新士林夜市失風味

The other day, reading the Sun Newspaper, I was sadden by the report about the new Shilin Night market.  (新士林夜市失風味)

I just found out that the Shinlin night marketing I visited a few times in my previous Taipei trips was only a temporary location.

Although I am excited to have a new place to visit next time I travel to Taipei, the old temporary market will always be a treasured memory.

These are pictures I took in 2008 of the night market. In 2008, it had a carnival like stalls for fun and games. They are no longer found in 2011.

Now these are 2011's picture. :) Not too different from 2008.  But as of now, this part of the market is moved to a newer and permanent location.
