Family suppport.

Here is the owner behind the counter.

My cousin Nina opened a small food stall at a food court near the Majid Jamek Putra Station.

The dish was crap. The rice was just plain rice and the chicken was just boiled. Yuck!

Note the #price. Very #expensive.

After a two hour bus ride from the #resort we arrived at the #Haikou Meilan International Airport, one of two airports for the island. After checking in with Dragon Air, we saw this advertisement in a restaurant - Hainan Chicken Rice!

Got #two #rooms

Waiting at the #platform with other #students from the #university going #home for #Christmas.

In the morning we took a taxi to get to the train station. From the bleak platform you can see the military airfield.

Note the many villas on the hills. Was told that these villas are being built to be sold to the Chinese as holiday homes.

At the moment practically empty as it was Christmas break.

Below is one of the halls of residence.

We then went to visit the #University. Below is the international centre.

Wishing those celebrating a Prosperous Lunar New Year!

The opening #speech.

Below was the #bunting regarding the #conference or #seminar that I attended.

The gang with warm clothing on.

Next morning we started early to explore the small town of St Andrews. Typical British weather, dark and gloomy. Even the townspeople tend to stay indoors.

The Bear Grylls pocket guide on "Priorities of Survival" is rather useful. However, I would have preferred it if was made in a small booklet form instead of a "folding piece of paper" form.

Interestingly, #Gerber provides #lifetime #guarantee for this product.

We tend to associate fire starting with matches or a lighter. We know of traditional methods of rubbing things together to generate heat and hence flame (never tried it because it takes a lot of effort). However, there is another method which is seldom talked about. Making fire by generating sufficient sparks from fire starters. Fire starters are usually made out of flint, metal and magnesium.

Arrived at the resort late in the evening after a long bus drive across the island. I was impressed with the set up. Very modern.

Got a gift from Seiko Malaysia......
