Been to Taiwan maybe 4 times and would go back in a heartbeat just for the food, beautiful sceneries and the friendly people and great service culture.
Could you possibly tell me if you need cash or card in Taiwan? I’m planning to do a 2 day trip, how much cash would you think for food? I was thinking maybe $500 for a 2 day trip
Agree! I’ve been to Taiwan twice this year and I am planning to go there again by early 2024. Taiwan might be a so-so for other people but for me it’s been absolutely amazing!
Your heartfelt monologue about your parents and your reflection on Taiwan’s and your own family history brought tears to my eyes. Wasn’t expecting this watching about budget travel in Taipei. Makes me miss home. I’m also a Taiwanese immigrant to the US
Thank you for this. Lived in Taiwan over a decade ago, and you getting emotional made me emotional. It's so easy to get caught up in that beautiful city ❤
I was in Taiwan two months ago and had a fantastic time. I would love to go back again. The Taiwanese are very friendly people and orderly. Taiwan reminds me of Japan.
@@zillsburyy1I went to Japan a year ago and loved it, can't wait to go back, so lived up to its hype. Haven't been to Taiwan yet but looks very interesting.
Last time I've been to Taipei was almost a decade ago. But I'm going back to visit in January 2024! This time, I'm doing some research and came across this video, which definitely sparked ideas as I build my itinerary because it's practical, informative, and no nonsense.
Josh&Lisa, this is one of your best and most informative vlogs. I just have one wish that you listed the sights and restaurants in the description, so we can find them.
noted, thanks for the feedback! we've been including the locations within the video, but we can see how that would be helpful in the description. we just added a map with all the links saved to the places we visited in the description :)
I just got back home from Taiwan and the separation anxiety is kicking so bad. Taiwan is so beautiful. The people there are so warm and very helpful despite the language barrier. I love that elderly people are still accepted for work with no judgement. The transporation system was a breeze! So clean and safe. I fell in love with Taiwan and I'm coming back soon.🥹🥹🥹 Also, just like you, I felt so emotional the moment we got at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall. The place was so solemn and full of stories in silence. My favorite so far.
This is the best vlog in a long time, if not the best I've seen from you two. Funny, moving, informative, so satisfying (food market lover here), and also the most inspirational one yet. I almost cried when you said your goal was to give away a trip because all you want is to inspire people to travel. Please know that you have done far more for us already. Your past Hawaii vlogs are a reason why my trip went smooth-sailing this past summer. Then your credit card churning videos made my trip to Bali possible this past February, meaning just 8 months after I returned from Hawaii. I am already planning my next trip and I am again taking notes from your videos. You two are not just inspiring us to travel. You're literally making our travel dreams come true. I am subscribed, I love you both, and I am super grateful for all you continue to do :)
this means a lot to us, truly. we never quite know how much of an impact our videos make, so we appreciate you letting us know. we really do hope and believe that every single person deserves a chance to travel once in their lifetime. so, so happy to hear about your trip to Hawai'i and Bali! safe and happy travels!
You two are such a lovely, positive beautiful couple! My son and I watched this to prepare for our eventual trip to Taiwan, and now we want to watch all your other videos.
I’ve been to Taiwan many times. I always come back with a full wallet and the happiest of memories. Not one bad experience in living there for over 18 months.
I've never been to Taiwan but I feel like I'm already in Taiwan just by watching you guys. Thanks so much and I wish you all the best this life has to offer 🎉❤😊
This video is a year old and you're probably never going to see this. I just started watching your videos while im working at my computer all day, and just wanted to say, you guys are so wholesome and this video made me cry. I have a 97 year old Japanese Oba-San who lived most of her young adult life on an island in Japan and Ive never asked her about her life, I dont know why. I am going to spend a weekend with her and ask her a million questions because of yall. Keep doing awesome things an having amazing adventures together
I am looking to visit Taipei and came across your channel. I really enjoyed your content. It was like a watching friends holiday video. Nothing annoying, pretentious & full of useless information like most of the travel vlogs in here. I cannot believe I watched the entire hour and had so much fun. I will definitely follow all of your food recommendations and tips. Thanks for creating this helpful and enjoyable video and am so excited now for my trip!!!
My wife and I just got back from Taipei. Her family is from Taiwan also. The food was so good! I was worried that you guys weren’t going to try 臭豆腐 (Chòu dòufu) lol. I had both the fried version and the soup version with blood cake and the the soup version in my opinion was so much tastier. Awesome video guys, made me miss Taiwan!
Josh, the little pieces of woods they dropped on the ground of temple ( 21:30) is called “ Jiao-bei”, it’s used in pairs and it’s the way people seek guidance from the gods.
Thank you Lisa & Josh, this was nice video of Taipei and you did it all for $100/day ... wow!!! I felt very emotional along with Lisa recounting to that memorial coinciding with her mother being born, the lighting of the lantern was also lovely, the waterfall, the food, the climb up Elephant Mountain ... thank you for giving us a glimpse of Taiwanese life. I have traveled quite a bit but never to Asia. I hope you get to fullfill your wish to give away a trip to someone deserving, someone who has never traveled outside of their city🙏
Just want to say I watched this video when you released it last year and it inspired me to visit Taiwan. I'm currently sat drinking coffee in Taipei rewatching to get myself pumped to visit Shifen and Jiufen tomorrow, then im heading down to Toroko NP. Thanks guys!
Divinity rods/blocks. They are deciphered by the position and contact between the rods/blocks by a reader/or monk at the temple. Just like the dropping of a divinity stick out of a bundled amount in a holder. Those sticks have a number and are connected to a proverb that is already set to be read and understood according to the question asked as one is shaking the container for the stick to fall out of. Questions being asked are always in the form of a request for knowledge internally to self. 🙏
24:04 I'm currently planning my trip to Taiwan and just came across your channel. As someone who, like you, is a child of migrants who experienced terrible things in South Asia, this part really resonated with me. Thank you for expressing those emotions so beautifully 🥹
Glad you got out of the city. Very nice video. I’ve never considered Taipei before, but after seeing your video I have added to my list to visit. Thank you for showing us around.
Going to Taiwan for 4 months to live later this month. I have been doing some research, the crescent shaped wood is for making a wish to the love god and then you throw the three onto the floor. the side that lands up is the answer to your wish(if it will come true, if you need to wait, or if you already know the answer). I am super excited to go and thanks for the well recorded video
Having just discovered your channel, I am loving every moment of it. The food tours are unique, and I admire Josh's optimism when things do not go well. And I really appreciate the daily budget recap. Lisa, I enjoyed your wanting to know your mom's take on what happened when she was young; those conversations are priceless. I am recuperating from colon surgery at home, and you all are chasing away my boredom.
Lisa, thank you for sharing such a beautiful and vulnerable moment at 23:20. My father came from Hong Kong in the early 50's and I too wish I had asked more about his childhood and life before, I'm glad you still have the opportunity to ask your mother questions about her life.
We have enjoyed your adventures so so very much. Definitely our favorite Vlogers. Watched them ALL. True story. In September we are also walking the Camino (Lisban to Santiago) mostly for personal self reflection. Both of your walks have been an amazing, welcome and insightful look at the road ahead. I was surprised no one mentioned Will Arnett in the Q&A "look alike / remind me of " question. Ok, maybe not twins but, that enjoyable quirkiness all the same. Thanks again! A real pleasure to enjoy the adventures and all the skills / work you both put into your videos! Grateful. Who's vlogs do you follow? We know a couple as there have been some crossed vlogs we watched. Take care and all our best, Mike and Betty, Vancouver Canada.
hi Mike and Betty! thank you for the kind words and watching ALL of our videos! :) what an incredible journey Lisbon to Santiago will be! And we can definitely see the Will Arnett tie :) Buen Camino!
what a really fun video, you guys! i had a lot of fun watching this video in particular because my family and I just returned from Taipei about a month ago, and we did a lot of same things y'all did! thanks for sharing, thanks for documenting so well, thanks for letting some of us re-live our Taiwan experiences.
Really appreciate how you two travel. Doing some research for my upcoming trip to Taiwan. Taking my family to visit family but it is only my third visit, including being born there. Lisa's experience resonates with me. I am Taiwanese-American but my parent from Taiwan has passed. Most of my knowledge of Taiwan is academic. This trip is for a significant birthday and feeling all the emotions. Thanks for sharing your experience and itinerary!
24:10 what a lovely reminder! I definitely want to do this with my grandma as well. She's my last grandparent alive and I don't want to miss out on all the stories she has to share.
I may be moving to Taiwan soon. This video gives me a great idea of what to expect, and covers so much more ground than I did when I previously visited Taiwan. Thanks, y'all!
My boyfriend and I just started watching your videos and we love how genuine you two are. We always bicker when we go out and we aspire to be you as a couple whenever we travel. ❤ We hope that your wishes come true and that you guys never change. All the best!
:) thanks, guys! and don't worry, even on our best of travel days--we bicker too! so many decisions, thoughts, things happening all the time while traveling, it's always bound to happen. happy travels, you two :)
Delightful wonderful vid featuring Lisa and Josh spreadin the flavor of Taiwan literally out of the screen , i never been to Taiwan but Lisa and Josh sure making me give that a serious consideration , Thank You😅
You guys did an amazing job with this video! I often find people try too hard and I find it annoying but you both just seem so genuine and likeable. You went to just about every place I went on my trip a few years ago. Glad you had a good time!
Not sure if anyone has explained the wooden slices in the temple, but it’s called “Bua Buai” in taiwanese. Basically it is to ask the deity a question and depending on how the faces of the wooden pieces land, it will have a yes/no/unknown answer. It is also used to communicate with the spiritual realm. So to get into it deeper, a “yes” or “ji buai” is when the one of the two piece has one face up and the other piece is the opposite face. A “no” or “bo buai” is both sides are the same. And unknown is when one lands in a weird position like up right on the wedge. Hope that helps haha. Also the custard cake thing is “Che lun bing” or wheel cake. 🙂 there’s a meaning behind the cake as well but I can’t think of it at the top of my head at the moment. 😄
I have never been around much. I wish I could have an opportunity to do so one day. I love seeing you both going around and being humble in sharing your experiences. I love the energy you both have for each other. I wish I could have someone to travel like this one day. Again, thank you for sharing this with us-much love.
Really enjoyed your Taipei video. My family and I just returned from a short three day and a bit more stay in Taipei. Wish I had seen your video before our trip! I wasn’t sure if we would be able to withstand the weather and sightsee so much. We left with definitely the desire to go back! Always more food to try and places to see! Good luck with the channel!
Planning a trip to Taiwan next month. I've covered the itinerary but I wanted to know the food that I must try. Josh and Lisa again did not disappoint me.
Welcome to Taipei, Taiwan to shows those amazing places on the streets in Southeast Asia one year ago in great joy & peace Mr. Josh & Miss Lisa for this remarkable video 2024❤❤❤
Lisa and JOSH, I just want you to know that this is the episode that was the reason behind my husband and I trip to Taiwan us being able to do what you did is a success 🎉we followed our dreams and went there had you not did this we wouldn’t have known ❤
Love Taipei so much! Amazing place to keep things affordable while enjoying some top notch food, attractions, nature, etc 🙂 Great of you guys to sift through everything to give us some of the best recommendations!
I spent some time living in Taiwan and I absolutely love it. This is the best vlog I've seen that shows all the different sides of Taipei!! Love it, can't wait to go back:)
Your travel advice is always so valuable! Speaking of travel gear, have you heard about the new V4 of the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane? It's making waves in the travel community, and I thought you might find it interesting for your future trips.
Great video! Taiwanese here (but living in California for the past 20+ years). You hit all the great and fun spots that I would also hit whenever I go home. I was surprised that Lisa had never tried the "car wheel" cakes though. Maybe you have never lived in Taiwan for an extended period of time. They are literally everywhere including at night markets. Those and the "pepper buns" are two of the things I miss most and my "must-eat" items whenever I go home to visit. Watching you enjoy the food made me want to go back soon; can't wait!
Aloha from Hawaii! Thank you for this video. We will be going to Taiwan in October since we will be disembarking from our cruise ship in Taipei. We will be exploring our own so this video was super helpful. Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more great videos from you both. Mahalo!
aloha dora! thank you for the message! so excited you will get to visit Taiwan! Had no idea there were cruises that stoped in Taipei--that sounds awesome :)
Back home for almost 2 months now. And looking for tickets to go back to Taiwan in December, I love it, I need it. The people are great, the scenery stunning and the food is the absolute best. Taiwan is such a great place to visit, If yu have the opportunity to visit: don't let it pass.
Wonderful video! ❤🎉 I missed the food so much. To the memorial park, I also got sentimental. My family also never talk about this. Back then it was more like, it is a way to protect you if you don’t know about this… truly sad. 😢
Thank you so much for this video. Our family moved to Canada when we were young, and we are planning a trip to Taiwan this fall. I have never been to the lantern town outside of Taipei---so thank you for sharing this part of the trip for us. We have also never climbed the mountain to get the city view. We can't wait to visit again!!
Love your video!! Thanks for sharing your experience 😊 I’m planning my first solo trip for my bday in a few months n very nervous but excited. My panic mode when Josh said they got lost but loved his response to it😊
Thoroughly enjoyed your video, one of the best I have watched. We are going to Taiwan in August. So looking forward to it and your video has been a great help in our planning. Thank you 🙏
Another Amazing Episode👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉 To be honest, I am a full time UE food delivery rider in Taipei since 2020 and I am from Taipei 100% MIT & I have to admit it I still get lost IN this night market, the other night markets I have no issues at all…
Been to Taiwan maybe 4 times and would go back in a heartbeat just for the food, beautiful sceneries and the friendly people and great service culture.
Couldn't agree more!
Hello 7-11! YUM!!!
I am going there in December for the first time from Las Vegas 🎉
Could you possibly tell me if you need cash or card in Taiwan? I’m planning to do a 2 day trip, how much cash would you think for food? I was thinking maybe $500 for a 2 day trip

Love your video!! I’m American Taiwanese and I also got a bit emotional when Lisa talked about her dad and mom. I really enjoyed you guys. 加油❤
ah, yes! 加油! thank you for watching!!! ❤️
Thank you for this. Lived in Taiwan over a decade ago, and you getting emotional made me emotional. It's so easy to get caught up in that beautiful city ❤
it's an incredible place ❤️
Over 53 glorious minutes of Taiwan! Loved the variety you showcased. It makes me want to go back!!
thanks for watching all 53 minutes of it! ☺️ we want to go back soon too!
I was in Taiwan two months ago and had a fantastic time. I would love to go back again. The Taiwanese are very friendly people and orderly. Taiwan reminds me of Japan.
japan is overrated
Taiwan = Japan minus the bad weather ,minus terrible road traffic , minus ugly buildings
Hi thanks for your comment. Can you recommend a guide? Thanks
Really? I’m going,don’t really care about mainland China.
@@zillsburyy1I went to Japan a year ago and loved it, can't wait to go back, so lived up to its hype. Haven't been to Taiwan yet but looks very interesting.

Yep! My third trip is coming up. The people and country are amazing!
I think Taiwan may be at the top of my travel list now, thanks to this video. Looks like airfare is a bit more reasonable in September.
so glad to hear! Taiwan is such a special place!
I love that you guys don't mind about the video, and you keep the real pace of your travel, not a heavily edited pace for vlogging.
Your lantern release was beautiful and meaningful! Thank you for sharing that.

awesome! had to save the best for last 😂 we love the fried, crispy version. hope you had a great trip!
Josh, the little pieces of woods they dropped on the ground of temple ( 21:30) is called “ Jiao-bei”, it’s used in pairs and it’s the way people seek guidance from the gods.

Welcome to Taipei, Taiwan to shows those amazing places on the streets in Southeast Asia one year ago in great joy & peace Mr. Josh & Miss Lisa for this remarkable video 2024❤❤❤
Love Taipei! Can't wait to visit Taichung & Tainan soon! Great Taipei video! Thanks for sharing :)
Lisa and JOSH, I just want you to know that this is the episode that was the reason behind my husband and I trip to Taiwan us being able to do what you did is a success 🎉we followed our dreams and went there had you not did this we wouldn’t have known ❤
Had to watch it again! Brought absolute joy to my eyes that we got to experience some of what you did. 🎉 53:19
Oh! So jealous! You guys was eating all the time! Thank you ! Good video!
I had no interest in going to Taiwan, idk it was just never on the radar. But damn, you two have sold it, this place looks incredible.
So glad!! we can't wait to go back-- Taiwan is an amazing place.
Thank you for the detailed video! I think I can use this video as reference for my next trip in Taipei (esp. for the food)
Glad it was helpful!
Love Taipei so much! Amazing place to keep things affordable while enjoying some top notch food, attractions, nature, etc 🙂 Great of you guys to sift through everything to give us some of the best recommendations!
We couldn’t agree more! Such a beautiful place
I am so happy i stumbled upon this Taiwan vlog. Incredibly done, can't wait to see all your other videos 😊 p.s just added Taiwan to my bucket list!
watched the whole video. You did miss yong kang street with some cool eateries and shop. I didnt go to shifen and that looked good. Great video.
I spent some time living in Taiwan and I absolutely love it. This is the best vlog I've seen that shows all the different sides of Taipei!! Love it, can't wait to go back:)
I just went there for a few days and absolutely loved it ❤. The people are lovely and very kind. The toilets are clean! 🤣.
Really love Lisa. She is so sweet. Josh is polite and good manners. Best wishes to both of you.
Well now look where I have been, thanks to you two! Wow! Superb video, loved every minute of it. Thank you.
my new favorite travel vloggers :) thank you so much for sharing your experiences during your trips!
The 'wooden chips' are called jiaobei (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaobei). Yes you can ask questions and use these blocks to find answers.
We are loving this 3 day series!!! . We are loving this 3 day series!!! .
thanks so much for watching!! we're having a great time creating these :) more to come!
Your travel advice is always so valuable! Speaking of travel gear, have you heard about the new V4 of the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane? It's making waves in the travel community, and I thought you might find it interesting for your future trips.
Great video! Taiwanese here (but living in California for the past 20+ years). You hit all the great and fun spots that I would also hit whenever I go home. I was surprised that Lisa had never tried the "car wheel" cakes though. Maybe you have never lived in Taiwan for an extended period of time. They are literally everywhere including at night markets. Those and the "pepper buns" are two of the things I miss most and my "must-eat" items whenever I go home to visit. Watching you enjoy the food made me want to go back soon; can't wait!
That was such a wholesome video! Appreciate Josh for being so curious of the culture 😊
Great vlog. Thanks for taking the time to share it.
Aloha from Hawaii! Thank you for this video. We will be going to Taiwan in October since we will be disembarking from our cruise ship in Taipei. We will be exploring our own so this video was super helpful. Subscribed to your channel and looking forward to more great videos from you both. Mahalo!
aloha dora! thank you for the message! so excited you will get to visit Taiwan! Had no idea there were cruises that stoped in Taipei--that sounds awesome :)
Loved the video.
So glad! Thank you!
Just WOW! AMAZING!!!
Planning Korea and Taiwan trip so need to see where to go here....
Back home for almost 2 months now. And looking for tickets to go back to Taiwan in December, I love it, I need it. The people are great, the scenery stunning and the food is the absolute best. Taiwan is such a great place to visit, If yu have the opportunity to visit: don't let it pass.
couldn't agree more! :)
Great video guys. Enjoyed it. We will be in Taipei in just over a month for a few days on our way to Europe.
Wonderful video! ❤🎉
I missed the food so much. To the memorial park, I also got sentimental. My family also never talk about this. Back then it was more like, it is a way to protect you if you don’t know about this… truly sad. 😢
Thank you for watching and for sharing as well. We understand this so well now and hope to be able to be more open with our families ❤️
Nice video Lisa and John - keep up the great work.
Love 9 & 10 point!! Must do the wishing lantern and I just love that whole vibe! ❤
Thank you so much for this video. Our family moved to Canada when we were young, and we are planning a trip to Taiwan this fall. I have never been to the lantern town outside of Taipei---so thank you for sharing this part of the trip for us. We have also never climbed the mountain to get the city view. We can't wait to visit again!!
Oh my god, this blog is my first from you guys and its been fun watching this with you!! Got a new subscriber here! ❤

Thoroughly enjoyed your video, one of the best I have watched. We are going to Taiwan in August. So looking forward to it and your video has been a great help in our planning. Thank you 🙏
Another Amazing Episode👍👍👍🎉🎉🎉
To be honest, I am a full time UE food delivery rider in Taipei since 2020 and I am from Taipei 100% MIT & I have to admit it I still get lost IN this night market, the other night markets I have no issues at all…
