Weekend in Tainan

Myself, Katrin (my roomate), and Thelo (French intern from the Science Park) went to Tainan for the weekend. We took the High Speed Rail on Saturday morning and then took a shuttle bus into the city. Tainan is in the South-West of Taiwan and is the oldest place in Taiwan apparently. The weather was nice enough, it wasn't sunny but it didn't rain and it was warm. On Saturday we looked around the city, and went to a night market. On Sunday we got a bus (for an hour and a half) to Salt Mountain but it was a dump! I thought it was a mountain covered in salt but it was literally a big pile of salt!




Waffle shapes at the market.



The love tiny dogs here.



We wandered into the middle of a procession to a temple. Everyone was walking down the middle of the road letting off fireworks and singing. There were hundreds and hundreds of fireworks!


Which they then left in the middle of the road.



Night market food.



Scooter helmets at the market!

Would Ben like some of these?
