T:TiMe: Chapter 22 pictures!!!

Saturday, November 21st
Fengjia Night Market in Taichung.
We met our friends, Andre and Torry, in Taichung and rode to the market together. We had such a fun time shopping and spending money!

Me and the girls on the train to Taichung! A weekly occurrence....

Help! Lost scooter....When we were waiting for Andre, we found this young lady checking out the license plate numbers on the ground. Her scooter had possibly been impounded. Ha, that's how they do it here. If you park illegally, or something of the sort, the cops will confiscate your scooter and leave its license plate number on the ground so you know who took it and where to find it. Simple enough? What if it rains?

Night Market FUN!
People are EVERYWHERE!

Being herded like cattle!

I've mentioned the dogs haven't I??? The Asians love their dogs...you can tell that these little guys are spoiled by their owners.

So, we originally went to the market in search for some souvenirs, but the only souvenirs we found was a whole lot of food!

First: Baby Mangoes > covered in sugar...a real treat, but only an appetizer.

Second: Hamburger stuffed crust bread > I have no better way to describe this...hot and ready! Yum.

....oh there's more...
Third: Creamy Papaya Milk > Held us over for about two seconds.
Fourth: Chocolate covered bananas WITH PEANUTS > Frozen bananas might I add, tasted like ice cream!

...we're still going strong...
Fifth: MEXICAN BURRITOS; yes, we found a Mexican vendor. Not as good as we have back home, but after five months, we'd take anything.

Sixth: Icey ice cream > We needed a little something sweet after gobbling down the spicy.

Seventh: Last but not least, Dragon Soup Dumplings > They were stemmed just for us. We've been searching and searching for these, so we just had to stop in for some. The dumplings are filled with soup, which you have to suck out before eating the actual dumpling! Tasty!

...Hanna was having a hard time eating these treats in front of a crowd. Notice Andre holding up the divider.

Alright, so it may not seem that we had time to shop for anything else, with the food and all, but no worries....we did. I just can't show any of my fun purchases, because they are possible Christmas presents!

Sunday, November 22rd

We met our friend Julia today after church to chat and visit. While we were waiting for her at the train station, we walked around and saw a little bit of this:

A usual sighting: Little old ladies pushing their carts of garbage. What happens when this generation passes on? I certainly don't see the younger generations spending their time rummaging.

Not sure how this guy is even balancing on his little cycle.

I used to find so many scooters such as these, AMAZING, now it's just so ordinary.

Translations never come out quite the same...

MARYLAND LANGUAGE SCHOOL STUDENTS!

Wish joined us at school today...she's only three. What a cute little thing. She has a broader vocabulary then some of our brightest SPE's...I sure hope she comes back.
Jimmy, Evance, me, Jimmy, and WISH!

Me and the Jimmy's....I adore them both. The boy I tell most of my stories about happens to be Mr. Slouch.

Mimi and Scott. She has to put up with all these boys by herself.

Sweet Flora...

Jimmy showing of his teeth, or lack there of...Hanna just pulled out his tooth last week!

MAX AND VIVIANS!
Of course I have to post some pictures of this place...I should be getting royalties or something for how much I promote these guys. We love eating at this place--can't go a week without it!

'Oh My Gosh' guy...
