Trip to Ancestor's Hometown - Hainan, China (Day 5 & 6)

Day 5 (25 Feb)
We left Sanya this morning for Haikou. It will be a long journey. We passed by the Beauty Crown Cultural Centre and the driver told us that this was the place where Miss Universe was held.

Arrived @ Haikou at around 12.30pm today from Sanya. Last nite, we had a quick dinner @ McDonalds. This morning, we also had McDonalds breakfast. Apparently, it was the first experience for Yan, (Jiang's wife) and the driver. To us, it's cheap. But to them, we understood that it's too expensive. They are unable to afford.
Hmm ... it just reminds me how fortunate we are.



When we arrived in Haikou, we spotted Carrefour, Pizza Hut, KFC and many big shopping malls. Suddendly, civilisation and urbanisation seems to quickly creep back. The big brands which we saw on the signboards was like ... wow .... we can relate to that.

In the evening, it was meeting with relatives from Haikou. Yeap ... more relatives. It was only after dinner that the driver brought us to what we call a 'nite tour' of Haikou. Grandma love this tour best coz. it doesn't require her to get out of the vehicle at all. This is the haikou bridge & it's nite scenery. Beautiful! But i think i enjoy the nice cool weather more.




Day 6 (26 Feb)
It's the day to go home. I enjoyed the trip tremendously and i only wish that my cousin Lynn and afew others could join us. It would have been perfect. It was also funny or like what auntie soo said ... erie.

Before we boarded the plane, dad asked the crew members if it was a full flight and they said yes. But it turned out that everyone had chosen their own seats (coz. it's tiger airways) and the only one left is next to Grandma. And guess what she said ... oh .. maybe grandpa (who has passed on abt 20 years back) is seating next to her and protecting us. That's why no one is seating next to her. Ha ha! My grandma can surely joke man!
