January 26: Yingge Ceramics Market

Today we took a trip to Yingge, a town near Taipei that makes and sells lots of pottery. Yingge also claims to have been the first town with a road in all of Taiwan. They have created a thriving tourist spot around that road, and many visitors come to Yingge to buy ceramics and painted china. The craftmanship of all the pottery looked very good, so I decided to find a teapot to buy. Many shops sold tea pots and cups at prices that can only be said to be high. I may not know quality, but I was certain that the pots were overpriced. So for the next two hours I went into any shop that I could find looking for a deal on a teapot. And I finally found the perfect one!
