Our first night in Kaohsiung we visited the Night Market (Pictures 1&2). It was like a festival in full swing condensed into a small area with the smell of food cooking, vendors selling clothing and jewelry and all ages of people playing Bingo, ring toss, dart balloon popping etc. We stayed until it closed at 1:00 a.m. when suddenly everyone left. The next day we took a tour of Kaohsiung in an all-day downpour, visiting various points of interest and ending the day with "hot pot" which you will see Vivian eating. Our hotel overlooked the harbor and Duane enjoyed watching ships line up to come in. Our tour guide said some ships must wait several days for their turn to enter the harbor. The hallway next to our hotel room on the 52nd floor overlooked a huge banquet hall and I got a picture of the wedding reception from high above. The next day we took the train to the east side of Taiwan. We arrived at a hotel with a hot springs. What a balm for weary muscles! You can see sweet potatoes cooking in a special tub of boiling water at the hot springs.
