    We've made it to Taiwan, and we're so excited to dive into the hustle and bustle of Taipei! In this video, we're sharing our very first impressions and experiences as we explore this vibrant city for the first time.
    Our adventure kicks off with a quintessential Taiwanese breakfast experience. From savory soy milk to crispy youtiao, we dive headfirst into the flavors of Taiwan.
    Energized and ready to conquer the day, we set our sights on Elephant Mountain. A short but rewarding hike brings us to the top, where we're greeted with panoramic views of Taipei skyline, with the iconic Taipei 101 standing tall against the horizon.
    Next up, we head over to Addiction Aquatic Development. Though sushi isn't exactly Taiwanese tradition, we couldn't resist the temptation of fresh seafood. Even though it wasn't the most budget-friendly choice, it felt really good to indulge and treat ourselves!
    We then made our way over to the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. Here, we see the changing of the guards, stroll through tranquil gardens, and feed the graceful koi fish.
    We had to finish the day with some local snacks. We tried a sizzling scallion pancake and a refreshing bowl of mango shaved ice topped with strawberries, and, of course, a local IPA.
    We're so excited to share this new Taiwan series! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode! 💜

    Hey @SammyandTommy.
    Enjoy the night markets. Enjoy the Taiwan beef and noodles soup. If you want to stop at Dinh Tai Fong for dumplings, do that. They are quite famous.
    Additionally, when I was there, I got to see the changing of then guards at Chiang Kai-Shek's Tomb.

    The soup you ate for breakfast is actually salty(savory) soy milk, vinegar was added to the soy milk which turns it into a custard like soup.

    I'm assuming this was likely to have all been filmed before the earthquake which is lucky for you.

    Sammy said I hadn't been home for 7 months, and I wondered where his home was? I had the exact mango-shaved ice and Scalian pancake you guys showed in this video last year when I was in Taipei, and it sure makes mouth-watering. The long line could be deceiving as all orders are being prepared while waiting in line, so within 5 minutes, you are indulging in the crispy outside and tender inside flour dough that you have been yearning to try. I love how Sammy and Tommy include those bystanders in the video, which makes watching their journey more natural and fun.

    Hello Sammy and Tommy,
    I came across your videos by chance and was very impressed by the way you portrayed the places. Taiwan looks really great. Taipei is super cool. I like that you make contact with people, take photos of them, exchange a few words with them. You've given me a bit of an appetite for Taiwan and Taipei. I am a China fan. Likes everything Chinese. Whether on the mainland or Hong Kong/Macau. So does Taiwan. My favorite city is Shanghai. Will you also visit this city? Because I can imagine you both very well. Or Hong Kong? I would also be curious to see how people there react to you if you ask them their names or have a short conversation with them. In any case, I immediately recommended your videos. You guys are great !
    Thank you and kind regards from Europe
