Well fast forward to May.
(March did not hold anything special except study my tail off in the library.)
I went with Pauline and Iva to LongShan Temple.
On the way there we came across this fellow with OG mustache. So I had to snap a picture.
The temple was really big with it's own artificial waterfall.
Here is a video of the temple. Long Shan Temple Vid01
The detail on almost everything in the temple was spectacular. For instance this pillar had more dragons and animals that I could count.
Behind were more gods to pray to. I was told what each one represented, practically every aspect of your life including study can be remedied by prayed to a specific god.
After the temple the three of us headed to the night market. And wow was it long.
The market had the usual things that any other market would have.
This is actually normal, entire family using a scooter to commute. I've even seen two dogs riding where the kid is. 
random weird poster, beer and non-conventional medical treatment.Then the shops started getting a bit weird.
Sex oriented shop sailing it's wares. Two older women in their 40s were discussing the usage of a particular model of the below item pictured.
What I ended up buying was an electric mosquito/fly swatter. Looks like a plastic tennis racket but with a three layer metal mesh. the racket was rechargable for $100 TWD ~ $3.50 USD.
I love the racket, mosquitoes literally burst into flames when zapped.
