6/8/2016 - 13/8/2016: Oh Tau You 之厦门之旅

So we have been planning for a family trip since forever. Our last family trip was to Taiwan at August 2014. And there's cheap flight ticket to Xia Men for Rm1115 per person. So 7 of us, including my uncle, my auntie and my popo, flied there to find our relatives at 福建惠安.

It's my first time visiting them and I don't know what to expect. The moment we stepped out of the arrival hall we saw them waiting for us for quite long. Our flight has been delayed a lil. They drove us back to their kampung. xD And it's amazing! A big stone house just like what you would see in the TV programme 爸爸去哪儿.

And they build another house just opposite this main stone house and we went there visit and I saw my source of happiness - modem!!!! Chit chatted for awhile, they always serve tea so we have been drinking lots of tea for a week, after breakfast, after lunch, after dinner, just about every single time we have nothing to do.

1st dinner at kampung. OMG! We were shocked by the number of dishes they served. 9 dishes and 2 soups. Wow!

好有爱啊

And the day ended with tea session. The day always end with tea session. Hahaha! I'm starting to like that kind of relaxing tea session.

Day 2

It's damn early when the sun shines through the window. We woke up at 6.15am OMG. Went to bai bai. xD The place where they place the ancestor's name to let us bai bai looks just like in the movie.

We went to a place where they have many statues there. And small kids bought a high tech cap that generates electricity to power the small fan using solar energy. Hahaha!

Took a few jumping pose there while others went to play by the beach. Watched a few performances there and time to head back. All those sun really tires one out.

Day 3

Went to 海丝艺术公园. Beautiful place. They have this space for smoke fountain or water fountain I'm not sure and it looks a lil like saharan, where you can get a pic of your reflection hahaha!

And I have no idea where is this. Hahaha! They just bring us to everywhere without telling us the name of the place.

Day 4

The most fruitful day. Hahaha! We went to 开元寺 -> 少林寺 -> 闽台缘 -> 清源山.

 So the tower behind us is 西塔. There are 东塔and西塔at the east and west side. This place is called 开元寺.

 Next we went to 少林寺. Seriously there are people here training kung fu and exercise.

 And here is 闽台缘. The picture on the background... is made by... firecrackers... yep. xD

 And my sis took this photo with her thumb in the pic. Haiz... Failed photographer.. xD

 Our dinner! Pretty nice! xD So weird, they really do love peanut. Even the 粽子 have peanut butter sauce at the bottom.

We went to 清源山 after dinner. To yumcha. xD Literally yumcha. There's a lot of people there even though it's a weekday and it's night time.

My cutie niece! xD Suddenly she wanna stick with us. Previously she just ran away when we asked her stuff. xD

And it's 七夕情人节 too! My China cousin bought 99 roses for his wife. Aww....

Day 5

After yesterday full activities, today is rest day. Hahaha! We practically stayed at the stone house and had tea whole day. We had a good look around the kampung in the evening, visiting the school, they not only have chicken and ducks, they have pig too! And it stinks. Hahaha!

Day 6

And we finally headed to Xia Men. Thanks to cousin and uncle, they fetched us from the kampung to Xia Men and helped us move to the new place. We booked it at AirBnB and it's not that bad! The only bad thing is it rained whole day. Sad.

We still managed to go to 中山路 in the evening though. We went shopping! And I had KFC mango ice cream! It tastes nice!

Day 7

Xia Men day tour. We planned to go 鼓浪屿 but unfortunately the tickets are all sold out. This gives us a perfect reason to visit here again! xD

We went to 厦门大学, at least we saw it, hahaha! Then we head back to our place and rest.

Our cousins came to visit us again! Had dinner together and walked around here. It was nice. Just relaxing.

Day 8

It's the day. We ended our trip by taking instax and we went to airport. Bye!

 This is just a small part of the family. Happy to know them. Hope to see them visiting Malaysia! xD

Gotta show some pictures of our meals. Seriously the portion is scary.

Hahaha! I had a relaxing and fun time there! xD Definitely going back there again! One day! =D
