Taiwan has a complex cultural blend embedded in its history that has given it a character unlike any other place in the world.

In the first of three Fresh Off the Boat: Taiwan episodes, Eddie gets hopped up on betel nut, gives a survey at his favorite delicacies at Shilin night market, and goes late-night shrimping. 

We found ourselves in some interesting scenarios, and they all highlight the endearing sense of humor that pulsates through Taiwanese culture. If there’s one thing we came away with, it was that Taiwan knows how to have fun.
