  • Hello, Luke! I am a LEPSTER from Taiwan. It's amazing to discover that many people here in Taiwan listen to your podcast. I appreciate your kind and knowledgeable efforts, and listening to your podcasts has become a daily routine for me. Although I rarely need to speak English in my daily life, I believe learning English is like exercising - it requires persistence and regular practice. Thanks again for your informative content at various levels. It really helps me improve and is interesting enough to keep me listening.

  • Hi Luke and Kate, I'm a Taiwanese potter. We design round shapes for winter vessels because the closer and inward rim can hold the temperature better, also the thicknesses of them are normally greater compared with those for summer. What Luke said in the video contributed to the effect as well.

  • Have just listened to this on Podcast few days ago but think I want to come here to leave comment! So to response to the late opened coffee shop situation, I think there's two reason about it haha 1. The coffee from convenient stores is too good and cheap so the coffee shop in the morning might be hard to compete. if opened in the early morning. (and most of the convenient stores in Taiwan are 24/7!!!)(I miss it so much) 2. Taiwan's work-life balance is sadly bad. Many people need to work till late night so they need to go to a coffee shop or grab a coffee late to keep them awake and work. It's almost impossible to see in the UK. But overall, I believe Kate would love Taiwan as it's a liberal and friendly country!! Welcome xx

But you can get all kinds of breads, croissants, bagels, and local style bereakfast. Definitely, all around, especially in Taipei.
