A visit to the Golden canyon
I paid a visit the the golden canyon recently
Mr Serna was fixing some finger gloves on a friday...
I had some comombuan sugar n lemon drink the same day...
And the day after I headed to Hualien
I found some aborignal drinks such as xiaomijiu
I bought some small one...
It was a sunny day at the east coast...
And people were getting prepared for some river tracing
Up along some small river...
that had its more watery parties...
And a place to jump from...
I published this on google maps...
We also had some costco pizza here...
And later went for some high jump...
And more pizza...
Some locals were also fishing small fish...
Later on we headed up the forrest...
And back to the river...
And some people jumped from this water collection tower...
And later on we swam some more...
...I missed some wild hotspring here...
We jumped from these cliffs aswell...
We were asked to wear wet suit the whole day...pretty hot...
...and some people peed in their suit as well...(i didnt)
Jump again...
And more walking...
and more jumping
some clouds were approching...
later on we put up a camp...
and some people were taking a short swim...
the guides were preparing food
some guy brought fake kavalan whisky...
we also brought some beer...
it was pretty touristic here...many groups walked up and down...
after a while the dinner was finished...
Omg...up n the nearby forrest I also found some hunters hut...
dinner is ready...
some vegetable and flat noodles...
We also brought a very huge log, which we put on fire...
Mr Serna was supporting as an umbrella holder in the rain...
and many of the locals were talking pictures...
...with different poses...
another pose...
Later we went to sleep in the tents...
Breakfast time...
Some bagel...
With meat and more lettuce...
t was pretty good...
Jason, who invited me here was eating by himself...
Some hunters bringing fish down...
Time to head to the golden canyon...
I saw a very suspicous cable...it might be some electricacl grid to the hunters hut...
Mr Serna was preparing water to his bottle via a filter...
Off we go...
We left the tents at the camp while heading further up stream to the canyon...
Slowly walking...
They previous day we were wearing wet suit...
(dates on pics indicated williams go pro cam)...
we were heading further up stream
pretty hot, and sunny...in this canyon south of taroko gorge
me and william and the guides were the ones skiping the wet suit...they first thoguht we were americans who wanted to sue the guides for strachin ourselves...i told them i was european...
...some nice pond upstream....
...we made a train...
...and continues further up...
...later we came to a cave...
...and some time later we came to the place where we had to limb more..to get to the golden canyon...
and many people were posiing.å..
...another lake..or pond...upstream...
...after some climbing we came to another pond...
....and we ahd to wait,,cus the guides had so secure the ropes...
...yet another waterfall to climb....
...and finally we reached the golden canyon...it was said to look golden in some light....
The guides thought about fixing so future tourists could climb further up, but the tarko national administration said no...(when they applied)...
After some time we were back at the camp...for some fast lunch
And cleaning some equipment...
It started to rain...but thats ok...the air is very fresh here compare to the western parts of taiwan...
Mr Serna put on his wet suit again...
We hiked down in some hour, what took us a day yesterday...
Chillin in the water...
When back to hualien we quickly returned ur equipment...
Serna was waiting for the cab...
It was a fast baibai to the others...
While the clouds were covering the mountain tops that yesterday was shiny...
I finished the xiaomijiu I bought the morning before...
But bought some more drinks and chicken...
...omg...a nice pic of the lake near hualien...
I also bought some mochi, which is some rice startch that is said to be famous around hualien...2018 continues...

Fined by a potentially fake police
I was stoped by a fake police some days ago...
She gave me a fine for crossing the street...
She refused to show me any kind of photo ID, but refered to that "she was wearing police clothes"..the logic was so funny...but still sad, if this is the was to be cheated by a fake cop...totally different world...
Here is the crime scene, crossed when pedestriants have green...
Another funny logic thing is that I recently went on a bus and paid my ride with coins. the driver insitted that if i paid with coins I had to pay double fee, compare with if i didt not pay with coins...very funny logic...
