Fresh Off The Boat With Eddie Huang: Back in Taiwan (Video)
“This is a 5,000 year old culture. The medicine is different. We have a different way of life. And it’s not better. It’s not worse. It’s just what it is.”
– Eddie Huang
For this Fresh Off The Boat (From Vice), Eddie Huang heads back to Taiwan. The 3-parter starts with Eddie exploring metal music in Taiwan scene – face paint, screaming lessons, and furry pink pillows. In Gongguan, there’s diner and debate (on Taiwanese independence) over a home cooked meal with local metal group, CHTHONIC. All this and more. Press play and step off the boat with Eddie.
Part 2: Eddie’s in Taiwan for breakfast in the soy milk district… then to a fashion show…dining on some so-so German sausages.
On the docket for part 3: stinky tofu, ancient Eastern therapy for his bad back, and a traditional tea ceremony.
