M13's first week in Taiwan

[Killamatrix243]

3:19 pause,is that mordeth13?

[tzeparu77]

yeah, well once I offered my seat to a middle age woman on a bus and she gave the i wanna kill you look and said are you calling me an old woman? That´s the last time I got off of my seat for a woman I don´t l know

[bacalaitoxxx]

no walking acroos then might aswell run

[xAndroid316]

The reason their getting mad at you is because they think your calling them fat lol

[MrJello4x4]

and i thought asian drivers just drove bad in the US...jk ive been to china, i know they drive bad everywhere lol

[oi565]

How old you were when you moved to Taiwan?

[aSlightComa]

$35 for a short train ride? do you mean yen? :)

[hsiangfantang]

@aSlightComa NT dollors, in Taiwan.

[oi565]

@aSlightComa No, probably Taiwan dollars. Yens are used in Japan.

[thy6art6is6murder]

Do you still live there?

and where do you live In Taiwan?

cheers-

[oi565]

@thy6art6is6murder Yes he does.

[Maldrend]

=O You're on feet! It's so differant seeing you on feet going so slow..

[handsomejustin]

you're such a good citizen, more people should ask women if they're pregnant when they're on a bus so they can reserve seats for them!

[FAB12UCB]

like the new video player

[cyclopse50]

im just finding about these more informative, intimate videos.

i wonder what your private channel has to offer.....

[TheCrazymook]

were you not scared moving to this place, from Canada even more so because you didnt speak the language?

[khunopie]

I always ask women if they are pregnant. If "no" I ask them, like a true gentleman, if they would like to be.

[HaloGrndr]

4:35, amazing amazing scene.

is the token rendered useless when used?

[chi3x10]

@HaloGrndr When you exit the station, you have to return it. :)

[HaloGrndr]

@chi3x10

oh that's good, it'd be a massive waste to just use so much plastic...

thanks

[pandaSmore]

The token probably has a RFID.

[ManicTheManic]

the more i watch you videos the nicer taiwan seems before i had a pretty bad image of what it would be like but your videos have very well changed that, and also yeah i wish we had that kind of transit system here.

[MrTwelveoclock]

its 13.67 miles

[xCheesecBoyx]

hey mordeth, i used to live in hsinchu a few years ago, then i moved to america. your videos remind me of home =D

[spoonbillproductions]

Thanks for the videos. I'll be coming back to Taiwan in a couple of months and watching these videos has got me fired up. By the way...are there no bars in Taiwan or is it just me? Anyways, thanks again. Enjoy the day!

[martinedverlaque]

hey man just wondering why did u move to taiwan

[nibbitnibbit]

3:19 ??

[DANNYTOPDOG]

why did you move to taiwan anyways not saying its a bad thing just generally asking

[Koobaczech]

thumbs up for the "elite performance of professional driving" lol

[DengBang]

a joke huh.. ok. well, to me that sounded like the way u talk when u tell all your stories..

[DengBang]

well asking women if they are pregnant is out of the ordinary and they may think u're just calling them fat.. duh?

[13mordeth]

@DengBang LOL, you say "duh" to me......but you're the one that can't get a joke when you hear one. I didn't actually say that to any women.

[handsomejustin]

@13mordeth DengBang is kinda retarded...

[GOOBENsticks]

@handsomejustin Lol So why don't you replay it to DengBang, you think M13 really gives a crap?

[suchAnoob]

@DengBang I laugh at your 8 month-old comment 'cause you're dumb.

[Shalashaska777]

I kinda wanna get into whatever band that was that started playing at 4:30. Can I please have a name or something? :D

[Allmaster125]

are you american or taiwanize or w/e.

[matt999tye]

@Allmaster125 yo i be taiwanize or w/e wassup

[combiarable]

great video! but feels a way too slow after your driving. thank you very much for showing and describing Taiwan. pretty interesting.

[SCHIZOPHRENlC]

can I suggest/request something? well, I see that you have a lot of series.. and I know that you can put videos in playlists to make viewing easier. I think you should put all your continual series in playlists on your YouTube page... cause for me, sometimes it's somewhat hard to find every single video on a series you have. it would be really great if you took like an hour or two to put all your past series in playlists for us. it would help! just a suggestion!

[youtuPSP]

Wow. M13's voice has changed a lot. I cant wait to go visit his tour company.

[negronijabitches]

lol like this guy his old

[orangeboxchina]

over 15000 people per km2 in Taipei. I now the distance fears are real, If i suggest going to Danshui from Teinmu, I get told too far .... its only 15 - 20 minutes max, hahaha, I've friends in Australia who's driveway is longer than that !

[JoeAuriun]

You sound a lot different here than your new vids

[ashley118118]

"like this guy he is old" lol

[karmaGfa]

Pregnant women don't need to get special attention, like getting a sit, when they are not "big" enough to be recognized as such.

I guess that you were making a joke.

[oikko18]

no traffic rules

[William1990hill]

if those rate reminders werent there i would always forget 5*!

[stpage]

"like this guy, he's old" lol

[MrGinnipe]

some nice elevator music you gave the train M13

[solidDisband]

thats like the sky train in bangkok

[Keyiya6]

Was the hostel called Happy Family? I stayed there for a month. Loved the location but not so much the hostel itself. But... I only paid $275 for a month with AC included. I cant complain

[Felton321]

your cheap!!!!!!!!!

[GustavoMorenoo]

holy shit you are going fast

[hoter421]

i wonder how u look like

[pivotnoob1235]

i didnt realize that by bolivard you ment median

[13mordeth]

My English is sometimes lacking.

[conrad4ever]

the more you talk to chinese people I find the worse your english and chinese gets! becuase they never want to speak chinese and there english is usuly crap as well!

[mynameisadamsmith]

lol.

I can spot more than 4 grammatical errors in your comment.

Shame on you. Fucking retard.

[conrad4ever]

yo mama don't seam to mind!

[aReasonableMan12]

And a spelling error.

[dicipline8888]

@pivotnoob1235 I didn't realize that by bolivard you meant boulevard

[dicipline8888]

@pivotnoob1235 and you misspelled "meant"

[Dexi]

@pivotnoob1235 correcting someone's SLIGHTLY incorrect word while both spelling it wrong, and spelling "meant" wrong... Nice work.

[dfan]

This is so nostalgic. I remember being in all those places when I visited.

[OuiYepp]

That's it! I'm going to Taipei for vacation.

[PatrickandSue]

Hey Mordeth13, when you are in Canada do you speak english or canadian? Wait.. hmm this joke is'nt as easy to write because of the two national language thing... Maybe he means cantonese or mandarin

[RockinSurfer09]

2 questions what language are you speaking chinese or mandorin? or how ever its spelt lol and how long did it take you to learn to speak it?

[13mordeth]

Mandarin IS Chinese....they are the same. And yes that's what I'm speaking.

[RockinSurfer09]

lol yeah i realized how stupid that was literally just a few seconds after i asked it. But yeah how long did it take for you to learn how to speak it though?

[13mordeth]

Took me about 6 months to pick up the basics.

[jibjibjub]

great vid

[SliCk5454]

i have never done it in a car too.. xD

[raszunn16]

Mmmm motion sickness yippy

[RammsteinFire13]

5:42 haha

[Cheesekai]

lol when u ask some1 if they're pregnant sometime ppl think u r sarcastic at them that they're fat xD

[wtfunder]

you realise he knew that.

[michaelnicosia]

lol i love your videos!

[angleblue612]

hey i live in BanQiao in taiwan too haha

man all ur videos makes me miss it soo much

i remember the BanQiao train station was all flooded

a few years back cuz of a typhoon...

[azjmiles]

great views of taipei from the train, that is also a trip down memory lane for me. That was of course my favorite city while I stayed there even though the people I stayed with didn't like it very much. I stayed in the third largest city somewhere in the middle of taiwan. Great vid, your chinese is great, the tones are very noticeable. (i'm commenting on your spoken chinese from other vids)

[deathsfingers]

hey mord, j/w when your walking around there, do you have ur helmet on with ur camera in it? And if so, do you ever take ur helmet off?

[UtubeCritic7]

lol they mad at you cus they think you are calling them fat lol

[smasila]

so sad....we in North America will never have a great public transit system as they do.

[Maxaker67]

@smasila well NY has one dont it?

[r4x2]

@Maxaker67 yes, but not everyone lives in NY.

[19texasraised92]

@r4x2 thats why we have highways and passenger trains, like he was saying theres red lights going to every city, our highways are very efficiant

[r4x2]

@19texasraised92 I'm fine with our highways, but not my city's public transportation system, which is what was referred to in my original response. I am lucky to have the ability to own and drive my own car, but not everyone in my city can say the same. Which is why we need an improved public transit system.

[19texasraised92]

@r4x2 we have bus routes.

[r4x2]

@19texasraised92 true, but they need great improvement.

[hdavid12]

@19texasraised92 Taiwan actually has nice highways as well, which you can see in another of mordeth13's videos. I'm sure that the red lights he was referring to are on ordinary roads that connect the cities.

[x105010601]

@smasila never say never :D

[dawthness]

@smasila clearly you've never been to san francisco.

[JazzZar1988]

Mr Mordeth, let me give you a friendly heads up....

When you ask a woman if shes pregnant, all she hears is: "You look fat". Hence the dirty looks. Aww that's ok though... now you know. : )

[anticks]

that guy pulling out was classic. How dont you see that? Its like they can only see 2 seconds infront of em... Im stopping, im checking both ways, im pulling out, its a boulavard.... im turning back!

[jmezm7777]

Taiwanese are really crap at driving. I've lived here for four years and have seen shitty drivers everywhere.

The most worrying thing is they actually think they are good

[WarAddiction]

so if a old pregnant man comes up you better get steppin =O

[tommy525]

hhaahaa@are you pregnant?

[ninjarider247]

this is pretty cool never seen anything like it

[hangover71]

and your point is..?

[alida6666]

thiz iz da hot shit dawG

i luv yo show n plz keep doin da vid stuff aye ~

[cornelje]

I miss the MRT system. So clean and cheap. Hows the new years celebrations this year?

[13mordeth]

I'm did my best to ignore them. I like having time off work. But I dislike trying to walk my dogs at night with constant fireworks going off.

[cornelje]

How do your dogs deal with the summer heat?? I saw quite a few different breeds last summer but I'm still a little nervous about bringing mine with me.

[13mordeth]

I dunno......I don't find it that hot here. It's hotter in Canada in the summer....in Manitoba anyway. Dogs can take most any heat....as long as they have water.

[smirage22]

enter your text here annotation fail

[jackcajyeh1228]

ok....do you seriously not understand why those women got mad at you when you asked them if they were pregnant?

[13mordeth]

I love this comment. Jackcjyeh is amazed by my stupidity for not "knowing" why the women were mad at me. But as the majority of you know......it was a joke.

[ados9569]

lol yeah but jack doesn't understand the meaning of a joke its pretty sad actually

[cwjolly69]

lol de dede

[simysimy9]

lol like this guy. he's old

[dprider02]

It's bad manners to ask a woman if she's pregnant unless you can actually see the baby coming out. Although, I suppose the question hardly needs asking at that point. ; )

[Civsuccess2]

Lol, are you pregnant?

[Ataylor0]

Never knew taiwan had such good technology. All the Train computer chips and all that. Did you have a bike at this time?

[taiwanrox888]

In these times everyone has technology... Taiwan has had technology for a long time.

[ChAoS9779]

I've done it in a car \=

[jeiwaru]

Is the guy in the song in the background saying "fuck you!" when mordeth is at the front of the train?

[gemdiver]

From my understanding of chinglish, that is exactly what he is saying.

[mys0ck]

why did you move from canada to taiwan? and do you speak mandarin?

transit there is so organized! i love it!!!

[dctim]

That's an amazingly easy to understand fare system. If only stuff like that was used more widely, people would actually use public transport

[rtmech301]

maybe they thought u were trying to say they looked pregnant/fat haha

[Kashio]

Taiwan people actually (sometimes) get angry if you "yield" or offer them the seat on buses or MRTs. cuz they'll think you're indirectly saying they're old or disabled.. I don't think the girls you asked know what you were trying to do.. I think they thought you're pervert of some sort :P

[Ratsacker]

enter your text here was fucking classic.

[Chick6517]

omg that was amazing i wish i could do that but me i know how to do very few thing haha but ya cudos to you ... i think imma try to learn to do that [=

[Draidic]

what a trippy view at 5:01. big city O_O.

Good job being a rebel, steal that handicap persons seat.

fight the power!

[souliz428]

havn't been viewing ur vids for awhile, but im glad that ur still making them after all the problems u had = )

keep it up

[jamiebridges123]

WELCOME TO TAIWIN.

O_O;;;;;

Hi . :)

[Buzzap14]

Do you speak the native language there?

[GraceEverlasting7]

lol..."Elite performance of professional driving"

[racemachine77]

i would have driven over that bolavard, lol, "are you pregnant?"

[UltraSamFisher]

xD like this guy he is old XD

[mezhkolape]

You sound a lot more like the old mordeth. The one I subscribed to. It's nice to see, and much more enjoyable to watch.

[interomike]

I look forward to seeing the sights in these video, My wife is from Taichung and after I finish my Masters she and I will move back so that I can teach. Anyway Mordeth has guts for moving to Taiwan. I'm sure it hasn't always been fun.

[stefmax]

I hope there is more footage about that hostel!

Awesome video~ Flash back.

[13mordeth]

This is part one. Part 2 will be up in about 6 hours.

[gemdiver]

Did you say you were offering them your seed? I think that's why they looked at you weirdly.

[SpacedTime]

lolol, "are you pregnant? No? Can i offer you my seed?"

lol

[XRickyxC]

LOL...Another great video

[dangledog]

Were you trying to give up your seat or your seed? I am still laughing over your dog reply. You are soo funny sometimes! Best Wishes!

[dquin12]

rofl " elite performance of profesional driving" , and that train is fucken fast how fast do u reckon it goes?

[13mordeth]

Someone above wrote 180 to 280km/hr is it's actual speed in Taiwan.

[akmartinka]

Mordeth are you going to visit Rob? hmmm....well you could.

[13mordeth]

I saw him last year at this time. I've written to him a couple of times recently and he didn't reply. So I highly doubt we'll hook up this year.

[criskity]

Hey, at 4:50 you traveled right past my apartment!

[sparks444]

wow, that looks so dense.

[13mordeth]

Fuck you, I have a high IQ. I'm not dense.

[antonyr123]

Pmsl

[wkiltz]

always enjoyed your vids,,,,all time fav is asking if chicks are prego,,, good stuff just real good stuff,,,, your the man,,,

[viet978]

how long does it take to get to Taipei riding on the train?

[13mordeth]

15 minutes...or less maybe.

[chonzla]

so i beleive the real question is... WHY haven't they made a M13 anime? because that would so over sell poke'mon and dragon ball z

[chewyButt]

Lol Mordeth, you travelled all the way to Taipei to make a video? Awesome

[13mordeth]

No no, I was going to a government office to pick something up. I forget what....passport perhaps?

[swanny812]

i entered my text there

[WildMaverick1200]

Beel-Deengs? lol

[UNClax990]

LOL; Are you pregnant, or just fat?

[UNClax990]

How much is the train ticket?

[13mordeth]

The high speed train ticket from my city to Taipei is about.....4 dollars. Regular train is about 1.50. That's USD.

[DasBurGovna]

how fast does that train go?

[speedcrayzy]

faster than you think.

180mph - 280km/ph

many Taiwanese are skeptical

about the safety and reliability of this hi-speed rail

[mariotwentyone]

hahahahahah another classic from M13.

thank you..thank......you!

[TeamXtrm]

if you pause it just right at 3.19 is that m13 in the reflection in the window? it looks creepy, its only there for a split second too

[zootoo63]

can anyone translate what 35 dollars in taiwan currency would be in canadian?

[BaltoMovie]

google it

[13mordeth]

35 Taiwan dollars would be just over a dollar Canadian.

[zootoo63]

one of the best vids in a while. i like the vids where your off the bikes

[somdeth33]

daym! that train goes really fast

[ELBYISCOOL]

Compared to the mass transit in Taipei, NY subways are so boring and dull

[Nickiller6969]

mordeth you should get payed for making all these vids and taking so much time lol !

[Seth6Strummer]

Good video : )

[JPthimmesch]

Hey Mordeth, thanks for sharing some of your memories with us! You inadvertently spurred some of my own memories by showing the Taipei train station... so thanks again! (and not so great memories of a crazy ex-Taiwanese girlfriend.)

[JPthimmesch]

oops, that should be "Taiwanese ex-girlfriend" :0

[musicbugey]

hello M13 i was in Taiwan on my christmas and its realy nice there

:D

[GraniteWhip]

Why are you in Taiwan?

ALso, are you Taiwanese, aka asian?

[Seth6Strummer]

Hes Canadian

[gangsta078]

LOL at that driver hahaha

[egalotti]

i enjoyed this video...i like it when you do memory lane stuff and show us around taiwan in different perspectives.

COOL :)

[kairojya]

cool video, one of my new favorites

[Klauka46]

Hey M13!

Nic vid, it was good to see how things are going in Taiwan.

OMG...the train station is so huge...I hope I can show you our station...it's a joke :)

I like this country...maybe I will go there once.

Thanks for the sightseeing!

Keep on! ;)

[sandes1988]

"old people like this guy here" lmao

[Hikikii]

Mordeth13. Walking.

wtf.

[UKRedWing]

bet it was a woman driver
