POV Sunday Morning in Taiwan

- An (almost) uncut, unedited, real world "Point of View" of what a typical Sunday morning in Taiwan looks like.
Most videos focus on highlighting one specific thing, perfectly editing and polishing everything, and only showing you what it is that they want you to see.
Those videos are great and definitely have their place.
But...
Have you ever wondered what "real life" is like? What it would actually look and sound like, minute by minute, just living in that place?
That's what this is.
I hope you enjoy.
This is Taiwan.

Made me hungry Sky 🌞🌞
21:21 Ha ha, I wasn't expecting that fish to jump.
I have to come visit someday. I'll need a guide and an interpreter . . . Maybe Liam will be up to the task of guiding his PawPaw around his home town?
He'd be very proud to do so.

Skyler are the vehicles , cars and scooters made in country or imported, I ask because I know some friction with mainland China, is anything imported from there?
There's a mix of locally made and imported. Taiwan is very good at high quality manufacturing. There are a lot of Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans, Mitsubishis, etc, that are made here in Taiwan. Most of them are manufactured by Taiwanese companies in the same factories they produce the Taiwanese vehicles. For example, Luxgen (my car) is a Taiwanese company with a lot of ties to Nissan. CMC is a Taiwanese company that has strong ties to Mitsubishi. Kymco is a Taiwanese motorcycle company, but they also build a lot of the Honda and BMW bikes right in the same factories. Of course, if someone decides they want a specific vehicle that must be imported, then it will be imported. That does make the price go up quite a bit, though. There is some business done with Chinese companies, but it's kept to a minimum as it's typically just not as good of quality. Taiwanese people have a lot of pride in (and place a priority on) quality made products.
Btw, just joined. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your family with us. Looked like a fun fam time. Liam has gotten so tall. And the prices, $98. LOL As of this morning according to Google $1 USD = 32.48 TWD. As you have said, food does not cost much in Taiwan. Y'all bought a LOT. Do you know the 'ballpark' price of everything? For how many days were y'all shopping for? The entire week for all six of you????
I heard your wife say "Mom says, get anything you want." What did you get?
The marketplace layout was very interesting. In some cases food and non-food items side-by-side (the sunglass table for example).
I found the scooters with a couple of older men at two different points in the video, interesting. Riding the scooter inside the marketplace in the same aisles that y'all were walking in.
Just curious, what's a decent income in USD to live comfortably in Taiwan? I assume it varies by location.
Again, thank you so much for sharing with us all. It is really appreciated.
In this part of the world, people don't typically do big grocery runs where they stock up for a week or more at a time. There is a big emphasis placed on fresh, high quality food. So, you will go to buy meat or fish or bread, for example, and it was likely butchered/made that day (sometimes within minutes of you buying it). That means people typically buy smaller quantities that are just meant to cover one specific meal or just a day in terms of major stuff. Fruits and vegetables are expected to last 2 or 3 days.
In Taiwanese culture though, most of the meals you eat are purchased from restaurants, food stands, etc. Most people typically only cook when they are planning a big family dinner or something like that.
To give you an idea of what we paid today;
Big bag full of bananas was less than $3
Big bag of apples (11, total) was about $6
Bag full of corn on the cob (already cooked and ready to eat) was less than $2
A plate full of stone-grilled pork (my God it's delicious) was enough to feed my wife and two boys and it cost less than $3
We all got noodles, as well. The noodles are well seasoned and have various things mixed in (including braised meat) and the total cost for all of the noodles for all of us was less than $4.
