I like it when you said that "it's ok to love two countries." If only more people felt that way. As to painting houses, we Taiwanese people usually hire professionals to do that, unless you are a person who like DIY.
Never paid anyone to paint. Mum, Dad and grandparents all painted their own houses, and taught me as well. It's actually quite meditative, Cole. I think you'd enjoy it, and, you don't need to do it all at once. 😉
I am a Taiwanese who lived in Beijing from 2010-2020, 10 years. I like both sides. The first year in Beijing was so challenge. I moved back to Taiwan since July 2020. Taiwan is my home, thus, I will always like it. We don't paint our house or apartment. We hire professional person to do so. But when I was a kid, we did paint our window with iron grating for our old house. That was a good memory. Wish Andy and his family a great stay in Taiwan and make it as one of your homes!

U should try the beef noodle as soon as possible. Which is amazing. Taiwan almost doesn't produce beef and wheat but beef noodle is actually Taiwanese specialty. Everyone loves it. I promise u will be addicted.
Taiwan is ranked the best destination in the world for expatriates for the third time in a row , according to the Expat Insider 2021 Survey released May 18 by Munich-based InterNations , the largest global network for people living abroad. 🇹🇼
In Taiwan, normally hired expert to paint our house when it is a brand new house! We will only paint it ourselves if somewhere needs to be repainted! Painting is a skillful job as well as different paints have different purpose!

I am glad this couple said that they had great experience in China. I hope they'll never feel that they are somehow "obliged to" to say they prefer Taiwan to China.
I am from Hong Kong, also is a student in Taiwan, I can say, in Hong Kong, most of the family will pay to a workers, and they will help us to paint and install the lights, etc... in our home.
I'm a Taiwanese, living in Changhua. I also went to 西安,it's memorable to listen what you have said like 肉夾饃、回民一條街. Not until today I know that it is Muslim district, thanks to your explanation.

You're right . They're nice people.Even though Taiwanese and Chinese look similar from our appearance, but there are a lot of differences about culture ,life habbits and behavior performance.They just moved to Taiwan for a short time. After couple of months, they willbfind out it 's really a bigdifference. Hope they will get used to living in Taiwan.

Welcome to Taiwan, the hidden paradise on the planet I call it. Regarding painting your house, you can either do it yourself or hire someone do it for you. Re the stinky doufu, yes, you can only judge it after trying it. Just like we have to try blue cheese to see if we can accept it. At least I did. One other thing is that you can be easily spoiled by the friendliness of Taiwan people, as it is something missing when travelling to other countries. Enjoy your stay and have fun here. 歡迎歡迎!

Wish you have wonderful time with your children in Taiwan. I am a Taiwanese American in New York.
I prefer printing my house by myself. You can save money and also do what you like. Of course, hiring someone to print is more beautiful than DIY. But build up your dream home is the best thing in new life. Welcome to TAIWAN♥️
中國可以上google 或 youtube 嗎?我在中國的朋友都說不行耶~ 覺得哪一個國家怎樣,有什麼不同其實都可以說,台灣是自由國家,不會因為說了什麼就被審查,也不會因為說了不喜歡台灣的地方就被消失。People in Taiwan do not care much about if they are politically correct.
thanks Cole for good conversation about different cultures

My family is also planning to Kaohsiung when our lease is up! We have a 3 year old too. The pandemic definitely gave us time to think about this decision.
In general, we usually hire someone to paint the house in Taiwan. However, nowadays, some people started painting their houses themselves. (The majority of people hire someone to paint your house.) Not every Taiwanese likes sticky tofu........ However, most people love it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I will paint my house by myself, actually I did it when pandemic locked down.
That is why I like Cole Folgel‘s channel. Unlike his other Canadian You Tubers friends in Taiwan , Cole is not as biased or political when it comes to discussion about China. But in terms of healthcare I believe U.S. has better healthcare system compared to Taiwan and China. It is true that U.S. healthcare cost is extremely high but as long as you have health insurance which is affordable in my opinion it is a much higher in quality and more comprehensive in coverage.Taiwanese health insurance may be cheap and useful when it comes to outpatient services, but for chronic illness requiring hospitalization, many items are actually self pay. Expensive medical services of higher quality are not covered by Taiwanese health insurance and if you choose to have it , it is out of pocket costs. The worst of all is that you do not have a choice on purchasing private health insurance in Taiwan because it is a single payer healthcare system. So if you don’t like the health insurance for lack of comprehensive coverage , you are out of luck.
