This was the first place I visited in Botan, around 6 AM in March. It was a cold 7 degrees Celsius, as I was not dressed for that temperature. I had a wonderful garlic mashed potatoes and pork sausage for breakfast at the local inn. It'll be the last time I get to have wine during my trip. After a few hours, I took off on my bicycle to Coffee City.

I got lost on my way here. I did not arrive until noon. I was so happy to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Vanilla city is a strange settlement atop a mountain. You have got to travel through one of three cave entrances to get here. I had goat for lunch and dinner, with roasted broccoli.

The geography is very mountainous. It's literally set atop a mountain. One needs to travel through cryptic caves to get here. These caves are known to flood during the rainy season.

It's mostly very independent, relying on wholesale transactions when the caves are cleared up.

Instead of an annual bonfire, there is an annual potluck instead. The food consists of game meat, mostly goat, and potatoes. Football is a common sport here. Music typically consists of chromatic harmonics, tin whistle and jaw harp. The building are made of wood and the roads are made of stone.

There is not much to burn for the usual annual bonfire had in most cities. Instead, they use fireworks. These are though to scare away the monsters, along with most creatures. Food is hard to import here, so game meat is quite popular with goat being the animal of choice. Cottage cheese is a delicacy. Football is the sport of choice. Clothes tend to be made of either plaid or jean. Musical instruments typically consist of the harmonica, tin whistle and jaw harp.

After the seventeen hour long trip, I finally arrived in Coffee City at about midnight. I was able to get a room at the local inn. I slept until about 9 AM, but I decided to stay at the inn all day to relax. Throughout my stay, I could not shake the feeling that I was being watched. In the morning, I had cottage cheese and milk for breakfast. In the evening, broccoli and chicken. Cream of wheat the next morning. The city had a strange, dreary feeling to it, despite being full of people. The architecture was notably poorly cared for, and people generally seemed sickly. I left for Chili Town.
