Irriating... Where will you need to pay in Singapore taking pictures with the shorty coconut tree need to pay?? We are on high guards now... Look, before we take pictures...

The tour guide say the beach is Gold Coast alike...

I think its worst than our ECP...

8 Apr (Wed) - Day 5

Went to play water sports games...

Second CON encounter..

We chose the half submarine to watch the fishes in the sea....

It will be a 40 minutes tour thingy...

But in the end, we went in the half submarine.. It was stuffy, with no proper aircon...

The worst thing was the fishes for us to see.. we can count with our FIVE fingers.. OMG!!!

I might as well pay and watch it in our Underwater Wolrd.. More worth it, definitely...

How can they cheat tourists like that?? As it is a tourist attraction, they should at least make us spent it more willingly or with no regrets.. But since we know, we will STRONGLY NOT RECOMMEND, unless you had too much to spend...

Therefore, we went up to take pictures....

Back to the shore...

The beach chairs...

(almost) Third CON encounter...

These chairs need to be charge...

We dont klnow and happily take pictures till one of the came and ask if we would like to rent the chairs at a small fees...

Picture explain: Please be responsible for your belongings. Rental of beach chairs at RBM$20 for 2 hours..

Of course, we did not rent it.. Cox left with 40 minutes before we need to rush to the next destination...

To take icecream- CORN...

Thereafter, we went to see Guang Ying @ Shou Bi Nan Shang....

When Jean saw this Guan Ying, she too happy that she cried, lightly...

One of the destination we like/plan to go...

I like it, especially if you have a lot of things to carry, can store it there first :D

=====

Overall experience, was quite different in Singapore.. And I think the 3 of us really understand each other better through the 8days experience..

All I can say is:-

~Overall, China family still had prefer boys than girls...

~Tourist attractions, please do not CHEAT... Or at least, improve on your facilities or programs to let us be more willingly pay for the service..

~I am not a morning person.... Especially need to wake up early when I do not have enough rest.. Will spoil the day, no matter how fun...

~Shopping in China was not cheap... Bkk was way way better... Or we went to the wrong place?

~BUT I DO ENJOY THE ACCOMPANY OF SI & JEAN, though there are UPs and DOWNs, during the trip...

~A little home sick... Maybe staying with family, thats y...

~I am going to treasure my family, relatives and friends more than before..

~Other things which i need to appreciate will be our clean and green city, toilets (especially), food and CHILLI... Hainan people don't really like CHILLI in their food...

~~~~~~ LOOKING FORWARD TO PUR NEXT TRIP, AGAIN~~~~~~~~
