Shilin Market in London / 倫敦的士林夜市

寒冷的冬天裡最美好的兩件事就是吃和睡，我現在走在街上，胃被冷空氣麻痺到我分不清究竟是肚子餓還是只是想吃。今天和姐姐妹妹相約去坎頓市場，因為我有一個很重要的任務，這個任務和程又青問的問題有關：我們為了愛做過什麼？不過姐妹們的目的是便宜的美食。坎頓跳蚤市場大到一種令人瞠目的程度，各國美食誘人的賣相和香味讓我們無法拒絕，鹹的甜的一起來。這些照片是我吃飽喝足後想到要為大家記錄才胡亂拍的，通常一區都有十個二十個食物攤位‧‧‧

The two greatest luxuries in freezing winter are eating and sleeping. Now when I walk on chilly streets, my stomach is so paralyzed that I can hardly tell if I am really hungry or it's purely my gluttony. Today I went to Camden Market with the girls because I had an extremely important mission, which has much to do with the question asked by the leading actress in the Taiwanese TV drama we were all watching: What have you done for love? However, the other important purpose was the cheap food. Camden Market is on such a huge scale that it takes much energy to go through every section. Exotic food tempted me with their colorful appearance and appetizing smell. You can find savoury and sweet food that will greatly satisfy you. Well, it didn't cross my mind to take photos until I was fully fed. Imagine, there are usually more than 10 food stalls in a section... 

上次和卡洛一起去時，她說坎頓市場就是倫敦的市林夜市，但坎頓市場白天就開始營業。今天在一間中國小姐經營的服飾店裡還聽到珊妮公主的新歌，真的很有市林的氛圍。

Last time when I went to Camden Market with Carol, she said that this is the Shilin Market in London! (Shilin Night Market is a very famous touristic spot in Taipei, known for Taiwanese local food and cheap clothing.) But Camden Market is open in the daytime. Today I even heard the latest song by the Taiwanese singer Sandee Chan played in a boutique run by some Chinese girls. It was hard for me not to think of Shilin Night Market.

可是人家坎頓市場也是很有藝術氣息的，這是市場其中一區的木雕牆。

However, Camden Market has its artistic feel. This is the wooden carving on the wall in one section of the market. 

坎頓市場又是由好幾個市場組成，這是馬廄市場入口。

Camden Market is made up of several individual markets. This is the entrance to the Stables. 

坎頓市場以另類文化的商品聞名，但其實什麼都買得到，舉凡衣服、飾品、紀念品、海報、復古商品、唱片、糖果巧克力茶葉，怕缺的就是錢啊！

Camden Market is known for its alternative culture, but in fact all is available here. Products range from clothing, accessories, souvenirs, posters, vintage merchandise, CDs, sweets and so on. The only worry is that you don't have enough money with you!

天黑了，我們臨走之前每個人還帶走一盒西非風味的羊肉飯，老闆想打烊回家，原本五磅的餐盒自動減價成三磅，我們不禁大呼，這真是窮學生的天堂來著！

The night fell. Before we left, each of us bought a takeaway box of West African food with lamb and rice. The vendor wanted to go home too, so he gave us a 2-pound reduction from 5 pounds. We couldn't help exclaiming: What a heaven for poor students!
