This is the dried foods market, where you can buy tea, dried fruits, veggies, fish, or mushrooms, candy, herbs, medicine, and all kinds of other stuff. Ryan and I stopped in today to get some apple chips, and found that the whole market was making offerings to their ancestors today. (As I mentioned earlier, it is Ghost Month.) There was a group of devotees walking up and down singing (in a wailing, whining sort of style), an altar set up for the main ceremony, a stage where three more scantily-clad girls danced to pop music, and of course all of these personal offering tables. It was quite the afternoon!
