- And now I'm in the old mining town of Jiufen.
There seems to be a lot going on
so let's go see what's in store.
What I loved most about Taiwan
is that there's life on the streets.
There's so much going on,
people are cooking food right before your eyes,
they're selling things, there's bright lights,
it's just so alive here.
Free samples, this is a taro root.
It is chewy, sweet, it's good,
and they're making it right there.
It looks like a cute little froggy thing
but really it's a flute.
This guy plays it like a master,
we'll see if I can do it.

There's a big crowd here and that means
that I think they're making some tasty food.
Peanut ice cream in a spring roll thing,
it's good, that's really good.
And when you're done walking through the market,
you're treated to this amazing view.
And even though it's misty and raining,
I still think it's pretty beautiful.
It's been a really fun day.
We got to see some beautiful scenery,
we got to check out a fun market,
and now I'm gonna end it off with a warm glass of tea.
