早上六點的紐約 :) NYC at 6:00 am.
我想了很久要不要錄這個主題
I thought for a long time about whether I should record this episode.
畢竟這集跟臺灣沒有直接的關係
After all, this episode doesn’t have a direct connection to Taiwan.
但仔細想想，我覺得其實非常重要
But after thinking more carefully, I realized it’s actually very important.
因為美國流行文化也是跟臺灣人聊天的重要話題之一
Because American pop culture is also one of the important topics when
chatting with Taiwanese people.
每次我回臺灣，跟朋友、跟家人聊天，
Every time I go back to Taiwan and chat with my friends and family,
免不了都會聊到美劇、美國電影、ＮＢＡ、MLB 、音樂
we almost always end up talking about American TV series, American movies,
the NBA, MLB, and music.
有件事你一定要知道，
There’s one thing you definitely need to know:
我們臺灣人很熟悉美國流行文化，
Taiwanese people are very familiar with American pop culture.
早期的留學國家首選，一定是美國
In the past, the top destination for studying abroad was definitely the United States.
回去臺灣，我爸跟我先生聊天的時候，都在聊電影、
When I go back to Taiwan, my dad would try to talk about movies,
ＮＢＡ、美國職棒、當然還有政治(川普)
the NBA, Major League Baseball, and of course politics (Trump) with my husband.
(At first he felt strange because he's French, but then
he got used to it.)
另外，我知道我的 followers 很多也是美國人，
Also, I know that many of my followers are American.
所以懂得跟臺灣人解釋自己國家的文化也很重要，
So knowing how to explain your own country’s culture to Taiwanese people
is also very important.
對不對? 臺灣人對這個也很好奇
Right? Taiwanese people are very curious about this too.
有沒有看過「臥虎藏龍」這部電影?
Have you ever seen the movieCrouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon?
導演是李安，他回臺灣之後有很多訪談就常提到他在紐約學電影的時候的趣事
The director is Ang Lee. After he returned to Taiwan, he often mentioned interesting stories
about studying film in New York in many interviews.
所以也讓我一直都對紐約覺得很好奇
So that also made me very curious about New York for a long time.
還有呢，我沒在提到的還有，我不習慣付小費
Another thing I didn’t mention in the episode is that I’m not used to tipping.
美國的小費文化也是蠻特別的
Tipping culture in the United States is also quite unique.
謝謝你紐約
thank U New York!
As I mentioned in my podcast, my first Patreon member is actually a Taiwanese American living in NYC. It’s aslo the place where I had Honey Moon with my husband. So it really has a special place in my heart.
It must be hard to live in NYC, (the high living cost, finding an apartment, taking metro everyday…etc) It’s such a huge city. But it’s really has so much to offer for tourist. I’m so grateful for that.
I hope this episode helps!
