Photos of Dan Shui, Taipei, Taiwan
These are photos from Dan shui, Taiwan. I took the red line on the MRT from Taipei to Danshui. There is a hip night market. These are pictures from my adventure there.
(Photo of Taiwanese street food- These are snacks that Taiwanese people like to eat while they are shopping at night markets.)
(These are small stuffed keychains of Patrick the starfish from Spongebob Square Pants. Taiwanese teens love "cute" things like this. They are in an arcade machine where you use a claw to pick up a prize.)
(Duck Head Soup...this is a Taiwanese street food stand where you pick all the things you want to eat and put them in a little basket. The cook puts it all into a broth to make a soup. Notice in the top left corner, you can put duck heads in your soup if you like.)

Street Photos in India
These photos were taken on the street in India. I love taking street photos. There is always so much action in India, that there are about 200 good photographs on every block. Sometimes I would take street photos while riding in a rickshaw.





Photo of a Rickshaw station India. This is an auto repair shop in India.

Photo of an alleyway in Jaipur, India. That is my friend in the red skirt ahead of me. Notice how this Indian man is looking at her butt. Western girls attract a lot of attention from Indian men, even if they are modestly dressed.

Photo of a street vendor in India. This person was selling grains and potatoes and other spices.

Photo of Jaipur street, India. I like this camel!
Photo of an alley in Jaipur India. This entire alley was just filled with bangle stores. In many of the stores they will demonstrate how they make the glass bangles.

Morocco Travel Photos
These are travel photos from Morocco. I was there in 2007-2008 traveling through Rabat, Casablanca, and Marrakesh. For more information about my trip, visit my travel blog at http://ladythetramp.com.








Photo of Rick's Cafe in Casablanca. I watched the movie Casablanca before I went to Morocco. The whole movie took place in Rick's Cafe, and when I was there I went on a mission to find it. This is not the actual Rick's Cafe (I think that is actually a fictitious place), but this place was built for tourists to visit.


Photo of women at a olive market in Morocco. I love taking pictures at markets. There is always so much action and so many bright colors to capture. I like the contrast of this photo, with the women wearing dark colors, looking at the bright olives. Morocco is known for growing olives, and since olives are one of my favorite foods, it was like heaven there.

Photo of a rose garden at a Mosque in Morocco.

Photo of a minaret at a mosque in Marrakesh. Minarets are an architectural structure common in Muslim Mosques. In modern day mosques there are usually speaker attached to the top which blast out the call to pray so people can hear it throughout the city and know when to pray.

Minaret in Morocco.

Photo of painted windows in Morocco. I liked this photo, and thought it would be a good addition to my photos of windows and doors around the world.

Photo of a train station in Morocco. The train system in Morocco is excellent, making it very easy to travel from one city to another.

Photo of spices in a market in Morocco.

Photo of a man walking through the desert in Morocco. I took this photo from my train window when I was traveling between Marrakesh and Casablanca. I like the composition, a single man and a single sheep in the desolate desert.

Photo of Rick's Cafe in Casablanca. I watched the movie Casablanca before I went to Morocco. The whole movie took place in Rick's Cafe, and when I was there I went on a mission to find it. This is not the actual Rick's Cafe (I think that is actually a fictitious place), but this place was built for tourists to visit.

Photo of a pretty Moroccan woman in a Djellaba. She was just standing in the street and I had to get a picture of her.
