Between love and fear. Who can you trust now?

1. - Arrival

... "Damn it, get that camera out of my face! You know I hate that."

"Listen little brother. We're here on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure vacation. And we should capture everything." Replied my brother Hai Kuan to my near outburst of anger.

"I know OK? That's why I decided to write down everything that happens here." I gave him back as an answer.

We are on the road since two days. On Monday we went to the airport very early in the morning, where we first had to leave half of our equipment, which was also very expensive, because otherwise they wouldn't have let us board the plane.

After a flight of almost three hours we landed and rented a minibus. We took turns driving through half the country, through a small town, through villages and countryside areas that look like no one has ever been there.

It was not until late in the evening that we reached our second destination for the day. A small town where we booked two rooms in a hostel. And with we, I mean my big brother Hai Kuan, his best friend Leni, his very best friend Meng Yao and me. None of the other two I can stand.

Leni is the typical girly and already finds a little dust disgusting. However, she not only wants to spend two nights in the forest with us, but also wants to explore a cave, if we can find it.

Meng Yao is very full of himself and thinks he is all-knowing. I think he secretly has a crush on my brother and that's why he hasn't left his side since they were young. It's too bad that my brother doesn't feel the same for him, but has already given his heart to someone else.

By the way, I am Yibo, I am 23 years young and would prefer not to be here at all. But my brother somehow managed to persuade me. And now I'm here with him and these two other idiots.

Our actual goal is to find a cave in a large dense forest area and explore this cave. There are an incredible number of posts on the internet about this cave. It is written about ghosts and about the fact that already many who have entered this cave have not come out again. I'm not a scaredy cat, but I don't like all these Internet articles. After all, it is said that in every lie there is also a grain of truth.

Well, so my brother decided to film everything on our trip. He emptied his savings account and bought two new super cameras. In addition, many spare batteries and lots of memory cards.

I for my part bought only this diary and some pens. I will document our trip this way. And I have the advantage that I don't have to stick a camera to my forehead all the time and hold one in my hand just to not miss anything.

Our hostel is in a small town that somehow seems to take me back to the days when there were knights. There are these ancient buildings everywhere that look like they've been there for centuries. Street lighting is apparently also a foreign word here, because it's pitch black here in the streets. Really creepy!

The hostel operator advised us not to walk around the place in the evening or at night. "It's too dangerous." Said he to me, with his, only four teeth left.

The hostel itself looks run down and shabby. Everywhere it smells of old air, dampness and I'm sure I can spot mold here somewhere too. Many of the lights do not work and therefore there are candles everywhere. This makes it seem even more like you're in an old castle.

Eerie pictures hang on the walls, right next to the prepared heads of dead animals and a mass of spider webs. In the wooden railing of the brick staircase, several wooden rods are already missing.
