It is a little surprising that someone as young and attractive as Olivia has such passion for the crowded and noisy night markets of . She has a simple reason for her love of shopping at these lively spots, the opportunity of bargaining, bargaining, and more bargaining.

We can tell how sincere she is about her hobby when we met at the marketplace. Even though the primary objective was doing the interview, she purchased a belt, a pair of shoes. We also had a very reasonably priced meal of Thai food before we turned on the microphone.

It’s true that there is no place like the Taiwanese night markets in the world, and there is at least one in every city and every town of our island. You can get a fair selection of almost everything you need on a daily basis, and a great variety of Taiwanese cuisine, or even just to hang out and kill time with your buddies, the Taiwanese night markets will satisfied your every need.

There is an article about the Taiwanese night markets in The Bala Daily; we really think it is worth reading if you’re interested.

Olivia不是夜店女王,她是夜市女王。像Olivia這樣年輕、具吸引力的女孩,卻深深被喧鬧、擁擠、五味雜陳的台灣夜市吸引,因為在夜市血拼,可以不停地玩一個附帶的遊戲,殺價! 殺價! 殺價!

而且,Olivia是真心的喜歡逛夜市,雖然是約好做訪問,但是她還是精打細算的買了一條皮帶、一雙鞋子。還有,訪問前一餐經濟實惠的泰國料理。

的確,全世界找不到類似台灣夜市這樣的地方,幾乎每一個城鎮都會有一個、甚至好幾個。無論你想買任何生活必需品,或是想吃豐富多樣的台灣小吃,甚至只是想與朋友打發時間,台灣夜市都會滿足你的需要。

The Bala Daily有一篇關於台灣夜市的文章,我們認為很值得一讀!

Many years ago, Mr. Gary Wolfer once served in the US Air Force and was stationed in Taichung; the central region of Taiwan. Now his son Andy (left) has been living in for almost seven years. He teaches kindergarten in Taipei, and this photo was taken last summer when the Wolfers visited Danshuei, a very well known travel attraction that is packed full of history. We hope you enjoy Taiwan like the Wolfers did.

Andy(照片中左)來自紐澤西,在美國交了一位台灣女友後,便來台灣教英文並且定居,這是我們做了許多採訪後,認為最典型的“美國人來台灣”的故事之一;不過Andy的父親,年輕時服役於美國空軍,曾經駐防過台中的清泉崗機場,一家人與台灣都有緣份。Andy認為他在家鄉被認為優點的一些禮貌,例如幫女士服務,在台灣似乎不太受到歡迎。

David spent most of his life on this island. He moved to with his parents at the age of 3 to help kids with polio in Bingdong. David later returned to The States for college and worked as a stockbroker in Seattle. His wife Jenny is a nurse; they eventually decided to move back to Taiwan after a few years. He said that if you enjoy the outdoors, you have to see how beautiful Taiwan is.

David也是台北美國學校的老師,中文講的很好,四歲隨父母來台,後來回美國念大學,畢業後還是選擇帶妻兒來台定居。主持人Henry也在節目中半開玩笑的告訴大家自己回台灣的原因。

Mark is a teacher in . His Taiwanese experience is: been in for quite a while, a rebellious guy that learned to bow and smile with a peace of mind. He said that is a must see, and do not forget to try Fang’s dumpling in Tian-Mu!

Mark是台北美國學校的老師,他說在台灣住久了,他的脾氣都變溫和了。
