Katy (in the yellow shirt) took Jessie (in blue shirt) and I, along with her family, out on the town . . . of Shi-jr. First we went to the "night market," which is a cross between a flea market and a carnival. They have them all over Taiwan and Taipei has a gigantic famous one that I have yet to visit. It is stalls upon stalls of games, so much food and things to buy. Katy feed us and made an effort to only have us sample "special" things. Here in the photo we had this delicious shaved ice from a block of dry ice that was creamy with passion fruit topping. By far one of the most exciting desserts. Then we went to another part of town for "special" octopus balls and to this arcade where we went into an interactive photo booth. There no words that can really explain the incredible experience and sheer advance technology. This all happened in an hour and half.
When I got back to Dream Community, Jeri showed pictures from when they went to a dairy farm with the Piyuma Tribe in the Southeast, which seemed fun-er than any carnvial I've been to; that included people running in giant inflatable balls like a hamster, not to mention many cow sculptures for photo opportunities. Based on these two experiences (in addition to the last week and a half), Taiwan is amazing. It seems that people just eat tastey food all the time and have solid fun any time of night or day. Of course, only when they are not working six days a week and too many hours in one day.
