Shiao Wang took his fish to the Bei Tou Market and rented a small stall next to three ladies from the Chen family who had opened a shop selling knitting supplies and teaching housewives how to knit. They scolded him demanding that he move down a few stalls so that the odor of his trade would not scare off their customers.
~I am posting from Taiwan. I have spent a restful and much needed relaxing weekend here with my brother and sister-in-law. Yesterday Tamra and I explored the market in their new neighborhood where I bought knitting yarn for the long airplane ride home and a watermelon.
I am trying to picture you with knitting needles and yarn on your lap...and a watermelon...
ReplyDeleteShiao Wang looks like he's heard it all before...
Happy days
