Night Markets
Night markets are a must experience event when you are in Taiwan. These are designated locations where local businesses set up stalls to sell food or game stalls where you can play to win prizes. These places open up for business at night, hence they are called night markets. They are invariably busy places with plenty of people. I even saw seven foreigners tonight, which ups my totals for this trip.
Night markets are fun. I went to one located in Tainan today called Dadong Yeshi - The Big East Night Market. I was in Tainan today because my cousin had a friend who was graduating from a fine arts college in the city. She was giving her graduation recital and had sent this cousin of mine a hand-written invitation. He thought since she had gone through this much trouble, it would be very bad for him not to show. So he rallied me and two other friends to attend.
After the show, we dropped off one of the girls in our party and picked up another. She is the daughter of a good family friend of mine. Having 1 year of college under her belt in Tainan, she served as our guide to delicious food like so:
We ate delcious food, played games, and collected booty at the end of the day:
I don't want to spam the blog with too many pictures. That's what albums are for. I'll find time to upload the pictures later. Wait! Where am I in these pictures? Hiding of course!
