The Shida night market is a huge market spanning over a few blocks to house a wide spread of goods that can cater to every taste and requirement. The market spreads along the street next to the Taiwan Normal University and is naturally a favorite haunt for the university students. The market is a dense web of lanes that are lined with innumerable shops along their sides. Be it elegant restaurants, garment boutiques, or inexpensive wayside coffee shops, the market houses it all! (from asiarooms)

i packed extra light for this backpacking trip, which means one bag, no laptop, no fancy clothing pieces, and no more than one pair of shoes. therefore i don’t really have an outfit to show you. i’m very anal retentive when it comes to packing that i hardly ever forget anything, but this time i did make two mistakes. for one, i forgot to sync my ipod. that’s a huge deal because it was really hard to live without my new found favourite the decemberists for a week. i also made a mistake thinking that it would be warmer in the east coast. boy was i wrong!

other than a couple days of rain, the east coast was rad. i loved the clean air and water, taroko gorge, the waterfalls, the hot springs, the beach, the sceneries, being close to some of the animals, and of course, the food. even the train rides were pleasant. there were just so many things to appreciate. dammit i wish i was back there right now!
