The Chinese love their tea, so coffee is rarely offered in the mornings. So for a few days now, my Dad had been on coffee-withdraw and he wasn’t happy about it. Thankfully, the morning of day two was filled with nothing but coffee. We went to the local coffee manufacturing company and were offered samples of their different types of coffee, coffee biscuits, and coffee lollies. I gave dad my share. He was a very happy man. =D
Which reminds me of the time my dad and I were in Guang Zhou and my cousin offered to take my dad to a place where they sold the best coffee. He said that everyone he'd taken has unanimously agreed it was the best stuff.
... it turned out to be Starbucks.
LOL!

After my dad got his fix, we rode a speed boat to Boundary Island. But because of the rainy weather, the sea was very rough, which made the ride so much more fun! On the other hand, because of the bad weather I couldn’t go scuba diving. =( My dad and I walked around the island instead.
Look how strong I am! =D
At Hainan, meat is a luxury and it’s very expensive. So every meal I had during my stay had been vegetarian. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against vegetarians, but let’s just say if I was a dinosaur, I would be Tyrannosaurus Rex! Fine, maybe I wouldn’t be that big, I’d probably be those creepy small dinosaurs who can open doors in Jurassic Park. I need meat!
What’s even worse is that every meal was the same. Mornings would be plain congee, plain buns, boiled egg, vegetables, and plain fried noodles, lunch and dinner was practically the same; there would be tofu, vegetables, slimy fake meat, noodles (which is probably crappy instant noodles) and seaweed soup. So when I saw chicken drumstick for sale, I was about to cry and bought it, even if it costs 12 bucks (2 AUD)!
& I tore it up.
I also bought my dad a beer (how bloke-y is that? =D) LOL He said it’s so diluted it’s like water. Later that night, he proved it.
Afterwards we went to this place called Binglanggu, but before that we had lunch and even before that I really had to pee. So outside this restaurant were the toilets.
So what is Binglanggu? It’s a mysterious rainforest! LOL!
My dad thought it would be funny to toy with the monkey. But when he got bored, and walked away, the monkey also disappeared.
THEN IT CAME BACK TO CLAW MY FOOT!
Nasty little bugger that monkey is.
Afterwards, I flew across the jungle, flying fox style. It was so awesome. But when they were explaining the safety instructions, I had no idea what was going on and I thought I might die because I didn’t press a button or something. My dad came to the rescue, of course. =D
Oh and at Binglanggu I met Cynthia! =OOOOOO
LOL! HAHAHA!
The next stop was another beach.
I’m not really a beach person. Yeah, I’m Australian and I don’t like the Beach. =) But at this beach I saw this sign:
& I laughed my arse off! LOL!
At night, my dad paid extra and we had a seafood feast!
It was delicious! =D but this crazy couple wasn’t satisfied and ordered TOFU! I was like ... O_O!
There was unlimited drink so this guy sitting next to me kept encouraging everybody to drink with him. Each bottle is 640mL. My dad and him ended up taking down 4 bottles each. The tour guide was drunk, but my dad was fine. On the way to the hotel, the red faced tour guide, got the microphone on the bus and told everyone he was going to get married in 3 months and then started singing! LOL! It was so funny, and he wasn’t a bad singer.
So jealous much, Cynthia?
i like the sound of that cheeky monkey!
