Phil and Hannah in Taiwan: Go Karts and Night Market

This week on Tuesday we went Go Karting and this time they were actually open :). It was really fun, the go karts are gas powered and thus a lot faster than any I have driven back home. There were 19 from both our congregation and a few from English and 2 brothers visiting from California. It costs 300nt ($10.72 USD) for about 10min which depending on how you do is time for 12 to 15 laps. At the end they give you a print out that shows your times and what place you came in. Since there were so many of us we divided up into 4 groups. Hannah and I both came in last place. :)
Here are our Times, our best lap has a box around it:

Hannah Car #3

Phil Car #10

As you probably can tell by the times Hannah was really nervous and was afraid to go too fast. At one point two sisters were coming up on her to pass and i watched her pull over to the side and slow down as if to say "Go around I'm not going to race you" :)

Go Kart Rules (interesting English if you can make it out)

On Wednesday we met with a group of sisters who took us to the night market near Feng Jia (our school). Even though it was right there we had never gotten the courage up to go. it was pretty fun though. Tons of strange food but most of what we tried was pretty good. Also something kinda fun about it is that since they are all pretty much street vendors they expect you to negotiate on the price so you can normally get a better deal than the sticker price (which is already alot lower than it would be in stores). We got Hannah a robe since our apartment is so cold, we had seen the same kind in stores but they wanted over $100 usd for them we got this one for 480nt or $17.14. I also got 3 dress shirts for about the same price.
