MOST OBSCURE PLACES YOUVE FOUND SOMETHING

[donJ]

A lot of you guys are much more well traveled than me. I've been to some different countries & cities across America but nothing too unusual. What are the most unusual or obscure places you've been, in time & place, where you've found an encounter? Sexual, fell in love, found nightlife...a bar, a club, something more salacious. Somewhere in the cut where you wouldnt expect or where not everyone will find themselves, or before things were more acceptable.

Just sitting at home today & letting my mind wander a little bit, sorry I dont have any stories of my own to share for this one, but thats why im curious...

17 years ago I took the wonderful Rocky Mountaineer train from Vancouver to Banff. There was an overnight stop in Kamloops in the mountains, a place I had never heard of. The train stopped around 6:00pm and we were bused to a hotel. A few days earlier I had been checking Kamloops on the apps when I noticed one cute Chinese guy. We got in touch. End result. We spent a lovely quite unexpected evening together at the hotel.

Another encounter was in Cusco in Peru. I was there for 3 nights, with a train to Macchu Pichu on my last day. Having flown from Lima at sea level to an elevation of around 3,500 meters, all the guide books tell you to rest for the first five hours on arrival to help avoid altitude sickness. I was suprised to see oxygen bottles at the airport! I read on my bed for a couple of hours and then decided to hit the apps even though I had no intention of meeting up with anyone. I was merely curious. Chatted to one lovely guy who was a student doing part time work in a bar. We hooked up the following day and it was another wonderfully unexpected encounter.

Another 'surprise' was to discover that Chengdu is one of the gayest cities in China - at least in respect of the number of hits I was getting on apps. Impossible to keep up with the demand!!

Just to add to this point, Chengdu has 14 official universities and a further 7 official colleges of some other disciplines. In other words, a huge number of students. Even though I was living closer to the outskirts of the city than the centre, not one of the guys I had the joy of meeting would accept any money for transport. I did enjoy dinner in the hotel with one which naturally I paid for. I wished I could have stayed for a few more days.

Chengdu is also a great cultural centre. This is where the wonderful Panda Breeding Center is located where you can see 50 or so of these wonderful creatures, including the rare brown pandas. 90 minutes away is the famous Giant Buddha at Leshan, often cited as one of the wonders of China. Further away and accessible by bus or a short flight is the stunning Jiuzhaigou National Park. If you arrive by air, make sure you have your camera on your lap because the views in the minutes before you arrive at the airport are breathtaking. Sadly mine was in my backpack n the luggage locker. The runway itself is carved out of the top of a mountain and is in itself amazing.

The National Park covers two valleys. Go early in the mornng. From the entrance, minibuses drop you off at the main valley at a level of around 4,000 meters after which it is easy to slowly amble down taking in some gorgeous natural wonders. If you are peckish, the cruising minibuses will take you down to the entrance where there are large restaurants and then back up afterwards. The Park suffered major damage in the 2017 earthquake. It was partially reopened the following year and has now been restored to its former glory. The Park is also home to 7 Tibetan villages. But do not attempt to go during or close to one of the country's national holidays when everywhere in the Park is crammed with Chinese!
