- Hey guys, welcome back :) This week I decided to compare and contract the cost of living between Taiwan and the USA! Some of these numbers will vary depending on many variables. All prices are already converted to USD. I hope this helps! Feel free to leave questions down below. A HUGE THANK YOU TO YOU ALL FOR THE CONSTANT SUPPORT! We're headed to 1k subscribers this week!!! Thank you ❤️

Welcome 😊
This is the one 👏🏾👏🏾 such a good video! I just applied with Teach Taiwan and I’m waiting to hear back, but this gives me a good idea of what to expect financially. Thank you as always!
Congrats that’s awesome! Keep me posted & let them know I sent you. 🙂 thank you for your support always 💕
@@NneniaYasmeen thank you so much! I will definitely keep you updated!
Great video Nnene.. So informative :)
Thank you Nombali 💕
Very informative and splendid content.
Much appreciated!
Notification gang 😍😍🥰
Ok!! You're the best ☺
I love when someone talking good about Taiwan due am from Africa but love Taiwan because of democracy
In case you live in southern Taiwan, the cost is cheaper than you live in northern Taiwan.
I am earning money in USD, and will be in Taiwan for 2 years, in less than two weeks, I don’t pay rent my company covers that, I plan to save so much. My rent currently $1500. I am an African lady also, I hope to meet you. 😁😁
That's awesome and such a great deal! Where about the island are you?
👍🏻Great video! I'm thinking of moving to Taiwan in the future and this helps a lot. Was it difficult getting a scooter license? I don't really know how to read Chinese. Looking forward to seeing more videos. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you & getting a license wasn't difficult. Most places have English translations if you need to read something. 🙂
Thanks for the video, it's very insightful. Been here for a little over a year but I'm struggling with my hair😓😓. I noticed yours is always on point. Where do you buy your hair products and do you do you own hair?
Thank you!! Yes, I do my own. I brought a lot from home but will re-up through Amazon. It's a bit pricey though. There's a lady in Taipei that sells natural hair products too. IG is @blackgirlmagicsuppliestaipei!
Good day your videos have been very helpful, and I have a lot of questions, I will love to be in Taiwan by 2022 but I want to make sure I know What am getting myself into thank you
Hi I'm glad they've been helpful!
Thanks. I am thinking of exploring Asia starting with Thailand.
Awesome!! Enjoy yourself :)

Can you make video of what it is like making friends in Taiwan?
Thank you for being so specific!
9:43 Does your husband do these videos with you sometimes?
Thank you for watching! He's been in a few of them but not usually.
Thats wild rent is 400, Im a college kid and pay waaaaay more for a crusty shack T_T you are amazing! I've been on the fence about moving to Taiwan because of a couple of reasons, one being HAIR! do you ship your hair products from the states over? Are there black salons? I only found one on google lmao. Love your videos sis you look great
Hi, there are no black salons in Taiwan. There are hair braiders here. I brought a lot of hair products here with me but you can order them from Amazon. There's also a lady out here that sells black hair care products. Thank you for watching!!
Dang you gonna have me ready to move there...
You should do it!
I’m almost foaming at the mouth at these prices, the idea of moving out of the US is becoming more and more appealing every day and the cost of living is hardly deterring me. I live in California so I’m sure you could imagine how much I pay for these things 💀
I FELT THAT! I've been back in the states since last summer and the prices are insaneeee. I wouldn't be surprised if I make the move again one day too! Lol.
thank you for this, it was very insightful. if you can make a video on how to find apartments and stuff that would be great or online shopping, do they have something similar to amazon or you know stuff like that.
Thanks for the idea! Amazon ships to Taiwan.
We typically shop from momo, pchome, etmall etc. They send items directly to your home or convenience stores (Taiwan has high density of convenience stores, there is always one around the corner :-) ). In some urban areas you can even receive items in 6 or 12 hours.
@bancolin1005 stop making me more excited to visit!! It’s such a shame the embassy isn’t allowing tourists. I can’t wait till they open.
@@bancolin1005 Thank you!
@@NneniaYasmeen what about finding apartments, are there websites we could visit for those?
Taiwan is a beautiful country. ♥️🇹🇼🇹🇼🇹🇼
Yes, I agree.
Shopping local I noticed is way better as far as price. Have you done an apartment tour yet?
Yes I agree it is and nope but it’s on the way! 1k & I’ll drop it. Lol
@@NneniaYasmeen nice
Rent 400 USD is kinda cheap I'd say. My apartment in Taichung is about 30K(1000 USD) a month and it's about the average for a 2 bedroom one( Taiwanese size,not American size). My niece who rents a single studio( no kitchen) costs 11000 NTD which is about 350 already without bills..
In Taipei, the capital, the average rent for a single room without kitchen is around 700 USD-800 USD. If you want a brand new two bedroom apartment in Taipei, I have a friend from China who used to work here and he had to pay 90000( 3000 USD) per month back in 2019.
I also think your phone bill seems lower than average as well, most of the people around me pay around 20-30, and the wifi is around 20-30 but years ago our wifi was also like above 504 since it's like a basic here, you can eve get wifi in public so easily...
You may have said this in another video, but, did you use an agency to find your job or did you find a job on your own? I’m currently looking. (I’m new here 😂)
Haha no worries & welcome 🙂 I went through a recruiting agency called Teach Taiwan!
A friend of mine is going to visit in Taiwan. He is a US retired army veteran so please let me know how to reach you. I am from Taiwan but live in USA.
thanks for these useful informations . i would like to ask you about applying for visa considering that im from third world so if i have an invitation from taiwanees friend , can i get it easily , thanks again.
Glad it's been helpful! Unfortunately, I can'r give you advice on that. As far as I know you can get a working visa from working as a teacher or student visa if you go to school.
I was wondering how things are in Taiwan right now with the pandemic. Are schools open and can you teach face to face?
Hi I just uploaded a video with some updates about the pandemic here. Schools are currently closed but I believe are in the process of being reopened soon.
20 bucks for an ER visit.... Last time I was at the ER here in america the bill was $6000. Still $600 after insurance. Unreal.
😍🏆
❤❤❤
I didn’t know it was so inexpensive in Taiwan
Yes compared to the US I’d say it is!
It is still expensive especially if you buy a house here ( one of the top 10 most expensive places in the world), cars( 2-3 times higher than in the US), fresh produce, clothing, electronic gadgets shopping, they are cost more than in the US.
They are capping with the gas prices.
Right! Lol I’m good on that.
Are you planning on living in Taiwan long-term? (10, 20, 30 years?)
No, I won't be here that long. Lol
Wait, is your scooter like a bike? I'm confused
It's like a low speed motorcycle.
One of the best things about Taiwan: Taiwan's Healthcare. It's so cheap.
AGREE!!
@@NneniaYasmeen I will be moving to Taiwan soon from PH. I will be living in Tainan. Wish me luck 🤩❤️
@@roibryant Congratulations!! I hope Taiwan treats you well 🤩 Good luck!
What speed is your wifi?
I have no idea. Sorry! Lol
Am just busy admiring the beautiful face ❤️❤️
I thnk it is the only country that celebrates gay pride and that's so cool.
