Culture sharing, Yingge night market and new friends from Yingges

This day has been full of new experiences :-) In the morning, we've prepared presentations of our countries and we've tried to catch some people to introduce our countries. We've been successful! We found very nice couple, we've showed them our presentations and I've actually learnt the man dance Czech dance "Polka" :-) They have been very interested in our countries and they have been very grateful. It was nice.

Our first culture listeners with us

In the afternoon, we've decided to go for a walk around San-Ying and make some pictures or short video shots. Th weather has been exhausting. I've actually gotten burn :-/ But the shots are very beautiful. I hope, we'll make a nice video from these pictures and shots. There are some examples.

Art in the village

Another interesting piece of art

Art is everywhere

You can create so many things!

Do you need a big plate?

One big coffee, please :-)

We've done it!

When we've returned back from our journey, there have been artists, who have been preparing themselves some musical instruments. The artists have played bongo drums in art village. It has been very interesting! First, they have made a promotion and than, the leader has been trying the children, how to play. The children were very talented. At the end of his lesson, they could make a short song. You can listen a short music here.

Teacher with other artists

In Yingge is every Saturday a night market. We've decided to visit it. One of the artists in our village has introduced us to her friends, who live in Yingge. They have been very nice to us. They've made for us a cup of coffee and agreed to go with us to the Yingge night market.

The market has been smaller than in Shilin, but for me, it has still been quite big. You could find here again almost everything - food, clothes, fun or many people! I've tried a pig's blood with sticky rice with peanut cover on a stick. I've been a little bit afraid about the taste, but it was really delicious :-)

I've also tried to catch my own shrimp. It's called shrimp fishing and it's quite difficult. You get a stick with hook and try to catch the shrimp to its tail.

We've also tried some typical drinks or something sweet. Taiwanese people like eating a lot. Later we've been taken to the special restaurant, where you can find the best Beef noodles. It has been so good! I liked it a lot, maybe next time, I'll order it without spicy :-D

Beef noodles!

Anyway whole day has been amazing and I'm really looking forward to my next day in Taiwan!
