#1 Visiting Taiwan's abandoned UFO village [EN/DE] by @travelshots

To my surprise I was still the only tourist there. I strolled along the deserted streets, could even look at some houses from the inside and didn't see a single person during my entire exploration tour. That made the whole thing of course even more creepy and I didn't feel quite so comfortable all the time, I must honestly admit.

#2 The Bodwease Shrine by @for91days

Once in town, we approached a group of guys who were sitting around under the shade of a mango tree, and asked for the shrine. In unison, they stood up and directed us into the ramshackle building that we happened to already be standing in front of. At their direction, we took seats, and then endured about five minutes of the most awkward silence imaginable. Just us sitting on stools, with six Ghanaian dudes staring at us.

#3 BR Hills- An offseason trip to a border hilltop by @elsaenroute

The temple just like many other ones I have seen in Karnataka had similar architecture. The temple seemed to be under renovation, with many areas being blocked for entry. Looking down from the top point in that temple, the valley was beautiful with tiny houses and steps that lead to the village. I am assuming there is a clear path if you wish to hike to the temple.
