when I first arrived in Taiwan I though this was very cute and such a good idea, but after 6 years the beautiful Für Elise plagues my nightmares, the moment I hear this music I run outside with all my garbage already separated and in their respective blue or pink plastic bags but I never reach the garbage truck... I´m always too late... and so the garbage piles up...forever... Still Taiwan is beautiful and clean country thanks to this creative solutions :D
everytime i hear this sound in the street, i need to wake up and need to prepare for another night of work..graveyard..12 years in taiwan as a overseas worker and still, i miss the heart of asia..
You should try visiting Wen-tzu primary school! We have lots of students! Even I am a student. I also like English, We have English teacher on every day 2, 4. It’s fun!
I like how this solution has fostered a sense of social responsibility. Much like the sound effect trash can in tourist destinations makes throwing trash away fun - as opposed to the apathy of just dropping garbage on the ground. Everyone plays a part in keeping their place and community clean.
25 years.. first introduced in Taipei by mayor Chen .. Chen shut bian Ah the fun memories in Taipei in the late 90s Taiwan is like hotel California.. you can check out but you can never leave ( or maybe it never leaves you)
Yes, the garbage trucks are very convenient and Taiwan is rightly held up as a recycling success story, but it very conveniently pushes under the rug the issue of just how much single-use material is used here in Taiwan..... it's insane to think just how much unnecessary stuff is generated in a single day. The whole eating culture is weighted heavily towards take-out and convenience, with all the tea shops, buffet restaurants (many of which, even though eat-in establishments, use ONLY disposable stuff), breakfast cafes, lunch box providers, FoodPanda/Uber Eats etc all exacerbating the problem... as much as I can I try to eat in places only using reusable stuff, it just seems like the vast majority of people don't care about this massive issue. Definitely not the older generations anyway... they're practically throwing plastic bags at you when you go to the local market and sometimes seem surprised when you have your own bag!
I feel like this is not a problem exclusive to Taiwan but in all of East Asia, especially in mainland China and Japan (not too sure about Korea). The overuse of packaging is kind of insane over there.
If the North America refers to this method or policy of "never letting the gabage stay on the ground", probably their problem of gabage is supposed to be dealt with very well. But it demands political wisdom and influence owing to the hardship of persuading the public into following this policy. Anyway, people should care for their own habitat.
It's called a clown horn. Not a trumpet 🎺. It goes baa boo baa boo baa boo The ice cream from those carts is usually watered down crap though. Taiwan has 7 elevens on every single street corner, so we can just get ice cream there. No need for a happy little ice cream truck. Better yet are those blue Taiwanese 粽子 trucks. Now THAT'S something to run outside (and get run over) for.

You're more so correct. Then the question here is why would china still want to take Taiwan especially with the severity of their problem with population and how to control them? I'm pretty sure the answer lies with power and dominance.
Because AJ+ is owned by Al jazeera and those that are aware of it will just comment it and dislike the video all the time. They mostly have an anime profile pic so we can assume that they are losers
Its too funny to have favourite ice cream truck tune around the world being designated to a garbage truck. After living for 3 years in Taiwan, it starts to get on my nerves. They should change it, if not the tune itself, then to have an upgrade on the 8 bit version 😂
Haha, there will definitely be stray dos and cats, but rarely monkeys and crows. You can only see monkeys in the mountains in Taiwan. As for crows, I can't recall if I've ever seen one in Taiwan...

when you run outside for ice cream truck and you actually find a spitting image of your life on wheels.
😂
Yes, I am indeed, the embodiment... of trash...
this almost made me choke on my sandwich... lmao
Actually this music garbage truck had been implemented for so many years, like 10 years if not mistaken.
+Jpan222 台湾人？
No, it’s been at least half a century.
25 years.. first introduced in Taipei by mayor Chen .. Chen shut bian
Ah the fun memories in Taipei in the late 90s
Taiwan is like hotel California.. you can check out but you can never leave ( or maybe it never leaves you)
Would this idea in Taiwan work in the United States?
in case anyone is wondering what that song is, its La prière d’une vierge- T. Badarzewska
This music means so many good memories for me..

OMG IT’S THE ICE CREAM TR-
*wait*
Ice cream trucks in taiwan have those "clown trumpets" on them. Like those little trumpets with a rubber pump. We call them "Babu"

It goes baa boo baa boo baa boo

I work here in taiwan i amazed with the organized discipline of people hre same content on my channel 🥰
I miss this
I love these trucks coming into our neighborhoods playing Beethoven’s “Elise”.
That's why they are one of the first-world-countries (Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Singapore), unlike China.
You're more so correct. Then the question here is why would china still want to take Taiwan especially with the severity of their problem with population and how to control them? I'm pretty sure the answer lies with power and dominance.
again.. who downvotes these videos?! The real slim shady please stand up..

in some countries, this music means ice cream truck.
I work at Valley Vista Services in Pomona, California and their employees were taken by surprise how the trash pick up works in Taiwan.
I wish Indonesia could follow this suit
In Russia, we don't just put garbage on the street, we have big garbage containers outside and garbage truck empties these container automatically

Sad they don't do it anymore

Nina Chen sory, so maybe that's thailand?
Haha, there will definitely be stray dos and cats, but rarely monkeys and crows. You can only see monkeys in the mountains in Taiwan. As for crows, I can't recall if I've ever seen one in Taiwan...
