round 2

takeaways from the past few days:

• Wuhan has really bad air quality. Don’t plan on visiting till after the next 3 years, as all the construction and road works will continue till then.
• Try not to take China Southern flights from Wuhan to Haikou, Hainan. The plane we took was horribly old and cramped; the toilet door required some tugging before it would close; the main plane door took the cabin attendant at least 5 tries slamming it shut before she succeeded. It was a rather scary sight.
• the Intercontinental Hotel in Sanya, Hainan, has beautiful rooms and seems a good place for a romantic getaway (unfortunately i was alone). Here’re some pictures of the standard (cheapest) room there:

it even had a balcony you could rest and admire the view from – too bad it was really late by the time we got there, and we had to get up by 5am to catch our flight the next day:
