A lot of people may be able to speak another language, but they could be from a different region.

It’s not necessarily Taiwanese people are not open to foreigners. It’s mainly the lack of English ability to express themselves. Thanks for her opinion. She’s half Taiwanese. No wonder she really knows the cultures and places in Taiwan. Thanks to her.

I first took a volunteer/assistant English as a Second Language teaching position at a school down the street from my house in the USA. I knew immediately teaching was something I could do. I then looked in the newspaper (believe it or not, that's how we learned about job openings back then), saw "Teach in Korea" and applied. I came home from that job with some good savings and a desire to return to Japan. It just worked out that way. I would gladly revisit living in Japan or Taiwan. They were completely different for me, but just for a more laid back work/life balance, I would choose Taiwan without hesitation. Today, I would rather take a vacation in Japan, but live in Taiwan. Remember, I'm a lot older and value different things at this point in life. @@theo7049

    Thank you for sharing this video! I visited Taiwan for the first time ever in November/December for my birthday in 2022 (I actually made a video about my trip), and I absolutely loved it so much, that I booked another holiday to Taiwan and was there again last week. I already made my decision that I want to move and live in Taiwan by the end of this year, however one of my biggest fears is the language barrier. While everyone was extremely friendly during both my times there, I found that most people did not speak English, and seemed to avoid me/weren't too keen on communicating unless specifically approached by myself. I know I can go and undertake Mandarin language courses to improve on that front, but I am quite worried about the first 6 or so months where I do not know any Mandarin.
    Subbed to your channel also, and very keen to follow more of your videos!

    I was born in the US, and my parents are Taiwanese. I decided to move to Taiwan in 2018. i'm glad that they stopped the outdoor mask mandate a few months ago - that was a bit annoying. I'd honestly rate the experience of living in Taiwan a 7/10. not gonna lie, majority of the buildings in Taipei are over 50 years old and buying a house is not affordable. some renters also refuse to rent to foreigners. Nevertheless, Taiwan has its charm, there's plenty of good food, cheap Boba, and kind people. I'll continue to live in Taiwan until the next step of my life.

    I've been here for almost 4 months already and I am making preparations to get married , I obviously live in Taipei City and its great ,always something new to see and new foods to taste ,I love the Japanese influence and the different cars I can spot , architecture and I like people's sense of fashion ,most taiwanese people are dressed casual but a nice combo ,amazing views of mountain ,rivers and sea .
    Pros don't need to be enumerated since there are so many so I'll offer some cons that are : low wages ,don't expect huge salaries when it comes to some jobs ,although the economy is great they simply don't offer competitive salaries you see in other countries , I personally believe workers are mistreated ,for example my fiance wanted to take a day off so we can get married legally and she is by law and on contract entitled to her holidays and they threatened that she may lose her job ( obviously very formally ) , not many job options for foreigners , taiwanese people are obsessed with air conditioning so you may be freezing in many places ( like me on the plane and my fiance at work ) , the smell coming from sewers can be unbearable sometimes ,in some districts they throw away food in the sewer and it just goes everywhere ,once you walk over a manhole you just don't try it a second time . Obviously there are many things to say but my opinion is that Taiwan is a great place to live if you don't mind the heat and the 7 month typhoon season

    Mia is highly articulate and that's amazing indeed.
    Europe is different from Taiwan in that just one or two hours away, most people would be in another country and in another language.
    Taiwan isn't like that for travel overseas is still a bit of luxury for most and infrequently. Being on an island places different constraints in term of travelling.
    Mia's other video shows her sad experience not being fully part of any culture. It's the fate of those with a bit ethnic mix or difference from the main stream community.
    I feel somehow sympathetic that she needs psychological help with her sense of identity.
    I hope she does accept her difference one way or another. Being double as it were is a good approach.
    Feeling part of a group isn't easy. Most have deep friendship formed while at school age. Adult age friendship is different.
    I know for a fact that most adult migrants as it were don't have much luck forming deep friendship with the locals. Even you marry a local and have kids, often there isn't deep local friendship either. I've been told by several who share this type of experience.
    One last suggestion is that being herself is as good as feeling belonged. It's part of the fate being dealt with.
    Please pass this comment to Mia if possible.

    When I was in the US Air Force back in early 1970's. I was temporarily stationed in Taiwan. From there I flew in and out of Viet Nam during the war being assigned to a C-130 aircraft. I thought the Country was very nice, but at the time did not get to travel around it that much. People there ere very friendly and spoke English. I will probably never get to go to that Country again.
    Take care.

    People are toxic and lack of compassion,this country is not that wonderful...
    People are losing their hope,even dying from stupid reason(like traffic,each year there're 3000 people dying because most Taiwanese don't follow the rules on road,careless about others' safety,like the Iraq family accident in recent days)
    Also,a lot people get out of country to live if they can,many more want out but don't have the money or ability to do it.
    But we don't want to change ,because "get used to it"is somthing that belongs to our ture nature,so a lot issues like traffic,job opportunity lower ,property rising extremly high,lack of problem sloving by government,will become worse and worse in the next few year.

    I was so surprised that the first girl was able to pronounce taiwan city names in such an accurate accent since she only moved to taiwan couple years ago. But then in the end, it turned out she’s half Taiwanese! Lol. Although kudos to her language skills as there are plenty of American Taiwanese kids who can barely speak mandarin. Europeans in general are well traveled because from some cities, you can literally drive an hour and be in another country. Taiwan is an island so it takes more effort to travel. With that said, most Taiwanese tend to just go to Japan and Thailand when they travel. I mean Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia is actually closer geographically.

    I have the same feeling like the first girl as I'm living in Germany. Many ppl are in their own circle, it's hard to break in, therefore my friends are mostly "foreigners" who live in Germany. Though ppl travel "abroad" kinda often, it is restricted to European countries, ppl are mostly very unfamiliar with Asia in general or they only have a general concept for these regions. But that's fair, cuz distance, languages...etc.. regardless I really hope that ppl can slowly be motivated to understand and differentiate our differences 😊
