Day 6- Chaing Kai-Shek Memorial Hall/Jade & flower market

This morning we went to the Chaing Kai-Shek Memorial Hall. It had an amazing history of his service with tons of photos. The size of the hall and grounds is really amazing as you will see in the photos. The two orange roofed buildings are a theatre and concert hall.

Next we went to the handicraft market for souvenirs and a buffet restaurant for lunch. You fill your plate and they charge you based on weight. No names on the foods so a little guessing is involved but all went well. I got a little deep fried ball which tasted like a donut but I forgot to ask Alex what they called it. I think I tried some kind of pickled squid or octopus. Anything pickled tastes good to me. Love the pickled cucumbers!

Next on to the jade and flower market. You get to negotiate here which was fun. It is good Danny is not a girl or I would have had to buy more there for the future. I did get a beautiful pair of earnings. Ed (strategically?) went on ahead (with the money) and I almost did not get to get the matching bracelet but he reappeared and I demanded cash! Just kidding!

Nap time because we are going to the Snake Alley Night Market at 8 pm. Ed is usually falling asleep at this time each night so this could be interesting!
