rogerluli Posted May 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 The most amazing thing about tiny Qionghai is that it has a KFC AND a McD's! And pretty soon (2010) we're gonna' get the choo-choo... and then the plane... But the wife reports that there still is not one single big modern supermarket... I keep telling her that with the pace of development there that there will probably be several before we are living there in 4 years...When we first started looking at Qionghai in 2005 there was one lonesome housing development listed on Soufun...When we bought our first place in 2006 there were seven...today there are more than 50 spread over the area from the hot springs area in the western part of Qionghai to the coast at Boao in the east... Say there Waingro... B) What do y'all know about Yacheng??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waingro Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm in the hotel industry, so I know all about the crazy development planned for this island... Never been to Yacheng. I'm guessing it's just another overpriced tourist trap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerluli Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Never been to Yacheng. I'm guessing it's just another overpriced tourist trap. Yuck, yuck, yuck...I fooled you on this one good buddy...Yacheng is the sleepiest little burg imaginable and yet it's only 40 km west of Sanya...I just love this video... See if you can spot the cop sitting down eating doughnuts until he realizes he's on candid camera and starts making his rounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerluli Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Ah people are always saying to me "Roger why do you want to live in sleepy little towns like Yuxi and Qionghai when you could be stylin' in places like Guangzhou or Beijing"...HAHA you think nothing ever happens in these places...Check this out...http://i41.tinypic.com/214npd2.jpgA 20 kg African tortoise that has grown from just .25 kg in just 4 years. The critter is a pet of a family in Qionghai although I wonder when its' the right size for soup... But seriously on the big town vs small town thinmngie...It's like my buddy HD said to me the other day when we were out walking around his pond... "I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion"...That HD sure has a way with words... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope we're still in the US...Laopo is SUPPOSED to be studying for the citizenship thinmgie but I haven't actually observed her cracking the book...
