Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles Hi guys! Welcome back on my channel. I am Charlotte. In case you do not know me; I am from Belgium and I used to live in Taiwan for a while. I came back to Belgium early because of the coronavirus situation. I wanted to be close to my family while all of this is happening right now. Anyway, recently I came across a video with the title: “Don't go to Taiwan”. It is made by Tolt. I saw this video in my YouTube suggestions and I was very curious when I saw the title. “Don't go to Taiwan”?? I can only think of reasons why I want to go to Taiwan. I was very curious to know the reasons why I should not go to Taiwan. I clicked on the video. When it started, I soon saw that the video is “supported by Taiwan” so it will probably not be negative. I thought it might be fun to film myself instead of watching it alone and to show you guys my reaction. I do not know if you saw it before. I can see that this video is famous. Maybe some of you have seen it? I do not know… Let me know. Okay, let us start! 3, 2, 1, … This gives me a “Spirited Away” vibe. When she goes to the spirit world. It is made by Tolt and supported by Taiwan, the heart of Asia. Wow… “Taiwan is just buildings and factories” I feel so peaceful when seeing this. Monkeys! Oh my god, that is one of my biggest regrets. I did not see any monkey in Taiwan. First, I thought maybe monkeys are very shy and scared of people so nobody can see them. They are far away in the mountains. But then I made some Taiwanese friends and they told me: “No! You can see monkeys in many places” They studied at a university that is famous for having a lot of monkeys on the campus. If you leave some food hanging around, or even books, they will grab it and run away with it. I think that that is hilarious, and it is on top of my list when I go back to Taiwan: I need to see some monkeys! Let us proceed. “Taiwanese nature is completely lifeless”. “Taiwanese temples are quite humdrum”. “Taiwan is not a destination for outdoor lovers”. That is hilarious! All the foreigners I know in Taiwan love hiking and being outdoors. I wonder where that is. “Taiwanese culture is not so diverse”. “Taiwan has no gastronomy”. Are you kidding me? Taiwan has the best food in the world. I have not been there. TT I love those “Don't go to Taiwan”. “The heart of Asia will enchant you”. Oh my god… It is a bit overwhelming to see all those things. I am being reminded of all the things I miss about Taiwan. I also see that there are so many places that I have not seen yet. I think this video is beautifully made. I think Tolt did a wonderful job. He truly showed the spirit of Taiwan. Not just images, not just empty air pictures The video is telling a story and showing us the warmth and the spirit of Taiwan in my opinion. I can only applaud him for doing such a great job I think that anyone who is hesitating about going to Taiwan, if they are not sure yet, And they click on this video, expecting to see reasons why they should not go to Taiwan, If you see this, you will be overwhelmed. “Okay… I should really go!” I think there is no question here. Taiwan is so worthy to be seen. I agree that Taiwan is one of the hidden pearls of Asia. Even if people can not openly talk about it sometimes for political reasons, Once you have been there, you immediately fall in love with the place. I think this video translates my love for Taiwan too. I think it is amazing. What did you think about this video? Did you ever see it before or was this the first time you watched it with me? If you have not seen it, I highly recommend you watch it full screen, full quality on Tolt's YouTube page. Let us give him a “like”. I think this video deserves so much recognition. It is truly amazing. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoyed. Do not forget to “like” and “subscribe”, it helps me a lot! I hope to see you again very soon for the next video. Bye bye!
