Kaohsiung is a small town the size of a large city. It was a lot of fun, the night markets here really stole the show. Some of the stuff (read: food) here I’ve never seen anywhere. Also, as further evidence of the inherent kindness of the Taiwanese, they have by far the fattest stray animals we’ve ever seen. You’ll see them waddling around the night markets, bellies dragging on the pavement. You know they ain’t goin’ hungry. We had some good walks all around the city – lots of free standing artwork and sculpture, we hiked a bit up a mountain and visited an animal shelter. Also, Shefali got mugged by a monkey. We made the classic mistake of having food on us while walking into monkey mountain – one of them started pursuing her so she gave up the goods. Kind of reminds me of how we met but I think in our case Shefali was the one doing the pursuing.
