Ashleigh and I enjoyed a quick trip to the local morning market today. I don’t shop there as often as I’d like because my Saturdays (the only day I can go since I work during the week) are often busy with other events. However, I do love the market because of the great prices, the fresh produce, and all the friendly people. Shopping at the morning market is a unique cultural experience every time. I hope you’ll get a glimpse of small town Taiwan from this video (below) and the pictures (above). Enjoy!
Looks like Qufu!
Wow, it’s so much more open than the markets in Oaxaca. The big market is super crowded too. I think I’d enjoy shopping in your market more than in mine.
Isn’t Oaxaca a big city? Dashe is SMALL, and so is our market. But you’re right that it is pretty open and easy to navigate. It’s a nice place.
Hey Christel,
Can you ship over some fresh dumplings and maybe a slice of winter melon when you get a chance? Holly and I just watched your morning market video, and guess which video was next on the Youtube list: the one from the Coopers! :-)
Fond memories,
Matt
I sure wish I could bring back those things (and MORE) for you. I imagine you must be missing the cuisine a lot. Have you looked to cook Taiwan-style yet?
