It must have been "Foreigner Day" at the Taichung Harbor fish market today...

Michael Turton went to the fish market with his family and friends this morning and posted his pictures while we were at the fish market with my sister-in-law, brother-in-law, and their son. He's got some beautiful shots, and I'll try not to post "repeats" of his pictures...

When Michael and his family went, there weren't many people there. But by the time we got there...



This fish was just taking a rest--I think it had heat stroke, like I had.


These fellas look kind of prehistoric... From what I could find on the web, they're called "Chikamekintoki" in Japanese...


There were some devout Buddhists at the fish market today, buying (and asking other people to buy) live fish so they could release them back into the water. They didn't appear particularly successful... (They're the people in the back holding up the red sign with a picture of a lotus on it.)


"Dragon's Intestines"--actually the intestines of mambo fish.


Our nephew found another use for the styrofoam coolers Michael mentions...

OK. What's our next outing gonna be, Michael? (heh)

'Twas quite a coincidence that we both ended up at the fish market on the same day, within hours of each other. Great minds...
