I live in Taipei County, 20 minutes away from Taipei City by local train and about an hour by bus. What I like most living in this place is very convenient. The train station is just in front of the place where I live. We have morning and evening fresh market. The morning market is what they called "Traditional Market", it's along the alley and whatever you need fresh is all in there. The evening fresh market is located under the train station, not much vendors like in the morning. I like the evening market best, even my relatives who came here for a visit enjoyed buying anything fresh in that evening market.
Aside from the two markets, there are also lots of places to eat if I don't like to cook. Store breakfast are different from afternoon or evening store and night market. Another way to buy food are from the blue truck vendors. I haven't seen any color but blue, that's why I titled this blog "Blue Trucks in Business". Here are captured blue trucks:
Fruit Vendor @ Night
Barbecue Fresh Corn @ Night
Selling Dumplings @ Night
Selling Chinese Pancakes
Selling Peking Duck (Roasted Duck)
This truck sells fruit in season, like this time -
watermelon season!

Looks like you have lots going on where you live and lots of fresh and prepared food to choose from. I like that kind of convenience too. Looks like you and your husband are world travellers too. I love to travel myself. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDelete@ Joyful - Thanks for the comment! Sad to say I have to leave the place at the end of this year. One door is closing fr me, and I believed another door will open soon! Husband and I love to travel and see places while we're still young!
ReplyDeleteLovely glimpse of your life in Taipei. Where is your home base?

Hi Belle, thanks for the comment! My husband loves watermelon, not me! I think it's too sweet for me... Enjoy the rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteThat is what I so miss the fresh market. In the Philippines I used to go to the market early in the morning and love it. Great shot! Happy Monday!
