My first week in Xiamen part 2

Ternyata belum selesai temen2....malem ini kita abis nyalon! Ternyata kita menemukan 1 salon yg lumayan 'convincing' di sekitar neighbourhood kita. Setelah mencari2 tau apa 'creambath' in chinese...kita brangkat k sono demi mencari salon yg bisa dijadiin langganan.













Impression pertama ok...soalnya tempatnya terang n bagus! Orang2nya pun ramah. Tapi yah gitu...ada sedikit culture shock.


Dimulai dari rambut kita yg dibungkus pake cling wrap (yg biasa dipake buat bungkus daging itu lohhh) lalu dipanasin pake heater yg puanassss reekkkk.....(like xiamen is not hot enuf!)








But at the end...the creambath turned out alright...at least rambut kita jd bersih n rapih....Its just tat next time we will be bringing our own hair spa cream :)

And the other thing is....China has so manyyy man power that buat ngelayanin 1 orang d salon aja perlu 2 pelayan :p Jadi during that 45 mnts, the both of us have 4 pelayan yang stick to us faithfully :)












AND the best part isssssss....(drum rolllllll)....it cost u only 25RMB (=5SGD)!!! Unbelievable!

Intermezzo.....
2 orang cina lg kongkow2.....












Promise this will be the LAST posting before Vietnam trip! hahahah....

My first week in Xiamen

Tgl 22 Sept kmrn ku menginjakkan kakiku di Xiamen. Setelah 4 jam perjalanan di pesawat yg puanasss bgtt..akhirnya kita sampe. Tadinya expect kalo bulan gini Xiamen dah mulai dingin2 adem...tp ternyata panasnnyaa lebih panas dr Sg boww...

Apalagi setibanya di rumah Ryan..mrk br pindahan n masi berantakan + debuan = perfect combination for the weather :p

So wat else is so amazing about this place?
1. Its CHEAP
Almost everything is cheap here. Sewa rumah aja yg udah condo, 3 kamar, baru, fully furnished and central area cmn 3300 RMB = 660SGD (equivalent to my room rental di toa payoh booo).

2. Chicken feet & teman2
Orang2 sini suka makanan2 exotic, and by exotic i mean rabbit meat, dog meat and friends. Pas d sebrang rumah kita, ada jg orang2 yg jualan chicken feet, duck feet and any other feet i suppose :)
Ngk hanya d pinggir jalan, tapi makanan2 yg dijual d supermarket2 besar spt Carefour pun lumayan unik, such as below:

Chicken feet











Kalo yg ini tuh chou dou fu alias tofu of 'strong odor' heheheh.... warnanya explains the taste i suppose.

Nah kalo yg ini tuh keluarga bebek yg terdiri dr sayap bebek (kiri atas), ceker bebek (kiri bawah), leher (kanan atas) dan mulut si bebek (kanan bawah)...smua lengkap boww...seruu yahhh







This is for the babe's family. Ada pig's hand (kiri) and pig's tail (tengah dan kanan) -- perhatiin nama yg tertera d label harganya deh hehehe








Nah kalo yg ini lebih manusiawi....Lay's rasa cucumber and lime (kok kayak wangi sabun pencuci piring yah)










Kalo ini --> baby carrier ala china hehehe could also be used to carry your groceries :)











Sekian updateku dari Xiamen- week 1.

The next blog will be from Vietnam ..cya!
