Mr. Sheih again was an amazing host and he took the four of us to the small aboriginal village of Wulai just south of Taipei. We rode a cable car up to the top of the waterfall and were treated to another delightful lunch. After we wandered around the waterfalls we went to the Wulai hot spring that is heated by CO3 rather than sulfur. Elnorra wasn’t allowed in so we went in shifts. As darkness approached we arrived at Mr. Sheih’s mountain “villa” where we sat a while and listened to some good music on his vacuum tube amplifier. He then took us to a nearby village and treated us to a traditional Taiwanese dinner. We all tried the “Cho Dofu” which directly translates as “stinky tofu” and we could all pass on it next time! The best thing is the pineapple shrimp that is nicely deep fried and covered with the sweet Taiwanese’s mayonnaise.
