Xiamen Huamin Hotel

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 ...

... reason given that it is very hot and humid back at the coast, the swimming pool is closed because it is Autumn. Evening meal was an interesting experience; we tried to find a place Nancy had recommended but were not sure, ended up in a nice place called Noodles with a menu totally in Chinese but with pictures. Mimi ended up with the largest bowl of noodles you ever saw and I chose a set meal because I thought that would be easy - but still had to choose the protein ...

... island - a pinnacle of rock with a cable car. Huge tour groups have matching caps and guides with megaphones. It's a typical Chinese idea of a park - manicured and carved into perfection. There's a lovely notice in tourist office explaining how the artificial rocks and gardens in one place make it "entirely natural". However the island is vehicle free except for electric cars so outside the main tourist area it's quite pleasant and peaceful.<br><br>In theory you can swim in the sea ...

... school. When your parents are farmers or street sweepers there really is no other way, except prostitution of course. There are no school loans etc. Anyhow, I had walked enough for this day and couldn't be bothered walking all the way back once I had found a bank. Instead I sat for my daily coffee at Mc Donald's and read some ...

... area to walk around and there is also an International Youth Hostel back up the road a little. I never spotted the sign until a few nights later. The temple was a great time. I left English (Daniel and Alexa) at the market place and headed across to the temple. Once through the gate I spent half an hour walking around the gardens out front taking photos and chatting ...

... when we got here after talking to one of the staff we decided to check out the Nasa club that he recommended and it ended being a top decision, talk about a crazy club, they don't make bars like that back home. When we pulled up in the taxi we had our doors opened for us and were then walked inside where we were promptly seated at the bar and sorted out with drinks. Talk about crazy, as soon as we got our ...
