This weekend, the International Finance College took us to visit a staggering Chinese paradise with a 25-degree average temperature; yeah, the largest Ocean island in China. Although the car drive and flight were both pleasant, I couldn't help having ants in my pants for the whole trip, I reckon it was down to my leg problems. Yet, as soon as we arrive in Sanya, I was a new man, ready to relax and... Read Full Entry

Hi all! Well, after so many seconds, minutes, hours, months and years of procrastination...-but highly encouraged by a most beloved friend-, I have finally got round to creating my own blog. Wow, I can't believe I'm actually doing it this time! It will be a nice opportunity to get in touch with so many friends that I've luckily gained in my entire '21' years' existence (we all know that's a lie but somehow it makes me feel younger, never you mind, sorry:); I'll be able to share some of the most precious memories of my travel as well as my day-to-day adventures. Let's just hope that my s... full info

The facade of our hotel, not bad

This was quite funny at the entrance of the hotel

You can hardly see it, but by using some magnets, they display the weather, the date and guess who had fun, changing the numbers like instead of 2008, you could've read 8002, come on, we are all children inside, and it was not only me, some other teachers too, I am telling you :-)

Here, David, a local, and two more Chinese names, sorry, I'm not good with Chinese names

The swimming pool of the hotel, lovely

or extensive...

Me playing Casanova with Vivian and Lina

Lovely flowers

Me being framed while taking pictures

Another view of the hotel

Dudu ready to fly

This is the sign they have in the swimming pool

I have to say that 3 and 7 were quite hilarious, well, not 7 but 3, or 7, or 3, both? up to you to decide.

The funny sign, be careful with your baking :-)

the first day after some rest was not a good time to soak up the sun

I know...

A shame I don't make postcards I don't know you, but I love this one. For what is worth, I think it is one of the best ones.

Pas mal non plus

Sanya de las Palmas :-)

the shopping street of Sanya

looking for Lina

The bargaining is about to start But Lina is not ready yet!!!

Oh, here she is, start Haggling

Stacey, Lina, Jenny and Hansen were about to start the bargain. That was really something, why am I so shy?

The best bargainers of Hainan

Lina, Me, Katie, Jenny, Hansen and Stacey. For the record, I'm not a good haggler but since I was there, I had the right to be included, what do you think? The thing is, I should be EXCLUDED since everytime I try to haggle, I feel so sad for the people and sometimes I end up giving them some money back. How sad is that? no eyes for a bargain!!

and the bargaining for a cab starts...as usual, I was far from the spot :-)

Hi, Melodies
Thanks, it is not difficult to be a good photographer when you have so much monumental material. China offers such contrasts, have you been there?
