a night trip to bitan

went to bitan, just south of taipei, last night.  had been there before, but i had forgotten my camera.  it's a beautiful place just 20 minutes from the bustle of the city.  and just across the bridge, an amazing sausage vendor.  for NT$50 (US$1.60), you get a huge taiwanese sausage, wrapped in glutinous rice, topped with garlic, kimchi, cilantro, ginger, and practically every spice you can think of.  yum.  to be honest, it's like a taiwanese hot dog, where the bun is the rice and the dog is the sausage.  but much better tasting than the american kind.  and i have pics!
