First Day in Xiamen, China

This is our very first day in Xiamen, does not feel like China at all, perhaps all the China places that I had been to was the scenic and tourist places, this feels really backward and not interesting. Being the photo person like me, i didnt take more than 5 photos today. Amazing.

Well, its 8pm and we are back in the hotel room, nothing much to do as we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow and we need to re-org.

Went to try the foodcourt today and it tasted really bad.. Though it looked good.



In the end we had to resort to eating Mcdonalds.. Haha!




The traffic is quite scary, nearly got banged by a bus on our extreme right and it was right at my face.. when the brakes screeched to a stop.. phew..



Got "cut queues" by so many Chinese people that I decided no more nice lady here. Funny end to our first day, should go see this "Gulangyu" place that everyone is telling us about. Perhaps on the 27th when we have nothing much to do..

And a testimonial, one of the manufacturers told us that there will be typhoon and storms in Xiamen and Quanzhou where we are heading, and he told us to be careful! So we got Pastor Sally to pray for us, and when we were in the cab, the cabby driver told us that it was good, the storm made a turn and headed towards Shenzhen instead of here. God is good.. May He bless the rest of the journey! Amen!

Love,
Jewel in China, Xiamen Hua Xia Hotel!
