People who are sitting and reading book are the most intriguing people I can ever meet in streets or parks. Especially if they are quite old because they’ve got a lot of stories to tell. =P

Light
December 29, 2010 – Jiufen, Taiwan
These lanterns were used to light up the night when there was no electricity yet in the old days. Some historians even attested that these lights covered with red colored paper with chinese characters on it were in fact the first portable lighting produced by man.
It was a necessity then it soon became a symbol of respect for Taiwan’s General, Guan Yu. A Lantern Festival is celebrated every year for the exploits of the general. Today? it also became a work of art for many.
Street Vendors
December 26, 2010 – Wulai, Taiwan
What welcomed us was a bunch of street foods. The postcard above is where we had our first stop. We had not gone far yet we already spending time and money on food. Do you do the same thing when you travel first time in a country or city? This only shows that we are curious at everything! And if there are no sign of danger posted, we will definitely won’t have second thought!
The guys on the left are the sellers and they are being mugged by customers, including us, ordering one stick of bread made of egg and milk one after the other. Wait, that smoke…hmmmmm… always makes up the aura of a good food market.
