china - hainan trip (day4)
day 4 was spent mostly travelling from city to the village that my grandfather and grandmother once lived...
we finally arrived at the village after hours of travelling! getting a feel of the place..with relatives doing some introduction
the backyard of the village.
the place for drying rice grain. timothy looks on quietly with awe
sisters! happy to begin a whole new experience!
we spotted a jackfruit!
the covered-up well that my mum,grandma,aunt and relative are surrounding
the place where firewoods are kept.
a clearer picture
hens running around..ahaha
THE FIRECRACKERS!!!
uncle jason is playing with the fire crackers! ((:
preparing to light off!
the aftermath!!!! isn't it a pretty sight!!!
why are the adults so happy??
my naked uncle.can't blame him, the weather is very warm!
this pretty baby is meiling..one and a half years old.that's her mum. she has beautfiful eyes that are really soulful!
that's her grandmother. see that all of us are going gaga over her? ((:
that was after witnessing the live killing of chickens! the chickens are meant for dinner. they're peeling off the feathers of the chicken!
after slaughtering the chicken, they soak it in boiling water to open the pores.it'll be easier for them to peel off the feathers then!
everyone's looking very fascinated...
well..i had to visit a local hospital on the very first day at the village for throat inflammation, along with my dajie and mei. I wouldn't even call it a hospital cause it's in shabbles, doctors dressed like ordinary folks and chickens running around in the yard. Medicine is cheap though, mine was only $3 plus and it lasted till the end of the trip.
