Day Twenty-Six

Hey everyone! I am now in the comfortable confines of Sanya, Hainan. This morning half of our group left to come back home. The rest of us met up in the hotel lobby to check out. Once we checked out we hired some taxis to take us to the charter bus station. Unfortunately, when we were getting out of the taxi I tried to assist our driver and further ripped the front passenger seat in his cab. This angered the small man and he began to incessantly yell at me. Long story short, he tagged along us into the bus station until I rightfully paid him 100 RMB, ( = $15 USD).

Anyways, once we rid ourselves of the disgruntled taxi driver we jumped onto the bus to start our trip from Haikou to Sanya, Hainan. The ride wan no more than three and a half hours. Once we got to the city my friend Fiona, her mother and I split up from my professor and her assistant, ( they will be staying at the Marriott, 30 minutes away). We got my new resting place Tianfuyuan Resort around three o'clock. I'm all settled in.

Since all the other students are gone I can only access the internet via the hotel's business center so henceforth I will probably only post in the early afternoon "my time." I'm going to go on a hotel and beach adventure right now. I have all the amenitities I need so I won't be leaving the hotel today or tonight. Love you guys!

Hey Jordan, great stories. I'd like to hear more about the hobo battle. What's the weather like over there? All the best,
