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

You must say this photo is superb...

...and I totally agree with you, but that's not only the beauty of the picture (I'm so modest), I feel proud of it because we were on a cab going at a normal Chinese speed which is fast and so far, I cannot understand how I managed to take the photo, seriously, that will be the exploit of my trip

Ready to get on the boat

The buying of the tickets involved lots of negotiation, like the guide needed to buy them for us to get a fair price, I didn't know what was going on, so I just went to buy my 5-Yuan bottle of water.

This is...Jenny

That's right, she was so proud of her brand new slippers that I had to take a photo. Good, Jenny, you look better now :-)

Heading to the small island of the west

queueing for the boat to go to the West Island

They told me to wait for a coconut juice in the island, but I was too thirsty so here I got a bottle of water for 5 Yuan, it could've been worse

the name of our boat

azure waters...

I'd like to buy this one, as Joey in Friends

The West Mao Island

The one, we decided to go to, nice, it seems that its part of Sanya's coral reserve, a shame I cannot dive but it is supposed to be beautiful, I read they have about 120 species of reef and 300 species of fish, not bad, ha?

Guess, who's that?

Me and the big fossile they found thousands of years ago... not true, most artificial indeed, but I am genuine, that's for sure!

Elisa, one of the Chinese English teachers

Sarah and me

Jenny and Katie

Yeah, you guessed right, that's all of us.

This was our beach, nice, isn't it?

I'm not an adept at taking pictures, come on, say I'm fairly good :-)

Don't be shy, you want to say that this photo looks like a postcard and that the photographer is great; is that true? THANK YOU, MY PLEASURE

Time for Jenny to relax

Me too, yeah, time to rest

Stacey's nap

Lovely images registered in my mind

The cleaners having a break

I particularly like this photo as it shows the relaxing environment we were in, here not long ago I had bought a hat the same as the one the lady is holding

Me alegra que te haya gustado, si, Sanya es una ciudad muy bonita y no creo que sea tan conocida en las extranjas, me haces reir con lo de Clodo y tienes razon, se me quedo en panales :-) estiloso, yo? Never, never!

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?
