Seager Family with friends in Taiwan! This is one of the markets with a bunch of little shops. A lot of places sell squid on a stick or eggs soaked in horse urin or other such items, but I chose not to be brave and try. The squid smells so bad it made me gag just walking past it. When we were lost on the beach Kilee and I kept gagging because there are just a ton of these squid vendors and it just reeks of ..... something putrid. Story of being lost below:

We had to take two taxis everywhere we went because of the size of our group, so my brother would translate to the first taxi where to go, and the second was supposed to follow. On one occasion though, Kilee, Daniel, Blake, Ryker and I were in the first cab and we were supposed to be meeting on the beach. Unfortunately the second cab went his own way (which is common among the crazy driving in Taiwan) and we either ended up on opposite parts of the beach or arrived at drastically different times or whatever and got seperated. We walked the beach asking everyone if they spoke English and nobody knew what we were saying and would answer "big eyes" and point at my boys. Finally, after a while, we found a girl who spoke English and she called us a taxi who arrived at the same time as the van from our hotel with the Chinese speaking brother! Whew
