So I know we all have the same question
when we visit a foreign country
you wonder
is it safe?
I'd be biased and tell you that
Taiwan is safe
but
how about
let the others tell you
Sorry where are you from?
Germany
How do you feel around the neighborhood?
I think it's safe
the neighborhood in Taiwan
It's the 2nd day today
Oh it's the 2nd day and you already feel safe
Yea
Has anybody told you they haven't?
Well no but
that's why I'm trying to tell the
people who haven't been here
that Taiwan is safe
Yea
So
Where are you form?
I'm from America
from Kentucky actually
um fried chicken?
I've been here since September
so maybe
half year?
wow that's a long time
yea
Are you here to study?
I'm here to study Chinese
So you can speak fluent Chinese?
No no no not at all
It's improved
but there's still a lot of room for improvement
Your pronunciation is amazingly accurate
That's good that's good
at least I've got the pronunciation down
I think it's very safe
yes
because
When I'm in Kentucky, I wouldn't walk alone at night
You feel safe walking alone at night here in Taiwan
Yes but
some people may tell me not to do that
but I honestly think it's quite safe
You wouldn't be harrassed or anything?
No I don't think so
I've never experienced it
neither do my friends
so personally I think it's really safe
Huston
to study Chinese
Oh to study Chinese wow
You can speak Chinese?
Um yea I can
Are you a beginner?
Um what?
Are you a beginner?
Um no
I do speak a bit Chinese
Intermediate?
Do you think Taiwan is safe?
Safe because I can go out on my own
Um I don't need
Well I don't think I have to like
of course you have to be careful
but everyone is very helpful
if they know I'm looking for something
they always come up and ask
I need help
It's a really safe city
Do you think it's safe to walk around
maybe 10pm 11?
Yea I think so
if you are into that kind of thing
I'm not it
Me neither
If I have to go out late at night
I think I could
I've only been here couple of days
it seems safe
Oh ok where are you from?
Um New Zealand
Oh okay
The accent is um
