Yingge

I visited Yingge with my aunt and grandfather yesterday, about a 30 minute drive from Toayuan.  It was a Sunday, and we arrived at around 4PM.  There were many tourists, and it was still hot (at 4PM).  Yinggee is a ceramics town.  We walked on Old Street, a looping street with many ceramics shops, upscale and low.

There is a very small shop that sells reproduced vintage candy on Old Street.  I visited this place and bought what looked like matchboxes, thinking that it was candy, since there are many candies wrapped-up to look like household things.  But, when I opened it, it was matches.


I have been reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown.  It's captivating, with multiple characters interwoven together by the situation.
