Taiwan used to have the same garbadge collection system as North America 20+ years ago, but leaving garbage on the street would smell and take up public spaces , so in 1998 the current system is introduced to remove all the big garbage collection bins on the street, at the same time it helps encourage reducing household waste as Taiwan is a small island and there isn't a lot of space for landfill, which is why you may find that recycling program in Taiwan is much more sophisticated than North America.
Even Taiwanese people find some aspects of Taiwanese culture strange, and there are many activities they haven't participated in! But you have participated in more Taiwanese cultural activities than many Taiwanese people.😄😄👍👍
I've lived in taiwan for just over 20 years and absolutely love it. Kaohsiung in particular. So much great stuff to do and I don't mind the summer heat too! Keep up the great videos promoting Taiwan, it's a hidden gem.
Also during martial law period coast lines were mostly off limits which suppressed swimming cultural (among other worse suppressions) and of course lots of ghosts in the water.
@@jhc7727 it is prc won the civil war Taiwan is the roc fake government they literally think they are the legitimate government and have claims on all kinds of land in Asia if the Confederates fled to Cuba and setup a "country" over there no One would recognize them the USA would have already invaded the only reason the west recognizes Taiwan is because China is the biggest threat to the west. The only reason prc didn't take Taiwan in the 50s was cause of the Korean war
11:03 - The Love River has changed over the years. Back in the day, it REALLY REALLY REALLY smelled. Like it smelled BADDD! Now, it's actually nice to walk around. :-)
A few things I'd like to add: 1. Not everyone in Taiwan chases the garbage truck. Many buildings with Homeowners' Associations (HOAs) allow you to dispose of your trash at any time because you pay a fee. 2. I was born and raised in Taipei, where walking is a common activity. In Taipei, as in other cities in Taiwan, public transportation is widely available, making walking very common. While scooters are everywhere, many people rely solely on buses and MRTs, with walking also playing a role. 3. I lived in Taipei for 26 years until 16 years ago and don't recall it ever being a pedestrian nightmare. I was able to get around just fine. But in the U.S., forget about it 😂 4. While Taiwan does have many old houses and streets, it also boasts numerous top-notch places and buildings. For some reason, this video makes Taiwan appear more like a third-world country 😅. Taiwan has many leading features, such as an outstanding healthcare system and is home to TSMC, which is crucial to the global economy. For those curious to see more about this Freedom Island, I just came across this video that offers a different perspective: ruclips.net/video/twxiOB6V99c/видео.htmlsi=vzT5DhWZSmr_sWAy
1. Of course there are people who have maids and/or live in high-end modern condos, where there are designated trash collection spaces and services. But that doesn't apply to the majority of people on the island, which is what he is referring to. 2. Walking in Taipei is generally possible yet still unpleasant, considering the freaking sweltering weather. And you call those narrow green undivided areas sidewalks? LOL. If you have ever stepped out of that tiny self-centered city, the island itself is mostly unwalkable and ridiculously challenging and fatal to walk. Swamped with vehicles of all sizes, those pathetically narrow roads and streets are sometimes blocked by illegally parked cars and scooters and the freaking trash trucks as we see in this video. Sidewalks or what they call the "corridors" are packed with selfish food stalls and objects merchants that should have never been present there. Fatal accidents happen every other day, killing innocent passersby and scooter riders. Does the island ever care? Probably it will if and when one of the politicians get killed in a traffic accident, the probability of which is close to zero. 3. What part of the US are we referring to here? The Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls? 4. Well, so do some third-world countries. And their top-notch things are way less unreasonably priced. The island is not a third-world country. It is even worse. TSMC? Give me a break. What a cliché!
We have different eyes color compare to westen people so that Taiwanese don't need a sun glasses.🤣 By the way.I like your comparison and also think about it when traveling.
100% agree with your observations 🏊♂️🏊♀️🏊🎶🎶🚚 🧨🧨😎 Glad to see that the city is building sidewalks for pedestrians (and bike lanes for bikers, please!). 🙏
I didn’t learn to swim until I was 13 when I moved to the States because there are pools in every subdivision and I hung out there everyday during the summer. Public swimming pools in Taiwan are too crowded, it’s more like soaking instead of swimming. I’m not quite sure how sanitary it was back then. I think the sidewalk construction site is by the Kaohsiung High School.
Growing up in Taipei, was sent by parents to learn swimming at a class put on by a local elementary school with a pool. Can swim, well enough to swim in the ocean and surf.
常聽到台灣某某很好吃，後來看到有些遊客討厭臭豆腐、香菜
仔細想想有人愛有人不愛也沒錯，然後我聽到一個形容詞"多元"
我覺得很有道理，特別是在吃火鍋的時候，自己配、自己煮、醬料自己調
現在我會介紹說台灣飲食、宗教、文化很多元
台灣在日據時代，公學校學生都會游泳，臺灣有名的八七水災，我老爸就靠著游泳技能救了我的曾祖母（80幾歲），還有我的大姐（2歲多），我們幾個後來出世的兄弟姐妹也因應所就讀的高中、大學要求，學會遊泳。
不過臺灣的河流和灌溉用大圳河水湍 急，每年暑假，總會有一些愛游泳的學生溺斃。造成家中長輩會禁止孩子去河邊或海邊玩水。
謝謝您介紹臺灣給世界各地認識，臺灣不輸給南亞許多國家，人民熱情親善、且風景如畫，非常安全，是個寶島；歡迎來臺灣體驗生活。
有一點忘了 台灣人雖然不太戴眼鏡，但是太陽太大時 台灣人會撐傘 尤其最近這種 一下子大太陽一下子暴雨 幾乎人人都有準備雨傘
很好的影片，以外國人的好奇心，不帶偏見也不瞎吹捧，觀察台灣的一些特別風情。
可能氣候不同於加拿大，台灣大多悶熱天氣，多數人才會偏好騎車代步。我本人也倡導步行，只是濕熱下身體不舒服。

同意在陽光下要戴上太陽眼鏡，
保護眼睛非常重要❤
台灣通常都是戴帽子，乾脆點的還直接戴面罩
有些人會選用變色鏡片
臺灣溪流多，四面環海，以前沒要求，現在的國小,國中，高中，游泳課已納入必學課程
雖然也許我是錯的，事實上，台灣是一個宗教信仰很深的國家，而且非常有趣的是，因為台灣人有一種與生俱來的包容性，所以任何信仰在台灣都不會是引起衝突的原因，我想說的是，對於信仰，除了尊重，基本上台灣人會採取寧可信其有的態度，而農曆七月一整個月對台灣來說是鬼月，我們被告知在這段期間，所有戶外戲水都有可能被水鬼「抓交替」（從小長輩們都會要我們這個月遠離溪河，就算是人工的泳池也是不安全的），剛好這個鬼月通常都落在夏天，這個大家最想玩水的時間點，再加上真的曾有很多離奇的死亡事件，台灣人就會更避開了。
台灣主要推行的重要動力是［垃圾不落地］。❤地方乾淨。當然百姓也樂意配合政府的政策。所以就產生了一種和諧共處的氣氛。
很高興多年後還看到Wes生活在高雄❤是的沒錯,台灣有許多不足跟缺點,就像你所點出的,人行道不足,正因為希望台灣更好所以提出批評跟建議,希望政府跟人民可以去重視與改善
主要是台灣附近海域暗流多，加上從小長輩就一直告誡不要去玩水很危險，所以自然而然就不一定會游泳了。
現在小學都有游泳課，國高中亦然，不會游泳的很少了。
@@gracel00ee46 不是每一間中小學都有自己泳池的或是學校附近就有泳池，高中更沒有（至少中南部學校是這樣）所以不會游泳的還是很多的、且會游泳跟知道水域的水性是二件事。
@@jabcdefgg 我家小女兒學校是會帶到附近的游泳池上課，水泡久了，自然會亂游。大女兒唸私校，有游泳池，很會游。我自己大學時，游泳也是必修，考試沒過的話，要重修。我是台中人，非常反對到不熟悉的水域玩水，泡泡腳、潑水可以，下去玩就別開玩笑了。
@@gracel00ee46 了解，因為我們的沒有游泳課，所以都是自己帶去游泳池學，但也是學一下就沒學了😂
@@jabcdefgg 如果能學會，將來出國去海島玩水很方便！很多飯店也都有附設游泳池，也可以好好享用，有些還是露天的，游起來很舒服。墾丁夏都，自己房間門打開就直接下水，也是非常過癮！
人行道真的是一大問題…
而且，解決不了的，除非花大錢。
我覺得 是行為決定了城市發展 在大台北地區 除了步行街 路上車輛都比人多 我曾經擠身在一條路上 偌大的人行道一個人都沒有 結果車道就二線道 整條路都在塞車
土地面積就那丁點大。除非壓縮各位的生活環境
有時候只是道路設計不良罷了
不要拿土地面積當藉口
台灣的人行道比例真的超低
稍微做點功課就知道，台灣一大堆過時和意義不明的道路設計
甚至因為發生車禍就…
把斑馬線塗銷？？？
以及一堆無視交通規則的三寶
也歸因於相較其他國家而言
超級容易的考照制度
而民眾也普遍缺乏正確交通知識
有些人，真的不該讓他在路上開車
@@puddingkunhsym0322 最大的毛病就是現在規畫人行道的城市，可能原本是4線道加上機車專用道，然後壓迫原先的機車道，讓其變成二線或者四線道把外測道劃4分之一弄成機車道，壓迫機車道加上台灣人老毛病-違停，基本上機車要安全只能行駛外側道，但老一輩或者腦子卡到的總是覺得機車就該貼在最右側當壁虎，看到有機車正當行駛外側道就會路怒開始瘋狂按喇叭或者超車時開窗戶嗆聲，更誇張的還有會刻意逼車以及等紅綠燈會有自以為是孫悟空拿著金箍棒下車理論，還有待撞區直接突出到機車道的直線延伸範圍內，不只人行道有問題，台灣的道路規劃都是問題
跟瞳色有關係，越淺的瞳色對陽光越敏感。但確實大家都應該戴墨鏡以保護眼睛😂
這就是我們亞洲人還有非洲人的優勢，至少我們至少我們眼睛的瞳孔的顏色都是深色的不會跟白人一樣有綠色藍色黃色灰色瞳孔的顏色
1.以前老年人經歷農業時代，在他們在大太陽下耕作，沒在戴太陽眼鏡的。習慣問題。
2.台灣建築大部分有騎樓可以遮陽，如果太陽太大也有陽傘可以遮。
3.現在進入資訊時代，年紀大的人現在也知道紫外線對眼睛的影響，旅遊的時候比較會戴的比例比較高。
但工作時好像會戴的較少，除非經常面對陽光(例如開車)。
台灣國小到高中有游泳課 但是游泳課算在體育課裡面 有一些學校會因為校區沒有泳池 就比較少上游泳課（通常要去有泳池的學校借泳池）而且一個老師可能要教20幾個學生 一節課只有1小時 還要算同學換泳衣的時間....總之大家是學了 但是學不精 要特別去找游泳補習班才會學的好
而且有些人學會了以後 過了好多年沒有學了還是會忘記 總之就是台灣人會“玩水”
去水樂園、海水浴場 但是不一定會游泳
又來看衛斯理了，廢話不多說趕緊先按個讚
Cheers!
我是台灣人，我從小就被教育要學會游泳，所以受過訓練好幾年，會游泳!
事實上台灣的建築有很多利於行人的設計～店面前面預留走廊！問題是店家要放商品而住家又要停機車、腳踏車、另外租賃給攤販～造成行人的權利被剝奪！
店面前的走廊是商家的私人土地，政府並不是用收購的方式成為人行道。所以才會演變成商家不爽行人不滿的情況出現……
騎樓其實是用開放空間換取容積奬勵的一種，不能因私有而佔用。
有些地方沒有騎樓居民也不願意蓋人行道啊
這樣會讓他們家沒辦法停車餒XD
@@洪瑞真瑞真 有騎樓的設計，是台灣建築的特色。在我家鄉的老街還維持著這種街屋騎樓；只是以往的平坦不復見，大家爭先恐後地加高地面，使得原本平順好走的騎樓路，像是丘陵山路忽高忽低，障礙難行。
我家有騎樓但是也沒容積奬勵
因為本來就打算封死的
是因為老一輩的人當初在蓋的時候說如果下雨可以給人方便
躲個雨 穿個雨衣之類的
所以你要說這是騎樓嗎?
應該算但是也能說不算
我就算哪天圍死別人也不能說啥
感謝 Wes Davies 衛斯理 很中肯的說出 台灣 的 缺點
他只是講出台灣與國外不同之處，為什麼一定是缺點？
在還沒開始注重眼睛防曬的年代，進室內戴著墨鏡，會被認為是不是有不良企圖、匪類……店家容易心生警戒
現在一堆近視眼需要戴眼鏡，鏡片不是太差勁都有基礎防護抗UV400，或者選配配變色鏡片，比直接帶墨鏡更方便
你說的沒錯噢 台灣有太多要改善的,謝謝你
Even Taiwanese people find some aspects of Taiwanese culture strange, and there are many activities they haven't participated in! But you have participated in more Taiwanese cultural activities than many Taiwanese people.😄😄👍👍
I've lived in taiwan for just over 20 years and absolutely love it. Kaohsiung in particular. So much great stuff to do and I don't mind the summer heat too!
Keep up the great videos promoting Taiwan, it's a hidden gem.
喜歡影片的內容🥰🥰👏👏
Thanks sooo much for your support 😀 that’s very kind of you!
大概是因為每年都有學生因為放假去游泳而去世，導致大部分家長都會要求自己的小孩不要接近水域。也就沒動機去學習游泳。
Wouldn’t it be safer to know the basics?
小孩越來越少😅
還有算命的普遍都會叮嚀不要去海邊玩水（根本少年詛咒😂
因噎廢食
現在少子化更重視小孩，我快五十了我那個年代每個家庭父母生比較多，很難管到小孩，每年都有人玩水溺斃游泳死掉，我們這裡臨近高屏溪，小時候我也差點溺斃根本不敢跟父母講去玩水，我會游泳的還差點死了嚇死我了😂
我會游泳，基隆人，從小泡海水自然不怕水，但不會正確游泳方法，找教練一個禮拜學會自由式、蛙式、仰式正確姿勢。
我認識的住基隆的 幾乎都會水😂
不戴太陽眼鏡，不過會撐遮陽傘
台灣的火山地形其實比較多在台北附近，台灣主要還是板塊碰撞隆起
From different points of view, there are so interesting. Good to know opinions from different nationalities. 👍👍
❤❤❤
探索台灣高雄👍
可惜我也不會游泳😢
Can try in the pool to start :)
關於問會游泳的舉手那個部分，其實就是很多人都會但他們心裡覺得自己不會，所以沒舉😂
就跟問其他人會不會畫畫，通常都會聽到他們說不會，結果一看他們畫超級好🥹
看個人的習慣，我們家出門只要出太陽，一定都會戴上太陽眼鏡的，即使是我們的孩子，也會幫他們準備眼睛！！
因為台灣長輩認為水裡有隱藏在抓交替的水鬼，所以少下水為妙！
love your video😊
台灣很多海灘都很漂亮☺️ 不能遊泳 ，一是因為沒有救生員，另外是因為兇險的海岸 不適合遊泳🫡
我讀中學時是45年前學校在新北市就有游泳池，天氣熱時體育課就是游泳課，台灣會游泳的人，比你想像的更多。
定點置放垃圾我記得曾經實施過，那方式對於附近住家簡直是惡夢，如衛斯理說的會發臭流湯非常恐怖，尤其是夏天～
至於人行道問題，如果現有道路再擠出人行道，那麼勢必壓縮道路規模，畢竟現有道路範圍之外的土地都是私產要徵收嗎？民選出來的里、村、鎮、市 長有誰敢那麼做？
您有勇於探險的精神！祝福在台灣玩的愉快！
Wearing sun glasses is important for health of eyes, it's lovely to see real suggestions, thanks Wesley
白天開車我總是會載太陽眼鏡；晚上則是偏光鏡
In the end of the video is a good suggestion.
1.太陽眼鏡是保護眼睛，但白人比較需要，我們不太覺得困擾，而且大部份人都戴眼鏡，
2.不會游泳，我們小時父母覺得很危險，都不會讓我們學游泳
3.我們種族多，每個都有特別習俗，大家分享，還有很多我們可能都不知道的，需要您繼續探索。
Good to know! Maybe your eyes are stronger than ours haha
@@WesDaviestravel 不戴太陽眼鏡是因為太多人近視了吧
我覺得是不習慣戴太陽眼鏡. 有保護比較晚得白內障吧? 網路上可以查到UVA會造成眼睛白內障及黃斑部病變；UVB則容易導致眼翳或光角膜炎
@@a1dwork 我聽過類似discovery一個醫學家在說:白人眼球對光教敏感，陽光也對他們眼球造成較大傷害，而黃種人和黑人就不會有那麼大的感覺。所以外出的陽光不會讓我們無法忍受，而白人就會受不了，所以習慣戴。
瞳孔縮小就像相機縮光圈減光 極快且全自動 除非有青光眼等老化眼部疾病 而且大部分臺灣人都近視😅
Also during martial law period coast lines were mostly off limits which suppressed swimming cultural (among other worse suppressions) and of course lots of ghosts in the water.
小時候父母忙著工作，沒有週休二日，唯一的休假日可能想就近休息，不會常常往戶外走，所以從小沒有親近大自然、水域、泳池，所以也不會特別去學游泳⋯以前的小學也沒有游泳課⋯
苦命人工作都沒啥時間，一到泳池又人山人海😅

我們不戴太陽眼鏡的原因是90%的人口都是大近視！就算有隱型眼鏡，當你不是天天戴隱形眼鏡時要把近視眼鏡換來換去邊太陽眼鏡真的是很麻煩的事，然後別忘台灣人有多懶！
衛斯理敏銳的觀察跟對台灣體貼的尊重 令人印象深刻 謝謝你
我是讀萬巒國中和潮州高中，這兩所學校都有游泳池，而且在我就讀時都有規定沒有通過游泳課不能拿畢業證書，所以那些愛裝病的女生，在畢業後的暑假還要回學校補考游泳
關於太陽眼鏡 真的是這樣😂
Any ideas why that is?
@@WesDaviestravel 可能在大部份人想法太陽眼鏡更偏向於造型或飾品😎
你看過動物戴『太陽眼鏡』嗎？
1)眼睛直視太陽才會有傷害！可又有誰會這樣作？
2)長期、長時間待在『不透光』空間，對眼睛也是會傷害！
3)無論是人或動物，都需要適宜陽光斜照射眼睛。
4)人或動物一輩子不戴太陽眼鏡，可曾有對眼睛傷害過？
5)台灣小孩近視多戴近視眼鏡，再多戴支太陽眼鏡是累贅！
6)太陽眼鏡在晚上，更是無用武之地、更是累贅！
7)瞎子戴墨鏡，這是窠臼觀念(過往才有、現已無此觀念)

@@WesDaviestravel 因為亞洲人的黑眼珠色素深，比較能抵抗太陽光線，歐美人的眼珠顏色較淺，對光線會比較敏感，眼睛受到陽光的傷害會比黑眼珠更大，所以歐美人從小習慣戴太陽眼鏡，就跟膚色一樣，白色皮膚比黃色皮膚更容易晒傷。

我很想戴太陽眼鏡，但是我有點戽斗鼻子又塌，每次出門都被朋友笑像李炳輝或奧提斯，索性就不戴了😂話說西方人的臉型很適合戴太陽眼鏡，我覺得好不好看才是決定戴太陽眼鏡的因素
1. 台灣西海岸基本是適合游泳的沙灘，但本質上還是多數台灣人是農耕大陸文化，而非海島海洋文化。以為台灣是個海島就誤以為台灣屬於海洋文明其實不太對。
2. 針對大馬路的中南部，理論上有足夠空間縮減車道改成人行道，配合捷運，應該能讓多數市民少開車多走路或改搭捷運、騎Ubike，期待未來慢慢改善。
3. 兩輪的機車比較適合中低緯度國家使用，高緯度下雪時很容易打滑發生交通事故。
That’s super true, scooters wouldn’t do well in snow I don’t think 🤔
我小時候游泳有分玩水的游泳跟真的游泳，玩水的游泳是只要你在水裡能不碰地的動就算會了，真的游泳是要會自由式或仰式之類的要會換氣能一次游25公尺以上才會游泳，如果是大人問通常都是問真的游泳所以有人會說不會。

首先，我自己會游泳，而且曾受過長泳訓練能游1500m，不過現在已經中年體力衰退僅剩50m的能力😂，至於低齡兒童會游泳人數偏少的問題，台灣目前仍有華人習慣對小孩過度保護的文化，所以低齡小孩不會游泳很常見，但大多在小學時期7歲左右會讓小孩參加泳訓，在安全的泳池環境下訓練游泳技能。
至於太陽眼鏡的習慣…😅，您說的很正確，台灣人尤其是南部人該適應戴太陽眼鏡的習慣了，現在的日照真的眩目至極，對眼睛傷害頗大😅

其實不是台灣游泳地點少的問題..最大的原因 是大多數的小孩 從小被培養成讀書及學習..有了空閒時間父母也是盡量地陪孩子或者帶孩子出門遊玩...不會有時間去學習游泳...其實游泳不難學..只要不怕水.會游泳只需要一個星期....主要是不怕水.玩水這個階段...我大約7歲在俱樂部游泳..12歲時家長才放心讓自已獨自一人去公立的公共泳池.這時候大多國中都有標準泳池..會游泳的就會跟不會游泳的切割開了............很多小時後就會游泳的就會進了國中的校隊..不會游泳的也不會在對游泳感興趣
住台中市海線地區76歲了，我會游泳，但這裡泳池太少，海邊也無法游泳。政府應推廣一鄉鎮一個游泳池，不管公營或私營都可以，便於百姓用。
游泳實在是太難了，我根本學不會，然後我就放棄了
台灣有很長一段時間處在戒嚴期的海禁，海灘都有軍人防守，只有固定且短暫的開放時間。

我會游泳，而且也是自學的，小時候很愛玩水。
墨鏡真的是不太帶，太陽大會戴帽子帶傘遮著，天氣熱帶眼鏡也不舒服而且戴久鼻樑會痛，台灣有很多騎樓可以遮陽，騎摩托車帶安全帽外罩也有抗U V
我其實覺得「炸寒單」這個台灣傳統民俗的儀式，比「蜂炮」更刺激、危險
因為蜂炮還允許人能戴安全帽、防火防撞的衣物；但炸寒單必須裸上半身，還要被人扛著被正在燃燒爆發的鞭炮砸😱
PS 炸寒單我記得是能報名參加「被炸的」，也許衛斯理可以去參加看看😆
謝謝你說我們台灣是一個國家😊
因為台灣海域暗流很多，西子灣被捲走很多人，我小時候還親眼看過一個被抬上來的七孔流血。墾丁也是。然後在溪水玩的通常溺斃都是會游泳的。每到夏天就很多小朋友因為這樣而不幸身亡。所以學校每次暑假都會有宣傳手冊。
love river used to be a stinking sewer 50 years. I lived near Shoushan and never enjoy so much as you .

Growing up in Taipei, was sent by parents to learn swimming at a class put on by a local elementary school with a pool. Can swim, well enough to swim in the ocean and surf.
台灣夏天熱，每年都會有人去溪流玩，以前有那麼幾年，每年都發生數起不幸事件。
所以到了夏天，小孩要出門玩時，家長都會特別叮嚀小孩，就是不可以去游泳~
我在加拿大溫哥華長大。5歲就被爸媽送去學游泳。同學也幾乎都會游泳。15歲回台灣學中文。發現會游泳的同學真的非常少。兩邊同學真的差異非常大。
我會游泳，但是是為了要去普吉島游泳才學得😂😂並不想在台灣的沿海游泳😮
不會游泳可能跟城市中比較少親水空間也有關，還有就是城市中的河水沒有乾淨到能讓人產生下水的慾望😂
山上的溪流很乾淨，但能安全區域其實不大還很分散，很長一條河流可能會被切割成好幾個段落
再來就是颱風，每年颱風都會讓山上的河流樣貌改變，像之前在烏來有找到水超清澈也很溫和的溪，結果隔年再去直接變超級湍急的泥巴河
可能綜合加起來，就變成比較少能接觸到游泳池以外水域的機會，就沒有養成游泳的興趣或習慣？🤔
1. 如影片所說，沙灘少，能安全戲水的沙灘更少。
2. 台灣河川湍急短促，上游下雨，下游很快就溪水暴漲，每年都有在河川戲水死亡案例。
3. 台灣河川湍急短促，降雨豐富但留不住水，水資源珍貴，加上人口稠密，所以佔地耗水的游泳池也不多。
