Hainan - China's tropical island

Chilling out at Hainan, China’s tropical island. We are at the same latitude as Vietnam. The next 20 pictures are from here, a 5 day trip in May with my parents and XM ;)

Jeg døser ut på Hainan, Kinas tropiske øy. Vi er på samme høydegrad som Vietnam. De neste bildene er herifra, en 5 dagers tur sammen med mine foreldre og Veslemøy ;)

Open air folk museum

The 4 of us travelling together, mum, dad, XiaoMei and me. First attraction up was a “cultural village”. Actually a pretty good place, but unfortunately also a tourist trap in the sense that it was far too much people, the taxi recommended it (for God knows how much commission from the park), and the park was full of handcrafts/ souvenirs that you were pushed into buying.

Vi fire reisende, mamma, papa, Veslemøy og meg. Første attraksjonen på turen var en ”kulturell landsbygd” (ala Maihaugen). Egentlig ett ganske bra sted, hvis det ikke også en turistfelle iom alt for mange folk, taxien pushet det på oss (for gudene vet hvor høy provisjon), og attraksjonen var full av selgere som skulle prakke på håndverk og souvernierer.

Utensils

Here’s some utensils used by farmers.

Jordbruks gjenstander, nesten som på Maihuagen?

Hungry apes

The monkeys in the large netting cage seemed quite friendly and cute, but maybe hungry for more?

Apekattene i den store netting inngjerdingen virket ganske så vennlige og søte, men kanskje de var sultne på mer?

Bitten by a certified ape..

Well, if bitten by an ape, it is good to know it is certified. We were quite concerned that mum would get rabies or who knows what, but finally we were convinced that patching her up was enough.

Vel, hvis man blir bitt av en ape er det jo greit å vite at den er ”sertifisert ren”. Vi var ganske bekymret for at mamma skulle få rabies, stivkrampe eller verre ting, men til slutt ble vi overbevist om att desifisering og plaster var nok.

BBQed "wiener"

This incident was part of a “culture show” and although the torch did not go smooth through the pants (like it should have), I don’t think the artists had any lasting burns after this.

Som vi alle vet, ikke grill “weener-pølser” med flammer, prøv å la de trekke i ett varmt bad istedenfor. Disse uheldige oppviserne skulle egentlig sende fakkelen raskt gjennom buksa, ikke sette fyr på understellet, men de hadde nok dette showet 20 ganger daglig så de var nok herdet.

Chewing Betel makes you slightly csrazy

Betel is a kind of a fruit/nut that is a popular weak drug that locals in south east Asia has a (bad) habit of chewing. I tried it, and could not feel such a strong effect, but on the picture I must admit that I do look a little strange. PS: I did not “inhale” as presidents use to say.

Betel er en slags nøtt med en svak narkotisk effekt, populær i sørøst asia. Jeg merket ikke så mye av det når jeg tygde på den, men må jo inrømme at jeg ifall på bildet ble en smule sprø.

Eating seafood in Hainan

Here is various fresh seafood soon to be on our plates. But I was not allowed to order 1 kg of shrimps, because that much is “impossible” to eat for only 4 persons, yeah right.

Her er forskjellige sorter sjømat adskilte som snart ligger på våre tallerkner. Men jeg fikk ikke lov til å bestille så mye som 1 kg reker til 4 personer, for innehaveren mente at jeg som utlending hadde missforstått hvor mye man kan spise av det, ja sæærlig!
