Night Market @ 麦寮

After sticking around for almost 10 days, my work here is finally done. Taiwan is nice and all, but when you are away for that long... and I must admit that my productivity was on the decline.

One of the guys at work offered to bring me to the night market at the nearby town. While I was initially hesitant, the trip turned up really fun. The company was great, and there was a number of interesting sights.

There were a number of game stations, that I had not seen in night markets before. There were a lot of small pinball machines, and a row of basketball tossing machines. The latter had been featured in some Taiwanese variety shows, where the guests would challenge each other on the maximum number of successful tosses within the time limt.



There were also some game stations where people needed to catch fishes or prawns with nets or with small hook devices.


There were also plenty of food stalls, serving all sorts of delights. It was a lot of eating, a lot of looking around, and a lot of laughter. This was really what I had needed.
