I identify with this a lot. As an American-born Taiwanese who never really paid much attention to my Taiwanese heritage, I was unexpectedly moved by my most recent trip back to Taiwan this year. I honestly can't put my finger on it, and I don't know why it was this trip that made me feel so strongly when all my previous visits had just felt like idle vacations or family obligations. But I came back with a deep love for Taiwan that I hadn't felt before, and a profound appreciation for the people, culture, food, and geography. The moment I stepped off the plane in the US, all I could think about was going back- that's never happened to me before in all my travels around the world. Taiwan really is a uniquely wonderful place.

11:12 The founding father of the Republic of China is actually Sun Yat-sen. Chiang Kai-shek was actually the 1st to 5th president of the Republic of China. He fought against Japanese invasion and the CCP in mainland China, although he finally lost to China and retreated to Taiwan. In Taiwan, in order to prevent the CCP from infiltrating, he promulgated several unreasonably draconian laws, that cause tens of thousands of people were imprisoned or executed for their speech, and more people were framed and misjudged, which was the notorious "White Terror" period. So in Taiwan, he is actually a very controversial figure. That's why this Chiang Kai-shek Square(It was renamed Liberty Square by President Chen Shui-bian in 2007.) became the site of many protests for democracy and freedom.

There are many pro-Japanese countries in the world, but among them, Japan and Taiwan are particularly close. If there is damage from an earthquake, they immediately come to help or donate a large amount of money. Many Japanese and Taiwanese visit each other's countries. Japan ruled Taiwan from 1895 to 1945. Many Taiwanese view this era positively (this is in contrast to South Korea). Taiwan has been democratized since 1988. The economy is also developing (TSMC is the number one semiconductor manufacturer in the world).

@@TalesFromOurPocket It's understandably confusing as to why Chiang Kai-shek is seen as a hero for ROC but not as much for Taiwan. This is because ROC and Taiwan carries with them two very different experiences/histories. As a result, the former (specifically the older generation of ROC supporters) has more of a anti-Japan sentiment whereas the latter has more of a favourable view of Japan. But modern day Taiwan as a whole is quite fond of Japan.

You guys got lucky with the shaved ice! The typical version, called bao bing, is what you'd expect- normal shaved ice with toppings, similar enough to what you can get all over Southeast Asia. What you got is called xuehua bing, and is a uniquely Taiwanese version that is indeed made with frozen condensed milk. One of my favorites! As a tangent, related to the other comment about Japanese influence: the Japanese are generally credited with inventing shaved ice, as far back as the 10th century or even earlier, and all the modern versions (Korean/Filipino/Hawaiian/etc) are considered derivatives. So this is another example of the strong Japanese influence on Taiwanese food culture!

Yes, we learned so much about him after this, including all the horrible things he did in Taiwan. 😞

My wife and I have enjoyed watching videos from your Taiwan playlist. We've seen most of them and intend to watch them all, partly in preparation for our travel to TW next year. We like that you try to give us a little background on places you go to and that you're fairly adventurous with trying new foods. Always cheerful, even during challenging situations. Nice work, and thank you for sharing.
