    IMPORTANT DESSERT CHOICE: Would you rather have the banana wrapped in fried noodles and chocolate sauce (the restaurant's specialty) or black tea ice cream with tapioca pearls and matcha jelly (that you can only get at Sun Moon Lake)?

I especially loved how the food was local, ie the fish from the lake and water bamboo grown nearby. They were two of my new favourites! And the black tea ice cream that you can ONLY order is clearly pretty special as well. So happy you enjoyed it all :)

    Michael, Thank you sincerely from my heart for what is one of the loveliest comments we've ever received. Reading it has truly made my day. ❤️ We work really hard and hearing that our videos make you smile and bring some joy makes us happy. I'm not surprised you loved Taiwan after one visit because our first visit (back in 2018) was enough for us to fall in love as well. In fact, "Falling in love with Taiwan" was the name of the first video we made about it. 🙂 And, yes, our "Canadian is showing" with the footwear... 😂

We are very grateful to be travelling again and excited about the rest of our new Taiwan series still on the way :) That's so cool that you guys lived there and spent Christmas at Sun Moon Lake! That must've been an incredible experience. I can imagine all the wonderful foods you got to eat during that time too. We've made other videos in Taiwan on previous trips (maybe you've already seen! :P) and those videos are here if you're interested: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJ5h2JWqhajSpbw.html. I'm sure there are lots of things that would bring back great memories for you both. I'm curious: after spending so much time in Taiwan, what was your favourite part about it/what do you now miss the most?

All the night markets and the tea, you just can’t find anything like it in the states. I also miss the many intricate and beautiful temples. We saw so many while we were there and every time I just felt in such awe.

I'm sure you'd love Taiwan and Korea - both such incredible places (and easy to visit on the same trip too). We flew with Air Canada from Canada and then with their Star Alliance partners all around Asia. It was a great experience all along the way and the flights were part of the press trip :) We did Air Canada's direct flight from Vancouver to Incheon (after connecting flights to Vancouver).

Great job at the helm of that boat Captain Eileen! 😄Those gastronomic tidbits looked so good. As I may have mentioned I'm basically a wimp with trying exotic foods (you two would help me overcome that hesitation :)) I guess there's no elegant way of chowing down on the fried banana. lol Black tea ice cream?
