Welcome to the Johnny Depp Fansite!

There are abundant examples of poor translations to English in Taiwan but this is ridiculous! The trail was equipped with several special bio-friendly squatters, but when I saw this plaque I had to take a picture. (Click the picture to enlarge so that the text is legible.)Yes, this is a type of outhouse. In fact these squatting toilets are almost as common here as our more familiar western variety. This is a special composting outhouse designed to protect the environment. The wheel you see in the door way helps mix and there are solar and wind power attachments that keep the internal environment right for the special bacteria inside, as well as run the pumps etc. which distill and expel water. Really great technology for a forest trail! I think they went to the trouble and expense because Jade mountain is also called Taiwan's sacred mountain and it is a matter of national pride to keep it clean. There was unfortunately still quite a bit of litter at places on the trail.

The English part of the sign reads: Welcome to the Johnny Depp Fansite! This site is dedicate.

I wonder if I should send a copy to Johnny Depp.
