TRIP TO XIAMEN

I brought penguin along with me. On the very first day, i found a kiddie hand print on penguin's tummy! Grrr... that little devil! Eventually, I realized that my 5 year old nephew was also in love with penguin, just like many other friends. He would often tell me, "Penguin is so cuuuute, faaat and cuuuuddly..."



This is one of the places by the beach where the island of Taiwan is visible.



These are the famous universities in Xiamen.
Take note of the seawater pool. I actually saw half naked men swimming in that dirty pool. it's not that dirty, but it doesn't look like an ordinary pool na blue. it;s more of natural lake na may lumot and all but tiled all over. (kung gwapo lang sana yung mga andun... pero.... wag na, di bale nalang.)






This is the most commercialized tourist spot in Xiamen. Tourist guides can be hired at 10-20RMB (70-140Php). This island has the highest ratio of resident to piano.



This is a rock mountain within the city of Xiamen, and also the most challenging task in all of our destinations.



Tsinoy pala si Rizal?! haha, i used to think that this is just a rumor or what not. His province is next to my grandparents'. He has a munument there with a better landscape than the one at Luneta.



This is a province... though it looks more like a city. If you want to buy wholesale garments and sell it to Divisoria, this is the place to be, the home of garments factory in China. This also happens to be my dad's province. Andito rin yung mga maiitim and not so fair-skinned Chinese. So now i know where i really came from.



and finally, i was able to see my ancestral house!
