Went to Shilin after that , it's the best nite market imho(in my honest opinion), then there are makeshift shops ard 11+ in the centre of the 2 shops streets It's interesting, when the police comes, the whole makeshift shops "disappears" within 10 sec, the guy just closed his bags and walked away with his table legs as if he was one of the shoppers. The same goes for the food shops, we were walking to some of the illegal food stalls, then suddenly all their lights got turned off,then some of the shop owners moved their carts to somewhere else. I thought it was a blackout but I went to buy a stick of fishball and kakashi asked if they're closing, the auntie said in chinese " 跑警察“ lolx
