Last night we found a night market that is near our apartment. We heard and read all about night markets before we came to Taiwan and the night market definitely lived up to everything we heard about. CROWDED, cheap eats, cheap clothes and items, and weird food. Tonight we decided to go back and really explore everything the night market had to offer.
BUT FIRST....One of the first things Chris bought from the store was a basketball. The past few nights we saw a hoop court with a few guys playing at night because it is way cooler during the night. Chris couldn't take the temptation any longer so he brought his basketball today and shot a few hoops on our way to the night market. The guys playing were in love with him...they tried to get him to play 4 on 4 but he told them he would be back later after we went to the night market. Before he left he dunked a shot and all the guys were so impressed. They were like "AGAIN AGAIN!!!" It was hilarious. Now we are back from the night market and he is down at the court while I am writing this post.
Anyways, so the night market is so crowded. We haven't bought anything because we don't know what half the stuff is. There is full chicken legs with toe nails and all, full squids, and other things we couldn't even guess what it was. We did buy some fruit though. The fruit we have tried so far has been AMAZING! The mangos are to die for. The watermelon we bought was delicious, even though it was orange inside. So tonight we bought more fruit and we even bought some that we have no idea what it is or how to cut and eat it? I know, I know...we are getting so adventurous lol.
