Yes I've finally decided to blog about the hainan trip. This is gonna be lengthy. And I've forgotten some parts of the trip so I think I'll leave some parts out.
Day 1:
First day was nothing much, just arriving there, getting settled down in the hotel and walking around at night.
Day 2:
-Wu Gong Ci
It was some memorial thing for five officials. Not many pictures of this cause it wasn't really very interesting.
Use your imagination.
-Boao Forum
Some place set up for the countries in Asia and the Atlantic (?) cause they didn't want all of the world's issues discussed by the Americans and Europeans.
-Some place where one side of the shore is a river and the other side is the South China Sea.
This place was pretty cool. Like one side is all calm and the other side has all the big and scary waves. The waters of the South China Sea was damn scary, like the waves were HUGE, and the water was so cold.
We carried alligators! Omg, I officially love them (at least when their mouths are tied up and they cant bite me), their skin is so nice and smooth and they're so warm!
-Some cultural village, I can't remember the name
They had this ugly replica of our Merlion!
-Coffee factory
I have no idea what "God Dispose, Eran Propose" means.
Jay Chou's everywhere in China, on billboards, on food packaging, in advertisements, on bags! Yay!
-Some plantation
We were sitting at the back of the buggy and we weren't listening to the guide and no one cared about us. :D
We were trying to imitate Gerard Way and Bob Bryar, and obviously failed - stop laughing!
- We stayed in this hotel with a awesome view of the beach
Day 3:
- Woke up at 5am (keeping in mind I slept only at 2.30) to watch the sunrise
Stupid Sziying and Celine slept like pigs. The sun was beautiful though.
- ANOTHER cultural place
We were forced to wear some weird shirt thing and a garland cause we paid for some VIP thing and we could try all the games and stuff for free. I didn't wear the shirt thing, it was ugly!
There was this beautiful peacock, he looked so sad so Sziying untied the string it was tied to so he can be freeeeeee.
This woman was blowing the flute with her nostrils. This can be a deadly weapon, she can aim at someone and blow her snot through the flute and it'll land on the person. Okay ewwwww.
-Two Beaches
I only took pictures at one though.
Watched the sunset. :D
We mixed coconut soup, sharksfin soup, coke and tea. It came out smelling like curry. :D
-Stayed at Holiday Inn
Holiday is awesome, really really awesome omg, I love that hotel! :D There's a fish therapy thing next to the pool where the fish bites away the dead skin. I tried it and it was really ticklish, but it really helped!
Day 4:
- Crystal Factory
Spot anything wrong?
-Tianya Haijiao (The end of the world)
The most famous tourist spot in Hainan, I didn't take picture of haijiao cause my camera chose that moment to die on me. And we did poems with our names, super cool. :D Daddy did one with mummy's name, a love poem, it was their 14th anniversary too! Too bad mummy didn't go, it would've been so romantic.
Day 5:
- Jog on the beach
Guzang forced us to wake up at six to go for exercise. Well, I jogged a bit and we watched the sunrise. :D
Jiejie was doing the "worship the sun".
The rest of the day was spent travelling.
Day 6:
-The Soong Sisters' house
One of them was Sun Yat-Sen's wife, the other two were rulers.
Random photo of phyllis with shades :O
-Volcano Park
The two other tourguides were leaving so we took a picture with them. :D
Day 7:
-Manicure and Pedicure
This was super cheap, 50RMB (10 sing) for manicure and pedicure and massage and also scrubbing our feet! The other people left for Singapore and only 7 people stayed for another day.
-International buffet with daddy's friend
-Shopping at some nightmarket
Day 8:
Left for Singapore.
Yes finally done. I took like ages to finish this.
Anyway, my house is super messy now cause we're repainting the house. There are like no furniture, only a few tables and the sofa. All our things are strewn all over the place and it's so messy I can't find anything. D:
