when we visit a foreign country

you wonder

is it safe?

I'd be biased and tell you that

I think Taiwan is safe

but

how about

let the others tell you

Sorry where are you from?

Germany

How do you feel around the neighborhood?

I think it's safe

the neighborhood in Taiwan

It's the 2nd day today

Oh it's the 2nd day and you already feel safe

Yea

Has anybody told you they haven't?

Well no but

that's why I'm trying to tell the

people who haven't been here

that Taiwan is safe

Yea

So

Where are you from?

I'm from America

from Kentucky actually

um fried chicken?

I've been here since September

so maybe

half year?

wow that's a long time

yea

Are you here to study?

I'm here to study Chinese

So you can speak fluent Chinese?

No no no not at all

It's improved

but there's still a lot of room for improvement

Your pronunciation is amazingly accurate

That's good that's good

I know I've got better pronunciation.

I think it's very safe

yes

because

When I'm in Kentucky, I wouldn't walk alone at night

You feel safe walking alone at night here in Taiwan

Yes but

some people may tell me not to do that

but I honestly think it's quite safe

You wouldn't be harrassed or anything?

No I don't think so

I've never experienced it

neither do my friends

so personally I think it's really safe

Huston

to study Chinese

Oh to study Chinese wow

You can speak Chinese?

Um yea I can

Are you a beginner?

Um what?

Are you a beginner?

Um no

I do speak a bit Chinese

Intermediate?

Do you think Taiwan is safe?

Safe because I can go out on my own

Um I don't need

Well I don't think I have to like

of course you have to be careful

but everyone is very helpful

if they know I'm looking for something

they always come up and ask

I need help

It's a really safe city

Do you think it's safe to walk around

maybe 10pm 11?

Yea I think so

if you are into that kind of thing

I'm not it

Me neither

If I have to go out late at night

I think I could

I've only been here couple of days
