waterfall at wulai. not particularly spectacular, hence the overzealous enthusiasm. this waterfall is supposed to be 80 m high and quite impressive after a rain. wulai is about an hour's bus ride south of taipei. it is known for this waterfall, but also "dreamland", a tacky amusement park situated at the top of the mountain, accessible by cable car ride. this place is tacky, like the amusement park on beach blvd in biloxi next to ruby tuesdays. there was a performance by six guys from burkina faso, an african country north of ghana. i was a little confused by this african drumming and dancing as i thought there would be a taiwanese aboriginal village at the top of the mountain. as it turns out, the aborigine village is a taxi ride 17 km further into the mountains; my bad, for not bringing the guidebook along with us. at least the view was good and it was cooler up in the mountain than being down on the valley floor. "damn, it's mad hot in china!"
