Let’s go further upstairs!! :D  Look up! There is a splendid chandelier with creative herbal seeds (I suppose) as elements!!

I hadn’t really closed my Jiufen photo series yet … So I need to finish this, for myself as well. :P

For previous series, please scroll down my blogs to almost one month ago. Thanks.

This cafe in Jiufen at the end of the main street has a perfect location that enjoys a spectacular view. Most of the time, it doesn’t matter if the coffee or beverages are good. But they have the whole package!! The coffee is great! Although the price cannot say cheap, but if you can spend 2 hours sitting there and enjoy your time with good coffee and magnificent views… I will say it is super cheap!! 

This is their gate. The first floor takes orders and has their other products and souvenirs demonstrated. Ice creams as well, yes!! :)

Thank you Steemit community!! I cannot believe that I have managed to produce a $100 level post with this one!! This is actually my historically 2nd largest payout post!! 

Can you believe it!? If you look at my Rep currently sitting on 69, you probably think that I have made a lot of money in the past, that’s not quite true. Or, to be more precise, I never made big money with any single post but one very early post [the historically highest payout post ($400+) has an interesting story/twist behind it, you may check this past post of mine should you be interested]. 

I have waited for so long (since last August) to finally witness my hundred dollar level post to appear!! (Tears~~~~)

https://steemitimages.com/DQmeaoaYaYFRuZSU6db34v35n74veHB3r9N1kncj8kNGoEz/image.png

And I am so happy that it turns out to be a post about giving out (check its comments about me not anticipating this to happen, of course the payout isn’t confirmed yet, I know… )… 

Actually I am working on a post on the concept of sharing and why it is important for Steem/it, so this post has encouraged me in a great timing to confirm that by giving out to others, you get more. And by everybody believing so, everybody gets more. [yeah, something I will elaborate in my next post mentioned]

Actually, a while ago, I almost achieved this goal during my travel post series to Jiufen … 

Junction of life - Jiufen photo series 011 [see the screenshot under]

https://steemitimages.com/DQmQGjCzd5xFpc2NxxWvWndsLfv8KBhpFFLBW7y1S5KdNh6/image.png

Again, I did not expect the photos from this accidental shooting idea to go viral - it is an interesting idea, but hey, I used a smartphone and look at the photo quality… it is awful!! :D

I would be happy if it had passed the $100 mark, but it wouldn’t mean the same with this one…

With @darthnava’s trending post achieving more than $8000 at the moment, this reminds me of early Steemit moments - so many helping posts to help those in need… Positive energy generates positive energy, and I like and cherish this kind of community culture (if you don’t know what is positive energy, go check @papa-pepper ‘s posts as well as what he has done for others!). 

Anyway, this post serves to say thank you all for supporting me and I will continue to try to benefit Steemians around me as much as I can so your support will be maximized inside this great Steemiverse!! (instead of transferring it all to pxlxnieo and trading it for money for me).

Let me say it again as it is too important … 

By giving out to others, you get more!

This contest was secretly hidden in the first post of #myeuropaplog and the posts included are - from announcement, to this, this, this, this, this, this, this and the farewell Auf Wiedersehen. [posts afterwards are not included, due to the series is still on going after I returned … ]

Those who commented might even not be aware that they had participated, or even got chosen today!! This is intended to encourage my followers or my post readers to give me feedback and also, as back then I didn’t have time nor the convenience for replying comments, this is to express my apology.

I said so in the post:

Hidden Surprises! - I will pick 5 to 10 best comments for this entire series and give away prizes of {1 steem, 1 SBD, 2 SBDs} or maybe a grand comment prize up to 5 SBDs if there is one that I consider worthy!! I will pick them after I come back. 

https://steemitimages.com/DQmeZwQi7idxgiguzpYL83g4BU2vfcKzBLcJ7i9GC6phDY5/image.png

However, I left Taiwan with a Steem price of about $0.5-$0.6 and returned to see it goes up to $1 and now even much more!! So I decide to use Steem as prizes and picked up to 10 Winners!!

Congratulations and thank you to them! Let’s see:

7 Prizes of 1 Steem go to …

• @nextgen622 - for a sincere good-bye!


• @siriusgaia - for enthusiastic helping comment!


• @rea - for comments warming my heart en route!


• @ace108 - for checking in frequently!


• @jaki01 - for welcoming me to visit him :) !


• @margaretwise - for a beautiful comment!


• @olga.maslievich - for being touched by my post and sharing her photo!

2 Prizes of 2 Steems go to …

• @hr1 - for a sincere invitation to go somewhere cooler than I went … still a pity!!


• @englishtchrivy - for following my trip closely!!

Finally, Yes! There IS a grand prize of 3 Steems!! And the prize goes to …

• @barrydutton - for replying to comments for me!!! Epic, man! Well done!!!  :D

Last, I hope everyone continue to follow #myeuropaplog series like the recent Reflections of Prague 1 and 2 … it will keep coming! Still so many to share and for me it is also a good photo diary to stay on the blockchain!

Accidentally, I just found out that now we, the steemit platform, now have a welcome bot for greeting new users!!

https://steemitimages.com/DQmSYoabnYbUVttHyW48oRonc2Uou7axnknmmdVmfWRQZd8/image.png

Seems this bot has just started today and in less than 24 hours (actually in just 18 hours), it has made 137 welcoming messages!! All its ‘posts’ are comments to new users. I have no idea if this is official or not as there is no information at all that I can find. Just found out that this bot is created by @reggaemuffin who says “I want this to be a warm place :)” on the profile page. Great jobs!! Check the following links by @reggaemuffin:

https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@reggaemuffin/steemgreet-motivate-new-users-who-just-joined

https://steemit.com/welcome/@reggaemuffin/welcome-giveaway-write-your-first-post-and-win-a-whale-vote

This reminds me of @wang, our early welcome bot and its creator. Unfortunately, @wang hasn’t been active for quite a long time and it seems he is powering down for quite a while… He used to be a big supporter for me to so I have some attachment to him… See his profile and his only once farewell post

https://steemitimages.com/DQmNvScVsePS5MvDnZLtvn36evb5CUGYDEkDXa5FF8pBovy/image.png

@wang has greeted more than 3,000 new users here including me!! Let’s hope that @welcomebot can continue to do this job well while Steemit enters a high speed growth period!! :)

Liquid Rewards Sharing: 1/3 to @welcomebot , 1/3 to the new user from whom I learnt about this bot (will be a surprise for him), and 1/3 keep for myself.
