The Shilin Night Market (on the MTR line).


Is that the market where they extract the bile from snake's gall
bladders and then skin them alive and leave them writhing around while
they die a slow death hanging from hooks on a pole?

That's one of the most vivid memories I have from my first visit to
Taiwan in the early 1980s. Should make for some interesting
photography for Alfred when he's there.
