@@小肉肉-f4u Taiwan is a country, not one of your red provinces. Get a grip and leave us alone. By the way, where is that province in red China name "TAIWAIN" located???
You can’t expect much from teaching at cram schools. Unlike formal schools, cram schools normally don’t offer much in addition to the salary. Teaching at formal schools that requires a teaching degree and teacher certificate is completely different. The salary is about the same, but formal schools have better job security and benefits, as well as promotions and pensions.
Part of what is said in the film is objective facts, but there are also many subjective perceptions, first take a few of them related to culture and language, to review Allan lived in Taiwan for so long but not quite Chinese, language is the first step to integrate into the local, do not want to learn is likely to be rooted in a sense of pride, perhaps many of our people also worship and have blind faith in things foreign, no wonder Allan claims to be handsome! However, compared to Ku from France (RUclips channel: Ku's dream), it's really different, Ku is willing to talk about Chinese, and he just lived in Taiwan for a few years, fluent in Chinese to almost no accent, in addition to Ku, I also found that many foreigners (or new residents of Taiwan) speak fluently Chinese, and these foreigners living in Taiwan only a few years, not more than a decade. We would like to call them Taiwan's new residents, not foreigner. Compared to Allan, who has lived in Taiwan for more than a decade but is less likely to say Chinese, of course, it is difficult to integrate into the local second step: culture. Therefore, everything has a starting point, learn the local language (Chinese) is a starting point, from this starting point and then into the cultural level, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", it's not out of place, and not feels like a fish out of water, the native differences will not be magnified, always feel like foreigners, Allan your 12 reasons will gradually reduce! 影片中所談論的有部分是客觀的事實，但也有很多是主觀的認知，先拿其中有幾個涉及文化與語言的來講，就要檢討Allan住在台灣這麼久卻還不太會說中文（漢語），語言是融入當地的第一步，不願學習則很可能是根著於一種自傲自大的優越感，也許是我們很多人民也崇洋，看到你們這些人就比讚，難怪Allan自稱帥倫！不過，對比從法國來的酷（RUclips頻道：Ku's dream酷的夢），真的天差地別，Ku很願意講中文，而他只不過住在台灣幾年而已，漢語流利到幾乎沒有口音，除了Ku，我也發現不少外來新住民的中文很棒，而這些住在台灣才幾年、最多不超過十年的外國人，說著一口流利的中文，我們很願意稱之為台灣新住民，比起Allan住在台灣超過十多年卻還不太會說中文，當然要融入當地的第二步：文化，是不能類比的。所以，凡事都有個起點，學會當地語言（本地就是中文）就是個起點，從這起點再進入文化層次，所謂的入境隨俗就比較不會格格不入，原生相異點也才不會被放大，永遠感覺像是外國人，Allan那12個原因就會逐漸減少！
I think people should not move to ANY new country unless they are ready for challenges and meet those challenges with a positive attitude. So what you shared makes a lot of sense for anyone moving to any country. Another Video idea for you “Are You Moving to Another Country? My top advice for you!” Related, but a different angle.
I have to say, Alan has made SO MANY videos about how awesome Taiwan is! Alan had done SO MUCH to spread the beauty of taiwan to the world! Taiwanese should be grateful for him! 👏👏👏

Great video! I love getting a more balanced perspective on moving to Taiwan. My partner and I used to live in SE Asia and a lot of these points apply to all the countries in the region. When we visited Taiwan, we swore we would come back and have been considering moving there. I'd love to hear your perspective on people that work remotely or are self-employed moving to Taiwan.
Taiwan topped the charts for the third year in a row in the survey of 12,420 expats conducted by InterNations, a Munich-based expat network with about 4 million members. Expats appreciated Taiwan's medical care, on top of quality of life. A full 96% of respondents were happy with the quality of care, compared with 71% globally. Expats also reported they were more satisfied with their job security in Taiwan and state of the local economy than their peers in other locales.
I usually watch and never comment but today is well worth it. This is bay far the best video so far in your channel. The music choice is great too! Something new and refreshing at last! Kudos
Taiwan is ranked the best destination in the world for expatriates for the third time in a row, according to the Expat Insider 2021 Survey released May 18 by Munich-based InterNations, the largest global network for people living abroad. Respondents' level of satisfaction was gauged across five indices: cost of living, ease of settling in, personal finance, quality of life and working abroad. Taiwan scored first in quality of life for the fourth year on the back of strong showings in the subcategories of health and well-being, where it topped the list, and travel and transport, where it claimed eighth place. Taiwan was rated well ahead of global averages for job security (83 percent vs. 61 percent), state of the local economy (85 percent vs. 62 percent globally), happiness with one's job (75 percent vs. 68 percent), and life in general (80 percent vs. 75 percent). In addition, expats in Taiwan rated the quality of their host country's medical care very highly at 96 percent (vs. 71 percent globally), and 94 percent were pleased with Taiwan's affordability (compared with 68 percent globally). In particular, 94 percent and 96 percent of expats in the country respectively appreciate the affordability and quality of Taiwan's healthcare, while 90 percent give the local transportation infrastructure a positive rating. Taiwan also led the world in the index of working abroad due to its high rankings in the subcategories of career prospects and satisfaction; work and leisure; and economy and job security. Overall, 83 percent and 85 percent of expats in Taiwan are satisfied with their job security and the state of the local economy, respectively.
I think being honest about the downsides of living here is great for setting realistic expectations about moving here from overseas. And frankly, it helps locals understand what we need to do better in. So kudos and thank you for doing this video! What you're doing is constructive criticism, which is highly valuable.
Nothing is perfect. Discussion of one thing with different angles leads different conclusions. It just depends how people look at it. Don't worry about the influence when you talk about negative things of Taiwan. It's a free country.
I didn’t feel the tone was “negative” at all. Felt like an honest discussion about why some people may not enjoy living in taiwan….every country has its pros and cons. always enjoy your vids.
Thank you for being honest to point out our shortcomings. Those are problems we have been facing in past decades but without apparent improvement. Hope we can face them rather than just getting used to them.

Great points all well made Allan. Keep up the good work ( Formerly known as Mike Waterford) The First time i landed in Taiwan it was like landing on another planet compared to Ireland. Took some time and many visits to adjust.

The guy was just being straightforward. One of the most realistic videos I've ever watched about Taiwan. Thank you for pointing out all those factors foreigners are indeed facing here. Great work boss!
Yes!!! You really need to open your mind culturally and socially in Taiwan! It’s an amazing world once a foreigner settles in. And Traffic 100% agreeeeeeee. All the busses in Taipei just cut you off in your little scooter. 😭

11:11 see how well foreigners are treated here? This lady cleaned off the bench with her own hands before Allan sat down. Big respect shown for the guy in the hat
the points you shared were definitely very fair. and its good to shine some light on them, hopefully to encourage improvement. for example, better traffic regulations, better social welfare, and less language barriers but still encourage culture preservation.

一針見血！ I wish I could refute your points of view but I found I can’t. I almost cry out after your video, what you talked about in this video which are so real, it’s sad, but it’s my home country, I still love it.
As a Taiwanese, I think that what Westerners like most about Taiwan is the convenience of being vegetarian. The most annoying thing is probably the traffic conditions. I totally agree with this.
Everything you said is absolutely true. Thanks to be honest in a nice way. I can see you’ve try very hard to adjust yourself to fit in this place. It’s not easy. If I were you I don’t think I can do as good as you. Hope you find your balance and keep living happily here. By the way, your videos are very good. Thanks for sharing your point of view. Have a nice day.😄

Heaven is the only one place which is perfect and need no improvement. As a Taiwanese, I agree with most of what you said and thanks for your honest. Besides, as a Taiwanese living in Germany, I think most of what you mentioned can apply to the foreigners living in foreign countries. By the way, I am from Taichung, and I found that the area where you live and activities seems to be near my hometown in Taichung~ Hahaha...

Absolutely true. Would love to see a followup video interviewing both the locals and foreigners and diving into all these points because we don't usually see this kind of content about Taiwan.
Just love Alan’s videos and this one is no exception. It’s good to see you keeping the balance when you’re talking about Taiwan. That makes your video more real and trustworthy because no please is gonna be perfect.

Your comments are all very genuine he‘s a something the government all the people should think about in terms of improving it thank you so much Taiwan needs a person like you
Pretty much covered the whole topic so nobody needs to make a video with this title ever again! Unless it gets 100k views and I’ll take another look at it in a few months! 😂

I'm a Taiwanese-American and I've been living on an off of Taiwan my whole life and I agree with the points you made in this video! The older I get the more I un-enjoy living here due to your reasoning in this video. What sucks for me is because I speak fluent English but I don't get to earn the foreigner pay because I am Asian and not a "foreigner" meaning I don't have blond hair and blue eyes... So in a way I also feel this video also applies to people like me. Anyways I don't know you will get to see this comment or not I just want to say that I do enjoy watching your videos from time to time and thank you for providing a prospective not a lot of people don't get to see about Taiwan.
I would say this video applies to us "bananas", since we would experience the same sentiments as Allan @lifeintaiwan. But because we look like a local, there's another level of difference in terms of treatment. One minute I could be telling them my passion for Taiwanese Beef Noodles, but next I could be talking about English breakfast and how I miss a toasted teacakes. When I tell locals I'm from UK, they seem very confused.

However, compared to Ku from France (RUclips channel: Ku's dream), it's really different, Ku is willing to talk about Chinese, and he just lived in Taiwan for a few years, fluent in Chinese to almost no accent, in addition to Ku, I also found that many foreigners (or new residents of Taiwan) speak fluently Chinese, and these foreigners living in Taiwan only a few years, not more than a decade. We would like to call them Taiwan's new residents, not foreigner. Compared to Allan, who has lived in Taiwan for more than a decade but is less likely to say Chinese, of course, it is difficult to integrate into the local second step: culture. Therefore, everything has a starting point, learn the local language (Chinese) is a starting point, from this starting point and then into the cultural level, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", it's not out of place, and not feels like a fish out of water, the native differences will not be magnified, always feel like foreigners, Allan's 12 reasons will gradually reduce! 影片中所談論的有部分是客觀的事實，但也有很多是主觀的認知，先拿其中有幾個涉及文化與語言的來講，就要檢討Allan住在台灣這麼久卻還不太會說中文（漢語），語言是融入當地的第一步，不願學習則很可能是根著於一種自傲自大的優越感，也許是我們很多人民也崇洋，看到你們這些人就比讚，難怪Allan自稱帥倫！不過，對比從法國來的酷（RUclips頻道：Ku's dream酷的夢），真的天差地別，Ku很願意講中文，而他只不過住在台灣幾年而已，漢語流利到幾乎沒有口音，除了Ku，我也發現不少外來新住民的中文很棒，而這些住在台灣才幾年、最多不超過十年的外國人，說著一口流利的中文，我們很願意稱之為台灣新住民，比起Allan住在台灣超過十多年卻還不太會說中文，當然要融入當地的第二步：文化，是不能類比的。所以，凡事都有個起點，學會當地語言（本地就是中文）就是個起點，從這起點再進入文化層次，所謂的入境隨俗就比較不會格格不入，原生相異點也才不會被放大，永遠感覺像是外國人，Allan那12個原因就會逐漸減少！
Taiwan is ranked the best destination in the world for expatriates for the third time in a row, according to the Expat Insider 2021 Survey released May 18 by Munich-based InterNations, the largest global network for people living abroad. Taiwan was rated well ahead of global averages for job security (83 percent vs. 61 percent), state of the local economy (85 percent vs. 62 percent globally), happiness with one's job (75 percent vs. 68 percent), and life in general (80 percent vs. 75 percent). In addition, expats in Taiwan rated the quality of their host country's medical care very highly at 96 percent (vs. 71 percent globally), and 94 percent were pleased with Taiwan's affordability (compared with 68 percent globally). Respondents' level of satisfaction was gauged across five indices: cost of living, ease of settling in, personal finance, quality of life and working abroad. Taiwan scored first in quality of life for the fourth year on the back of strong showings in the subcategories of health and well-being, where it topped the list, and travel and transport, where it claimed eighth place. In particular, 94 percent and 96 percent of expats in the country respectively appreciate the affordability and quality of Taiwan's healthcare, while 90 percent give the local transportation infrastructure a positive rating. Taiwan also led the world in the index of working abroad due to its high rankings in the subcategories of career prospects and satisfaction; work and leisure; and economy and job security. Overall, 83 percent and 85 percent of expats in Taiwan are satisfied with their job security and the state of the local economy, respectively.
I think all your points are relevant to anyone who live someone else's country. As an American who had lived in Germany for many years, I was always an "Auslander" in the mind of a German. Even though I have white skin too. Where ever you go , money is the king. Even In Germany though there are social assistant there, as a foreigner, your social assistant is limited, when you are out of a job, you are pretty much screwed. My work permit will eventually expired and no one will hire me. Prejudice exist in every country, not just Taiwan. I think Europeans are as bad. They are able to identified who is Polish, Czech, etc in the crowd, we all look white. No, your video is not negative. It is an eye opener for many who has never traveled out of the country. I, as an American, I learn to love my country more than ever after I have traveled and lived in another country. I have learned to appreciate what my country , where I was born, did for me. I think you should too.

I really enjoyed this video. I was expecting more of the phony "if you don't like having a good time, then Taiwan is not for you" but Allan has come up with some pretty honest reasons, I think. The "communications in relationships" point starting around 07:00 really resonates with me. It's tough having a heart-to-heart disagreement/argument with a significant other speaking a second language. I know that myself. Anyway good work - added some very useful balance to the channel I think.

From Texas and I make more money here than back home as sad as that sounds . Been here over a year and half now, tbh, I'm more scared of dying on the roads of Texas than here in Taiwan . People always ask if I am ABC, which is funny, I'm Mexican. Taiwan is definitely very conservative when it comes to relationships. I would visit my family, but the English company wont compensate for 2 week quarantine which sucks. Healthcare Number 1. So yeah Pros and Cons, but for me , its been a 50 50 balance. Not the greatest, but not the worst! Good informative vid.

From a third world country prespective, like Argentina, Taiwan doesn't seem bad at all. :P Sadly, I'm kinda old to emigrate (I'm 47) but I'd totally do it. I wish I knew about Taiwan sooner in my life. I'd be living there now. :) Traffic seems to be a lot like here. I gave up driving because of it. 😳 Anyways, I love your videos. I'm in love with Taiwan even though I never went there, but all my favorite musicians are Taiwanese. 😁 Big hug from Argentina.
I think claustrophobic feeling only comes up during the pandemic when borders are closed, before border closed, Taiwanese travel around nearby countries...especially to Japan . I think you missed out one thing, the weather, the weather is quite full of moisture in any season, which makes you feel extra cold in winter and extra humid in summer.
Taiwan topped the charts for the third year in a row in the survey of 12,420 expats conducted by InterNations, a Munich-based expat network with about 4 million members. Expats appreciated Taiwan's medical care, on top of quality of life. A full 96% of respondents were happy with the quality of care, compared with 71% globally. Expats also reported they were more satisfied with their job security in Taiwan and state of the local economy than their peers in other locales.

一一回覆Alan：
（1）Alan說外國人在台灣的工作僅限於英語教學或短期工程，這只能說他的同溫層朋友沒有涵蓋更多在台外國人，他至少應該去多看看相關資料或影片，不過，可惜他不太懂中文，否則他會知道有很多外國人在台灣長期工作，也有不少外國人在台灣創業，其中也有科技業。
（2）Alan抱怨關於外國人教英語的薪資，我認為沒有甚麼好抱怨的，一方面這種工作替代性很高，你不滿意要離開，老闆再找一個就好，世界上凡是替代性很高的工作都不會太有錢途，誰叫你沒別的專長，只能把母語當賺錢工具，否則你可以到譬如科技業去工作，替代性就不會比教英語來的高。
（3）Alan抱怨台灣薪水低，這是主觀的事實，但相對稅負低、物價低、健保低廉等，所以按照各國人均國內生產毛額（以購買力平價計算）排列，世界銀行的2019年排名，台灣排名第17名，國際貨幣基金組織的2021年預估台灣排名第12名，還在德國、比利時、芬蘭、法國、英國等之上。
（4）Alan抱怨台灣很貴而無法存錢，但存錢本來就對外國人來講不是像受到儒家文化的東亞人來的有觀念與有紀律，存錢是節流，想要開源，就不要一輩子平庸教英語，才能有更好的頂級生活。
（5）Alan抱怨台灣交通流量，這是事實，台灣地小人稠本就已受限，但仍是有進步的地方，譬如台北自從捷運路網發達起來後改善不少，敬請出門盡量搭乘大眾交通工具，大家少騎車少開車可減少碳排放與交通量。

（8）Alan抱怨台灣離祖國太遠，這沒甚麼話好說的，建議回國工作，或到附近的法國等地工作，bye bye !
（9）Alan抱怨台灣太小，來了超過十多年還不習慣的話則建議離開台灣吧，不過話說回來，為什麼有外國人就執意要留在台灣，因為他們享受台灣。另外，根據萬事達卡公布的最新調查報告「全球目的地城市指數」，2018年全球出國旅遊人次最多的國家，台灣排名第十，排名在前面的都是人口比台灣多的國家，譬如美國、中國、德國、日本、等，若是出國旅遊人次除以人口總數，台灣絕對是翹楚，且台灣觀光客每年出國總花費超過八千億。所以，若是Alan有錢，也可跟這些台灣觀光客一樣，就不會覺得台灣太小。
（10）Alan再來抱怨文化與祖國不同，真的不習慣又不願融入的話，還是建議回國去吧。
（11）Alan抱怨社會福利問題，我想世界各國的社會福利當然是優先照顧本國人民啦！這還用講嗎？
（12）？？？我看完了影片，好像有提到11點原因，但找不到第12點，有可能在第6點至第7點之間談到語言與文化問題，因為話題太相似而分不太清楚段落。關於Alan抱怨很多語言與文化問題，很多是優越感作祟，建議先從學好中文開始，放下執著，就會正向迎來新世界新觀念。

（1）Alan說外國人在台灣的工作僅限於英語教學或短期工程，這只能說他的同溫層朋友沒有涵蓋更多在台外國人，他至少應該去多看看相關資料或影片，不過，可惜他不太懂中文，否則他會知道有很多外國人在台灣長期工作，也有不少外國人在台灣創業，其中也有科技業。
（2）Alan抱怨關於外國人教英語的薪資，我認為沒有甚麼好抱怨的，一方面這種工作替代性很高，你不滿意要離開，老闆再找一個就好，世界上凡是替代性很高的工作都不會太有錢途，誰叫你沒別的專長，只能把母語當賺錢工具，否則你可以到譬如科技業去工作，替代性就不會比教英語來的高。
（3）Alan抱怨台灣薪水低，這是主觀的事實，但相對稅負低、物價低、健保低廉等，所以按照各國人均國內生產毛額（以購買力平價計算）排列，世界銀行的2019年排名，台灣排名第17名，國際貨幣基金組織的2021年預估台灣排名第12名，還在德國、比利時、芬蘭、法國、英國等之上。
（4）Alan抱怨台灣很貴而無法存錢，但存錢本來就對外國人來講不是像受到儒家文化的東亞人來的有觀念與有紀律，存錢是節流，想要開源，就不要一輩子平庸教英語，才能有更好的頂級生活。
（5）Alan抱怨台灣交通流量，這是事實，台灣地小人稠本就已受限，但仍是有進步的地方，譬如台北自從捷運路網發達起來後改善不少，敬請出門盡量搭乘大眾交通工具，大家少騎車少開車可減少碳排放與交通量。
（6）Alan抱怨語言問題，想請問到哪裡不都一樣，我們移民到英國當然也要學習英文，且也不容易融入當地主流社會，還會被歧視。不過，先要檢討Allan住在台灣這麼久卻還不太會說中文，語言是融入當地的第一步，不願學習則很可能是根著於一種自大的優越感！不過，對比從法國來的酷（RUclips頻道：Ku's dream酷的夢），真的天差地別，Ku很願意講中文，而他只不過住在台灣幾年而已，漢語流利到幾乎沒有口音，除了Ku，我也發現不少外來新住民的中文很棒，而這些住在台灣才幾年的外國人，說著一口流利的中文，我們很願意稱之為台灣新住民，有句英文 When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 很值得借鏡，所謂的入境隨俗就比較不會格格不入，原生相異點也才不會被放大，抱持著自大的優越感，當然永遠都是格格不入的外國人！請參考法國學者高格孚的訪問： ruclips.net/video/o4DVQsqeJho/видео.html 、 ruclips.net/video/o4DVQsqeJho/видео.html 。
（7）Alan抱怨文化與語言溝通問題，這有很多層面可以探討，第一，交往了好幾個台灣女人，也不和分手好幾次，那麼不如交往非台灣的女人，譬如同樣來自英文環境的女人（怕這種女人沒有崇洋而看不上你嗎？），第二，與其抱怨別人，先反求諸己，第三，這不是只有文化和語言才有問題，而是每個人都會有溝通問題，即使是家人，第四，放下執著與優越感，把中文學好，你也能使用中文溝通與吵架。
（8）Alan抱怨台灣離祖國太遠，這沒甚麼話好說的，建議回國工作，或到附近的法國等地工作，bye bye !
（9）Alan抱怨台灣太小，來了超過十多年還不習慣的話則建議離開台灣吧，不過話說回來，為什麼有外國人就執意要留在台灣，因為他們享受台灣。另外，根據萬事達卡公布的最新調查報告「全球目的地城市指數」，2018年全球出國旅遊人次最多的國家，台灣排名第十，排名在前面的都是人口比台灣多的國家，譬如美國、中國、德國、日本、等，若是出國旅遊人次除以人口總數，台灣絕對是翹楚，且台灣觀光客每年出國總花費超過八千億。所以，若是Alan有錢，也可跟這些台灣觀光客一樣，就不會覺得台灣太小。
（10）Alan再來抱怨文化與祖國不同，真的不習慣又不願融入的話，還是建議回國去吧。
（11）Alan抱怨社會福利問題，我想世界各國的社會福利當然是優先照顧本國人民啦！這還用講嗎？
（12）？？？我看完了影片，好像有提到11點原因，但找不到第12點，有可能在第6點至第7點之間談到語言與文化問題，因為話題太相似而分不太清楚段落。關於Alan抱怨很多語言與文化問題，很多是優越感作祟，建議先從學好中文開始，放下執著，就會正向迎來新世界新觀念。

我覺得艾倫評價的很公道，因為東西文化本來就有很大的差異，島嶼地域的限制與面積大小確實也讓台灣發展受到很多的影響，至少我認為台灣令人受不了的高房價高很明顯的是受此影響。至於交通，我也真的很希望能夠好好改善，因為我總要打12萬分的精神好好開車，避免發生車禍等我會害怕的事情。

擁有約400萬名會員的旅外人士社群InterNations調查，台灣以高度安全為最大的特色，幾乎沒有受訪者不滿意在台灣的人身安全，另外，有96%的受訪者滿意台灣的醫護品質，比全球整體滿意度71%更高，94%的在台外籍人士對於台灣的物價感到非常滿意。在就業保障和經濟狀況上，台灣的滿意度也高於全球平均。
你說得很好很有建設性，而且很實際
感謝你點出台灣的一堆問題
一一回覆Alan：
（1）Alan說外國人在台灣的工作僅限於英語教學或短期工程，這只能說他的同溫層朋友沒有涵蓋更多在台外國人，他至少應該去多看看相關資料或影片，不過，可惜他不太懂中文，否則他會知道有很多外國人在台灣長期工作，也有不少外國人在台灣創業，其中也有科技業。
（2）Alan抱怨關於外國人教英語的薪資，我認為沒有甚麼好抱怨的，一方面這種工作替代性很高，你不滿意要離開，老闆再找一個就好，世界上凡是替代性很高的工作都不會太有錢途，誰叫你沒別的專長，只能把母語當賺錢工具，否則你可以到譬如科技業去工作，替代性就不會比教英語來的高。
（3）Alan抱怨台灣薪水低，這是主觀的事實，但相對稅負低、物價低、健保低廉等，所以按照各國人均國內生產毛額（以購買力平價計算）排列，世界銀行的2019年排名，台灣排名第17名，國際貨幣基金組織的2021年預估台灣排名第12名，還在德國、比利時、芬蘭、法國、英國等之上。
（4）Alan抱怨台灣很貴而無法存錢，但存錢本來就對外國人來講不是像受到儒家文化的東亞人來的有觀念與有紀律，存錢是節流，想要開源，就不要一輩子平庸教英語，才能有更好的頂級生活。
（5）Alan抱怨台灣交通流量，這是事實，台灣地小人稠本就已受限，但仍是有進步的地方，譬如台北自從捷運路網發達起來後改善不少，敬請出門盡量搭乘大眾交通工具，大家少騎車少開車可減少碳排放與交通量。

帥倫拍這部影片的主題很讚
有一位從美國來台灣申請成為台灣人的男生 他叫做林道明已經來台三十幾年但他始終還是被當成外國人 他拍過類似的影片讓我印象深刻並且改變我對外國人的概念
所以我知道台灣會愈來愈多元所以我已經不單單以外表判斷是否為外國人 而是變成白人或黑人我都會想一下他可能就是台灣人只是我們過去沒意識到！
台灣的歷史本來就是多元的，但是觀念卻還是這樣單一不得不說還蠻奇怪的。
@@eagleharmony8216 歷史是很多元沒錯，可是除了荷治時期以外，都是中國人或日本人統治台灣，所以台灣還會有西方臉孔是外國人這觀念也不奇怪
算是很客氣了才點出12點原因，若是台灣人自己來說一定可以說出數倍缺點。
他這其實是給外國人建議了，並不是台灣的缺點，這樣的建議其實任何國家都說的通了。
@@Maru-tw2xl 非常同意
Part of what is said in the film is objective facts, but there are also many subjective perceptions, first take a few of them related to culture and language, to review Allan lived in Taiwan for so long but not quite Chinese, language is the first step to integrate into the local, do not want to learn is likely to be rooted in a sense of pride, perhaps many of our people also worship and have blind faith in things foreign, no wonder Allan claims to be handsome! However, compared to Ku from France (RUclips channel: Ku's dream), it's really different, Ku is willing to talk about Chinese, and he just lived in Taiwan for a few years, fluent in Chinese to almost no accent, in addition to Ku, I also found that many foreigners (or new residents of Taiwan) speak fluently Chinese, and these foreigners living in Taiwan only a few years, not more than a decade. We would like to call them Taiwan's new residents, not foreigner. Compared to Allan, who has lived in Taiwan for more than a decade but is less likely to say Chinese, of course, it is difficult to integrate into the local second step: culture. Therefore, everything has a starting point, learn the local language (Chinese) is a starting point, from this starting point and then into the cultural level, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", it's not out of place, and not feels like a fish out of water, the native differences will not be magnified, always feel like foreigners, Allan your 12 reasons will gradually reduce!
影片中所談論的有部分是客觀的事實，但也有很多是主觀的認知，先拿其中有幾個涉及文化與語言的來講，就要檢討Allan住在台灣這麼久卻還不太會說中文（漢語），語言是融入當地的第一步，不願學習則很可能是根著於一種自傲自大的優越感，也許是我們很多人民也崇洋，看到你們這些人就比讚，難怪Allan自稱帥倫！不過，對比從法國來的酷（RUclips頻道：Ku's dream酷的夢），真的天差地別，Ku很願意講中文，而他只不過住在台灣幾年而已，漢語流利到幾乎沒有口音，除了Ku，我也發現不少外來新住民的中文很棒，而這些住在台灣才幾年、最多不超過十年的外國人，說著一口流利的中文，我們很願意稱之為台灣新住民，比起Allan住在台灣超過十多年卻還不太會說中文，當然要融入當地的第二步：文化，是不能類比的。所以，凡事都有個起點，學會當地語言（本地就是中文）就是個起點，從這起點再進入文化層次，所謂的入境隨俗就比較不會格格不入，原生相異點也才不會被放大，永遠感覺像是外國人，Allan那12個原因就會逐漸減少！
臺灣也有很多優點，只是臺灣人們都不自覺！
總覺得遇到的外國人都很以自己國家為傲，但是一些臺灣人都有些自卑感存在，這是為什麼呢？我很好奇！
是我個人觀察結果，謝謝。:-)
@@蔡玫芳-k6h 很同意。我的觀察是有一部分原因是有些人從來沒有在其他國家長期生活的經驗，不知道我們擁有許多他國沒有的優點，無法持平的分析，只會放大缺點。還有些人是受到部分媒體長年刻意營造台灣鬼島形象的影響而不自知...
我覺得說的出這個國家的缺點，才是真正的了解這個國家，謝謝你勇敢說台灣這個環境的矛盾，影片很棒喔！
交通死亡率超高絕對是台灣最嚴重的問題， 尤其是來台灣的觀光客要特別特別的注意！！
尤其交通裡面的酒駕，真的造成許多家庭的傷痛與遺憾，因為還是不遵守交通的人害了無辜有大好生命的人。
較有趣的是開車不怕死， 碰到新冠肺炎嚇到叉塞。

I think people should not move to ANY new country unless they are ready for challenges and meet those challenges with a positive attitude. So what you shared makes a lot of sense for anyone moving to any country. Another Video idea for you “Are You Moving to Another Country? My top advice for you!” Related, but a different angle.
So true.
Good point. You can say that again.
agrees with you. if no preparation . you have more than 12 reason to go home.
I have to say, Alan has made SO MANY videos about how awesome Taiwan is! Alan had done SO MUCH to spread the beauty of taiwan to the world! Taiwanese should be grateful for him! 👏👏👏

Great video! I love getting a more balanced perspective on moving to Taiwan.
My partner and I used to live in SE Asia and a lot of these points apply to all the countries in the region.
When we visited Taiwan, we swore we would come back and have been considering moving there. I'd love to hear your perspective on people that work remotely or are self-employed moving to Taiwan.
我是本土長大台灣人，我真的很多地方不喜歡自己國家，例如違規車輛，惡意逼車，無視公共場所撥放宗教音樂。 這些根本不考慮別人感受，還有宗教遊行造成堵塞政府卻默認。 我也不認為我到國外能接受國外習俗，文化。 這些真的要長時間適應壓，就如同你講的英國人到台灣也無法適應很狹小的環境，很像在一座島嶼型監獄坐牢感覺
就跟法國人喜歡抱怨自己的國家
不過還是很愛國一樣嗎? XDDD
建議你移民，台灣不適合你。
台灣跟大陸也能建造海底隧道,只是被政治因素擱置了...
支持你移民
我跟你相反，宗教遊行我反而能接受，而能接受的原因是台灣的確需要自己的文化特色，很多人不喜歡一些傳統文化禮俗，包含信仰，但我的認知裡每個國家都需要各自的特色來吸引外國人觀光或擴大知名度，就像日本女巫神社廣為人知一樣。
而台灣的宗教遊行我覺得不是爛，是缺少整合跟包裝，有許多傳統特色其實都面臨到窘境，年輕人不知傳承，政府包裝做不到一半，於是就呈現出了你看到的樣子，感覺似乎很爛。
Very fair comments, specially on salary, traffic and how Taiwanese treat/look different color's foreigners. Excellent video.
Taiwan topped the charts for the third year in a row in the survey of 12,420 expats conducted by InterNations, a Munich-based expat network with about 4 million members. Expats appreciated Taiwan's medical care, on top of quality of life. A full 96% of respondents were happy with the quality of care, compared with 71% globally. Expats also reported they were more satisfied with their job security in Taiwan and state of the local economy than their peers in other locales.
終於有外國人敢說出台灣醜陋的一面了，感謝你。希望你的誠實能引起政客們的反省。
台灣很多方面仍然像第三世界，有時候所謂的人情味只是把自己的方便建立在別人不便上面，真的很自私。
政客只會說：
這些少數人在醜化台灣
才這樣就叫醜陋的一面？？？？
醜陋也太誇張
第三世界是誇大了，台灣缺點確實是有，但絕對沒到第三世界的程度，更別說其實影片中的很多問題其他國家也都有（作者自己也提到過），是本質上沒辦法杜絕的
其實有時候我覺得大家常說的 "人情味" 是建立在你跟他有對價關係上，有些人知道你...(很窮、支持XXX)馬上跟你切割
說真的雖然本來就沒有義務要好來好去，但偽善反差的那個瞬間有夠噁心
說的太好了 台灣真的很多需要改善的地方 希望每個人都可以一起加油
After watching this video, I decided to join your VIP, I hope everyone living in Taiwan can try their best to improve the problems you mentioned.
Yeahhhhh Charlie!!! Welcome welcome!!!
I usually watch and never comment but today is well worth it. This is bay far the best video so far in your channel. The music choice is great too! Something new and refreshing at last! Kudos

I think being honest about the downsides of living here is great for setting realistic expectations about moving here from overseas. And frankly, it helps locals understand what we need to do better in. So kudos and thank you for doing this video! What you're doing is constructive criticism, which is highly valuable.
Nothing is perfect. Discussion of one thing with different angles leads different conclusions. It just depends how people look at it. Don't worry about the influence when you talk about negative things of Taiwan. It's a free country.
I didn’t feel the tone was “negative” at all. Felt like an honest discussion about why some people may not enjoy living in taiwan….every country has its pros and cons. always enjoy your vids.
臺灣的地理位置是無法改變的，否則很想搬到北歐國家的旁邊。不想旁邊有個惡鄰居。

@@huang4845 台灣會賺對岸很多錢是一種假象啦,很多都是台商在對岸設廠需要從台灣進口零件去組裝再出口歐美日.如果去過對岸真實了解的話,對岸的內需市場很多都不是你能夠碰的啦,如果有真正去過對岸創業過的就知道是不是在醜化它.派駐的台幹是不算數的,因為他的公司已經在當地交好保護費啦.沒關係,這些都是個人選擇沒有對錯,自己的鉉則就自個兒承擔吧.
Thank you for being honest to point out our shortcomings. Those are problems we have been facing in past decades but without apparent improvement. Hope we can face them rather than just getting used to them.

The guy was just being straightforward. One of the most realistic videos I've ever watched about Taiwan. Thank you for pointing out all those factors foreigners are indeed facing here. Great work boss!
Yes!!! You really need to open your mind culturally and socially in Taiwan! It’s an amazing world once a foreigner settles in. And Traffic 100% agreeeeeeee. All the busses in Taipei just cut you off in your little scooter. 😭
Yeah Taipei is another animal!! Think 台中 is bad but I’m happy I’m here and not in Taipei
Part of what is said in the film is objective facts, but there are also many subjective perceptions, first take a few of them related to culture and language, to review Allan lived in Taiwan for so long but not quite Chinese, language is the first step to integrate into the local, do not want to learn is likely to be rooted in a sense of pride, perhaps many of our people also worship and have blind faith in things foreign, no wonder Allan claims to be handsome! However, compared to Ku from France (RUclips channel: Ku's dream), it's really different, Ku is willing to talk about Chinese, and he just lived in Taiwan for a few years, fluent in Chinese to almost no accent, in addition to Ku, I also found that many foreigners (or new residents of Taiwan) speak fluently Chinese, and these foreigners living in Taiwan only a few years, not more than a decade. We would like to call them Taiwan's new residents, not foreigner. Compared to Allan, who has lived in Taiwan for more than a decade but is less likely to say Chinese, of course, it is difficult to integrate into the local second step: culture.

怎麼感覺好像艾倫是不是瘦了？你還好嗎？
以前總是坐在桌子上，現在邊走邊拍還可以運動，太棒了！
呵呵，艾倫之前去醫院，被醫生警告再不減重會有心血管疾病(已經有一點了)，所以艾倫現在正在"健康生活作息"中，我沒記錯的話，已經快2個月了吧(當然啤酒是戒不掉的，只能少喝一點，ㄏㄏㄏㄏ)。
我原本以為理由會是「因為這裡的食物太好吃、因為人太友善，你會離不開」之類的老梗哈哈哈。
12個理由都是事實，部分連台灣人都有深刻的感受。
也很敬佩你遠離自己的故鄉，來到這座小島定居，這需要非常大的勇氣。

yes, all taiwanese will do that for foreigners.

Wow! 原來外國人 在適應上有這麼多的困難處...要移民定居實在需要勇氣，也需要強大的調適能力。謝謝你們這群有趣的外國RUclipsr帶給我們許多觀點，要在鏡頭前，說出心裡真正的想法真的不容易，加油加油！
大部分的內容我都深刻的支持allan的論調， allan住在台中城市裡，影片中可感覺他的壓力 ，有機會 到鄉下去吧！走走，逛逛，換換氣，不一樣的。
看著影片的談話也讓我想起10幾年國外流浪的生活 ，有點差別，也有許多不一樣，唯獨壓力就是那回事。
Thumbs up for this topic! You've mentioned all the crucial parts that Taiwan needs to improve badly! Especially the traffic!
很棒的談論 最愛的是提到的缺點
the points you shared were definitely very fair. and its good to shine some light on them, hopefully to encourage improvement. for example, better traffic regulations, better social welfare, and less language barriers but still encourage culture preservation.

The most annoying thing is probably the traffic conditions. I totally agree with this.

艾倫，你說得很好，辛苦了！
其實我反而很喜歡這種真心話，不過我很訝異沒有提到城市景觀紊亂無章、選舉文化瘋狂等等其他因素，還蠻好奇以帥倫的視角會怎麼評斷這些議題
這些講了就沒人敢來了ಥ_ಥ
外國人到台灣幾乎都政治冷感吧所以沒啥差
@@tzxianggg___ 也是啦畢竟沒投票權
但還是很好奇對於每幾年換一次候選人看板的景觀對他們而言的感想如何😂
選舉文化瘋狂應該不只是在台灣有，只是每個國家行為不同而已
市容我不覺得韓國東南亞有好到哪去，甚至日本都有鐵皮屋招牌，只是比較乾淨而已。
其實台灣有很多優點，但台灣的缺點通常是決定一個人在這裡生存的難易度，而對於外國人來說要在台灣有很高的成就通常會比在自己的母國發展難度還要高太多，像買房就非常困難，台灣的房地產價普遍都超高，薪水漲的又很慢，感謝你給出這麼多中肯的評語😊😊
艾倫真的非常了解台灣 你說的都是我們知道的事實
我覺得這12點說的很好！
相對的…我也認為在任何國家這12點也可以做相提並論的探討
只要你/妳是離開自己的國家去到別的國家就是會面對到這些問題
前提是短暫或長期的情況下

Taiwan is ranked the best destination in the world for expatriates for the third time in a row, according to the Expat Insider 2021 Survey released May 18 by Munich-based InterNations, the largest global network for people living abroad.
Respondents' level of satisfaction was gauged across five indices: cost of living, ease of settling in, personal finance, quality of life and working abroad. Taiwan scored first in quality of life for the fourth year on the back of strong showings in the subcategories of health and well-being, where it topped the list, and travel and transport, where it claimed eighth place.
In particular, 94 percent and 96 percent of expats in the country respectively appreciate the affordability and quality of Taiwan’s healthcare, while 90 percent give the local transportation infrastructure a positive rating.
Taiwan also led the world in the index of working abroad due to its high rankings in the subcategories of career prospects and satisfaction; work and leisure; and economy and job security. Overall, 83 percent and 85 percent of expats in Taiwan are satisfied with their job security and the state of the local economy, respectively.
Absolutely true. Would love to see a followup video interviewing both the locals and foreigners and diving into all these points because we don't usually see this kind of content about Taiwan.
Always appreciate Alan’s telling the truths.
Just love Alan’s videos and this one is no exception. It’s good to see you keeping the balance when you’re talking about Taiwan. That makes your video more real and trustworthy because no please is gonna be perfect.

Taiwan also led the world in the index of working abroad due to its high rankings in the subcategories of career prospects and satisfaction; work and leisure; and economy and job security. Overall, 83 percent and 85 percent of expats in Taiwan are satisfied with their job security and the state of the local economy, respectively.
Your comments are all very genuine he‘s a something the government all the people should think about in terms of improving it thank you so much Taiwan needs a person like you
Great points! ❤️🇹🇼
Pretty much covered the whole topic so nobody needs to make a video with this title ever again!
Unless it gets 100k views and I’ll take another look at it in a few months! 😂
Part of what is said in the film is objective facts, but there are also many subjective perceptions, first take a few of them related to culture and language, to review Allan lived in Taiwan for so long but not quite Chinese, language is the first step to integrate into the local, do not want to learn is likely to be rooted in a sense of pride, perhaps many of our people also worship and have blind faith in things foreign, no wonder Allan claims to be handsome! However, compared to Ku from France (RUclips channel: Ku's dream), it's really different, Ku is willing to talk about Chinese, and he just lived in Taiwan for a few years, fluent in Chinese to almost no accent, in addition to Ku, I also found that many foreigners (or new residents of Taiwan) speak fluently Chinese, and these foreigners living in Taiwan only a few years, not more than a decade. We would like to call them Taiwan's new residents, not foreigner. Compared to Allan, who has lived in Taiwan for more than a decade but is less likely to say Chinese, of course, it is difficult to integrate into the local second step: culture. Therefore, everything has a starting point, learn the local language (Chinese) is a starting point, from this starting point and then into the cultural level, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do", it's not out of place, and not feels like a fish out of water, the native differences will not be magnified, always feel like foreigners, Allan your 12 reasons will gradually reduce!
影片中所談論的有部分是客觀的事實，但也有很多是主觀的認知，先拿其中有幾個涉及文化與語言的來講，就要檢討Allan住在台灣這麼久卻還不太會說中文（漢語），語言是融入當地的第一步，不願學習則很可能是根著於一種自傲自大的優越感，也許是我們很多人民也崇洋，看到你們這些人就比讚，難怪Allan自稱帥倫！不過，對比從法國來的酷（RUclips頻道：Ku's dream酷的夢），真的天差地別，Ku很願意講中文，而他只不過住在台灣幾年而已，漢語流利到幾乎沒有口音，除了Ku，我也發現不少外來新住民的中文很棒，而這些住在台灣才幾年、最多不超過十年的外國人，說著一口流利的中文，我們很願意稱之為台灣新住民，比起Allan住在台灣超過十多年卻還不太會說中文，當然要融入當地的第二步：文化，是不能類比的。所以，凡事都有個起點，學會當地語言（本地就是中文）就是個起點，從這起點再進入文化層次，所謂的入境隨俗就比較不會格格不入，原生相異點也才不會被放大，永遠感覺像是外國人，Allan您那12個原因就會逐漸減少！

台灣的各位面對這個內容，都沒被標題影響
都有好好思考問題 ，然後回答實在值得讚許💪
I'm a Taiwanese-American and I've been living on an off of Taiwan my whole life and I agree with the points you made in this video! The older I get the more I un-enjoy living here due to your reasoning in this video. What sucks for me is because I speak fluent English but I don't get to earn the foreigner pay because I am Asian and not a "foreigner" meaning I don't have blond hair and blue eyes... So in a way I also feel this video also applies to people like me. Anyways I don't know you will get to see this comment or not I just want to say that I do enjoy watching your videos from time to time and thank you for providing a prospective not a lot of people don't get to see about Taiwan.
I would say this video applies to us "bananas", since we would experience the same sentiments as Allan @lifeintaiwan. But because we look like a local, there's another level of difference in terms of treatment. One minute I could be telling them my passion for Taiwanese Beef Noodles, but next I could be talking about English breakfast and how I miss a toasted teacakes. When I tell locals I'm from UK, they seem very confused.
Taiwan is ranked the best destination in the world for expatriates for the third time in a row, according to the Expat Insider 2021 Survey released May 18 by Munich-based InterNations, the largest global network for people living abroad.
Respondents' level of satisfaction was gauged across five indices: cost of living, ease of settling in, personal finance, quality of life and working abroad. Taiwan scored first in quality of life for the fourth year on the back of strong showings in the subcategories of health and well-being, where it topped the list, and travel and transport, where it claimed eighth place.
Taiwan was rated well ahead of global averages for job security (83 percent vs. 61 percent), state of the local economy (85 percent vs. 62 percent globally), happiness with one's job (75 percent vs. 68 percent), and life in general (80 percent vs. 75 percent). In addition, expats in Taiwan rated the quality of their host country's medical care very highly at 96 percent (vs. 71 percent globally), and 94 percent were pleased with Taiwan's affordability (compared with 68 percent globally).
In particular, 94 percent and 96 percent of expats in the country respectively appreciate the affordability and quality of Taiwan's healthcare, while 90 percent give the local transportation infrastructure a positive rating.

總算有標題和內容真正符合的影片了！看完內容其實還蠻開心的，比起整天說台灣多好多好比起來，這些更讓人有真實感
因為這才是我們所接觸到的事實啊！
說的很真實但有2點我必須反駁，1.歐美薪水較高是事實但相對好的工作機會很少，且歐美提到薪水金額都是未扣稅的，買東西還要再付8-13%的貨物或食品稅金，所以當你實際扣完所有的稅後薪水大概只剩剛領到的50-70%,所以實際可支配金額沒想像的多。 2.台灣很美也很小沒錯，但台灣的地理位置坐飛機3小時內航程範圍內可以去到很多不同的國家，反觀歐美3小時飛機你可能還在國內而已，所以台灣的位置讓台灣反而無限大。以上是我住加拿大22年，現在搬回來台灣的感想。

一一回覆Alan：
（1）Alan說外國人在台灣的工作僅限於英語教學或短期工程，這只能說他的同溫層朋友沒有涵蓋更多在台外國人，他至少應該去多看看相關資料或影片，不過，可惜他不太懂中文，否則他會知道有很多外國人在台灣長期工作，也有不少外國人在台灣創業，其中也有科技業。
（2）Alan抱怨關於外國人教英語的薪資，我認為沒有甚麼好抱怨的，一方面這種工作替代性很高，你不滿意要離開，老闆再找一個就好，世界上凡是替代性很高的工作都不會太有錢途，誰叫你沒別的專長，只能把母語當賺錢工具，否則你可以到譬如科技業去工作，替代性就不會比教英語來的高。
（3）Alan抱怨台灣薪水低，這是主觀的事實，但相對稅負低、物價低、健保低廉等，所以按照各國人均國內生產毛額（以購買力平價計算）排列，世界銀行的2019年排名，台灣排名第17名，國際貨幣基金組織的2021年預估台灣排名第12名，還在德國、比利時、芬蘭、法國、英國等之上。
（4）Alan抱怨台灣很貴而無法存錢，但存錢本來就對外國人來講不是像受到儒家文化的東亞人來的有觀念與有紀律，存錢是節流，想要開源，就不要一輩子平庸教英語，才能有更好的頂級生活。
（5）Alan抱怨台灣交通流量，這是事實，台灣地小人稠本就已受限，但仍是有進步的地方，譬如台北自從捷運路網發達起來後改善不少，敬請出門盡量搭乘大眾交通工具，大家少騎車少開車可減少碳排放與交通量。
（6）Alan抱怨語言問題，想請問到哪裡不都一樣，我們移民到英國當然也要學習英文，且也不容易融入當地主流社會，還會被歧視。不過，先要檢討Allan住在台灣這麼久卻還不太會說中文，語言是融入當地的第一步，不願學習則很可能是根著於一種自大的優越感！不過，對比從法國來的酷（RUclips頻道：Ku's dream酷的夢），真的天差地別，Ku很願意講中文，而他只不過住在台灣幾年而已，漢語流利到幾乎沒有口音，除了Ku，我也發現不少外來新住民的中文很棒，而這些住在台灣才幾年的外國人，說著一口流利的中文，我們很願意稱之為台灣新住民，有句英文 When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 很值得借鏡，所謂的入境隨俗就比較不會格格不入，原生相異點也才不會被放大，抱持著自大的優越感，當然永遠都是格格不入的外國人！請參考法國學者高格孚的訪問： ruclips.net/video/o4DVQsqeJho/видео.html 、 ruclips.net/video/o4DVQsqeJho/видео.html 。
（7）Alan抱怨文化與語言溝通問題，這有很多層面可以探討，第一，交往了好幾個台灣女人，也不和分手好幾次，那麼不如交往非台灣的女人，譬如同樣來自英文環境的女人（怕這種女人沒有崇洋而看不上你嗎？），第二，與其抱怨別人，先反求諸己，第三，這不是只有文化和語言才有問題，而是每個人都會有溝通問題，即使是家人，第四，放下執著與優越感，把中文學好，你也能使用中文溝通與吵架。
（8）Alan抱怨台灣離祖國太遠，這沒甚麼話好說的，建議回國工作，或到附近的法國等地工作，bye bye !
（9）Alan抱怨台灣太小，來了超過十多年還不習慣的話則建議離開台灣吧，不過話說回來，為什麼有外國人就執意要留在台灣，因為他們享受台灣。另外，根據萬事達卡公布的最新調查報告「全球目的地城市指數」，2018年全球出國旅遊人次最多的國家，台灣排名第十，排名在前面的都是人口比台灣多的國家，譬如美國、中國、德國、日本、等，若是出國旅遊人次除以人口總數，台灣絕對是翹楚，且台灣觀光客每年出國總花費超過八千億。所以，若是Alan有錢，也可跟這些台灣觀光客一樣，就不會覺得台灣太小。
（10）Alan再來抱怨文化與祖國不同，真的不習慣又不願融入的話，還是建議回國去吧。
（11）Alan抱怨社會福利問題，我想世界各國的社會福利當然是優先照顧本國人民啦！這還用講嗎？
（12）？？？我看完了影片，好像有提到11點原因，但找不到第12點，有可能在第6點至第7點之間談到語言與文化問題，因為話題太相似而分不太清楚段落。關於Alan抱怨很多語言與文化問題，很多是優越感作祟，建議先從學好中文開始，放下執著，就會正向迎來新世界新觀念。
I've been thinking of doing this type of video on my channel. Thanks for providing some balance of perspective!

I think all your points are relevant to anyone who live someone else's country. As an American who had lived in Germany for many years, I was always an "Auslander" in the mind of a German. Even though I have white skin too. Where ever you go , money is the king. Even In Germany though there are social assistant there, as a foreigner, your social assistant is limited, when you are out of a job, you are pretty much screwed. My work permit will eventually expired and no one will hire me. Prejudice exist in every country, not just Taiwan. I think Europeans are as bad. They are able to identified who is Polish, Czech, etc in the crowd, we all look white.
No, your video is not negative. It is an eye opener for many who has never traveled out of the country. I, as an American, I learn to love my country more than ever after I have traveled and lived in another country. I have learned to appreciate what my country , where I was born, did for me. I think you should too.

Thanks so much for the information bro. Me and my wife are planning to move here to teach for about a year or two
That’s awesome!! Just a few things to be wary of that’s all! 90% of the country is awesome!

I really enjoyed this video. I was expecting more of the phony "if you don't like having a good time, then Taiwan is not for you" but Allan has come up with some pretty honest reasons, I think. The "communications in relationships" point starting around 07:00 really resonates with me. It's tough having a heart-to-heart disagreement/argument with a significant other speaking a second language. I know that myself. Anyway good work - added some very useful balance to the channel I think.
Yeah I really tried to think of the really difficult things as opposed to “the foods so good you’ll get fat” etc etc

這個影片非常棒，讚美台灣的優點，確實能讓台灣讀者（包括我）滿足虛榮，但您本則影片分享的跨國經驗，則能擴寬台灣人的眼界！感謝
英國叔叔，你變瘦好多，這樣更帥。
Each of these twelve reasons is a very true representation of the status quo in Taiwan.
I really enjoy this kind of video, ty for your hard work and sharing.

From Texas and I make more money here than back home as sad as that sounds .
Been here over a year and half now, tbh, I'm more scared of dying on the roads of Texas than here in Taiwan .
People always ask if I am ABC, which is funny, I'm Mexican.
Taiwan is definitely very conservative when it comes to relationships.
I would visit my family, but the English company wont compensate for 2 week quarantine which sucks.
Healthcare Number 1.
So yeah Pros and Cons, but for me , its been a 50 50 balance.
Not the greatest, but not the worst!
Good informative vid.

不用擔心，我不會因為有人說台灣的缺點而討厭他，你說得大部分都是很對的👍
還有就是台灣的比較濕，住在乾燥型的國家來可能會水土不服蠻嚴重的
我台灣人水土不服24年了...老實說台中算是台灣比較沒那麼濕的地方了，可惜空氣....
在北部在家醒著除濕就是一直能除出一桶又一桶的水，一兩天沒除寢具地板就潤潤的，開窗通風起風時很容易滿屋子風沙...在市區空氣也沒很好不是很常開窗
@@yscai6673 空氣你們就用力呼吸吧台中變乾淨😏
英國大概只比基隆宜蘭乾燥
From a third world country prespective, like Argentina, Taiwan doesn't seem bad at all. :P
Sadly, I'm kinda old to emigrate (I'm 47) but I'd totally do it. I wish I knew about Taiwan sooner in my life. I'd be living there now. :)
Traffic seems to be a lot like here. I gave up driving because of it. 😳
Anyways, I love your videos. I'm in love with Taiwan even though I never went there, but all my favorite musicians are Taiwanese. 😁
Big hug from Argentina.
you could always visit just be sure you're vaccinated and covid free because taiwan doesn't need more covid 😖
I think claustrophobic feeling only comes up during the pandemic when borders are closed, before border closed, Taiwanese travel around nearby countries...especially to Japan . I think you missed out one thing, the weather, the weather is quite full of moisture in any season, which makes you feel extra cold in winter and extra humid in summer.
yea we definitely don't complain about the weather enough. I'll get right on that
Taiwan topped the charts for the third year in a row in the survey of 12,420 expats conducted by InterNations, a Munich-based expat network with about 4 million members. Expats appreciated Taiwan's medical care, on top of quality of life. A full 96% of respondents were happy with the quality of care, compared with 71% globally. Expats also reported they were more satisfied with their job security in Taiwan and state of the local economy than their peers in other locales.
艾倫永遠敢說真話
這是我欣賞的 有批評才能有進步
希望你一直保持這樣永遠說真話
