Temple Street Night Market
Our evening at the night market was great. The food was delicious and the cheap house wine was not too bad. Miss T and JDK mutilated a pigeon eating its head.

The night also involved some heated discussions about the state of the environment and over population. A compromise was not reached and we all walked away with our original position.
