Taiwan: The King of Street Food

During my visit to Taiwan, I paraded up the country from Kaohsiung to Taipei.

The Taiwanese are the heavy weight champions when it comes to their street food.

Needless to say, I was on a mission to try and visit as many of these markets that I physically could do in a few days.

My first stop was Liouhe Night Market, this market spans from Zhonshan Road to Zili Road in the city of Kaohsiung, and there are over 170 stalls selling Taiwanese snacks, fashionable clothing, accessories and folklore games.

This market is popular with the locals and international tourists alike, given that it is also just one minutes walk from the KRT Formosa Boulevard station. Easy access baby.

A few of the things that are most popular at this market are; Zheng's papaya milk, fresh seafood (so fresh that some are cooked alive and kicking), and BBQ food.

Where I stayed in Marrakesh Part 2

Forget booking that hotel, when you're visiting Marrakesh to really experience the culture you have to stay in a Riad, which is a traditional Moroccan house with an interior garden or courtyard.

There are over 700 Riads in Marrakesh, so plenty of choice! My advice is to book directly through the Riad, I made the mistake of not doing this and was charged a wee bit more than I should have been.

Here was where we stayed.
