    I'm a Canadian who has lived in Taiwan for 15 years, and I just bought a PC from Guanghua a month or so ago (different shop). I can attest that my experience was similar to yours: great service, great communication, very flexible and the guy was really knowledgeable. He wasn't interested in pushing anything on me, he was way more interested in finding out what kind of system and parts I wanted, what he can recommend in areas where I wasn't sure, and how to keep the system within the budget I was going for. The PC works great (I double-checked the RAM speed after watching your video). I've been playing Ghost of Tsushima, Forza Horizon 5 and Diablo IV all in 4K and the machine hasn't skipped a beat.

    Taiwan is a great country 🇹🇼 I spent half a year there in 2018 and found it to be a very safe place, much safer than Australia and everyone was very kind and friendly. I also went to Guang Hua digital plaza and bought a 2tb HDD for my laptop for a reasonable price. Also when I got it back to my place to install I realised that the laptop or hdd didn't have mounting screws so I went back and someone there with the help of google translate was able to get me some out of their big box of screws for free. I also had a decent experience buying a $700 digital camera from the official digital camera street in Taipei with no mandarin. It was a HK grey import but they still offered a 6 month warranty back to the store.

    Here in Taiwan, most local Mom & Pop computer shops are so intergrated with the community that as long as the owner is familiar with you, he ain't gonna fuss if the computer came out of his shop or not, he'll still service it well.
    The owner of shop in my neighborhood was more interested on what the logic behind my build was that he practically spend hours giving me professional advice for my new build for free and told me I should go to other shops to seek out the parts that I like and want to have instead of using what was ready in his store.
    He said he like customers being proud of their own builds instead of chasing after profit and in the end, I think he was more excited than I was when I finally managed to snatch a founder's edition of the RX 7900XTX and stuck that on my motherboard.

      1946 TIME
      “Formosans greeted the few visiting Americans with: “You were kind to the Japanese, you dropped the atom on them. You dropped the Chinese on us!”
      Thoughtful Chinese on the mainland began to agree with the Formosans. Said Ta Rung Pao, China’s counterpart of the New York Times: “Fundamentally speaking, China was not qualified to take over . . . she lacks the men . . . technique . . . commodities . . . capital. She governs, but is inefficient. She takes, but she does not give. This is the government’s shame.”
      Most foreign observers in Formosa agreed that if a referendum were taken today Formosans would vote for U.S. rule. Second choice-Japan.”
      1949 TIME
      “ At night, electric lights -rare in rural Asia-twinkled from the modest huts of tiny villages. By day many villagers not needed in the fields worked in the small industrial plants that dot the island. Compared to mainland Chinese, the Formosans were well off. Nevertheless they were grumbling. In guarded whispers they spoke of the “good old days” of Japanese rule.”
      “Pigs Just Eat. This resentment is grounded partly in the psychology of a colonial people whose standards of living, general educational level and technical proficiency were raised well above the standards of their mainland Chinese brethren. The Japanese, for example, trained 30,000 Formosan doctors, more than the number in all the rest of China. But when the mainland Chinese took over the island, they did not even treat the Formosans as equals, but as “liberated” inferiors. The result is that even thoughtful Formosans now say: “We think of the Japanese as dogs and the Chinese as pigs. A dog eats, but he protects. A pig just eats.”
      Many Formosans want complete independence for their island-to be gained by revolution or any other means. Others talk of “autonomy under a good Chinese government,” neither Nationalist nor Communist. A third group favors a U.S. mandate.”

Cars passing by inches away when you're crossing on a zebra on a green light, scooters going in every direction... don't get me wrong, it feels like they still kinda know what they're doing, but if you're used to traffic that actually follows the rules, it's wild.

      Yes, Taiwan’s traffic is bad, but believe or not it got much better in the past two years because of the new laws and related discussions. Mainly, cars and scooters have to yield to pedestrians…. For example, in the past, only 60% or less chance to almost 99% if you are on major streets in Taipei.

    @sherazade82 25 дней назад +4

    I don't know about north america, but at least in some countries in asia, it is standard practice to provide the boxes and its contents along with the PC build itself. The concept is that you are bulk ordering PC parts (box and all) from the shop at a discount and paying the shop an assembly charge to build it for you. So what that builder did was very standard and very believable. More likely he thought of Linus as a whale customer and maybe gave a premium service hoping Linus would be a return customer and give more whale referrals. The fact that he assembled the GPU cooler and put everything back nicely was a big plus. Probably part of the whale service. Again, this is very believable and very good service. And the workmanship and specs are sick. Awesome build.

    • @mahoslash
      @mahoslash 25 дней назад +2

      Nah, unless you specifically demanded shops to throw away the boxes and spare parts, it standard practice in Taiwan to hand over everything to you after you purchased your PC.
      First it has more to do with parts warranty where you have to provide the copy of the invoice and send in the complete set back if there are any problems.
      Second, it makes it easier for the customer to seek help with another store for after purchase services as you have all the spare parts and the other shop owners can just configure it back to default if anything fails and you need a quick and easy fix.

    • @sherazade82
