台灣 / New Year Vacation, 2/2

(Click on photos to enlarge)




Arriving at Kaoshiung Airport.








Waiting for my fresh made potstickers (煎餃).














Afternoon in Chi Jing (旗津).
















































菜市隨便照的. What's up with those people who put pets on scooters?






















Taichung (台中).













First stop -- Fong Jia night market (逢甲夜市).






















Next day -- Dong Hai University (東海大學).


























































Taipei (台北). And the New Year shopping madness that is Di Hua Street (迪化街).



What better way to create absolute chaos by handing out $1 紅包 in the streets?





"Wall-to-wall" doesn't even come close to describing the actual scene...





















































It's easy to be overwhelmed by the sensory assault on 迪化街, and I wonder how many people bothered to look up at these historic buildings...













The New Year shopping madness continues at South Gate Market (南門市場)...




























Tian Hou Gong Temple (天后宮) in Tainan (台南).



























Fried oyster rolls.
台南蚵捲.







Hot pot at Chicken City.
土雞城的火鍋.
