dihua street (迪化街) market

happy new year to everybody! sorry, it's been a while since i have posted anything, i was on vacation in sri lanka for a month. since this is a taiwan blog i won't upload any images here, i am hoping to post photos from that trip on my pbase account soon.

in the meanwhile here are some shots i have taken last sunday at the very busy dihua street (迪化街) market, which sells goodies for the upcoming lunar new year. i met up with some guys from the taiwan photoclub you can follow the link for more photos from others...



two more weeks until the start of the holiday but the street was absolutely packed.



the place is just as noisy as it is crowded..



you have to stock up on snacks for the holidays.



sweet sezame seed puffs... one of the few taiwanese sweets that i acyually like..



some health products...



squid food (?)....

the haves, the have not, and the doesn't want to have...



candied fruit is a local favorite... strawberries are now in season.



taking a break from it all..
