own thing and has its own identity just like the peoples’ republic of China. You shouldn’t keep referring to China as the mainland when discussing Taiwan in the same sentence - it will offend Taiwanese people. Both countries across the Taiwan Strait were born from the original China, and both countries have their Pros and Cons. But the only real downside to Taiwan, is that it is a super hot country with high humidity. Anyway, stay awesome!

I am going to Taiwan next week, mainly because of this quick and informative video. Thanks Winston!

Taiwan is better than china, thats all guys, thats the reason why im learning traditional mandarin. For me Taiwan is an independent country, aunque les arda a los chinos ;) Taiwán I love you and I love your friendly people, ill go to you soon I wanna go to the top floor of Taipei 101. Greetings from México, viva México Y Taiwán cabrones!!! 我愛台灣

It's 2 countries. Taiwan has better food. China is old dirty rural place but both have nice culture.

you have touched the untouchable subject, serpentza you are a brave man

Very informative. Thanks. I was not thinking about visiting Taiwan. But, your review, especially abt the food choices and food safety have convinced me to put it on my travel list. 🙂

Your videos are fantastic and balanced. Just wanted to say I lived in Taiwan for several years in the naughties. The service there was amazing, people are polite, great for technology lovers, fast internet everywhere, awesome food, convenient for shops and service and has that Japanese influence and not poisoned with communism. I can’t speak for China as I have not been there yet but when I came back the UK it felt like I am in a 3rd world, retarded country with a serious drinking problem. Not a developed country - in fact, quite the opposite. Didn’t see many drunks in Taiwan making idiots of them self in public like you do every single day here in this backward, depressing little turd of an island. One thing is for sure - Taiwan has millions of scooters. Maybe as many as there are people…maybe more.

I'd like to add two more things: 1) Driving in Taiwan is noticeably more pleasant than in China. The major cities of China are much more crowded than any city in Taiwan, and the driving ethics in China is even worse than Taiwan's. 2) Air quality in Taiwan is much better, because there are a lot fewer factories, coal-burning power plants, and cars.

Here is my two cents: 1: Food safety is also a big problem in Taiwan, tainted milk, tainted tofu, gutter oil, plasticizer scandal, you name it, basically all food scandals happened in China, they happened in Taiwan before and it's still happening, but yes, Taiwan is more safe than mainland China in general when it comes to food, cause it's relatively a developed country. 2: As for local cuisine, it's safe to say Taiwan is more diverse than Shenzhen, but not necessarily better, Cantonese cuisine is the height of Chinese cuisine IMO, I've been to Taiwan, their food is meh, but certainly can woo a lot of foreigners and people for North China, but as a person who have traveled pretty much all southern provinces in China, Taiwanese cuisine is mediocre comparing to Cantonese, Fujian, Sichuan and Hunan cuisine. 3: After all, I think it makes less sense by comparing Mainland China as a whole with Taiwan beside politics and censorship, for rent, food price and cost of living in general, first-tier cities like Shenzhen can't really give you a full image of China, many second-tier cities have better infrastructure, more opportunities than Taiwanese cities, but with a more reasonable salary/cost ratio, that's why there are so many Taiwanese ( more the a million) living in Mainland China at the moment. 4: Taiwan used to be one of the four Asian tigers, but ever since their political reform, it stops making progress, their economy now highly rely on Mainland China, their average salary has been being stagnant for over a decade, it's still a beautiful island with high living standard, unique culture and democratic political system, and it would be at the top of my list of destinations for a working holiday, but if I want establish a career, I would have a second thought on living in Taiwan.

Mate, I really appreciate your 21:9 perspective ratio. Your video really shines on my ultrawide monitor! Great work and Keep up !

Thanks for that Serpentza, it was both interesting and informative. I have to say though that of the 2 places, I would prefer to visit or even live in Taiwan over China. That's mainly because of safety, efficiency and cleanliness. To me Taiwan has that orderly 'everything is under control' feel of Japan. Also, while not a biker myself, I really like the scooter culture there. Thanks again.

I worked in Taiwan and China, and I would go back to Taiwan in a heartbeat, but I would demand a MASSIVE expat package to go to mainland China. My guess is that the author stumbled into China on the backpacker trail and teaches English or something. For a regular working man doing an expat post, Taiwan is just plain better (Hong Kong is nice as well, but is has declined a LOT in the last 20 years). The largest difference is cultural. In Taiwan they like foreigners. They have no animosity towards others and they are very honest. Many Chinese hate foreigners and they all seem to think cheating foreigners is wonderful. There is WAY more crime, and the police do not care about crime at all when foreigners are concerned. Furthermore, there is just more bad government and corruption (Taiwan has a modern government like the US, Europe or South Korea). Working in Taiwan, bringing your family, that is great. Mainland China is a challenge. Taiwan and Hong Kong are easy posts. Mainland China is a hardship post. Do not allow the fancy buildings to fool you, the country is still developing. The real issue is the government. The government and the general culture are simply better in Taiwan.

特意用中文回复，各种关于两岸的视频底下都是各种嘴炮各种战，不过希望大家这视频底下别骂了，真没啥意思。

Happy Republic day Taiwan long live Taiwan full support for free Taiwan country love from India ♥

Great comments about Taiwan. Thank you!! Just one thing- You forgot to mention how friendly and accommodating Taiwanese are to foreigners, which is pretty hard to find in this world.

For me this is so easy - Taiwan is the place to visit. Food is incredible. People are friendly. Japanese influence is my favorite part of Taiwan - love to see Katakana everywhere! Taiwan! China is dreadful. Avoid.

you should move to Taiwan

I'm moving to Taipei on 2018, and loved this video, to be honnest, i love this chanel, 3erd year studing chinese, first time I was in China was 7 years ago but many things to learn still, the best of this chanel is the english, Im not an english speaker (I think I can't get First Certificate still) but I understand 100% what Winston says... love it. Thanks a lot for the videos!!!

Taiwan needs to be its own independent country. It is so different from Mainland China.

I think i prefer Taiwan, in need no hassle, or "adventure"

I think you have left out the major difference: people. I have been living in Taiwan for years, spent months at a time in China, speak fluently Chinese and have friends on both countries. It might sound harsh to say but the biggest difference between China and Taiwan is the level of education. There is no place in China (and I visited more than 20 cities) where they did not try to rip me off, scam or rob me. I have even been arrested for leaving my passport in the safe of the hotel and harassed by officials when refusing to pay a bribe. In China most of the people are uneducated, rude basically have erased the words "excuse me, sorry, please" from their vocabulary. being able to speak Chinese really makes the difference as you understand what they say behind your back. In Taiwan I found the exact opposite: people help out foreigners more than their own, it is difficult to find people under 40 that are not college educated (or being students) and the streets are safer than in Germany. The difference is so marked that I choose to live in Taiwan while being not able to stand more than two weeks at a time in China anymore.

Thanks for this video. Taiwan is now on my bucket list to visit.

Taiwanese are pretty polite, and dogs there are too. It's a pleasure to travel in Taiwan.

I prefer Taiwan to Hongkong

Great buses in Taiwan. There's one called Free Go which is a intercity bus with big comfy chairs and movies to watch and it's cheap too. Sometimes there is crazy traffic in Taiwan. I remember driving back from Kenting during Chinese New Year. True, there are tons of temples in Taiwan.

Bonjour, I only slept one night in Taipei between connecting flights, your description makes me want to go and learn some more.

Taiwan seems better than China because the food is safer, no spitting, cleaner etc. China seems to be a bit cheaper but the cheapness comes with the lack of basic hygiene conveniences we have in the west

Nice video. Have you noticed the difference in the manner of people in Taiwan and China? I'm Taiwanese btw, in China at the moment and frankly, quite shocked by the rudeness of the chinese people.

I am a Chinese, but I have to admit that Taiwanese are more friendly and kind. Although some Taiwanese cities are old and small. It is better to go to Taiwan if you want to see real Chinese culture.

Always very accurate observations are given, very well filmed as well, it makes you feel like if you are there, most interesting to watch all the.way and a clear diction very easy to follow. Thanks for all your work.

I love ROC From ROK❤❤❤😊😊🥰🥰🇰🇷🇹🇼

Nice video, I noticed that you did not focous too much in the problems of each country, specially china(like the social problems, polutions, communis), and I really liked this objective general info about the two countries. Taiwan seems more appeling and china as you said more adventerous. Great work, keep it up.

I love the new camera. Very high quality. Love your work man, keep up the great job!

I like both, but for me now I would recommend Taiwan. It is much cleaner, the food safety is taken far more seriously in Taiwan, the people that live on Taiwan are far more open and the ease to travel makes it a must-go location, especially if you are only able to take a shorter holiday!

I hope China will get better soon. I hope Chinese will enjoy democracy soon. All the best wishes from a Taiwanese.

食物这点。作为一个中国人，退一步说华人。。。在台北，深圳，上海吃四川火锅。。。能和在重庆吃一个味道吗？所以说台湾很多各地美食不假，至于十分地道这点。。老外吃不出来，你们作为华人心里没数？至于传统文化也是一个道理，福建文化为主体的台湾只是中华文化一个部分，说白了中国没有一个地区有那么大口气说自己能完全代表中国文化，你舞狮能玩过广东人？扭秧歌能搞得过陕北？园林比得过苏州？宫殿比得过北京？你一个岛代表什么中华文化？开玩笑。。。

great video, well researched and quality production, thank you!

This is so neat . Am looking to visit Taiwan in March 2020 . Mainly for the World Orchid show . Will like to see some of the place while I am there , seems relatively easy , given time and cost restraints . While I also try and avoid politics , it has seemed China has been quieter about the 'Taiwan ' issue :-) Am sure to learn more when I stay with friends next year . Not much love lost between the 2 countries . Want to get off on the wrong foot in Taiwan ? Call them 'Chinese' :-( I agree that going out into the rural areas of China is more ' authentic ' than Taiwan , I just do not have the time or budget for China at the moment . And have to stop over in Vietnam again . From where in RSA are you from ? Keep up the good work .

Hey, serpentza. I really like your video to show the differences between Taiwan and Mainland China. But I don't think it is a good idea to compare Shenzhenwith cities in Taiwan. Shenzhen is a young modern city, and much bigger than any city in Taiwan, that's why you cannot find a lot of traditional Chinese culture there. However, if you live in some historical cities like Nanjing or Suzhou, you can easily find traditional Chinese cultures and which are more ancient.

moving to taiwan.you can drive motocycle and drink beer.hooray!!

Lived in Taiwan for 10 years, the U.S. prior. A place like Hangzhou I can dig. The cityscape and climate of Hangzhou >>> Shenzhen. In general traditional food in China is very good but overall I’d pick Taiwan any day. Western food, like McD and KFC, is just like how we view Chinese food in the states. Not to mention some of the market foods in China you’ll often hit a land mine. Whilst Taiwan tends to be more balanced.

My teaching experience in Taiwan was very laid back. I think with all things it depends on your employer, but no one I knew had performance reviews. Mind you this was almost 20 years ago 😬 and they were desperate for teachers. We could demand crazy pay, paid flights home, paid vacations. Man, we had it good.

i love taiwan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

還有一點，大陸這邊從小就在宣傳台灣的美，台灣是寶島，日月潭是明珠，讓我們對台灣的想象都好得不得了；但台灣那邊呢？宣傳的是大陸的飛彈，是大陸的空氣污染，是大陸的軍事威脅，是大陸人民吃不起茶葉蛋。台灣朋友們，到底是我們大陸人敵視你們，還是你們不願意和我們友好？前些日子高雄地震，台灣BBS上對大陸救援隊的評論都是一個字“滾”，你們知道這傷透了多少大陸人的心嗎，知道這讓多少原先支持兩岸和平的大陸人選擇了“拋棄幻想，準備打仗”？你們台灣人的態度，讓我們看不到任何兩岸友好的希望，讓我們認為只是一廂情願！

Hi Winston, I enjoy watching your videos, I wanted to know how you upload to You tube each time if its blocked, do you have to use TOR or something for it to work?

Really thoughtful and informative. These comparison videos are a great format.

People: Taiwan number one Chinese: Cao Ni Ma

What an informative video it is, thank you! I will travel to Taiwan in a week and it made me happy to choose that destination, not because I don't want to go to China. If you ask me I go everywhere! To be able to live in a different world even for a small amount of time is just amazing.

great info, i've headr all this stuff elsewhere too, but it's nice to get a new perspective on it. thanks!

I love the music you add to your videos Serpentza! It's a great touch

As a Chinese, I have never been to Taiwan. I will definitely travel there once.
