    As a Taiwanese, I want to tell you that living in Hsinchu is windy & chilly in winter, but it doesn’t rain a lot also. But it would be humid and rainy from March to June, so you better have a dehumidifier in your home.

    • @LayersOfJenn
      @LayersOfJenn  4 года назад +5

      We have an air purifier that also is a dehumidifier that we brought from Japan! Just one though so, maybe we will have to get another eventually :)

    Also, to note with the bonsai seller.. I *think* is was bc the price was maybe bad luck so he gave us that deal. It could be a lot of other reasons too because he did talk A LOT to us but sadly, we couldn't understand much. Google translate helped a bit though. ANYWAYS, he was SO sweet ❤️

      Have you ever considered getting an ili translator? I bought one years ago to use for work and then ended up leaving my job and moving because my dad had a heart attack, so I wanted to go home and be closer to him. Funny enough I have my English to Mandarin and Mandarin to English translators still that I never did get a chance to use. But they have greatly improved their software now.

    I lived in Taichung for ten years and just moved back home with my family last year , so these videos really make me miss Taiwan SO much! It reminds me of my early days there when everything was new and exciting , shopping at all the same places to set up our apartment ,etc. I had three of my babies there and we loved Taiwan so much. Looking forward to more of these videos!

    Jenn, the snake plant doesn’t like direct sunlight and during winter you really don’t have to water it much at all. Summer though, I would water it every 30 days as the man said. I have many snake plants and I don’t even water it that often. If your unsure you can get measuring tools to check on the moist.

    • @LayersOfJenn
      @LayersOfJenn  4 года назад +4

      Noted!! The sun doesn’t hit where I have it on the tv stand~ and I put a chopstick deep into the soil so when I pull it out, I can see if the soil is dry or not! At least that’s what a RUclips video told me to do😅👌🏻

    Wow in the thumbnail you look so busy haha missed Taiwan ~ btw not sure if you would go to this place [ Yi Pin Beef Noodle, 壹品牛肉麵 ] it's probably not to far away from where you live (it's in the same city) it's not the best looking area but they literly have the best beef noodle soup ever!! my dad went there for years and hes European and he has been using google translate communicating fine with them. long story short they have yummy noodles good for lunch time! hope you can go there~and if you went there but don't feel comfortable there are lots of places like grilled steak house and fancy restaurants nearby. also I love your videos~

    It looks like an exciting city so far, lots of shopping , The Hola store reminds me of The area of IKEA where you pick stuff up, the lighting and curtain area anyway. The apartment is looking good, I’ve been on the hunt for sheets myself, it’s a pain when you can’t find what you want. You’re lucky you finally found ones you like. I think part of the problem is I want to wallpaper one wall and I can’t find the right paper so I can’t settle on bedding till I find that. I saw one I love in a video of someone I follow in Sweden.......not much chance of finding that in Halifax though.😥 I’m happy the apartment is starting to feel like home, are you starting to get stir crazy yet? You lived an active and social life in Japan, now not working, T being at work all day and you don’t know a lot of people yet, I’d be getting antsy and frustrated. I thought I’d love not having to work, finally having time to do all the things I’d put off until I retired🙄. That lasted about a month and then I was bored out of my mind, missed kids I’d spent 25+ years working with. I ended up working part time and volunteering . I hope you get to meet new people soon so you can get out and have some fun.🙋🏼

    • @LayersOfJenn
      @LayersOfJenn  4 года назад

      Haha no I’m not getting stir crazy just yet bc if I want to go outside, I can!! Ask me in a couple months though haha.
      & the place I said reminded me of Home Depot was actually not hola, it was another place next to it. Hola was next door and it looks like when you walk around the ikea show rooms! I didn’t film much bc a man named Ivan there helped me look for everything & was SOOOOO kind ♥️

    Taiwaneses with the degree of master even Ph.D would like to work in Hsinchu city even live in Hsinchu because a majority of high-tech jobs here. Top two universities are also here - Hsin hua & Chiao Tung. It's a good place to work even study. Don't miss the good resturant near Zhubei where next to Hsinchu city. If you like the nature, go to Jianshi.

    I'm glad to see that your settling in. You should do a vlog of just what your new home looks like. Like a tour of the guest room, and everything once you're all settled in. That'd be super cool. Anyway, love you sweetie.

    Hi Jenn! My Mom is from Keelung. I remember visiting my Grandmother's house in Keelung only twice (I'm from SoCal). She was a great cook and I shopped for veggies, fruit (wax apples!) and meat on the street corners with her! Keelung is famous for its night market, I believe. Perhaps you can vlog a night market if safe!
