小弟身為高雄楠梓在地人，歡迎你們來，我在小時候幾乎很少看的到外國人，但現在楠梓有很多外國面孔，幾乎各色人種都看的-到，希望你們能適應，喜歡這邊的生活。台灣不是只有Costco，我們還有Carrefour，全聯，7-11等等，另外，不是每個台灣人都喜歡臭豆腐的，像我就不愛吃，不過我倒是蠻愛看外國人第一次吃臭豆腐的表情。

我們家都自己油漆。沒小孩的時候就夫妻倆，有小孩的時候讓小孩也一起刷。除了省下錢之外，也有滿滿的成就感。

真的非常歡迎你們來台灣！也希望能愛上台灣，並習慣台灣的一切,跟你們的家鄉一樣，一樣有好的也有壞的！謝謝你們！

😄訪談中途伊甸突然跑來找安迪，對鏡頭打招呼的表情好可愛😘

大家都是有緣千里來相會，才會在台灣福爾摩沙一起生活，在這裡可以過自己想要的生活和追夢，建立理想事業發展，創作價值感喔！

非常有意義的訪談！ 台灣並沒有封城哦，也許「不能在餐館用餐」「電影院、KTV等大眾群聚的封閉地點禁止營業」算是封城的一種方式，那麼台灣的確是有。因為我也不清楚「3級警戒」算是到了什麼程度。他們的頻道我有追蹤哦，10月聽說要降至1級，代表他們可以以更寬鬆的態度去認識台灣了，真心歡迎他們，而且歡迎2位可愛的妹妹跟小弟弟

其實不是每一位台灣人都愛吃臭豆腐，所以你們不愛臭豆腐也是正常的。。跟喜不喜歡台灣是兩件事。我聞臭豆腐12年、每回吃個1～2口、漸漸才適應、進而喜歡。。就像吃最臭的起司、也不是每個人第一次就愛上。。對食物的喜好真的不要勉強。喜歡就是喜歡、討厭就是討厭，就是這麽簡單。

女主角很棒，會去發現各國優點，祝你們一家人在高雄過的開心，希望世界和平，種族不重要，大家都能自由在喜歡的城市體驗生活

油漆這工作如果不是漆天花板，大部分人都是自己來。如果是想大整修就會請油漆工人來做。 之前有北京人拍那的臭豆腐跟台灣的臭豆腐完全不一樣喔！不愛吃不等於不愛台灣，請不要太擔心。 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gcx_hbOj2Jebg5c.html

相信我們，台灣醫療感受一定比中國好上很多倍，這是連中國人都在誇我們台灣的醫療。

其實不管到哪個國家居住生活就是個體驗 , 仔細去感受那地方的文化習慣 / 風土人情 / 飲食娛樂 都是一種很好的生活方式 , 千萬不要有太多的比較觀念那容易給自己帶來困擾 , 有好就有壞沒有地方是完美的只有看自己更能接受哪裡的生活而已

很棒的訪談，很自然，很流暢，很尊重每一個人的觀點👍👍👍

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.

祝你們在台灣一切順利快樂，我們很歡迎👏

油漆時可以去水果攤要丟棄的鳳梨皮，攤開放在油漆的環境中(記得底部墊上東西才不會流著到處是汁)可以有效去除油漆氣味，當然打開門窗是最佳方式。

在台灣，油漆工會幫我們做很多除了油漆以外的工作，像修補缺陷，防水，漏水。。。的工作，所以如果是想要永久住的住家，會請油漆工來油漆的

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. 😉

這是之前拍的，第三個小孩～丹尼爾，已出生； 一切都是上天安排，自有命定，歡迎安迪一家！ 註：有關油漆，如果要刷整間應該會請人來做， 若修補小面積，應該會自己刷，不過因人而異！👍😃🙏

我家是選擇自己油漆，雖然有些耗時間，但是可以放鬆刷，採取一房間一房間油漆，順便打掃後再油漆。 相比起雇人油漆，必須在最短時間內搬開家具清掃，讓工人油漆，又趕又累，還花錢。

路過講一下～ 我家賣油漆的 台灣確實滿多人會自己刷 但重點是要有時間 有些人也滿享受DIY的過程

我也是住在楠梓的市民 ，喜歡吃臭豆腐，我們楠椊人都知道楠梓很有名的臭豆腐是"正興 臭豆腐"， 在德賢路上~

他們有非常可愛的孩子，尤其是小女兒，將來一定是個小美女😊

新環境需要一段時間適應，所有美好與缺點的認知，可能跟最初想像不一樣。 歡迎到台灣~我們大家一起經營這塊土地吧!

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.

油漆看範圍。剛裝潢的新家就請人，後續重新粉刷就自家人。

刷油漆的話如果只是自己房間或部分裝修，會選擇自己DIY，若是整間房要弄就看要不要直接找師傅來刷，都可以🙂 我自己兩坪多的房間是自己撕壁貼、補牆、設計空間裝設、找朋友動工釘牆的，成品挺好的～有手作的成就感跟美感～

非常高興安迪那麼喜歡台灣，選擇在台灣居住😽😽😽💖💖💖💪💪💪

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. 🇹🇼

以前每年都會去西安旅遊，其實西安還不錯，大公園蠻多的，環境也蠻好的，只是秋冬霧霾比較多，但是已經三，四年沒過去了

謝謝你們喜愛台灣🥰

哇！好可愛的一家人！

我們是自己刷油漆，跟孩子一起做，雖然很累，但是很有成就感，畢竟是自己要住的家

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!

都有~關於油漆，有人自己刷，也會請人來刷，或請塗鴉藝術家來塗鴉牆壁~

謝謝尊夫人，翻譯讓我們可以看到

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.

裝潢後就一定要請人油漆才不會累死，因為還要上AB膠、磨砂、打底、上漆，這些需要比較多的技術，如果只是單純上一層的話，自己來就可以了

我覺得你的背景音非常好聽，肯定也讓你們的生活帶來很多樂趣，哈哈

我喜歡你太太看著你的眼神 好幸福

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.

通常在台灣如果房子面積大，請人油漆會比較理想，也可能效率品質更好， 所以都會考慮請人油漆！

我們家是自己油漆的 因為最麻煩的是『油漆工作前、後的整理』，這都是要自己來的，油漆本身不難～

我們家非常崇尚西方教育和生活,只要生活相關事情,舉凡料理 家事 甚至油漆家裡都喜歡一家人一起完成 一起面對挑戰 成功!互相肯定 失敗!互相勉勵

台灣熱烈歡迎你們全家!祝福你們平安快樂！

台灣有優秀的油漆工只是大部分家庭為了省錢，假如沒有很大片的區域的話很多都會自己買油漆回家自己用！

中國是共產黨國家，人民沒有言論自由，來台灣是對的，台灣是自由民主國家，台灣雖小，是個海島國家，有山有水，風景很漂亮，也有很多的美食，和水果，氣候又不會很冷，是亞熱帶國家，歡迎安迪全家來台灣居住，讚喔！

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.

Come on Cole, they are nice people that don't wanna to offend so don't make them compare. We'll love them in Taiwan as they are :)

台灣有專業油漆工 找裝潢工它們幫你介紹 但台灣也有不少DIY的 另外得提醒一下外國人台灣溼氣重 防水塗層很重要喔

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.

我們家一開始時因為大家都要工作跟上學，沒有時間裝潢，所以都是花錢請人來油漆，但後來很多DIY工具的發明讓油漆不像從前那麼困難，家人就會選擇自己油漆

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♥️

我也在大陸看過醫生還是三等醫院，但我只能說台灣的醫療和醫生真的好太多了，等他們在台灣在住久一點，就會發現台灣更多的優點。

Andy夫婦移居台灣，看來抉擇正確！祝生活愉快🌷

台灣上網不用VPN！ 醫療資源也不錯👍 美食也好吃😋 希望你們能住的舒適！歡迎你們

因為家裡有小孩，所以油漆工程都自己來，挑選油漆品質比較好比較少對健康危害的，雖然很累但是為了家人健康值得這樣做。

Yes, we hire someone to paint our house! Very convenient.

A great episode of interview. Thank you Cole.

油漆的話看情況吧 小範圍的自己弄(修補或一面牆以內), 大範圍的找人來漆比較輕鬆~~

只有鄉下或舊城區自己的老舊房子才會自行動手 若城市裡幾千萬元價格幾十坪的大樓公寓房應該沒人會冒險自己刷油漆唯恐因小失大 再說若是租房可能房東也不准許！

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.

歡迎你們住台灣🇹🇼。

我也住在高雄、歡迎你們來！

其實台灣並沒有實施封城⋯封城是第四級才會達到的程度～希望用字還是要精準一點～ 因為英文的說法也太容易讓人誤會囉～5-8月只是管制了人群的聚集而採取了一些措施但沒有限制人民的外出喔～基本上是在防疫規定之下大部分人民選擇了更配合政策而減少出門～

In recent years, more and more people in Taiwan have been painting their houses instead of labor outsourcing, e.g. I did it myself.

高雄歡迎你們，很高興你們愛這個城市

一定要請油漆工來粉刷的！不是省錢的問題，而是油漆工的粉刷經驗豐富，粉刷完牆壁視覺效果很好。

Wow, Eden is so cute, like a doll.

Yes, I love to paint our house by myself. It's fun for me.

其實關於油漆的問題.可以自己油漆.也可以請別人來油漆. 自己油漆是花費比較少.請別人油漆.是會比較精緻.不過是要專業的油漆工. 當然如果想要效果很漂亮.那就要請專業的油漆工噴漆. 專業的油漆工會先用補土將要噴漆或是油漆的地方填補.並磨平. 當要噴漆的地方磨平後.才開始油漆或噴漆. 當然假如覺得家裡面想要油漆的地方很平整.也是可以自己油漆. 噴漆的話.其實不太建議自己做.因為噴漆會有化學溶劑.裡面有些化學物質對身體不太好. 而且噴漆也是蠻講究技術的...沒有經驗的人.可能效果不太好. 至於臭豆腐.真的不強迫. 假如想要嘗試.建議先從油炸的那種開始.先別嘗試煮的或是烤的那種. 油炸的一般來說可以忍受的人比較多.然後可以選擇自己可以接受的味道的. 因為有些臭豆腐會有水溝味道.那種的我也受不了... 烤的那種.有些人也是完全無法接受的.那味道真的是太重了. 但是.捏著鼻子吃下去.很奇怪就會覺得不錯吃.多吃幾塊就能接受那種味道. 但...還是不建議.因為有些人光聞那個味道就拒絕.

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😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

That is right! It is okay to love both places. :) And welcome to Taiwan, Andy and Cassia

願所有來到台灣的每個人，都有美好的未來😁

30多年前 家裡都自己油漆 油漆難度不高，不過 如果是天花板 要小心滴落的油漆 黏在地板上跟身上

I will paint my house by myself, actually I did it when pandemic locked down.

台灣並沒有封城喔..政府只是呼籲民眾.沒必要盡量別出門

有小孩的時候讓小孩也一起刷。除了省下錢之外，也有滿滿的成就感。

謝謝您對台灣的付岀

如真的要嘗試臭豆腐的話，拜託，慎選店家，當地人介紹較好，不要自己選，因為真的有差好不好吃哦⋯⋯😉😋

台灣一般大面積的都是請師傅來施工.油漆工作又分木材油漆..牆面乳膠漆.水泥漆..看你的需求

楠梓的大公園超讚的！

台灣人面對房子需要油漆時 , 如果是局部的區域如一個房間那自己油漆比例蠻高(80%以上一部分原因是只有一個房間需油漆工資會較高) , 如果是整間房子要油漆請專業工匠施工會比例較高(80%以上因為工作量大難度變高而且整間估價較為便宜)

請他們夫妻倆多到高雄其它地方去走走多了解會更好👍

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.

台灣大部分都是自己油漆，我高中時老師還買油漆讓我們一起漆教室牆壁。

It goes both ways. I painted my house twice. Some people would rather hire people to do it for them to save the time and energy.

During the lockdown, we all learned some new skills. Probably painting the house can be a good skill too. Lol

很輕鬆的談話，很喜歡

I am a Taiwanese live in the U.S. for many years. I love Taiwan and enjoyed watching this video.

Hi there. I actually have a machine I bought beforet o do the paint if you are interested. I can bring the machine to see if it still works. If not, we can always use the blush.

我家自己上油漆，有空時自己慢慢漆，很有成就感。

Welcome to Taiwan.

我們家每1-2年都是自己油漆，很累，但已經習慣了

Welcome you and your families to be in Taiwan. I was livining in Kaohsiung and my parients are still there. Hope to meet you all someplace in Kaohsiung someday. (My father is good at English).

We hire professional painters to do the job in Taiwan, although I did paint my apartment once, but I only painted over existing wall paints for decoration purposes.

真希望台灣人也能夠像你們一樣生那個多小孩🧒，感覺很溫馨。💕

Actually we treat panting house is a professional works here in Taiwan,so we don’t do the panting by ourselves.
