We visited the most important Temple in Taipei...the Lungshan Temple. People were praying, lighting insence and dropping yin/yang clackers. This was especially interesting....two orange segment shaped wooden pieces are dropped after a prayer request...if landing one up and one down, the request was heard...otherwise, the request is too vague and must be resubmitted.

Alongside the temple sits the herb market. People who have not found satisfaction for their maladies with traditional doctors and their medicine, bring their "perscriptions" right from the temple to be filled in the herb market. These broths are highly esteemed for their healing powers.
