another quiet day as new year period. today is lunar jan 2 day thats when the married women go back to their parents. so more cars on the road but still not much stores open.
we went to 3rd market today to have a look around
so in taichung there are 4 daily markets they are the biggest ones.
1st market - sells fruit, veg and meats and lots of chinese medicines
2nd market - sells fruit, veg and meats and little eateries
3rd market - sells more clothing/shoes
5th market - sells fruit, veg and meats with rows of little eateries
obviously there is no 4th market because 4 has the same sound as death.
there are smaller markets around that open up around sunset and others at sunrise.
so we got some soupy noodles for lunch!
went to high speed rail station to meet with pupu. lots of funny little things at the station. a bumblebeeeee
cardboard train! hippo thinks he is captain
cardboard Eiffel tower. hippo is determined to climb to the top to be like godzilla
sat in the sun with a nice afternoon snack waiting for pupu.
went out with distant cousins for dinner. shrimp cocktail to start off, hippo already drunk from whiskey.
after dinner went for a walk around at the night markets.
xoxo hippo
