  • #49 - Procrastination, Gift Giving Culture & Fears | East and West
    IN this episode we touch on procrastination and focus. The 5 second rule, gift giving culture in Taiwan and the west. We also discuss our weird fears. This episode went on an epic journey, only to discover itself. After walking three days and three nights, it found a wide, beautiful, silver surfaced lake high in the Alduin mountains. It starred at itself under the glimmering nights sky and asked the fabled question. "Who am I?". To its surprise the river answered. "You are the result of two great minds coming together, one using Chinese logic and the other English. When both minds met, magic happened. You were born, young episode...go and be who you were born to be". And with that the episode went off to fulfill its destiny as one of the best in its field. It is said people still listen to this day. Enjoy.

  • #48 - Food, Relationship & Business | East vs West
    We discuss the differences in culture between west and east. We touch on topics such as sex, business, food, schooling, relationships and more.

The Buried Bones and its crew had been sailing for thirty days and thirty nights to find Cavernous Cape. When they did the chest was guarded by hideous undead pirates from Skilly Wiggs crew. Many perished in the finding of the chest. One escaped to tell the tale. That's how this is being delivered to your ears in beautifully crafted Chinglish. Chinese and English. Enjoy.

  • #47 - Table Manners in Taiwan & UK + Lefties
    We discuss Taiwan's table manners versus England's. We also touch on other topics revolving around cultural manners, then we digress a bit about lefties and righties. This podcast was taken from the table of a giant while he slumbered. Jack, a gallant but reckless young man had climbed miles and miles to reach the ancient castle in search of an infamous golden goose. He instead found a golden podcast next to a sleeping giant. The podcast would give gifts of Chinese gold whenever you listened hard enough, Jack wanted it to himself.

  • #46 - Japanese & Taiwanese Culture & Mouthfull!
    In this episode we discuss the differences (in our opinion)between Japan and Taiwanese culture and some other interesting tidbits. This episode was made by the legendary Japanese podcast maker, Hattori Podzo. He only creates one podcast every ten years, but folds the sounds ten times, forming a unique and miraculous auditory experience for the user. He calls it tempered sound. We call it genius. All selected and delivered to your ears in soothing yet refreshing Chinglish. Chinese and English.

  • #44 - Superstitions, 迷信 Míxìn, Reincarnation & Pride
    In this episode we go deep. real deep. Into the depths of superstitions and then reincarnation. We discuss the Taiwanese superstitions and others from around the world. We talk about family and relationships at the end which ends up on some reasonably sound advice (in our opinion) about staying passionate about each other.This Chinese and English episode was discovered in a shipwreck, deep in the Atlantic ocean. It was found by Russian deep sea divers and hauled up over six miles of crushing Atlantic water and onto the deck of a research vessel. They ran various experiments on it, until finally discovering its secrets. All of those secrets are revealed using the ancient language aptly named Chinglish.
