Day4

Long queue at Din Tai Fung coz we went on a Sunday! Mostly tourists though...

Needless to say - the food was pretty good.

Taking the subway to our next stop - Longshan Temple market

Heard fireworks and firecrackers going off the moment we got out onto the streets. We went into an alley where people were gathered and witnessed the setting off of a super-long firecracker! Something we can't ever see in Singapore coz it's banned. Exciting, and there were idols and banners propped about, and drumming, chanting - religious rites I think.

The dogs in Taipei are all decked out and well-groomed. Witness this Chihuahua's technicolour sweater. Better than some people in Singapore dress.

Retro game stalls by the roadside - a common sight in the night markets. Frequented by all sorts, it's an endearing sight in this technological age.
