sunday night market





got up a bit before 9 and took shower quickly. I didn’t have to be anywhere but wanted to go there early to work on the project. I put my washing in the washing machine and left there before it was done. Stopped by at the bakery and got one bread and one cake. Got there around 10:30 Jos was there. I shared my cake with her. I was so t happy with the print and the paper. It looked very professional and I thought I could just exhibit this as it is. Well, cause I got two prints I still have one copy to display at home. Started to cut the edge of it. Took me so long and it was already lunch time.
We were going to have last night’s curry but there was no rice left to cook. Cha went out to buy some rice. He came back followed by his mom. She brought cooked rice for us. I told her to take some curry home. Sin came. She needed to get title, size, material, and concept of my work for the exhibition. Sue came for lunch.
Went back to folding. Got a bit tired so decided to cut transparent paper. The guy came for painting. Jos helped me cutting paper. I noticed that cha was calling her with different name. she told me her English name on the first day and I didn’t realize that until today. Cha was too tired and decided to have a nap.
Shsh and her mom came with a dog. It was tiny. Jos, well, Yj joined them and started run around. Cha was still asleep in the room. They actually went in there a couple of times but he didn’t wake up..
I just realized that I hadn’t put my washing out so I went home for that. told Yj that I was coming back there and she was happy but when I went back there she was gone.
The guy who came to my workshop, well he didn’t really join but he dropped in. Cha went out with him to get some sweets. Having a sweet tooth? Great!
They came back with some cakes but I couldn’t stop folding. I was told to stop. They gave extra cheesecake for us. I was saying that I haven’t learned much Chinese because it’s too hard. Talked about it for a bit. Koy dropped in. he joined us and had a piece of cake. It got dark and they left. Cha said that there is a night market on Sunday. We decided to have dinner there. Went home for a second and went back there. Cha didn’t know that I had left there. I followed him to the market. There were so many store at the market. took so many photos there. I don’t have to ask people if I can take a photo of them. Only place I had to was this place where they had two good looking cats. CC said that there is a sign saying you have to pay to take photos of them. They said it’s ok anyway. I wanted to take photos of people eating steak cause it looked so hot. They said it’s ok and waiting for me to take it but it didn’t work. It said that my memory card was full. I didn’t know how to delete the photos so it took a bit to figure it out. We bought some sushi. They were very carefully made and looked very beautiful. The girl who was selling them could speak a bit of Japanese. I had to have a photo with her for some reasons.. we also bought pancake and noodles. We found oden too. The guy said it was originally from Taiwan and became very popular in Japan. Now they came back from Japan. I wanted to try it but the soup had meat in it. Well I could use the portable chopstick for the first time. They are great! There was a famous singer there but I didn’t know her well I don’t really know any famous Taiwanese anyway. We got a bit tired and left there. I saw this guy walking towards the market and he smiled. I thought I met him somewhere. It was the politician I saw at the big party. I said to cha that I wondered if he remembered me but he said that politicians would have to smile to people anyway and yes he is right. I had no idea which way we were heading. It wasn’t that far from the central town but I wouldn’t have been able to get back there.
We decided to have a drink somewhere. There was a Chinese Opera near the temple so we decided to check it out. There were too many people and we couldn’t see much. We went in the temple. My shoe came off and we could see the guy who is organizing this pilgrimage. I asked several questions like why they leave at night etc. the guy said because the god said that. We went upstairs and I asked cha if I can take photo there. He said we can ask them. There were these wooden pieces there to communicate with the god there. If you see them both facing up that means yes and you have to get that three times to confirm the answer. There were so much to see tonight. Said good bye to cha there and went home.
When I got home, Pr was on computer in my room so I decided to watch TV a bit and it was already 12:00.
