Taiwan Trip Day 5 : Shida Night Market

We bid farewell to Kenting and made our way back to Taipei. We took the Kenting Express Shuttle Bus and the High Speed Rail back to Taipei. On the train, we had our lunch consisting of a bento set and a can of mocha. We bought these at a convenient store at the train station. The bento set tasted great considering that it was precooked food. The mocha provided a nice refreshing boost with an aromatic blend of chocolate and caffeine.
