well he is a native english speaker...

Yup, not bad 👍

@@dotmerah6713 James mentioned he attended international schools in Taiwan. Hence, his entire education was in English, which pretty much makes him a native speaker. As a person who attended an international school myself, it is common that one's English would be even been better than his or her mother tongue.

Likewise, he must have been very much pressured to find a higher paying job since his parents must have paid over ten times the amount of tuition to attend international school in Taiwan compared to local students whose parents are paying pennies for their education. The ones that are hitting the jackpot are those who went to Taiwanese public schools and still scored high in SATs.

@@dotmerah6713 how do you know james is not growing up in english speaking country? Or even speaking english at home?

You are Welcome to Singapore !

Where are u from! You definitely should visit it for a short trip

Because James respects the country he is staying in now. Very smart.

いつもありがとうございます😂

@@GhibOjisan How do you know your Taiwanese friend James?

@@GhibOjisan Btw how did you know James,? I noticed your netizen even ask you this question before but you didnt share with them.

そう、KZfaq始めてから気づきました…いまから治るのかなぁ笑

He studied in Taiwan's American school and went to USA for college, all lessons were taught in English and probably everyone in school spoke only English. So is really not surprising he is fluent

情報ありがとうございます🙂

おちんちんシール it’s probably not an easy fix 😅

中国人が買ってるから高くなる

@@user-ok8vx5bh1u 台湾だけが買えないですよ中国

@@jonjeong1178 台湾人に買わせたり外人に買わせたり法人で買ったりしてる。

jon jeong どういうこと？

かあ 台湾は中国を差別しすぎる、数ヶ月前中国はマスク不足時台湾はマスク出荷禁止の対策，アメリカがマスク不足だったらすぐ禁止を撤回し毎週十万を提供する もちろん中国人は台湾に行くや住むなどもいろいろな制限、逆に中国は台湾人に対して中国人以上の優待だな

He mentioned 3-4 times, so that will be between 4.5 to 6k in Singapore.

@@huaiwei Oh ya, thanks Bro!

@@junbiaotoh8543 you are welcome!

It is not easy for a foreigner to get a job in Taiwan. Not worth the effort IMO.

I'm slowly becoming a Sinkie I guess, haha

lol actually I tot the older generation still dunno how to pronounce it leh. It's more an issue of English proficiency?

The word ‘quay’ means a long stone platform along a river where boats load and unload their goods. Usually a godown or warehouse is located next to it. If you check the dictionary, it’s really pronounced as ‘key’. So it’s not a Singaporean way of pronouncing it. I learned to pronounce this word when I was in primary school back in 1970s. The word ‘quay’ was in the vocabulary list that my teacher had written for our weekly spelling test.

@@tonymoly8739 read carefully. He is not suggesting it is a uniquely Singaporean way of pronunciation. He is implying that non-English speakers tend to mispronounce it, and gradually learn to pronounce it correctly simply through living here and interacting with locals and listening to MRT announcements.

@@tonymoly8739 r

grass is greener on the other side

Why? For Long term or experience? Tax is so high!

Grass seem to be greener on the other side, but when you experienced overseas living, you start to realise, Singapore is indeed one of the better cities to live in the world.

@@deathzcruzer not the main point. I would love to live and work overseas for a different experience.

It is ok to try work and live elsewhere, then make your decisions.

Yeahh its about whether u have the heart to learn....

unfortunately there are incidents once in awhile where singaporeans take it upon themselves to shame and give these workers a hard time... we've all seen the viral videos :(

Oh yeah - and I wanted to recommend Gosso to you - it's a yakitori place along that stretch of bars at Boat Quay. Very legit! Usually see quite a number of Japanese expats eating there. They know how to do their BBQ without over-cooking the food so it's moist on the inside. Really recommend the chicken liver.

Hi A Low thank you for a great idea! I am excited to do a video on Donki. It will be done. Stay tuned!

A little know thing is fresh grad get paid above $5k in Govenment agencies, at least I know that is the case in technology sector. With good paper qualifications of course. Singapore gov value the toilet paper.

Martin G I think it may be restricted to certain agencies and what you do. I certainly wasn’t paid 5k and neither was my friend who was a first class honours grad. If you really want money go to banking/consulting. It’s tough but at least you’re remunerated well. It’s well known that if you want to make money, don’t work in the government sector. Government is pro-family. Average salary, good hours (again it depends on which agency you’re in).

SeriouSyrius The median salary for fresh graduates is easily >$3k now. It’s rare to get paid below $2.7k minimally.

really? don't know which part of Taiwan you are referring to "felt pretty pretty at home". Try if you feel at home at Tainan

@@soc7052 huh? The Cantonese are the third biggest group in both Singapore and Malaysia. In Singapore, the three biggest groups are: Hokkien (43.5%), Teochew (21.9%) and Cantonese (15.9%). In Malaysia, it is Hokkien (32.4%), Hakka (22.1%) and Cantonese (19.8%). Most of the Cantonese speakers don't even come from HK, and neither were they brought over by the British. They mostly came from across Guangdong province, and the migration from southern China to Southeast Asia has happened for hundreds of years long before Britain even realised this region existed. They arrived in larger numbers when Southeast Asia become more prosperous and China underwent upheaval by their own accord, and certainly not due to the British.

@@soc7052 I am absolutely laughing at the incredible bullshit which I am reading. Pray tell, where are you from, and what is your connection with Malaysia? I hope for heaven's sake that you are not Malaysian. And if you are some foreigner who has lived in Malaysia and claim you know it well based on that, then what a poor guest you are. You are probably not hosted very well. lol Why should I waste my time discussing facts with you, when the *only* reason for you disregarding the numbers I posted was because it came from Wikipedia, nevermind that those numbers were actually from a 1970 national census cited from an academic paper (census numbers are a lie too?). Read further in that paragraph, it says that Hokkiens are still the dominant group today. So what counter sources are you showing to prove your case? Zilch. Just because the Cantonese-speaking peoples dominate in the capital region, hence dominating the airwaves and television and resulting in an outsized cultural influence, does not make them the dominant group, or worse, the "only group" as you dared claim. The Hokkien-speaking peoples dominate in the other two prosperous regions in Malaysia, namely Penang in the north and Johor in the south. I, being Singaporean, has plenty of interactions with Malaysia and Malaysians, and have conversed and worked with them over the years to know what the dominant language actually is in various Malaysian cities and states. What do you know? Finally what kind of sloppy piecemeal reconstruction of migration history is that? Are you claiming non-Cantonese speakers did not migrate to Peninsular Malaysia? Are you claiming the Chinese in East Malaysia are all assimilated and stopped speaking their native tongues? And how are these random pieces of imagined history supposed to support your theory that " the Chinese in Malaysia are Cantonese speaking due to the British brought them over from Hong Kong area."? Once again, I hope for your own sake that you are not Malaysian. What a complete embarrassment of a Malaysian you will be then. It is about as intelligent as you having only watched HK martial arts movies, and then claiming Cantonese is the dominant language in China.....and trying to convince a Chinese of this alternative and hilariously simplistic image of his own region or country.

@@huaiwei Chinese immigrants were not “literally” brought over to Southeast Asia the way the enslaved Africans were brought over to the US, South America, Caribbean in ships but it was only because of the colonization by the British and Dutch, which developed Malay archipelago and Indonesia, there was a need for labor that’s why the opportunities were created for the Chinese immigrants to go over. There were a small number of Chinese who went before colonization, in those early days and those small numbers later became the Peranakan community. Obviously we all know this community is a minority and most of the Chinese immigrants were later immigrants. By the way stop going around calling yourself “Chinese”.

Stefano cos the foreigners here are the top tier ones... look at them they speak American English!

どこが？日本の新卒は13万〜16万ぐらいが多い。

Yes, I was in Taipei and find that food is just slightly cheaper, but metro fare prob about the same. And hostel bunk bed rates quite expensive actually. A decent one is easily over S$30 vs China's about S$10 to S$15 per night even in places like Shanghai.
