I captured a lot of photographs of Jhongli or Zhongli City; below are few I've chosen to share, including a few of my birthday cake (thanks Helen!). Our hotel was in walking distance to food, shopping, and the city's night market. I LOVE night markets, they remind me of a Japanese festival mixed with a shopping arcade and they go all... night... long... (yes ladies, eat your heart out). Night markets are a cornucopia of vendors: food, clothing, children's games, you name it, you might just find it at a night market. The variety of food is astonishing and most street-food is on a stick or comes with one. Okay, enough with the night market talk, there will be posts later on regarding us visiting some of the most famous in Taiwan.
Scooters were everywhere, more numerous than cars. We were told the street lights are suggestions (not the law); however, with the number of vehicles on the road, we didn't see any accidents (wish I could say the same regarding Utah drivers on the I-15).
SWEET SHOP! YUM!
Buns with shredded pork on-top; very tasty.
Taiwan sweets; although they look sugary, the sweetness was very subtle.
We found the McDonalds; the sausage McMuffin with egg was close to the U.S. version; however, the bun was way to soft and unburnt to be the same.
B-D-A-Y C-A-K-E ! ! !
Ken punched the hell out of this video game machine.
Mail-lady... of course on a SCOOTER!
Yeah, that is a BIG noodle bowl.
Renhai Temple - it is noted for its traditional Chinese temple architecture.
The night market!
Shop after shop, down the middle of the road.
Smoke shops were everywhere. We were told they are usually staffed with an attractive young girl to entice costumers to chose their shop over the one down the road.
