My Dear Great Ones,
Celia and I headed to Sanya, Hainan, China for a few days. There we found the garden of Eden and let ourselves relax and savour His goodness to us. In the evenings we ventured outside and encountered the crazy contrasts that are big part of what China is.
Dinners at our resort were expensive, but just outside near the entrance was a man selling hot sweet potatoes for pennies Canadian. Note the expensive looking apartment buildings. Very nice, but very empty, at night only a few apartments in each building were lit up. There were hardly any people around either. Very un- China like.
Some abstract art near these buildings amused us.
About a block from our Garden of Eden resort was real China with coconuts and drinks and food at a fraction of the price that our resort was demanding. Coke at the Garden of Eden was 28 Yuan about $4.50 Canadian, at the local yokels it was 3 Yuan. About 60 cents. For me this discrepancy is what makes China so interesting.
A local store. Packaged chicken feet instead of mars bars were offered here. Note the cases of beer.
We were married under the bougainvilleas not that long ago.
The beach nearby was ok, rather manmade, but hey I shant whine too much.
Lots of dead coral on the beach. In the water the coral and fish life was very good and alive.
Some locals enjoying time on the beach.
Celia and I feel very rested and grateful for the chance to rest in such a nice place like Sanya.
God bless you and have a great week.
Love adios and ping on!
Dirk
