My friend went I took a photo next to the HUGE Robot Solider. I saw some photos of the cafe of an pans in the shape of Totoros. I don't know if they still make them, but I'm sure they're doing other cute stuffs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghibli_Museum http://www.ghibli-museum.jp/en/ Did you ever visit the Studio Ghibli Museum in Japan?

Have you been to Jinguashi then? I heard you can pan for gold there. I've always wanted to find a gold nugget. That’s really neat! Have you been to Jinguashi then? I heard you can pan for gold there.

Spirited Away is one of my favorite films of all time. I actually didn't take that picture, but found it online. Unfortunately, we weren't able to make it to Jiufen during our trip to Taiwan because of a typhoon. It is definitely on my short list for next time though! Thanks for your comment!

It's a beautiful movie. I had no idea Jiufen was one of the inspirations for it. Your photo is bang on! Thanks for a most interesting read this morning.
