Hainan Trip =D

Okay, I shall try a new style of blogging for this post, cos there are pictures!
So I'll use the pictures as a guideline for the post.
Here goes!
At the budget teminal waiting for our flight off to Hainan, quite a big group eh?

Okay this picture was taken on the 2nd day, we didn't get to take pictures on the first day because we were too tired to do so, but we stayed up and told ghost stories, and made new friends from the other classes, it was really fun, then when the girls went to bed we stayed up and talked about stuff which I can't mention here. Haha. So yeah, the 2nd day, the picture above was taken at the temple/memorial of someone great from Hainan I think? The tour guide was speaking Chinese so I couldn't understand well.
The next stop after this temple was the volcano (coolness)
The pictures taken there aren't up yet, will edit this post after it comes up on Facebook.
But to get to the volcano, we had to climb up a flight of stairs which is 1 year's worth of exercise for me. But it was worth it to see the breathtaking view from the top.
This picture was taken at the 2nd hotel, we changed hotel almost everyday, as I said we didn't take any photos on the first day, so you won't get to see how our first hotel looked like.
We went for a foot massage at night, cos the huge flight of steps really caused our feet to ache, and we had more walking to do the next day. The bath robes are just for show, was quite comfortable. Hehe.Well, this shirt belongs to my brother, dunno why I brought it along, oh yeah and I changed out of it immediately after taking this photo. And, no we didn't squeeze the 3 of us in this bed.
Ain had the whole bed to herself after that.Okay, so the pictures above were taken in our 3rd hotel, yes, its where we took the most videos and photos, cos we stayed here for 3 days, as we were helping the students who study in the school of this town.Yup, this is how their primary school looks like, see the newly painted doors and windows in the background? Yup, we painted it for them. The students were kinda fun loving, but too much of it made us kinda annoyed, because they were disturbing us when we were painting, and making alot of noise and being super kaypoh as we were rehearsing our skit. But the time spent in this town was the best, we did lotsa lame stuff, we bought pellet guns and did target practice in the hotel rooms, played orientation group games together, blablabla.

These next few photos were taken during our farm stay, its not in order, but I'll describe, in the day we made lanterns, the kinds that we release and make it fly into the air, dunno how to describe, there's a video on Facebook which shows, you can go see if you like. After the making of the lanterns we went to the plantation to help them with the farming.~Picture taken with one of our tour guides~

These 2 photos were taken during the release of the lantern, cool stuff, I like the 2nd photo alot.Camwhoring here, but I only put one photo here.Being JiaHua's bodyguards for the night, armed with pellet guns =DWhile waiting for the fireworks to start, yup, we played with REAL fireworks, the kind you see at the NDP, theres a video on Facebook as well, haha.
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=71352133261This was taken during the last day, after lunch, a group photo for Baini.Doing last minute shopping for souveneirs before leaving.The new friends I made in Hainan, not all are new friends, some only. They're a really fun and cool bunch of people to hang out and chat with, very funny guys here as well.

All in all the trip was a good one, hope for more overseas trips like this with classmates, its really a time of bonding and having a lot of fun.
Okay, I guess that's all, more photos will be up on Facebook.
~Soon~
