White sand beaches, shimmering clear waters, palm trees and coconuts, brings to mind......China right? Ha, not. But just a short plane ride away ( about 2 hours) you can leave all the traffic and congestion, the pollution and smog, you can leave stupid toothpaste Haibao in the dust and travel to the beautiful tropical island called Hainan- part of China-but yet so, so very far away. Thank the heavens. It is restoring my soul as the gentle Hainan waters slowly wash away the expo excrement from my USA pavilion stained skin. Am I being dramatic? You try working there for three months. Haha, ok ok, I'm being dramatic, but my god it is nice to get away, and actually do some traveling!
So far we have stayed in a very sketchy hostel ( a lot of men staying there, and a lot of women working there...in very small skirts) and then did about a 10 point upgrade to the 5 star Hilton Sanya hotel, the first night was on my Dad ( Hilton points!) the second night...we made a friend with one of the staff who hooked us up with an extra night. How cool is that? But, we soon grew bored in that expensive bubble of red faced foreigners in tiny speedos half hidden under massive stomachs. EW. So we moved on to the Blue Sky hostel. Much more us. Lots of college kids and friendly people from all over the world. And wi-fi! So I can share my experiences with you all :)
Whether it's been eating a Chinese pear in a pearly white tub, looking out over the ocean in our beachfront hotel room, drinking beer with Canadian twins at the Dolphin bar, climbing a waterfall in the Yanata rainforest using a chain bolted into the side of a rock ( only in China babyy), or just chullen by the beach drinking from a coconut with my homies, well, it has all made one great vacation. Yeah, and if you want to know about the bar fight ;) you'll have to ask my face to face. Don't worry mom, it's just a good story-no blood or broken bones! Hey, guys see you in 3 days! I'm coming hooooommeeeeeee
