As usual, 亲爱的 flew into Xiamen to spend the week with me. We usually stay at the Sheraton Hotel. I think by now, the hotel staff would remember this Singapore man and his young chinese girlfriend.
The reason why we like the Sheraton is because the location is very convenient. At the side of the hotel, we can find many shops and restaurants. These shops are not expensive, and since 亲爱的 is a thrifty person, she likes to do her shopping there.
In fact she bought me a wallet for my belated birthday in one of the shops.
We like 火锅 very much, and there is a very good 火锅 restaurent, which uses beef bones to broil the soup.
亲爱的 and I love to eat street food. There is a barbeque stall which operates from evening till late, and is our favourite supper place. Although it doesn't look too hygenic, we didn't get any tummy ache after eating there.
亲爱的 went to the hair salon to have her hair dyed. While it cost less than in Beijing, she complaint that the colour is not nice.
At the opposite of Sheraton, there is a foot massage center. We have been there once. The service is quite good, and not expensive.
Since I need to work during the day, she have to keep herself occupied with the computer or the mobile phone.
Although I have been to Xiamen numerous times, this could be my last visit there. I have just done a 3rd interview with a company, and stand a good chance to join them. While this job is also a regional position, I may not be able to travel to China as frequent. I had discussed this with 亲爱的, and she said as long as we talk over the phone everyday, it is alright that we see each other less frequent. Well, I don't really know if this long distance relationship can continue to work after I change company. Only time will tell.
