Mother-Land!

Yes! I went to my Mother Land...literally my Mother's Land ....Hainan Island!!! =)

Been wanting to go for a long time and finaly step foot on Sanya, the most Southern tip of Hainan Island!
Was a relaxing getaway and we stayed in Marriot Resort. The service is absolutely wonderful. Decor and layout made the whole place look so relaxing and just makes you feel like resting and stoning and doing nothing else.

We went out to the Sanya city area the 1st day...it was totally disappointing!! Firstly, the city was pretty..hmmm...not-so-clean. The toilet had doors...but the doors had a big rectangle hole at the bottom half. Why fix doors then?! Secondly, being surrounded by C.pple makes me feel more stressed than anything with all that constant shouting and squeezing. *sigh* Given a choice, I will rather spend that extra day at the resort sleeping by the beach or pool !

Also found out that Sanya was the venue of MIss UNiverse in 2004 or something! hahaa we passed by the building built specially for the event!

But sadly, the beach is not as white and sandy and clear as I thought Sanya will be!

ANywyas its the company that counts! Had a great time with Elisa and Elaine!!!
We need another holiday soooon!!!!!!!! =)
