17/04/2007: "MARKET STALL LADY ........ selling pickled plums"

There's a tiny alley nearby which sells fresh fruit, roasted corn on the cob, fresh fish. This lady was selling marinated plums picked several months ago, each plum seasoned with a real tea leaf. A choice between sweet version or sour. Both were good.

With her husband she travels to a different market most days. It may be a week or two before returning to Taipei.

The area is the original centre of the city - fasinating. Rare to see a western face anywhere here.
