One week from now, I will be in Hainan Island, China with my parents for their annual visit to my dad's hometown. The annual visit is especially to visit my maternal grandmother who has stayed in Hainan all these years. On this aspect, I am looking forward to the visit.
My younger brother and his wife have accompanied my parents on the visit last year and they related some horror stories regarding the state of hygiene. Of course the major cities like Haikou and Sanya are very developed (probably like Singapore), but the village which my grandmother is staying is still very much quite "ulu". It is normal to see villagers spit onto the floor during meals. When having a meal at the Hainan coffee-shop equivalent, life stock such as pigs and chicken will be waltzing pass you nonchalantly. Truth be told, I am a little apprehensive whether my weak Singaporean stomach can stand up to the test.
Hopefully, I can find internet connection in Hainan and will post the happenings from there. Meanwhile, I am trying to rest as much as possible to recover from the slight flu I am suffering from.
