I don’t talk about this much, but my family actually belongs to a clan of Badminton Ninjas. Let that sink into your head for a second. Badminton. Ninjas.
Since I’m in Taiwan, they took us over to the clan’s secret badminton training camp in Yuanshan (圓山).
It’s a bit of a walk up to the badminton courts, lots of steps.
And traps, like Ninja Flowers…
Ninja Spiders…
And Ninja Dogs…
There are a lot of different platforms/covered areas/secret bases in Yuanshan. On any given weekend, there are lots of non-badminton-ninjas about doing recreation things.
So if you go off the beaten path at a certain point…
…you get to the secret Ninja Badminton training court.
Where my clan’s Badminton Ninjas play… well, badminton.
Btw, the 2 guys you see are actually shadow clones, the actual players are moving too fast for my camera.
If you go higher up the mountain, you’ll find lots of things that facilitate the training of Badminton Ninjas. Like shrines (+30 to Spirit)…
Playground for Ninja Kiddies…
A place to workout…
…and at the top of the mountain is… some sort of communication tower.
Oh, and lots of karaoke for some reason. There are seriously around 5 or so karaoke machines set up in various places and they’re always being used. I can only assume the karaoke is either for concentration/focus training or to camouflage the Badminton Ninja training that’s going on.
This has nothing to do with anything, but the view from the top is pretty nice.
You might be wondering why I’m revealing so much about our clan’s Badminton Ninjas… I’m banking on the fact that this won’t show up in google.com.tw.
Expect swift punishment for revealing secret training grounds.
wow that place is very beautiful 🙂
