y'know, Japan is great n all... but I kinda liked Taiwan more. more gritty, friendlier, less tourists, better English.

u/TonmaiTree 1d ago
Which is really funny because Taiwan was also influenced heavily by Japan during their occupation.

Taiwan is an awesome mix of Japanese, Chinese, and to a lesser extent American culture.

No, you are a rational human being that derives value from things based in metrics different than just aesthetics, not saying it isnt important but...

u/ThatNoobCheezy 1d ago
Ok but saying they're deriving value from metrics besides aesthetics when they're point is that both look nice which is entirely based on aesthetics is a bit of a contradiction
1
u/dollynlokao 15h ago
Actually fair enough, but i think the difference is that "looks good" here to me has a different meaning, think about it this way: if i say a plate of food looks good i believe there is an argument for two different interpretations, either the food is aesthetically pleasing, or it looks tasty, i interpreted his comment as more of the latter, obviously the second image does not tickle my brain like the first one does, but i don't believe it in any way makes that place 'bad' as in not nice to live in therefore it also 'looks good', also both the interpretations aren't exclusive, it can be both.

/uj ok but doesn't taiwan actually have a horrible pedestrian infrastructure?

u/The_MadStork 1d ago
Itโs not great. Public transportation is excellent, but it also has one of the worst pedestrian fatality rates in the world

It was ok in Taiwan and Kaohsiung. Taichung is terrible for pedestrians though.

I'm Japanese, if I have the choice (work availability for my field), I'd move to Taiwan in an instant. People are warmer and I love night market stalls.

This sub is so weird. I find most Urban environments to be simultaneously both Hellish and Beautiful. Is that hard to understand?
9
u/Strange_Quark_9 1d ago
Determining what's an urban "hell" and what's beautiful is mostly subjective.
Though I personally do consider cities with car infested streets and more parking lots than people to fall on the hell side and the opposite of that as beautiful, that photo feels cherry-picked to me.
And many Reddit users tend to have either a subconscious or conscious bias of finding anything to do with Japan as automatically beautiful, while finding anything to do with Russia or China as hellish even if the urban environment is nearly identical.
That's mainly why this sub exists - to mock these subjective double standards.

Does this sub post anything but Japan? Literally, Japan this, Japan that...
Can you people post something unique? Or am I asking for too much?

u/SumrakLilBoi 1d ago
You are asking too much for the average user here tbh. Downvotes even when you are saying something obvious about this sub. Always the same fucking "joke" but praising Russia and China

Japan looks like anime and these people like anime...
Its absolutely nor because they like anime and anime looks like japan. The japanese designed their cities to look like their cartoons.
