Megaboom Business Hotel Xiamen

Xiamen was a typical Chinese city. It was not very interesting really. About the only exciting thing that happened took place in a local department store. We were on the third floor looking for a few things that we needed back on the ship, and Cub couldn't find a bathroom. We must have asked a half dozen store clerks and none ...

... group seem to have the ubiquitous eggs and cake - rather them than us. We revisit the "King of Tulou" (it was almost dark when we passed by first) - the largest of them all which has over 200 rooms and once had around 600 people living there, now there are only 400. Despite the drop in population it's interesting because they have not turned the inside into a hotel or shopping experience and so it does feel like someone's home (well 400 someones!). We can climb up to ...

... I went round looking for internet but could not find any and the hotel were charging an arm and a leg so this has had to wait 24 hours - but that's another story.

In the morning we wander around the streets and take in the ambience. There is a Chinese residential area as well as the tourist area, although apparently it is hugely expensive to live here. It sounds like a small flat costs well over 100,000 pounds in this coastal part of China and it's hard to imagine how most ...

... the sofa, munching sunflower seeds and watching many and varied Korean tv shows dubbed into Chinese, each featuring equally ridiculous love-triangles and pained looks. However I have also been taken to see the main sights of Jimei. 5 years ago, the school village was the main sight of Jimei, but how times have changed. There is now a massive museum built on land that was sea when I was last here, dedicated to the founder of the school village, Tan Kah Kee. He ...

... winter is coming. I guess Santa is already waiting up there in the northern plains of Novosibirsk, all packed up and ready to go. After breakfast I felt it is time to become active or freeze to death, so I enquired about air tickets to somewhere warm. Hainan island was quite a long way, but the girls at the reception got me a very cheap ticket to Xiamen, a place on the southeast coast I always wanted to visit, with a forecast promising more than 20 degrees down there ...

... we need to work on over the next couple of days. Perhaps we can find something on the island.

After a shower and a rest, we went for lunch at the hotel we had discovered. Good value, with lots of seafood, including prawns and scampi-like creatures on sticks which tasted good but which I found difficult to eat. The locals seemed to put the whole thing in their mouth, chew them up, then spit out the shells and other inedible bits. There were also delicious ...
