Ilha Formosa

"To the Japanese, the island was 'Takasag'. Later the Chinese name 'Taiwan' was adopted. In 1590, Linschotten, a Dutch navigator on a Portuguese vessel, sailing along the west coast of the island was so impressed with the lush beauty of the coastal plan that he located the island on the chart as 'Ilha Formosa', the Beautiful Island." Formosa, W.G. Goddard

Pictures Ahoy!!

Market Day!
Walking through the streets lined with stalls full of wares, there was so much to take in! The colors were enchanting, bright and cheerful. The people sang there calls to "Buy! Buy our goods!" I was reminding of the scene in Oliver "Who Will Buy?" Every time Mom or I stopped to take a picture we were bombarded with "Buy my fruit!" or "Take my picture!" The scooters raced down the road and around the stalls. Mom and I weren't used to being so close to them. Here are a bunch of pictures of the Market Day (Friday).
