Bontoc it is.
Tracing
trails less traveled and rediscovering profound setting only local people
utilize, I decide on Bontoc.
Immersing
with people and be informed of things that might come about during petty conversations. And upon submission……two and a half days and two full nights I came up with
these:
Rediscovering Bliss:
Geysers
“Geysers are manifestations of volcanic activity. They result from the interaction of
groundwater with magma or with solidified but still-hot igneous rocks at
shallow depths.”
“Geysers are hot springs that intermittently spout a column
of hot water and steam into the air.
This action is caused by the water in deep conduits beneath a geyser
approaching or reaching the boiling point.
As bubbles of steam or dissolved gas begin to for,, rise, and expand,
hot water spills from the geyser’s vent, lowering the pressure on the water
column below. Water at depth then
momentarily exceeds its boiling point and flashes into steam, forcing
additional water from the vent. This
chain reaction continues until the geyser exhausts its supply of boiling
water.
After a geyser stops spouting, the conduits at depth refill
with groundwater and reheating begins again.”
Public Onsen
An
onsen is a term for hot springs in the Japanese language (温泉?), though the term is
often used to describe the bathing facilities and inns around the hot
springs. Onsen were traditionally used
as public bathing places. Onsen come in
many types and shapes, including outdoor (露天風呂 or 野天風呂 or roten-buro or noten-buro) and
indoor baths. Baths may be either public
run by a municipality or private (内湯 uchiyu)
often run as part of a hotel.
Onsen water is believed to have healing powers derived from its mineral
