A visit to Jiufen...

Last year when I was travelling in Tibet, I saw a traveling program on the chinese TV where they visited Juifen in Taiwan, and since then I wanted to go here and see the worlds largest gold bar...
I started they day with some soup at a famous soup restaurant in Hsinchu...
Juifen is on the east coast of taiwan, we took a car, me ans some old frieds...this is kris, who knew the road, I met him when I was an exchange student here 4 years ago...
Its always cool to see the east (and north) coast of taiwan...
It was a small road up to the mountain village, where gold was found some 100-50 years ago...
It was a great view from here, over the northern landscpae of taiwan...
The roads here in the city was super small, more like a south european path...
And small stores everywhere, kind of expensvie and touristic...
They had some slow made coffee, same as in a restaurnt in Hsinchus Qingda night market...
Signs of modernity...every now and then these signs appeared...
And there were alot of other pathes crossing the main "path", leading to some hidden stores and restaurants...
They say that at sunset, this is an "epic" place to be...
I had a map and brochue about this place from a visit at a tourism bureau in Taipei (banqiao), without a map, it is easy to get lost in this city...
There were some squares at some places...and small roads for cars to pass by, but most places were very narrow, no place for wheel chairs...
This is a statue of a guy digging gold...
And there were some caves at som places...also leading to restaurants...
Some important restaurnats had my Family name..."shi1" (施)

MAny of the pitoresque restaurants had a great view, and super cool interior designt
And modern toilets...dont know what the buttons on the panel will do...

We planned to pass by Danshui (Tamsui in taiwanese i think), but time was running out, since some of my friends were heading to some massage place in Jhubei. So we went to a burger place at Xida in Taipei, one of my favourite burger bars...however it just closed when we came...
Instead we went to this restaurant, and took away, eating while driving...
The burger was typical "sandwish" like...
soft bread etc, not top 10...
This is the place in Jhubei where my friends had a massage...a local girl who lives in Jhubei, who went with us in the car from Taipei, had a father who told us that this place was the kind of massage place that offers happy ending...
The massage room, looks like a bedroom...with pillows etc...
They were open until 3 am...
(some friend confirmed later on that night that they were offering "happy ending" from his experience)
Its funny, maybe we should bring our GMBA professor here, he always talks about massage...
