This is not a real grocery store but a "fake"one set in the tourist strreet. There are less and less grocery store in cities, but still can find some around country sides. In the picture this fake store put many Tatung staues on the wall, if you think it's no big deal, you are totally wrong. It cost a lot and it's well-known in Taiwan. Since 1918 Tatung company produced home appliance and created this logo statue, everyone marked a number which symbolized the year. Ex. 86 means it is made in 1911+86= 1997. Some collectors started to collected the 1970s statues to 1990s, so it's getting popuar and rare. This shop owns all the years of statues as you've seen in this picture, just sell some statues, you can travel around some countries.

Lantern Festival for the Chinese Year

This is my favorite shape of the lanterns. In the middle of the Chinese charater is " ‡Ö", meaning "happy to be married".
