Next stop on the trip was the island of Hainan, which over here we call the "Hawaii of China". Its about the one place where you see Chinese people actually relaxing. It was such a great end to a wonderful trip.
Our hotel was situated in Sanya Bay, a strip of shore lined with big hotels. One of the oddest things about Hainan, is that it is an extremely popular destination for Russian tourists. So much so, things were first written in Chinese,then Russian, and then English. We met a Russian man at the pool with his family one day, he asked why Americans don't have British accents?!! I just laughed.
Then I asked how the ocean was, he said he wont go in because of the Medusa's (aka: Jelly Fish). I only saw one dead one on the beach, but it sure was the biggest Jelly Fish I had ever seen!
I've realized that Chinese people think they will melt in the sun, so as a result the pool was never crowded, which was a good thing, because the guys who worked at the pool let me play my ipod all day over the load speaker, as we would watch them climb up the palm trees to knock coconuts down to drink, it was very entertaining.
Mom, I asked for a pina colada...
they had no idea what that was, such a shame
If you walked past the pool you would hit the beach,
oh how it made me miss home
One day I was laying out and I noticed a few workers staring at me, then a few more came, then a few more, it was so funny, they kinda just stood by my chair either staring at
me or watching the ocean with me.
