Keelung-Jioufen-Keelung, an old-old town

Today Ana had classes in the morning (oh, she’s teaching Spanish online on Preply, this is how we also know each other 😇) but we managed to squeeze in a workout, I had to compensate a little bit for all the great food I’ve been having haha. 😀 After her classes, Ana prepared me a super delicious lunch and then we went to Jioufen, an old mountain town that was established in the early 1800s and boomed in late 1800s/1900s due to gold and they say it inspired the movie Spirited Away. We got lucky as it didn’t rain and it wasn’t crazy busy so we could walk around in peace. 😇 Little story to my photo with the funny face: we walked through a tunnel leading to a tea house that was used to transport gold back in the days, and we ran into a massive bug that looked like a wasp just with the size of 10 cm and it was dragging a dead spider with itself that was also 10 cm, and it could fly and apparently we were bothering his territory and it was definitely not happy to have us - we claimed defeat and ran for our lives. 😂 In the evening we went to have hotpot together with Jimmy, it was so yummy and my god, so much food… but oh well, some icecream still fit afterward haha. We went for a walk in the area to aid our poor bellies full of food and called it a night. It was another magical day! 🥰Читать далее
