Spirited Away

My last trip in Taiwan took me to JiuFen, the city in Taiwan that was the inspiration for the Miyazaki film Spirited Away. JiuFen is an old mining town that was established during the Japanese occupation of Taiwan. Shuffling through alleys packed with little shops and walking down a narrow staircase I imagined I could see No-face and Chahero sneaking through the streets. It was so cool to see the places that took me back to the animated vacation town of the spirits.
