The Markets~

I totally forgot to put it up yesterday.

I was bored yesterday morning, so I decided to go with gran to the markets to buy some stuff. I haven't been to one in ages. Basically, like night markets, the morning markets is also a whole street (or few) of small stores. However, unlike night markets, which mainly sell food and small things like clothes and phone decorations, morning markets mainly sells groceries, produce and meat so people can cook.

I haven't been to one in ages. Used to go to the one in Sui Nan. This one was even bigger. I must say how cheap food is in Taiwan. Even with the increase in vegetable prices because of bad weather, you can still buy radishes/turnips for less than $1 US a kilo. Clams are about $3 US a kilo, etc... As usual, the street is filled with pedestrians and motorcycles. They stop at the stores they need before going on their way again. Makes you wonder why there is so little accidents inolving cars and pedestrians, eh? They are used to it.

Didn't bring a camera this time as I needed to help carry the stuff we bought, I think I'll bring it nect time I go, as I am bound to. We sure bought a lot of stuff as well. Very cheap too. Like wages here =/, I'm glad I worked in NZ as I can spend twice as much as people in Taiwan, lol.

You are lucky living in Taichung.
Everything in Taipei is higher than everywhere south than Taipei.
