Not far from the Grand Hotel, Taipei's largest "night market" takes place. Night markets are traditional Taiwanese shopping bazaars that go on well into the evening and can become quite busy. It is a great place to people watch and enjoy the sights and sounds of bustling Taiwanese night life. I relied on Sunny and Michael to introduce me to local cuisine that I would not have easily tried on my own. Exotic tastes of local fruits, candies, tapioca drinks, and local crab and spring rolls were all on the menu. Instead of going to a sit-down restaurant we spent our time going from stall to stall, snacking along the way and enjoying the shopping opportunities. A great evening out on-the-town!
Green mango and other exotic fruits
Eating an authentic spring roll... not the deep fried small variety available at home
Candies to take home and have with a cup of tea...
A tasty and exotic fruit that unfortunately I don't know the name of...
Ok, I can't mention one of my trips without a reference to motor vehicles:

Caught a Taiwanese MINI Cooper at rest near the Shi'lin Night Market.
