At the End of the Earth
Hello from Sunny Sanya!
“Sunny Sanya” is the name of the hotel I’m staying in, down in the very south of China. The city is Sanya, in Hainan Island. I left home in minus 4 degree weather, wearing five layers of clothes. By the time I arrived in Sanya, I was wearing a T-shirt in 29 degree weather, with lots of sun and NINETY EIGHT PERCENT HUMIDITY! I was sweating like a pig and loving it! I may never return to Beijing. Well, I have to return to Beijing, but for now, I am dreaming of staying here forever…
After unpacking my clothes, I walked along the beach for while (more crowded than I expected, with the holiday being over) then sat down in a cafe overlooking the water. It was so relaxing to sit in the shade, listening to the waves crashing, watching people play in the water. In the evening, I found another bar/restaurant/cafe by the water where a live band was playing.
But now I think I’ve had enough relaxation. Tomorrow I’m going to take some bus tours in the morning, maybe go to see another beach nearby, to see how it compares, then I plan to swim all afternoon. It should be good exercise. And fun!

May,
I did bring sunscreen, but I used it too late! Some parts of me are already burned after one day, well, only a small part of one day, in the sun. It looks like I will spend the next two days in the shade. Relaxing, sipping tea, getting a massage by the sea… poor me!!
