First post a summary
8 and 9th of march chronicles
8th march
it was a gloomy fair day and I was in a semi dull mood to board the flight to the airport. Our flight number was tr936 on air airways. Was my first time going to the budget airlines and I was really surprised that it was quite small and looked more like a warehouse then a fully fledged airport.
The immigration was quite smooth and soon we were on our way to the walking gallery to the airplane. The flight was quite smooth as we landed in hainan island after we flew 3 hours. Was kind of sick of flying but was enthusiastic at first but then the novelty went off and I was again in the drag mode when I am faced with the inevitable strain of having to sit in the same position for hours on hand.
However, we reached haikou in hainan I was quite delighted that the weather on that day was really cooling bet abit too humid. However the feeling was great and the tour guide that leaded us was a really nice young chap who has many experiences with singaporeans. Generally his experiences were mainly negative as singaporeans sometimes can be really calculative and really kaisu and kiasee lol. Well thats what you can call survivor instinct
when we were along the way I saw a first hand ginst of hainan island and there was the cultural shock. The place was rather quite backwards and underdeveloped. Really pales in comparison when I was in the us but then there retains this old country charm that really rests well with us when we think of the old kampong days in singapore. We have come a long way.
When we reached the hotel which is a 5 star hotel and called wai ka hotel. It was a great 5 star hotel in the middle of town in wenchang. We quickly settled down and went to explore the place after dinner which is a pretty decent 8 course dinner with some local dishes like mixed vegetables clay pot , braised pig meat, lettuce , cai xin , bean curd and other typical Chinese delicacies. What totally blew me off was the quality of the vegetables and also the taste of the rice. It was really good and I must day it was fantastic. Really better then the unusual Thailand rice we have in Singapore.
Thereafter we went to meet up with our relatives in Hainan and it was an emotional one as some of my aunties were in tears and crying with each other. The relationship was really complex to me and I was happy enough to be complacent with just having to have met them.
After much talking and catching up we were back to bed and we turned in after meeting some long missed relatives that I have not even seen.
It was during the night that my stupid brother failed to come back at a certain timing when he promised and I was told to go find him and I was like asking high and low for his whereabouts at 2.30am in the morning. It was until I found him filling up the feedback form at the front desk counter.
March 9th 2008
was up and running at 6.15am in the morning and was on the bus out of the hotel after 7.30. had a hearty breakfast in the morning with porridge ( as usual their rice dishes were great) and also some sweet cake, fried kway teow, tea egg and some other classic favorites. It was then travelling all day along to the song sisters mansionnate which is like a mini museum now. It was enriching and it certainly made hainan island headlines.
After that we went off with our relatives in Hainan to our ancestor homes and their village, they were really hospitable and treat us to a really rare Singaporean view of full on fireworks . I was so close I was never so deaf in my life lol.
Later we went over for a short walk to our ancestor grounds and was quite surprised that It took around 15 minutes walk into the forest and pass bys a few buffalos which technically shitted when we tried to scare it. After a few moments at the tomb we went off back into the house.
Thereafter we had some sweet/sour kway which was homemade and a little tough to my liking and also tried the coconut. I was a really wonderful experience and it was a very long time when I had my first coconut in a totally rural area.
After a full family photo and also some final greetings, we went off for our super late lunch at a restaurant which has really talkative hostesses and also some really , I mean really good chicken coconut rice. In hainanese cuisine, there are 4 main dishes, which is chicken, duck, mutton and mixed vegetables clay pot. Which is like the four standard cuisines in any haianese dish.
After that we went over a river over back to our old town in a river ferry and then we proceeded to check into our hotel and prepared for a tiffany show which is the transvestite show (which highlights the pride of people with this “disability, a total waste of time). During the show, we had a really unpleasant experience with some of the Chinese nationals which we cannot entirely blame them. They had the tendency to spilt and do it loudly. Sometimes I really wonder how the world people at the 2008 Olympics will be like with their own local people spitting all around the stadium. We then went on for some late night shopping and also to tune in.
on that day , the most unfortunate incident was when I accidently hit my head on the ferry steel beam which really left me with a bruise on my head which makes me like ultraman lol. The mosquito problem is also prevalent because of the lush vegetation and coconut trees and such but then the mosquitos are slower then the Singaporean ones but are more venomous then the Singaporean variety as that makes up for their speed.
Generally I feel really sad to see the people quite poor but also really excited that hainanese ladies are really pretty ! Keke. Never have I thought that beauties exist in such a developing town. But as the island grows I am sure it will find the right footing for economic growth. For the moment however, Chinese people should learn how to treasure and preserve what is beautiful which is their really nice gardens and also scenery. However, going by the number of different institutions they have like a really hilarious coconut research center and also separate public works. I hope that bureaucracy, red tape and systematic corruption do not do it in.
The weather for that day is around a cool 24 degrees and 21 degrees wind chill. However the sun is quite generous and it may be hot on certain days.
Ok this is the latest entry as of now will write more tomorrow
12th of march 2008
I am writing on the bus now and is on the way leaving the tourist town of san ya and going towards the mountain of wu zi or 5 fingers in the eastern centre region of Hainan. After about 4 days of going around the island, I can really see the wealth disparity of the county and also the rural charm of the island. Surprisingly Hainan island has got lots of flat arable land. Considering that Hainan island is 39 times the size of Singapore , that is really quite a considerable amount of land.
Went to many made for tourists resorts and am quite contended with all the tourist traps of the island. We went to a few resorts like the tian ya hai ziao and many other beach resorts around the island. We went around to nan shan which is the southern mountains which is the most southern part of china or the ancient Chinese would say is the ends of the earth. The rushing pushing and shoving was med and people just push and pushed. My aunt was really pissed and shouted loudly at all the domestic tourists to move and make way for the people to move out of the train before the people outside can go in. if you think Singaporeans lack social grace , go look at the china man , they are a cut above the rest I must say.
The beauty of the landscape is encapsulated by the dreaded hard work you see by the farmers. Farming is really really hard work. Whole days under the sun and also hours and hours of toiling. This really makes you think twice about life. Even construction work is also done with women. This is really a big change to the acres of palm trees and plantations I see in Malaysia.
Saw also lots of accidents involving all forms of vehicles and most accidents were due to negligence and not letting of way. This is common when you look at the way they drive lol.
What fascinates me is the number of cctvs channel they have and also how they commercialize theme parks. It was the first time in my life knowing that even Buddhist beliefs like nan shan shi can also be commercialized. The whole temple is made into a giant theme park of faith. This is really a shrewd marketing strategy. Parks and parks of theme parks and also the same old standard of food is slowly wearing me off. But still it’s great to be a tourist. Being spoon feed all the time by the tourist guide.
On a side note, I was told by my brother that to live a standard or average life in Hainan, one needs about 800RMB per month which is about 120 Singapore dollars a month.
As I am writing I can see the eastern coast and I must say the sea is really really beautiful. The road limit is 100 km/h and as I speak the coast is also under varies developments.
In san ya last night, we all went to the lovers bridge near our hotel and it looks like the place is also catered to the Russians and also the middle eastern. Hainan has always been a sea port but without the centre governments funding and help , the country can only go this far. Seafood and also sleazy looking adult health parlors are also seen beside our hotels. My parents and my relatives themselves went off to a beauty parlor for a haircut , instead all of them got china man and china women hair cuts instead lol.
Throughout this trip I have always been fascinated with the mountains. They were ever so majestic and one look at them makes you want to just go up and shout at the top of your voice to let the world hear what you have to say.
In china everywhere you can do u turns and also the most irritating part is the use of horns and everywhere you go people are constantly using horns and more horns.
As I type now most of the people are sleeping due to fatigue and constant travelling. Aunt lai hia is watching her serials on her dvd and uncle is taking photographs around the place . Edbe is listening to hi s mp3 on his mp3. I wonder how long are we reaching the place.
Generally the food in Hainan island is quite edible for restaurant styled food. However for a restaurant level you cannot compare to other levels for big cities. The really prominent part is the use of coconut in almost every dish. Their rice is exceptionally fragrant which tastes like a blend of coconut milk and chicken stock. They also have a kind of bread with butter or red bean in the morning. Half boiled eggs, really oily fried noodles, buns and also an assortment of other standard food for breakfast. Yes they do sell dog meat and no I have not tired it before.
Pearl centers , medicine parlors and tea houses these are just the assortment of tourist traps places where they will actively pursuit you to buy into their products.
Weather wise the days are almost the same as Singapore but with a slightly lower humanity and the nights are actually quite chilly.
Ok I am reaching will write soon again
ok I am back on the bus , running abit late on the next destination and was at dong shan. Really a touristy place and also as usual they are using religion to touch your consciousness and buy you in to buy joss sticks and full package praying materials to the temple. One lion statue costs 600 Singapore dollars and that is really very expensive for a stone.
Now I really have a different prospective for the term commercial tourist trap. This is really big business and this kind of business is really appalling. The tourist industry is really heating it up. Our tour guide nono was kind of like a vessel to transport us around and help us to not fall into the trap but also to push it if he sees fit. Really an experience.
On dong Shan we sat a really cool open tram up to the mountains and It was the first time I have sat such a thing and guess what tiger bear is printed on top of the trams but no tiger bear can be seen at any of the restaurants.
Green plains are outside and what I can see are crops of rice , pepper plants, coconuts, winter melon, green belanjors, vines of grapes and many other common vegetables. The good thing about eating those vegetables are that they were very fresh ! Full of favor and were very well cooked.
Just had one of those hainanese crackers rolled all up and really enjoyed them. Coconut mik being the main ingredient. Lots of kinds of coconut were available and coconuts were made to all kinds of products. As the saying goes that a prince once sat under a coconut tree and the tree almost hit him. He was so angry that he ordered hundred of coconut trees to be skinned, drained and meated. Which means that all parts of the coconut can be eaten. From the skin to the meat and lastly the blood. This gave rise to the popularity of coconut. Where the prince wants to eat the skinned, meat and blood of the coconut. Giving coconut its popularity today in Hainan island.
As usual china has got lots of stone structures and the tombstone that were near a temple as viewed as most desirable and that’s the reason why in ancient china people like to bury their dead on paths leading towards temples.
Hainan island has got full greenery all round and the leaves are board like and also Singapore like too. However from what I see are just normal scrubs and many of the natural trees are being burned for agriculture. The problem is that Hainan island do face haze and pollution problems exceptionally on dry months and deliberate fires are made year round to clear crops when they were harvested. This makes it was dangerous as fire go out of hand.
The china government is also on a campaign to educate the public the importance of hygeine and also forest fires which is just a first step to help resolve this problem. Simply people must do their part and help , however this does not seem to be working as the people in china are too obstress with money and that its either the environment or them. Hence lots needs to be done to improve the situation.
Final notes
Finally the end of the trip and also a few days of recap to the good old days of travelling. Really missed the charismatic place of hainan and I came back with a knowledge of how my relatives look like and the people and also a new prospective of the land which my fore fathers came from. This has always been my uncles and many other relatives wish that such a trip could reinforce our family bonding and also understanding each other better.
I hope this trip will forge together many more family trips in the future to come.
13th march 2008
writing on the plan now and also sorting out my thoughts on the whole trip.
First of all I would like to summarise our last day of touring in hainan. On the last last day we went to the middle eastern part of the island which is called dong shan , as I said in my last post religuion has greatly been commercialised.and also falling into the tourist trap and the industrilisation of hainan island. Hainan has been a token gateway protal for the last few centries and it has now been used by the chinese government for trade with the russian and the nothern hemisphere. More lately hainan island has also been a launch pad for china's international space programme. Steps have been made to help to modernisse the island and the island is slowly shaping up to raise to the challenges of modernisation.
We sat on a 7 hour trip back to haikou from san ya and was really late on some of the stops. We rushed and managed to get to the hotel by 8pm . The hotel is called hai yang hotel which is on the fringe of the shopping district. We met up with out relativs for one last time and saw a few similar faces and it was quite an interesting meeting with last exchanges ad byes. Hard to believe that we actually have distant relatives. Their pay was also appauling that their monthly pay was only 250 RMB per month and they really lead a hard life. The rich and poor drivide was really abvious and the capitalist system is showing off its ugly head. However this will have to depend on how the chinese government handle the situation rather then count on means to control the poorer rural people and accentunate the rich.
Hai kou on the physical side was more of a more developed city with lots of taiwanese styled bulding. However based on the clamping down of the chinese government and also due to unforseen situations beggers are rarely seen. People in hainan generally more slow in their lifestyle and their driving is more slow and carefree compared to singaporeans.
Hainan island is definitely the reason why my acesters left the island for better pastures. And this I will bear in mind the memories and the sacrifices they made when they came over to nanyang
