    Spirited Away (well Jioufen)

    October 6, 2023 in Taiwan ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    Took the bus from Taipei to Jioufen...
    It is bloody beautiful (if completely packed and full of tourists)! Despite the weather being grey, foggy and just a bit miserable, can see why people claim it's the street that Studio Ghibli's "Spirited Away" was based on (love that film 🥰)
    The old street is so windy, narrow and full of really cool shops and food places... too many to count...
    Amongst other food, finally had a peanut ice cream wrap (I lie, I had 2 as I'm a pig!), so good! Made a friend during lunch, unfortunately she had to leave after about an hour and half, but then made another friend while sitting in a tea shop... we're gunna go to Shifen tomorrow, and she is Taiwanese, which is so handy for the language barrier!
    Staying the night here as according to friends it's even more beautiful at night... it is true! In the evening bumped into Orna, from yesterday! Such a small touristy place! 😅 feel like I'm becoming a local randomly bumping into people I know!
