Taiwan Immigrants' Global News Network-Malaysian YouTuber residing in Taiwan for 9 years shares cultural differences between Taiwan & Malaysia

A YouTuber from Malaysia, Ccwhy Yao (西西歪), came to Taiwan in 2014 and got married in Taiwan. Having a clear goal of becoming a YouTuber since he was studying in the university, he has been working diligently towards achieving this objective with strong enthusiasm.

Being a YouTuber for 9 years, Ccwhy Yao created a YouTuber Channel “KaoBeiCold (甜度冰塊)” with his friend first and then started his own channel “Ccwhyao (西西歪)” to share cultural differences between Malaysia & Taiwan.

Ccwhy said that he could persevere in working in this field is because of his strong “Passion” and “Interest”. When he was still a student, he would not care about the click-through rate and video views. However, too many people entered this field now and it was inevitable that YouTubers would care about the video engagement, but he still keeps his initial goal of taking videos with topics he is interested in.

In this episode of “New Immigrants in Taiwan” column, Ccwhy invited Anand, a Malaysian Indian living in Taipei who is also the chef of @mamak.corner.taiwan (Mamak檔). They talked about personal experiences residing in Taiwan and a tolerant environment for people of different ethnic groups offered by Taiwan.

In the video, Ccwhy asked Anand how long it takes for him to adapt to life in Taiwan. Anand said that he found Taiwanese very friendly and they often take initiatives to assist them. Anand also shared that in Taiwan, he did receive attention from passers-by because of his skin color, but he would view it positively and believes that passersby look at him out of curiosity.
