Mucha Market / 木柵市場


讀了劉克襄「男人的菜市場」,一直很想去木柵市場看看,雖然我已經在文山區工作十幾年,居然對於這個市場一無所知。

After reading Men's Markets written by Ker-shiang Liu, I'd longed to visit Mucha Market for a while. Though I had worked in this area for more than decade, I hardly knew anything about the market. 

出發前為了再次確定木柵市場的所在,上網查資料時,第一個跳進視窗的是佳璇媽的網誌,到了現場寫生,畫到一半時,薆文直直地站到我的視線中央,雖然我不在這一區生活,但是我在這裡的友人還真不少!

Before leaving, I checked online the location of the market, and the first blog entry I found was posted by Erica's mom! While I was sketching on the spot, someone planted her feet right in front of me, and it turned out to be Master's mom! Though I do not live in the neighborhood, I have to admit that I already have had many friends here. 

木柵市場除了室內市場的空間,還有被周邊高樓圍繞的街上市場,和人們的生活空間融合在一起,因為小蕙帶路,感覺很像在自己社區買菜。

In addition to a hall with different stalls, the vendors also line several streets around it. This market is so much part of people's lives. I got a very good guide Huei, so I was rather in my element doing the grocery shopping. 

如果有一天我有自己的家,這一區會是我的首選!

If one day I am going to buy my own apartment, this neighborhood will be one of my top choices!
