Following our West coast US road trip, we returned to Japan for a short while before hopping over to Taipei for a 3-day break! Along the way, we met up with Elly's long-term friend Bonnie (vlog debut!) and our friend Steve who we'd previously spent an evening shooting in Tokyo a couple of years earlier.

During the first couple of days, it was raining extremely heavily, but that didn't get in the way of our photography! We had so much fun exploring the streets and markets of Taipei for hours and hours. Taiwan had been at the top of my destinations to visit for multiple years and I'm so happy to have finally been, and also to have finally seen Taipei 101! The streets are insanely photogenic with so much character. I'm definitely eager to return and see more of Taiwan for a longer time!

14:01 is stunning. The people silhouetted, the glow, the contrast. Magnificent.

I've just recently come across your channel and I'm enjoying these videos so much. It's very different from my own videos and what I like to shoot, but it's super relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Keep it up, man!

I absolutely agree with you about the rain, the photogenic, the little walking man at crossroads, the food, and the patience of the drivers (of course not comparing to Canada or the USA... no comment on Austria lol... but I do find Polish drivers are exceptionally patient). Thank you for coming to visit Taipei, my hometown, and Taipei 101. The magic always awaits you at the corner. I am just glad it hasn’t gone too touristy yet other than a few spots. The city still had plenty to explore as I enjoy exploring and finding my ways by getting lost. #cometotaiwanagain Thanks, Joe!

Wow...where to start!? Awesome to see a bit of home through your eyes. The scene with the umbrella at 3:39, nailed it! You summed up Taipei when you said it’s a street photographer’s paradise, truly is. I’m ready to head back out and go shooting right now. -Taipei sends its best to you, Elly and Bonnie!

[gaelanubis]

Holy cow ! Your photos at the end of the video, under the rain + the night done.

[belalang]

You're a smooth operator Joe, and as usual this video is packed with crazy awesome content, from intro to outro. I'm learning new lingo with that chill hop wet-down comment.

Taiwan is such a beautiful country!! Really love the textures and colours you find in almost every nook and cranny of the city. <3 AND THE FOOD IS DAMN GREAT AND SUPER AFFORDABLE!!

[appleshampoo]

The rainy night photos of the 101 are exceptionally nice!

[dropy]

first time visit taipei during computex, street food is amazing

[jacksctsaiutube]

Love your photos! Especially those you shoot when the sun JUST came down at 12:08!

[TheWanderingQuinn]

This was so nice to watch! Now I want to go back even more! It's also good to see it in the rain (which I know now you love) because it was super sunny when I went so it looks like a different city!

[jefffiles]

In touch with the streets, and this comes through with your images in waves, great shots Joe. Just love your easy going attitude to life in your vlogs, cheers & happy travels.
