April world trip 21st to 27th Europe back to home

21st, we took train to see his mum. Can hear from phone that she is so excited . Only 2 hours by TGV . Arrived nantes, rent a car went to his mum home, first time I go there, Edith is so happy, she saw George's more than Nobel which is 300meter away . She has a beautiful home , the collection is amazing , lots of Chinese collection, she believes she was Chinese in past life . We definitely connected, her garden full of nice flowers, for a 70 years old lady. She lives very well .

Our seashell made e cloth so smelly, got a chance to open suitcase under the sun to remove the smell .  Went to see Nobel after lunch, Natalie is wired as we did not call before show up . George's said if he call , she will say no anyway, better just go. It is a strange relations family, like other French families .

We went on road from 6:30 to morlaix -- Bretagne area , home of seafood for France, once upon a period in history , Bretagne is the Center dispatch of seafood on whole Europe . It established a fresh truck logistic systems combined with platform for transit, France is 1200km long and 1000km wide. The logistic made it possible for delivery fresh seafood to everywhere in 24 hrs, that is why French meal becomes the most delicious in the world .

Bretagne is a special area, west coast of France where ocean meet mountain and land , rich seafood resource , rain 4 month of year. Easy to grow everything , forecast. Ocean, field, farmed cow . Most famous is sailer here, as boat has to sIl between stone and rock to ocean, every sail here has high skills of operation the boats . People here make living with sea . Formed tough and Caesar tried to uniform the whole Europe, but fail as Bretagne  people fight so hard for trying to be independent and no one can control this piece of land, I am total surprised to see this area of Franc, it is a mixed between German styled French, very different ,

Morlaix has a bridge in downtown , right above some building I saw this bridge befriend in movie . Very nice to see it in my own eyes. We arrived town Monday , April 21st, Easter .

Hotel is over 200 years old, still very solid, high ceiling, nice wood, carved Jesus on it, very religious area, walked on street in day time, it is so quiet, no body, I felt so wired and even a little scared. Downtown , no one, on daytime, Monday. Not even music, neither bird noise, really Jesus cris, never ever see a town like this, feel like a nuclear leak or something, everyone running away with no time take anything,

Building style is so unique, heavy roof, 6-7 ton of stone was used as roof. Image how solid this house beam is . Big piece of wood cross over the surface of the house. Wood in different colour . Very Obvious, but all same parents, neatly and tidy . Striking . all made of stone, nice style , meticulous . I felt the strict and seriousness from the building .  Most road is in stone , feel the heavy history in here.

Saw so many castles , like in Disney world, Walter Disney must saw all these castles  and love them also.  Field grand is bark brown , yellow flower cover the field with free grass they grow for caw, very nice photos .

Next days we drove to Some area in west coastal village. Carantec is home town of Pierre yve. We booked 2 nights there.

22nd, meeting with supplier, lunch with Estal at Roseff, new sales girl for us . Afternoon, kept visiting another one. All the places are about 20-30 min, drive, very similar, all have nice stone house and same church. Night, arrived Carantec,

Only 1800 residence in this village, retirement place, rich, cam smell old money. Big beach , many million dollar home around . Castle style home, all stone, road inside village is so small, barely fits one small car, I will definitely ruin my car if I were driving, hotel is ocean front, we got best suit with a balcony facing ocean, very nice view,  we all tired, finally can rest, even no obvious jet leg.
Supper in Pierre step father place, 1.2 million euro mansion with ocean view , huge, nice style, Stone home . Very beautiful . Ate deer fillet for supper. So full. Finish at 1:00. Back to hotel found out all door locked, wake up lady, find the code to come in, but later found out iced is right printed in the key.

23rd, meeting started at 11:00, went to Pierre aunts company , found a best partner to work of course, visited intermarch seafood distribution Center for 5000 supermarket, huge, very impressive. Rain today, do not feel good, our body was stuffed with too much food, really start to pain. No breakfast and lunch made us so  bad mood. We decided to have Royal lobster for supper. Michelin 2 star Restrauant located inside our hotel , the best Restrauant in this area , it was full ! Chef from Michelin 2 star made a special meal base on our requirement, really feel special .  Of course bill is special too, over 1000 euro for 5 . Just one Maine course .  We chat and talk till 1:00am again .

24th, went on road, we leave Carantec to Nantes , fly to London . Today is sunny, blue sky, Carantec is so beautiful , there is also a market today . We visited it, almost every town people are here but I am the only none local. An old guy yield : birth control , many times after he seeing me,

Market here is big and nice, so many food. Smell fantastic . Can not help to buy the meat and sausage to eat. Them sat next to church for the tea, enjoy sun, anywhere I go, sun made big difference . Sun makes me so happy. Like a bird, no sun, I will be so easy to upset.

Drive 3 hours arrived Nantes , return the retail car, took easy jet to London . 3 hours fly, arrived late afternoon. I never like Heathrow airport , always a mess. This time is the same . Waited at immigration for 1 hr, custom office busy to chat and doing slowly, line is so long and no one care, they put a special zone in middle to HELD problem people . Very races. I do not like the people waste time of the others. I knew I will have issue with them, my turn, is a fat trouble officer.  She has tone's of question about me and retain me at the special zone . I got out later.  Hotel is ok . We interview alex at 8:00pm,  a guy willing too be late ago save money for interview. Anyway , we decided to go together visit plant tomorrow .

Friday , 25th, Wake up 5:30 am, went to see fish market, then, took train to am seafood , plant is so far, 3 hrs by train.  Train ticket is so expensive, really do not know how London resident make it. One way ticket over 200 pound, average income here is only 2000-3000 pound per year, government let some big company monopoly the train price. No one can afford to take train to work .
London was rain and cold.  Appointment is at 1:00pm, no lunch till 3:00, I starts to upset : business killed my health .
Back to London, we are so tired, he went to sleep right away   No supper. I ordered kid menu for room service. A rough day .

Saturday, I found a ticket can go back Halifax early,  maybe it is because I really do not like London, I suggested to leave one day early . George's choose an very nice restaurant close to hotel -- oyster bar, we ate so full . First good meal in 3 days. Left london to New York . Connection flight is Sunday 1:00pm, we are very happy we can come back early .

Sunday, 27th, arrived airport 10:00am for noon flight , found out flight cancelled. Ridicules united air told us it is weather and UA is the only airline cancel the flight, we spent about $900. Each, to buy ticket fly back to Halifax via Toronto . Arrive at middle night still . Better than stay in New York, I want to be back home, had a nice trip. Finally arrived home at April 27th, middle night 12:30am.m

15th , Tuesday ,  go with guy to reef, massage 11:00,  3:00pm leave island to airport . Arrived 7:pm.  

Since 21st to today, I spent so long to search the notes, finally, I realized it does not belongs to me any more, have to go back into those 3 days and rewrite again, I accepted, in case I found again, I will compare the 2 feeling, see how much I remain, all the notes wrote in these day, are my true feeling by the moment, they are beautiful and real. Hopefully I will find them one day . 

To rewrite I did a lots of preparation to put myself back into the Tahaa feeling, it is not easy. Even I am relaxing, I can not do it, I have to be empty mind, zen and peace, like doing yoga , have to be empty to be table to balance .

April 13th, we wake up and decided to go diving , this island is called coral island, when we went to path , had to walk on coral , walked all the way to end of the island, find the reef, aside reed edges, there is a small steps build for snorkelling . Low tide, water very shallow, too my surprise, the sea world in the shallow water is very busy among the splendid coral . Abounded fish swimming around , all colourful, 2 people is taking photo underwater, they hold food, thousands of fish come, just doing snorkelling , I saw as much as diving, 

All island is surrounded by reef, in between reef and island is lagoon, outside if reed if thousand meter deep ocean, wave come in, hit reef brought lots of food for fish . Local people just come, fish and make living with it . 

This part of lagoon is very shallow, just about 1 or two foot deep. we have to find path to swimming, otherwise, coral will cut our skin.  Came out from the water, he ordered me a big cup of juice, all fruit here are sweet. Like local people . 

We get a canon , canon back to our bungalow from water, went through ocean, land our dock .  Change cloth, canon back for lunch. Chef put seafood on top of colourful pearl oyster shell, delicious , relais chateau is a famous restaurant chain, we have a Michelin 2 star restrauant  in resort , but need official cloth and shoes to go in, we do not have shoes, there is no store on the resort. But all other restaurant has nice food . Afternoon , massage, spa located at a corner of island ,facing a small lake, a hot top outside of spa , under a shade,  they put vanilla on George's and another oil on me for sun burn. Next day, my sun burn improved a lot right away. 2 hour massage, very relaxing .  

14th, Monday, suppose we need to check out today be back to Tahiti, meet Roberta wang , but really we enjoy here so much , I want to delay again , manage to change everything, air tickets, hotel . Finally, we can stay till 15th ! 

We wake up early, took 8:30 boat to Tahaa island see the pearl farm, George's is wondering is the farm can do giant clam farm rise, driver around for long time, we lost , island only has one road, to lost is very shame , can not let people know . Good thing is island people does not care appointment time , easy going, no stress. The lady told us no of course, she and her kids can made good living with pearl, they do not want anything more, we can not blame her, as living in iSland, simple is life, simple is happy, really, no one wants to work more, but due to the world economic crisis, 400 pearl farm closed, can not sell. They blame this to Robert wang . She said someone else will want to farm something different . Then, we went to see vanilla mansion, island has world best vanilla , 7 years world champion here, vanilla follower has dual-sex, when you maid them Manually, you get vanilla. Plus the nice location in this heaven , anything will have the best quality.  

Island is so small, the lady rent us the car knows we want seafood, this time when we rent again, she sent us a driver who is doing island seafood farm project. He wanted to do something with is badly . We met for lunch . Georges 18 years island living life really works here, he is like a fish in pound , has his way out in anything , we did background check on is guy already, he is not reliable . But, he introduce a girl to us, university graduate , live in island , maybe work for our project , 

Back to hotel , I wanted to snorkelling again. He suggested for a walk to other side of island, it is very rare that he wants to walk, I wanted to find out more about coral island . We went to reef of course , reef is huge, shallow , one feet deep max, all coral , little fish everywhere , colourful , sea urchin , sea cucumber , sea weed, white line far is the edge where wave meet reef, it likes a magnet to suck to to go there, I walked on this million years formed original land , felt the human history and earth history. It is absolutely luxury it be able to stand in this rich old piece of land on earth. Wave close to me, it is powerful , when wave comes  , my body shakes back and force,  I am having fun with all these fish and coral. Original has power . Simple means abundant of live . I am so happy,ready to dance in ocean, my mind is so Empty, just peace and happiness, times goes by without notice, sunset starts, cloud becomes pink, red, light blues sky, million years reef. Sun set on the reef, first time in my life , it is so romantic , so power, sunlight and the whole picture went straightly into my soul. Full in it with joy , peace and appreciation . 

Walk on coral paths back to water bungalow , a big full moon on the sky, so bright , accompany the sunset pink blue colour, make out walking so romantic . Feels like paradise do like sad ness, give us moon right away before sun goes . A big, bright full moon . We can take picture under the moon . 

We felt into love, deeply . Share the most beautiful moment in the earth will crates love, paradise love . I do not know why this island did not called the most romantic island on earth, it is . More romantic than Hawaii .  I always want to leave after I stay in a place for a couple of days, this is the only place I want to keep on delay, domes not how much it costs me . It all worth . Paradise is a place you happy daily , not the commercial , not the fancy world , it is the origin nature , rich soil to produce fruit, beautiful ocean with tones of colour, lots of fish in coral  to attract you to discover . The surprise comes from nature, not commercial . 

After nice supper, we went back to home, nice day is not end yet, there is eclipse tonight. Feb. 14th is the valentine, for us, April 15th, today is valentine , 

Coral island is owned by this private resort , every guess has own deck above water . Lying down on the chair , surrounded by beautiful deep blue colour ocean , silver moon light spray shin light on the surface , quiet , few boat floated on ocean , lights on,  Tahaa island at other side of lagoon is dark, very dim light , soft wind blow like lover's touch . We chat random subject and look at the moon, moon changed shape, full moon to half moon , to quarter, then, a slim curve left, starts are extra lay bright by then , milk galaxy high way  is so clear. Very close to me, everything confirmed I am in heaven, we are a member of appraise . Moving stars fly through the sky now and then, fast, just a flash , but, I can clearly see it, light a match brighten a fire in my heart, excited . Happy . Galaxy high way is so busy, million of starts, some far, some close, like eyes , winkle . I felt I am flying , swimming , with the star, I am one of them . Again , no words can describe the feeling , we just enjoy it, in two hours time moon back to original round shape slowly, brightness comes back, ocean surface is silver blue, I suddenly realized how pearl here comes with so many colour, under eclipse moon, what colour will pearl be ? One day , when I move to here , I will find the pearl and call her eclipse . 

We open the glass window under foot, let fish swimming when we sleep, let ocean wave sound accompany us , let wind touch our body, we slept under the nature, in a private resort, what a heaven .

April 16th, still in heaven , we went with waiter to reef catch fish, he brought gargle , lemon and tools : a cup and some knife . His cloth is very nature : bare up body , bottom wrapped by a piece of cloth . Bare feet . We went to reef, today still, blue sky, not a cloud . Little wind .  We talked on reef, he took out giant clam with a school driver, easy and fast, I tried meat, like geoduck , believe there will be a market for this , we keep on walking , George's went to edge closely and found a burgle ! Like 2-3kg, very heavy , I put it under my feet so no need to hold it, a wave come , big one, over my feet and burgle is gone ! I liked every where, over 10 min, oh, my god. It just sat at oringal spot, flip over the shell. So I can not tell . The shell colour is the same as rest reef,  just at the moment I found my burgle, the waiter found another one ! Georges just wanted to eat one, leave other one alone, so we release one . One one believe we can just catch burgle on the ocean. In fact, there is a lot on this island to get . But they all over 15 to 20 years old. It is better to keep the on the reef.  Burgle only eat sea weed, inner side of shell is so shinning, like pearl , meat is very clean also. It is a combine of yellow conch and white conch . Taste so good! 

What else can happen on the island, beside the color ,ocean , reef, eclipse, fish, we have the whole world.  This is what paradise is , one beauty after the other, quietly sit there, give you surprise and happiness when time comes, I lived in heaven. 

11:00 is another massage . My sun burn is cure after this, no more pain, I can wear cloth normal now and time back to real world. 

3:00pm, our boat brought us to airport, an hour boat ride, we left the paradise . Back to Tahiti .

2014 April trip 17th to 21st from Tahiti to Paris, longest travel ever

2014 world trip from 17th to 22nd: longest travel 44 hours 

Now is 21st, I felt so bad As my notes are gone, can not find it, hopefully can get it later when Internet comes, now a day, internet disturbed life a lot, it confused me and I am hateful now for lost all my beautiful notes, real prey got I can have them back . 
I was busy and so determined for making album in past 2 days. Spent over 10 hours on photos, may be paradise only want me to record one way, I can not wait to see labrum when I am back to Halifax . 

I can only started from the day we left island . 17th, we packed luggage , left into hotel, took our rental car for a drive to other side of Tahiti . Tahiti looks like a fish, intercontinental is at fish mouth, we were told a beautiful quiet beach restaurant at fish tail, 1 hour drive, nothing can stop me to go to beach. Even all my skin under the sun burn , beach restaurant is nice. Sit along the beach, fish is right under the seats, I feed the fish with bread , so many fish come, first small one, the big one, then the eel and crab. There are so many burgle shell , owner use the burgle nail to make table sign ! He cook the burgle and throw shell back to water. We went to the beach right next to restaurant , I walked on reef again, here is very unique, has 2 layers of reef, 2 lagoon, both reef has an opening to ocean, boat can come in as 40 meter deep water, French navy boat came in from here years ago. Two reef like 2 lace around , beautiful ,water is clear of course, I walked carefully with my shoes and alone the path. Found a big 7 finger shell . Very happy . 
on the way back to Tahiti , got phone call from supplier to join supper.  George's was planned to go lesson to Polynesia music, but the supplier 's girl friend requested to switch place, we did go to eat Vietnamese . From their words, I realized we got famous already I'm the island as we visited 2 big family there. 

Night flight at 12:00 , 5 hours flight to Auckland, but it is 19th 8:00am. We lost one day.  I am glad it is business class so we can sleep a little. Full of beautiful , unforgettable memory, we left, happy, not sad, as we know we can be aback soon. 


Arrived Auckland , it one day later on time zone, 19th. Lots of Chinese . All the sign here has 2 language : English and Chinese. We stayed at airport hotel, got a little rest . Total transit time is 7 hours to next flight. 

This is the longest flight in our life : 
Tahiti 6 hours to Auckland , 7 hours transit, 
Auckland to Singapore , 11 hours flight . 5 hours transit at Singapore, 
Singapore to paris : 15 hours flight .
44 hours total to destination --heaven is not an easy spot to be . But it is so worth it, I will be back any time. 

Auckland to Singapore is sin air, Boeing 777, first class is a big sofa bed . We are the only 2 at cabin,so we have seats 1st roll, bed 2nd roll . Seats as wide as love seats, bed is real bed with form , like a mattress, we are next to each other . Can touch George's with my hand. TV is a real TV , like 40 inch, big . Feels very comfortable . 

We spent 10,000 per person for the tickets, I felt worth it already , but next flight with air bus 380. 

Auckland wool is the most well know . We can not miss this chance, spent over $1000 to purchased wool coat, it was so warm .make from possum tail and wool and silk , so warm that I sweat when I move a little . With 10 degree, only one coat is enough . 

Stayed in lounge all the time , they have bed, shower.  Food, everything, retreat to go to hotel at Auckland . Should remember Singapore air service is the best . Flight delay for 1 hour, switched to another aircraft , still a 380,can not wait to see what first class cabin is . 

It is even bigger than Boeing 777. 2 layers, business class is upstairs which is same as 777. First class is very luxury , only 5 passenger, we got couple suits . There is table, TV, storage . Couple suits means our bed can combined into a queen size. We sleep together ! Have a 3000 meter love experience! It really happened, we just push button " no disturb" ! 

We got our first experience , this one was on George's bucket list ! 

I truly felt into sleep, bed is very comfortable , pillow and comforter all nest quality. I slept like baby, weak up 8 hours later . My time change is done on air . No more jet leg in paris . Full of energy when landed, have to say money well spent. Worth it . Without these, my 44 hours travel never work . 

Arrived paris on 20th  , body still tired, we moved very slow,  booked a boutique hotel 600 years old at area 1. Right close to nord dame  and louvre , walk to there only 900meter. Area called St. Michelle. Lots of university there. Many restaurant . Next time, I will always book hotel in these area. Very continent location for tourists. Metro is right next to this hotel . Arrived Paris 8:00 am. Stayed inside hotel without doing anything till noon ,just rest. Noon, went to walk around in paris . After so many years travel, forts time, have 1 day free in paris . Can not remember how many times in paris . Never can tour around . 
It is 12 degree, sun came out,  new possum coat is soft , like heated blanket on me. It is so smooth, I kept on touch him . 

Paris , one interest thing is doing nothing , just sit to watch tourist, number one tourist place in the world, 60 million population in France, 25 million tourist every year. 12 million of the. Are Chinese . We did see Chinese every where .

This weekend is Easter, from Friday to Monday 21st is long weekend, paris is empty . Most resident went out somewhere . Only tourist on the street . 

Felt into sleep in the afternoon, got nice rest for 5 hours, went up to have supper . So ,any nice restaurant here, George's wanted to go to " pigs feet " place , most famous roasted pig place . However service is very bad, many empty table, but a big line up.  Waiter does not care at all .  We changed to a nice seafood one next door. 

Night walk on paris street,next to nord dame and louvre , feels great, he tried to bring to a jazz place, but in stand, we choose an ice cream place , sat and watch nord dame right in front of us , quiet , romantic night, we felt so in love . This is paris power . Lovers kiss each other, most couple hand to hand . Youth sing. Good smell of food , music around . Impressive old building , historical stores flow in mind . How can you do not feel in love here .  Forest time feel the true romance root in paris . Walked back to hotel ,made French love . One of the best for long time .  We true realized we are meant to be together for rest of our life . One carry on to travel around world in 1 month made us so close . 

21st, we took train to see his mum. Can hear from phone that she is so excited . Only 2 hours by TGV .

After I follow George's, my life changed. Now, after cancer , George's is even running fast in his life, he does thing different with normal people.  His idea and work style changed, latterly he decided to do business to the max. Enjoy his business idea. This is the first priority over all,

We decided to go to china , then, vacation , I really wanted to Island. He choose French peninsula island . Which is really far , middle of Indian Ocean .  Pierre yve's mum visited Halifax and George's spoke with her and decided to visit crab fisherman in paris,  then, our trip became a 30 days world trip,  on top of this, travel with one suitcase .

Lunch with Michaels who is an ass, speak things made no sense, eyes on me made me uncomfortable . Food was ok, but shit Restrauant , Taipei is hot, good for us, but when we left from Taipei to shanghai , business class is so cold, end up, Georges caught cold --he slept for 2 hours flight,

I meet liu bin at airport , nice he always pick me up.  I arrived Monday night, Saturday left Halifax. Only one sleeping in aircraft for 6 hrs, felt tired, went to sleep right away, till next day 5:00am.

Tuesday, started to arrange all the flight , finally,did a economic way to Tokyo with less spending, if I buy tickets even economic class cause $700. On way, one person, but it causes me few hours to do my Aeroplan arrangement, I got business class finally . So

Jin tai ' swords really touch me , the trust is there and respect is there . Love to see the strong relationship between customer and us, make me feels so strong .

Thursday morning, took train to Hong Kong, will have lunch with Kenneth and supper with Joe, another nice day .    

Hong Kong is nice, we stayed at Marco Polo , already a 5 star, but, no room till 2:00pm, he updated into penthouse so we can move in. It is really worth it. Room is huge, bath room fantastic, the view of this hotel is the best, from yuan sha Zhui to overview the Hong Kong island. Sad thing is I am too busy to have a chance take a picture of it, but, I took the post card, I will be back with Seasy to enjoy everything again.
We met Kenneth, he prepared food , we are with his friend together . food is very scaring , I mean the food we ate are scaring, ate from 1:00 to 2:30, then go to supper 5:30 to eat again with home fine joe .  I are to sweat and ready to barf out next day in the morning . Ate at inter continental . Had a chance to see 15min. Genesis recorded light show of HK island .
Next day, April 4th, Friday, have to go to Shenzhen, fly to shanghai, the. Shanghai fly to Gmpio airport at Seoul .
April 4th, taxi brought us to SHENZHEN airport. Airport is very beautiful, I have to record the shape in my yearly book . All white steel frame, shape like a Gita. Glass mixed with steel structure .  This is the most beautiful airport I ever seen .
Arrived shanghai PuDong at 3:00pm, went to spring of Paris, ate shit " 老妈米线”，went back to airport and found out all business class had food , of course, shanghai is much warmer, true spring, some blue sky, very nice . 3 hours went very fast, we took flight to GMP airport, I stared to realize, we have to take business class to travel, no way, we can travel without it, he felt too tired and I was very concerned every time to see his dark black eyes. He can sleep on business class even for 1-2 hours fly, took a nice nap before landing is the key for our travel .
9:00pm, arrived GMP airport, close to downtown Seoul, I enjoy it , as check in time is shorter, no need to be in airport 2 hours early . Visited a plant at airport. Almost bankrupt, hotel is called 4.5 star, but bed is double size, shit room. After hearing the story of bad business's competition of Jk seafood. Then see the fake 4.5 star hotel, I dislike Korean more . Korean style never change, same as Vietnamese , very bad business mentality , I am very happy Seasy did not come with Ting Ting , they will be eat alive here .
Saturday , 5th, fly to Tokyo Henda airport, close to downtown also, now is cherry blossom period, Tokyo is very pretty . We see this airport  build in middle of ocean , Japanese create henada  airport in middle of the ocean ! Smart Japanese . They do every thing .

Cherry blossom is reaching the end , but still very pretty, cherry blossom only last one week , extremely impressive, flower has all different colour, most a light pink, Tokyo has a lots of trees aside the road. Garden and trees and building are well organized, there even some cherry tree on top of building , flower along the streets inside garden, whole city dips into the flower ocean , streets are super clean.  Can not see much falling flowers , rain a little daily in the early morning, air extremely fresh , I felt so relax in this type of Tokyo . Harmony everywhere . No wonder Japanese can live for long life .

 This time, stay at Weston hotel Tokyo, best hotel ever in my experiences , better than Waldorf astria , better than "the plaza" at 5th avenue,

hotel is in such a detail that everything feels perfect, there is a make up table in room for female, never see anywhere else, with 3 sides mirror , light and electric plug, very practical, I can sit and enjoy my prettiness , no need to fight for toilet anymore,
Beside marble everywhere in bathroom , Heated toilet cover with wash system, make me want to do job on toilet, best comfortable chair in the whole suit . There is a nice black box at toilet counter with hair elastic , q tip etc, q too has 3 ring on the cotton tip, very tight tip and smaller than regular , easy to use to remove make up . Black colour cotton, not white, very unique .
We had lunch with true world , went to sauna in hotel, sauna is fantastic, Japanese women are naked, they do not mind to show body to each other, shampoo , body wash , everything smells so good, I added conditioner to my hair before sauna , after steam, hair feels so smooth even for 2nd day , love the smell inside sauna also.
Rest a little, good time always goes so fast, our time comes to meet kaori, new Otani hotel is huge, thence centre garden is beautiful , local people and tourist are all there to see the the garden : a topical Japanese style garden --cherry trees, red bridge , pond, water fall. Many other flowers, walk in the middle feel in paradise .  A little hill inside the garden is our Restrauant , top teppannyaki sea food place, $500 pp . Nice food, nice moment, bit sad story, koari's cancer transferred , no more operation can be done, she did chimo , situation keeps on getting worse, at the end of the meal, Umeda San told me her life may end this year. I do not know what to think, life is so weak on some people, so precious . Anyone still alive needs to enjoy themselves better , "normal life " is a wrong concept. Life does have value, highest value than anything, only way to live is to enjoy it . Make best of it every day. This experience does help me to understand George's much better . Same for my own life, at this stage, many things is no longer important , I do not feel need for this. My shopping desire is lower, tourist desire is less, no need a lot of jewellery . Extra time show up for quality life . Like JT owner said, to eat is the relaxing time of life.

April 6th, we fly back to shanghai, Flight from NRT to shanghai has to stop at Fukuoka, transit for 2 hours, we use this time to book hotel at Tahiti , this is once in life time travel, I know the chance to go back is very limited . Georges explore the island during 2 hours , I got more and more excited . there is a heart island, only can fly to there, lovers go to leave heart there. We will go. Ha, too much to look forward in the island .

I did some shopping in shanghai , spent time with liu qiang , very nice and peaceful . I only got to spend few hours a year with him . George's made a grey colour coat, I made a red one, liu qiang made a suit, nice time spent , to my surprise, I indeed did not have strong desire to shop. Got to do this with Seasy together , missing shopping buddy .

April 7th, fly from shanghai to Auckland , New Zealand . Same day to Tahiti . On our way to heaven , I slept right away on the air, really do not know how these economic seats people made it through, I felt sore everywhere when I am up. Headache also.
Can not wait to see Auckland and Tahiti.

April 8th, 5am , arrived Auckland, much small city than I thought, quiet, no crime, clean, whole country only 4.5million, lots of Chinese, 4-5 china town, over 300,000 Chinese, Asian supermarket everywhere, driver call Chinese rich people, as they are the one rise house price, average income is low 2000-2500 per month, but a 3 bedroom home costs half million. A 3 bedroom apartment costs 300,000. There is not much expensive life here for sure . Income is limited . Went to downtown , he booked a hotel, we got to clean up and rest, I felt into sleep . Went out a little had lunch. Heading to airport . 8 hours connection past so fast, we are lucky, business upgrade did not costs a lots of money . We sat on business class again. 5 hours flight, plus another hour difference . Worth it for $1200 . Hopefully we can do the same when we back .
After boarding, I am so excited, my heart explore, felt better than honey moon, Georges idea is so excited all the time, he is giving me an excited life that no any one can . I really hope he will take care of himself and live forever. I feel so happy on the trip, love and happiness overflow.

April 7th, arrived Tahiti , time goes backward 1 day here in the island, we gain 1 day back . Arrived at night , 10:00 pm, went straight to hotel --intercontinental . 5 star hotel . Different style , warm weather set up, balcony has ocean view, $370/night, I have to start to count money as I realized this is the most expensive island in the world. More expensive than japan . We slept till 12;00 noon, a 12 hours sleep. Here has 4 hours difference with shanghai , and 7 hours before Halifax . Out jet leg shows in different way, I do not know time, day, just be happy,
April 8th again , went to see the freight forwarder. Got his energy supply from street, visited pearl museum and bought pearl here ， not my style at all, George's chooses a shining, all colourful, shape different necklace , 103 pearl, very long. Can go around my neck 3 times, USD 4700. We lucky that we brought more cash. We started day with lunch, afternoon goes very fast , went to ocean a little, water is so clear and warm , lots of rock, limited sand , but, clear and beauty made me forgot about rest, lying on ocean surface , the man I love pull me slowly around, I tell him how much I love him . Quiet over water house around me , sun set right from mountain , a cloud on top of mountain forever , never leave, I just wants to freeze the moment, forever , In my mind, my heart, George's arranged a massage, best one , very nice . Us, 2 oily  body , relaxed. Finally . Georges spoke with taxi driver to introduce us a local supper place, this is the place I finally saw the best mix of French and Chinese, French and Chinese food all line up together, after Chinese dinner, we order crepe for desert . Mixed race people everywhere, they are pretty, everyone has thick, beautiful hair, just quite a few of them are very big size, but, all kids are so beautiful , cute like doll .
The most richest man here is a Chinese, Robert wan, his pearl farm brought him 1st bucket money, then, he owns Carrefour , biggest supermarket to support island people grocery , some Chinese on the island, all business. Taxi driver has limited English words.
" Japanese?" He asked me
" Chinese "
" business " he said , that is what Chinese means for him, very interesting,
I have an idea to meet Robert, we went to another supermarket , found out the fish tank from SW Wong in New York, and the owner of course is a Chinese, Louise Wong . I am surprised again and proud at same time, Chinese really in everywhere and made success business with any race they live with . I am proud that I am one of them. One day, when I am not busy, I want to bring this journal , shot a YouTube series of " Chinese overseas" , I want to shot all successful story of Chinese, let people known them . Know the power behind, make them connect to each other .
I am now getting excited with this idea, one day I will do it. Travel the world again, with my daughter . I will talk to her see when to start and how to start.
We both high in the night, few zip sent us to paradises , I even stopped our sex to get a zip, them go again, best love we made for long time, we both so excited and forgot everything . This life is better than honey moon .

Next day , April 9th, we decided to leave Tahiti to an island called tahaa, Georges wanted to go, we booked hotel at last minutes, the island is hidden secret spot, we fly 1 hour from Tahiti , wait 1 hour for boat to pick up, 45 min. Boat ride. I am sitting here under sunset, wait for the boat. Boat arrived with a sunny boat boy, all his family works inside hotel. He told me when I wake up tomorrow, I will see only paradise,  overwater suit is a big surprise, 48 of them , build above water, roof made of grass . Room is a shape of boat in remember of the first native that landed here. At foot of bed, we can open a "window" to see the fish in ocean, we sleep with fish and wind on top of ocean , we have our own deck and own stairs to go inside ocean . All overwater house sit on top of sand, this is a virgin island with huge lagoon , white fine sans in between islands, clear Colour, we can see bottom, fish and crab swimming.  I have a hard time to believe this nature ocean has so many types of colour, and clear colour .

Times goes extremely fast in this island, April 10th, first day we wake up on paradise, he wake up at 7:00, even sun is up, bright in room, I still managed to hold him to sleep again till 11:00, wake up , right away we went to ocean , fine sand, no rock, fish swimming , warm , wave today,wind all day alone,  but no rain, clean lady said otherwise big rain, we lucky, got naked go in and out from our deck to ocean, happy , forgot everything, no phone , no internet, empty mind, any moment , I opened eyes, saw a beautiful picture, all nice views around, I wish I have a nice camera, back to take all photo. Next time, come with Seasy. This is what I will do with her, take a lots of photons . We got high, make love, eat nice food, be happy, really, best vacation ever, forgot everything .

March 6th, we flew to Ottawa then, New York , stayed in 4 star hotel Sheraton at canal street, very close to Chinatown . This is the first trip I got time to understand Chinatown, now I know this place inside out .
Thursday we explore china town , found nice place to eat. Friday , 7th, I got appointment with doctor at mount Sanil hospital. Doctor proceed an electric telescope check up for me, I am very surprise to of know what canard what to do on me is called " old school " , I do not have to be put sleep , here what US has is a tiny tube, like fish line, went in easily, I can saw from screen next to me . Then, another even smaller one went to kidney , whole procedure last for less than 30min. Fast and painless, the anti biotic shot is the most painful thing of all.
Doctor said I am perfect fine and can go shopping !

It is so nice to know I am all good again, can not wait , I am back to the shopping pleasure . Rest of the time past so fast and easy, I can not even remember what I did. Friday night, found a nice Restrauant called "joes shanghai " , very busy. Very nice food .

Saturday , went on NY one day tour, price tagged at $10.00. But end up. I paid $500 for 3 . Smart Chinese way of sales, next time, have to ask full package before step in.
Tour was not bad, a smAll van with about 12 people , started with 911, library status, Wall Street , empire building , time square . I wearing my boots, got pain on foot,  weather was. Very nice, 15 degrees sunny we are very happy to tour under this weather, again. New York gave me nice weather , this is may be 20th time I came to NY, all good weather,

Sunday, rest at hotel, deal with business in the morning. I used up all my cash. Tied 5 bank last night , can not get money out. Went to 3 bank again . TD has  dry bad attitude and citi bank has nicest service . Finally got money out for Monday trip payment .  I waited till last minutes to book Monday Washington trip, end up,  no seats on line, I was lucky that one tour company still has seats. But, everything in chia town is cash, I was so stupid that did not bring enough . Anyway, rush To tourist agent with cash I got,  are aged trip. 3 people, one hotel room, only $50 per person , on bus, paid another $50 pp for tickets, meal.
Afternoon, went with mum to soho .
 Sunday night, my high school classmate GAO Jin showed up in my hotel, we did not see each other for 28years. Man, it is scary to know I am that old . She has 2 kids and a nice job. Worked in medicine company , in charge of IT, her hub is doing same job. Both paid over 100K, with stock from the company,  very nice life .  They moved to Singapore on 1991, few years later came to NY, bought house at New Jersey . A sAmple of American dream . Not sure who's life is better, I am more successful on Career. She is better in family life I guess. But still my life is not that bad . More excited and colourful than most people.

Monday morning , went on bus tour . Left at 8:00, went to Phili to see the bell , then , went to Baltimore to see ford, understood where US flag come from , afternoon arrived Washington , took cruise tour, memorial park,  walked with parents to see George Washington hall . I am not good at remember names, still no idea what I was visited,

What I like is Philli's nice stone small streets quiet. Not a lot of people. Washington has huge park and lake at Center, this 200 years old city was designed by French who copied paris , lake in Center surrounded by cherry blossom. Another 2 weeks, cherry blossom will starts, it must be very pretty.  In cruise tour. Like the tour in Sain river of paris, we saw A lots of famous place that I saw only in movie .

Feel the oldness of parents, I keep on remind myself this is one of the very last tour I can do in my life with them,  maybe it is the very last, mum is getting the cataract and hearing aid, dad keeps pee every 10min. They are definitely reaching the end of their life,

Monday night, hotel room sold out.  We have only one room. Shared with parents. Really hard for me , dad offered to sleep on floor,  I took he offer.  But saw him sleep in the bus next day , felt guilty .

Tuesday. Got wake up at 7:00 am, bus left to White House .
Trip today is kind of disappointed, first went to Guo hui San where all the VIP meet to make rules , pretty nice building.  Like Center church in paris .  We can. to go in, took picture from far.  I wS thinking at least we go inside White House, but, after we arrived, all we got is to see the White House from far, not even at front door,  guilder said all tourist only allow to see from back door. Man , my last trip saw better, we are not allow to tour around on our own either . Again, few picture shot, done .
Went to Aerospace Center after, do not even know the name .  Pretty interesting to see the stone from moon .
The , we were brought to a buffet place again for lunch, quite expensive . Afterwards   Back to New York .

11th night, Changed hotel to middle town, choose one very close to pen station, Madison square , affinia hotel , next door to Koran town also, very cool location, can work to anywhere. Biggest Macy is there also, 5 min. Working . We went out in the night, eat nice Korean food , then walk to time square to see true night feeling of time a Square. Spent 2 hours at time square, all the lights and noise, believe, my parents have deep memory now . End up we walked too long, took taxi back to hotel , cheaper than metro as it is so close.

Wednesday , March 12th, made a shopping plan today , wake up , ate breakfast at "paris baguette " for breakfast , loved it and it is just located at Ktown which is 5 min from hotel.  Went to sake on 5th, Bloomingdale and realized I can not buy normal stuff like before I need certain level to please myself, was going to shop a lot at bloomingdale, but reach time to pick up dad from hotel ,  2:00 pm eat at Ktown again , last Korean food . Walk to biggest Macy's to finish the whole shopping day, Macy's is best favourite store now, compare to the other 2 higher end stores. This biggest Macy comes with much more items and better price, we went in at 2.00pm and finish at 7:00pm. Did not buy anything else but the item I wanted before, a nice red purchase from Laurent , and 2 nice dress which cashier gave me 20% off. It costs me a lot, but I enjoy it , if I had more energy, I could spend whole day here, next time, I will just come here to shop. Started to rain, I took a black taxi to new hotel .

jan. 2014 New York trip

2014 jan. 22. Montreal, New York trip.

Lots of things happen. Most important one is Ann Zhang, Seasy's friend, she hanged herself at home . I am deeply shocked , first kid I knew did this. She was a smart , sweet girl, a relatively close friend of Seasy , few month older . They dance together,  spent 6 hrs a week in past few month together. She is number one student at school, has pressure from school and felt lonely at home, parents separated for long time , mum is too busy to take care of her, she does not have enough love like normal family. She choses timed life . I am very surprise for this happen in Canada, kid felt pressure in china, fell freedom in Canada, I really think this is mentally sickness. Ever since this happen, I talked a lot with Seasy, she does not believe it is a suicide , she felt hurt in school and went for a run at point present park, I went to pick her up.   Kids now a days life are totally different with us . They have all kinds of internet access for information, there is less privacy, more pressure, too much information, they experience parents separation, early relationship, friend suicide, lots of confusion, I am concerned for what our kids will be, hopefully, I can provide a simple, happy environment for her and she will be just happy.

Most Business went very well, never be so good. Felt we hit the roof. There is no roof of business of course, CRA arrived, government tried hard to suspect every business owner cheats, they treat business owner like criminal and try hard to make us all bankrupt .

Pierre and us all went to Montreal to meet his step brother , George's and me arrived earlier to meet lawyer Andre , Andre is a decent guy, he got cancer also and recovered, he rent office 80 nights a year from Hilton hotel in Montreal, metro station is right under hotel, very peaceful and  harmony hotel, really like it.
We went to see Camille , Frederique , Lionel , met Patrick, Renaud. Montreal is very cold, but meet friends is fun. Nice food . Pure celebration mood for the business success . Really like hit jack pot at casino .

Camille arranged a party I her house to see little Sasha , she is so adorable, so pretty, Georges does not feel good, I went to Pierre and Renaud , Renaud wife is very young, pretty . Had a good time . Montreal is really cold, but people still live normal, they equip all kinds of gears to keep live not disturbed, like winter boots that against salt, winter cold that keep you 100% protected under -20 degree. Human is powerful in adapted weather.

George's is excited again, try to do a retail store in Montreal airport. I fully against . 26th we left Montreal to New York , 26th , arrived, hotel is very nice, double tree, close to 5th avenue, many nice Restrauant around , convince to stay. 27th, went to hospital 7:00 am for heart operation. I was told it takes 2-4 hours, he went in, first operation of the week, very nice well know surgeon , a strong man, our doctor said he is the best surgeon . He went in, I was not nervous , just long time waiting, free wireless, I can do anything . Time past 4 hours, I stated to concern a little. Time past noon , I went downstairs to eat lunch, rush up and found he came out from operation , like last time, pale face, the sign of life is very weak. I sit down quietly, look at the man I love, only want doctor to ensure me operation is success. Doctor did not see me and left . He started to vomit, but for 24hrs, he ate nothing, must be the reaction of medicine, do not know what piles he took this time, helpful his liver can take it,
His spine is gone, pancreas cancel, gold bladder stone, stomach had issue for 20 years or more, now is heart operation. Only liver and kidney are good . Hopefully nothing else wrong again .

Late afternoon , doctor came, he told me it is success operation , he burned 4 nervous at heart, one is behind right heart which took long time.  Doctor assure his heart will be good for another 5 to 10 years .  Tube was put in from his too legs top. 2 huge Bruce there and can not work, we were removed to a room with other 3 patients , only one male nurse.  Bad attitude , later, we chat and know he was a Butcher before nurse, butcher was his job for years. Really scarring . Room is too noise, no way I can sleep, I spoke with people in charge, eh transit us into a private room, give me a sofa so I can sleep for one night,

George's life is strong, next day, we got dismissed, took taxi to hotel and started to talk around a little eat meals normal and started regular life. 4 days staying at hotel ( right cross street from whadorf astria ) , I felt lucky I got a. Ice hotel that close to everything . 28th is Chinese New Year's Eve, parents are at home alone , Seasy has a show on 28th, I asked Seasy to bring them to see the show so they can spend time together, 29th, Seasy has show again, I sent parents to neither yang guan's house to party. Seasy went later at night after her show and stay till 1:00am.
Friday, 30th, I went to china town to celebrate Chinese New Year on my own. The happiness is a lot there, 4 Lion dance came from different direction streets that right cross the Center , beg money at every door, drum was out on the cart, big sound, most business owner decided to give red pocket and bring lion goes inside store so all customers inside can enjoy the atmosphia  , some owner did refuse,  lion player has a negotiator leads the group , talk to loaner first before lion arrived. First time I know lion dance is a business that can make profit .

I bought the paper firework.  Had fun on the street.  Later in the night, went back with George's, very surprise to see all streets are clean, everything is gone, can not feel a single holiday celebration . Amazing fast .

Saturday, we back to Halifax, he does not look the same as before, can see he is a patient , hard to climb stairs, easy to tire, sweat a lot on the night .

But Monday, we have no choice to sit in office to do CRA documents, straightly for 10 days after including weekend, we work 8-10 hrs a day to calculate all travel expense, office expense for 2 years. Huge amount of paper work that I did not do for 20 years .  My back is pain, his. Must be so pain. He took a lots of stress in these 10 days, killed his recovery period .

We all agreed to take nice break after we done the documents, last time I worked so hard on documents was 1991, my first job as secretary .

Feb. 20th , One thing maybe good from this is : he returned the house we bought together, 1.2 million, it is a very sunny house , but overall material is really not up to the standard of mine . I have an very hard time to live in . But he love the sun. I was so stressful as none of my family number  like it . I do not want to lower down my standard to adapt a life, I want to love the life I live in. He said he gave up the house for me.

I got sick. Since ski back on January , I kept on having blood in urine, a lot, fresh blood, last for 3 weeks , went to emergency, got kick out as doctor can not find anything, family doctor closed his clinic as he can not hire enough doctor. I finally find a new family doctor who believe what I have is kidney stone, did CT on February. 14th, followed with 2 ultrasonic , nothing is wrong. Ultrasonic found right kidney shape is not completely show . Specialist in Halifax said I need a telescope inside bladder . Then, tube extended to kidney to do a biopsy   And it will be a tube outside kidney to drain for 4 days, I freak out ,

We went to Olympic trail, black Diamond, then, she brought us to glacier at black comb . We all never be there. Today is windy and cold , a storm brought 15cm snow , On top of black comb, visibility is very low , wind is strong, after lift, we went to T bar  to reach glacier , it is so windy that George's got blow off the T bar , his kii slid down, I fall down also, can not keep the balance, we both sat inside snow, about 20-30cm deep, soft, clean snow, can not move.  Do not know what to do ,

George's and me went to harmony, then, symphony bowl , top of the whistler . Widely open, few rocks in between , barley see trees, just snow and skier . Most trial is blue, tones of freedom , you can use all your skills and go from green to black diamond .  I felt truce fly feeling , wind went through my ears, speed goes faster and faster, pass symphony , keeps on ski down hill , fly in between trees, feel like a superman acting in a fast forward movie , I definitely feel surpass myself, lots of great feeling : success , strong , skillful , I suddenly found another layer of sky, the one only skier can enjoy. Fells like inside a snow glass ball, few beautiful house at bottom of a mountain , top all covered by snow , you shake the ball snow flake fill all the space, beautiful like a fairy world, I am now lives inside the glass ball.

George's and me arrived on Sunday 23rd.  Even through travel is to fix a headache, I still happy we arrived Vancouver , went inside car at airport, sunny , blue sky, warm air on my face, happy again in one second .

Things happened is bad , Pablo steel money and took some customer.  We had chance to get over $300,000 for the company, now, almost no value . We lost face to all airline as he took the confidential contract gave to competitor . We Pissed off.

Fresh ocean breeze mixed with forest clean air, right away , we feels peace and relax. I felt sleepy during the walking on the trial . Lots of goose shit every where . original old forest. Huge trees, Can see mushroom here and there.

Before sunset , we found a tea house inside park , facing water, hide in forest , small, cloze  ， ordered a hot chocolate , sat beside fireplace , looking to the sunset on the ocean , sky mixed with ocean . Quiet , comfort , Peace, I will bring family back to here. Lights on from the brush around the tea house. Light on from the ships that parks in middle of ocean . I can stay and felt sleep here.

However, we made a nice plan for new year : I want to bring family to Las Vegas . Then, Vancouver , whistler . Georges will meet me on jan. 1st. To whistler.

oct. 2013, NY, Miami

Oct. New York Miami trip

New GM came at Oct.7th, I am busy to adapt his changes, then, need a break of course, bring Morgan from Europe office, and Pablo for Vancouver business, busy meeting Ll day alone . End of the month , we decided to escape for 1 weeks. 31st, Left to New York , stayed in Waldorf astria hotel at park avenue . Strange , after wealth increased , I get more real, do not care about the big name, care about real quality .  The service of this expensive hotel is not impressive as the building . Just look old , being charged expensive. Rest is so so. However, location is great.  We went to shop close by, all nice stores . He brought me a shoes, branded for Oscar stars - for banquet . Stylist and comfortable , "Angelina Jolie" worn it as well as many stars. Lovely .
Supper with aqua best Steven in china town , nice food , all kinds of seafood . Next day, went to visit his plant and meet NY freight forwarder air city.  All young people , less than 35. Good age to do business . We sealed a 500,000lb deal . Very happy . 2nd is a  Jewish holiday , Steven's place is in middle of Jew residence , stranger looking Jew everywhere . Big black fur hat. Long plait asides ears, a huge white poncho cover body . Everyone dress exactly the same . Jew does to touch power on weekend, can not switch on electricity , some weekend they have to sleep outside on balcony . Very special . Steven grown up with new, he said, be very careful with them. No heart at all.

1st night, Georges brought me to best Chinese Restrauant at park avenue "chang's" . We opened a most expensive champion : crystal  . Over $500 a bottle . To celebrate we achieved good profit in our business . same period of the year, we achieved highest profit . Food and sex after are both fantastic . Always got good memory in New York !  Love it , does not how many times come to here, Never enough

Nov.2nd, left New York to Miami beach, booked a hotel on line called "red" , it looks like a low end  hooker place . Dirty and not safe . Our feeling was bad and left next day to " fabeauloue" hotel . Later on, we found out "red" used our credit card to fraud and got caught by credit card company .

New hotel is really fabulous, huge hotel , 3 buildings with 18 pool and a beach. Connect with Miami convention Center . One side is tunnel where packed lots of Yacht , other side is Atlantic Ocean .
Very Busy party place, the last night before we left. A big Halloween paty hosted there, hundreds or thousand  people all dress up like Hal-con . Funny looking .

Hotel feels like all inclusive , tried to keep All guest inside. Lots of bar, Restrauant , beach service, gym , sauna ,,,,, has it all, everything is good but expensive, if you have a little money, then all you want is to spend inside hotel. We got room all in with $250 a night, but parking/internet /food and massage is over $500 a day. Sounds crazy. But hotel located at Miami beach , really have to drive for 20 to 30 min. To downtown where you can buy something. Hotel area has nothing but hotel. You can not even buy one bottle of water elsewhere. We took a walk in the night, after supper, alone sand beach , under moon light shower, with sea wave music , warm with breeze, hand to hand. Walk a square from ocean side to lake side where yacht parked. Very relaxing and lovely feeling ,but , did. To even see one store,

3rd, we found the biggest outlet and let us lost there for 1 day. Thousands of brand nAme stores, breath taking price, we bought a lot . First time shop with him like this in outlet. One whole day ! Life indeed changed. Got slowdown . Can do the thing we like now, cool .

Miami is so nice, sunny, beach everywhere , not busy , food , shopping , boating , we are talking to buy a house there and hire a maid to manage rent .

4th, met Christian , our cruise ship VIP. He will join Olympic marathon next year. Over 60 years old. Still full of life . We had a fantastic time together,

I tried massage in hotel, the whole spa  is really huge and well  set up , services and massage are both great,  Also did gym , gym facing ocean , I saw green grass, pool with people lying down under sun , Palm tree, beach, ocean wave, this view accompany me during the exercises , what can be better than this. Did not enjoy beach enough, already got to leave back to home .
