Day 4 - Yingge



Travelled by train 30 minutes south of Taipei to the town of Yingge. Yingge is known for it's pottery and ceramics. Doesn't seem like they see an awful lot of westerners cause groups of kids kept coming up giggling asking if they could take our picture with them. Felt like we were celebrities (LOL)! Throughout Taiwan there are people cooking on the sidewalks.

I don't think that anyone bothers to cook at home from the looks of it.
One of the most famous dishes is STINKY TOFU...and the name doesn't do it justice. Think of smelly gym socks times 10. It wafts through the streets and once in your noise it's like bad perfume that you can't stop smelling. Much if Yingge had the smell.



Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE rides scooters to get around Taiwan. There are hundreds of thousands zooming around the island.
