@@Reisbuerger87 Yes, I've noticed that. It's a bit of a balancing act between business opportunities and house prices.

@@BarrytheSuperScot there must be a deeper story behind what's happening with property prices

@@johnj4042 thank you! Taiwan is so interesting!

Yes, it's always a fun one for a day hike.

Thank you. Yes, you are allowed to fly a drone there in certain areas. Areas around the harbors and crowds are not allowed. You can download the Taiwan Civil Aeronautics Administration's APP that will show you an interactive map of where exactly you can fly in Taiwan.

Thank you! Maybe in the future 😃

Hi there Yes, SML would be a great place for your family to visit. Many of the views and places are wheelchair friendly, especially because of the bicycle routes. However, the old temples are only accessible by stairs. Still, there's more than enough views that are wheelchair friendly and you can also do a boat trip across the lake as a fun activity. Another activity there that's not in my bideo is the gondola ride up the mountain to the aboriginal park. For the rest of Taiwan, you will find Taipei city and all the other major cities to be very wheelchair friendly. The High Speed Rail train is also great. Taiwan has wheelchair friendly busses and taxis too. If you want to see more nature, I would also recommend you rent a car or van and travel down the east coast. Hualien has Toroco that's really worth seeing I'm not too clued up with all the wheelchair friendly places, but I often see a lot of older people traveling Taiwan and there's always wheelchair fiendly bathrooms at all the tourist hotspots and fuel stations, and usually very clean. I'm sure you guys will have a great time. It might just take a little bit more planning. Let me know if there's anything I can help out with

@@discovertaiwanwithjohan thanks mate, much appreciated :) we will definitely do Taipei. I am bummed out we won't be able to do both shufen and djifen though 😁

One of the best places in Taiwan 😃

Hi there. The ability to get lost is usually different for different people. Some people seem to be able to get lost in a mall, while others can cross mountains in a straight line. But the bunkers are all numbered on the walls, so if you go to renegade writings website (the link is at the bottom of the video in descriptions) you can download the detailed map that Anders drew. I also recommend that you always go with a friend on excursions and also tell someone where you are going and when you plan to be back. Make sure you take a flash light and an extra one with batteries. And visit during the weekend when the army is not active. Keep in mind that there's always a bit of risk involved in doing something like this. Be safe and have fun!

Thank you! Much appreciated

Hi joelwu59. Thanks for your comment! Yes, you are right. These days, the Buddhist community makes an effort to ensure that their swastika is reversed. But if you travel to some old temples and monasteries, you will find some swastikas that are turned the other way around. The Buddhists have been using the symbol for much longer, and I think pre-WW2, which ever way the cymbol was turned, was not of any concern to the Buddhists. But it later became of concern, so they most likely made a decision to display it reversed to the Nazi swastika. But this is only my theory, and I can't find any definitive documentation on this decision.

謝謝😃

Hey Barry You can check out the map on Anders' blog with more detail as well: www.renegadewritings.com/2021/07/22/mapping-the-tunnels-part-2/ Yes, it's a military training ground over there, but they only shoot and bomb during the week. So weekends are fine. There's a cafe on top of the hill and the owner can also take you in on a bit more of an organized tour if you are interested. But if you want to do it by yourself, I would recommend you take a buddy and an extra flashlight.

Thank you!

Yea, there were a few incidents in the news where people had Nazi signs or flags in their shops, but it seems like people are now quick to respond to it, and changes are being made.

Thanks for your great comment. Yes, the restriction zones seem to always change and get updated. I had a check now as well, and it seems like that whole area is now a green zone. I've once applied for a special permission permit to fly in Kenting, and then the local office there said it's ok, I can just fly, and I don't have to worry about the permit or anything. So, I'm not too sure how these restrictions are implemented and who checks up, but I think it's best to be safe and follow the rules.

@@discovertaiwanwithjohan Hmm all right. Well I try to always follow the rules or at least fly in a safe manner if none exist. Anyway, thanks for the update! ✌️

Thanks for your insight, Thomas. It's definitely something to think about.

Thank you so much 😃

Awesome! If they're big enough, I'll try to catch some next time for a snack. Thank you 😃

Thank you 😃

Thank you Steve! Much appreciated

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Hopefully you will be able to speak your words soon 😃

Before Hitler's power in 1933 world speak Nazi symbols as Hakenkreuz including the New York times and all media and its NEW Christianity after when Hilter come into power then you used the swastika because you are saying it was not Christianity Hitler is Christian and Nazi people too could find worldwide before 1933 USA army also use that finish air force even Vatican city church(present also) most old church also has this symbol this is British and USA who spread misinformation because Hakenkreuz and hooked cross belong to Christianity you racist people through your NAZI shit to us Nazis used Hakenkreuz, not swastika as their symbol. Hakenkreuz is one of the 5 crosses of Christianity. Nazis can't speak swastika they never speak swastika Hakenkreuz or hooked cross Saying the swastika is a symbol is racist and misleading saying HakenKreuz and Hooked cross is a symbol is a good and right thing what nazi called nazi Hakenkreuz.

Yes, it seems like this has only been a later decision by the Buddhist communities in Taiwan. If you visit some old Buddhist temples in Taiwan, you might find some Swastikas in different directions. Especially when it’s used as decoration pattern. See 0:53 min into the video, window display. In other countries like Vietnam, you will find the Buddhist and Hindu swastika in all directions.

Yes, you are right! Thanks for mentioning it. That is also one of my favorite activities there! I love that new Spanish style water theme park and the roller-coaster where your feet hangs freely. Maybe worth a video on its own, or a video about the theme parks of Taiwan.

非常感謝你

Thank you Sophia 😃

Thanks Richard. I got the music on Epidemic. I will have to get back to you on the names of the tracks.

Thanks. Yes, it is! Hope you can check it out some time

That's a very good idea!

Sheltering underground will be essential for the Taiwanese military. From everything I’ve been reading, Taiwan has invested billions over the decades in building numerous enormous underground complexes, with miles and miles of tunnels. One was in the news today that has the ability to store, arm and service 200 fighter jets, as well as the personal and supplies required to complete such a task. Great video, truly fascinating and beautiful country!

@@j.brendenstookey3437 that's very interesting. I guess with new technology and the latest demands for underground tunnels, it's just easier for the Taiwanese military to build new tunnels and bunkers, rather than refurbishing old ones. Who knows what's actually going on underground in Taiwan? There might be giant bunkers that's just been kept secret all over the island.

Thank you . Yes, I totally agree. PS: Actually, my wife 🤣

Surprisingly, still holding up nicely. I used it again last weekend. I've looked at some other more well known brands and thought of buying something nicer the day that the Decathlon bag gives me issues, but it's still working well after two years of abuse and those orange straps around the back is great for tying extra things on. I think it's the best piece of gear I've bought from Decathlon. I do put smaller dry bags inside for my electronic gear. The SeaToSummit 20L bags are nice. I have 3 of them. One is for the sleeping bag and the other 2 for electronics and clothing.

Appreciate your time !!!! Definitely gonna get one !!

太感謝了 😃

Haha. Thank you Raphael. Yes, I love exploring. I just wish I had more time to also edit videos and produce more. 😃

Thank you 😃 I filmed it last year January. It was a little bit cold in the morning, but the sun comes up a bit later in the winter and it's not so busy with tourists.

@@discovertaiwanwithjohan Thanks.

Ah yes, definitely a place worth visiting. I'm sure you will love it. I hope that you will be able to visit soon!

精闢

對啊！湖水顏色非常漂亮，很魔幻的地方

Thank you so much! I appreciate the compliment

Thanks Ayahe 😊
