厦门 - 福建 - 中国

okie... as mentioned in the earlier post....

xiamen was my first stop.... it was not a wise choice to make this the first stop... or maybe even to stop at this place for this trip... however, since my mother told my 叔公 that we are gg there even way before we planned for this trip, we have to go ahx...

but luckily we went.... get to know more abt 叔公 and get to know more abt my grandma and grandpa when they were younger.....

厦门 is quite a nice place... not very fast pace with not a lot of ppl... a city that is not very developed

my 叔公 brought us to a few places... like 鼓浪屿 - a city of pianos a pity we didnt get to the top where u will get a see xiamen from there cos it was raining heavily... and we have to miss it....

i think the main purpose of this trip to xiamen was to visit my shugong rather than visiting the attractions over there.... therefore, i think i can say my objective was met cos we did have a good chat with him....

=)

Photos taken there....

we stayed at my shu gong's house throughout our trip there.... something to mention was that even though his house was old, it was designed and built by my shu gong

on the sleeper bus from xiamen to guangzhou... interesting... nv realised china got such buses... no seats at all man! ... only beds... according to someone, it used to be double bed than single bed and no matter who u get beside u, u have to bear with it... omg manx...scary right...
