We went to Taiwan for the first time
and traveled around Taitung county.
Every place we visited was beautiful.
Here are the highlights.
Hello!
We're in Taiwan!
This is our very first time.
We're in Taitung county which is on the southeastern coast of Taiwan.
And this is a place that still has a lot of Japanese influence.
Yeah.
So it's been really cool for us to walk around
and see what we can recognize.
Isn't it delicious?
It really is.
Right?
Thank you.
Bye bye!
Hi puppy.
We noticed that there were dogs everywhere in Taitung.
Hotels, restaurants, on the road...we saw them everywhere.
We also came across the statue of an indigenous Taiwanese hunter with a dog
and met Bunun tribe who's the motif of the statue.
We found out dogs were traditionally important partners to their hunters
and throughout the generations that strong bond with dogs has been passed down to modern Taitung.
Swordfish
Sailfish
Sailfish, black marlin, and yellowfin tuna

Black marlin tail
This sashimi is so...
soft and melty.
It's really hard for me to pick up with my chopsticks.
It's very light.
It's also really fresh.
Just melts.
So soft.
This might be the best sashimi I've ever had.
Which one did you like the most?
Good question.
I think my favorite is this one.
The texture of this tail is similar to rice cake.
Japanese people love chewy foods that are crunchy outside.
This was exactly like that and I loved it.
Sunfish skin dessert.
You can eat it only here.
Isn't it good?
It's like Nata de Coco.
This is delicious!
Thank you.
He understood me! It's reaaally good!
Thank you!
All right. We just got to where we're staying tonight.
Look at this place! It's adorable!
It's like a little fairy tale house.
And this is right across the street.
Look at this.
Heading to my room.
Wow!
This is awesome!
I've gotta climb the loft.
This is a little scary.
There's more beds.
Jun, hi!
Now I want this style in my future house.
Good morning.
Morning.
It's raining but it's still beautiful.
Having breakfast with this beautiful view... awesome!
I can feel how chewy this is.
Right? It's really chewy isn't it?
This is really good, too.
They made all of this with their own rice that they grew by hand.
Yeah.
Gochisou-sama-deshita.
Please come in.
Thank you.
He spoke to us in Japanese.
It was Japanese.
Good morning.
Thanks.
I think these are stickers.
I thinks we're gonna stick sticker stuff on here. [wut... it's rice and sand]
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
We came to a cycling place.
Hello.
Is this automatic?
It's electric.
This is so nice.
Banana trees.
This banana.
You see?
Baby banana.
Oh.
So small.
Yeah.
It's not bad.
Not bad?
OK.
For you.
Thank you.
Bye puppy.
Oh yeah, puppy.
We came to an onsen!
Kanji characters are almost the same as Japanese.
The sign is the same.
Easy to understand.
Let's go.
Let's go! Ok.
We're gonna go the cold pool.
I don't wanna go cause I'm cold still.
Is it cold?
Arrr... no...
This is cold.
Go in. It's really deep, too.
I wanna go swimming!
My wife is swimming in an onsen.
How was it?
I feel really relaxed.
Yeah?
Let's go to the next place.
OK.
Here we are.
This is the hot spring resort that we're staying at tonight.
Amazing.
Luminous hot spring resort & spa
ok
So huge.
That's the bath?
There's a bath right here.
Here are the stairs.
Stairs!
Wow...
The bed is upstairs!
Hi.
I'm gonna watch you take a bath tonight. [creeper Rachel]
Let's take a bath together.
This is totally big enough.
Finally.
Yeah, easily.
I mean we can fit in a normal bath tab, too.
It's just not exactly spacious.
Awesome...
I want this in our house.
We'll make a whistle out of grass.
Leaf whistle?
Thank you.
Look at the bird.
This is my first ever massage.
And I'm gonna fall asleep.
Wow this is so beautiful.
Tea classroom.
This is $40!?
Per this??
Yes.
This is super high quality oolong tea.
It's 40 US dollars per tiny glass.
And apparently there's a specific way to drink.
Drink through the two upper teeth by sucking air.
Well then.
This is sweet and delicious.
You should drink, too.
OK.
This is really good tea.
Yeah.
Thank you very much.
Thank you!
Now we'll ride a horse.
Horse riding!
You like carrots?
She's so cute.
Welcome back.
What's next, Rachel?
Grass sliding.
This is great!
It's really hard.
Ok?
OK, I'm ready.
Here they come.
So cute.
Looks like he's having a great time.
Now we're gonna drink milk.
Okay. Yeah.
This is so pretty.
Cicadas are still crying in October.
Thank you.
Can I have yours, too?
Is it that good?
Good, really good.
So sweet.
Kampai.
This is so good.
It is good.
Oh, it tastes like ice cream.
Yeah, it does.
We're at the airport, leaving.
I'll miss you.
Bye Taitung.
