Welcome to Kaoshiung's night market, open from 5PM till 5AM. Lots of people and lots of things to eat, half of which are not recognisable.

Not all the night markets in Taiwan are food ones, today I went to one in Taipei which was heaven for shoe shopper. They all are, however, on pedestrian streets were the shops expand on the streets.

Whatever the food looks like you should certainly try it. It's what we have been eating for the past week and up until know I heard no complaints, and even more, you can eat for 2EUR/day.

There is one thing a little bit annoying though : it smells like stinky tofu everywhere... And only if you have smelled THAT smell once in you life you can understand how uncomfortable that is. I'm French and like smelly cheese, stinky tofu is just like smelly feet times 1,000. But what is even more annoying is that I have been willing to try stinky tofu for quite a long time now (it is supposedly good for the skin but in chinese food it is always good for someting, especially if it is repulsive) and despite the fact that you can always smell it, you can never locate the stand where you should buy it.

So night markets? A lot people, fantastic taste and dreadful smells.
