three optionsand i tought the best nearby place to go is Nan Ao IslandWe chatted with the facotory's boos and drank tea for a whilethen decided to go to Nan Ao IslandI was worried about my parents's overthinkingActually in my heart,i was hoping he could just return to ShenzhenLeaving him alone is not a friend's behaviorSo i called mom about i might stay over nightThat was really last minute decisionWe catched up with the last boatit was really close,only five minutes leftWhen we got on shore,there's a man saying HELLO to JimAnd we met him again on the next day,i will talk about that laterBecause it was the last boat,most mini buses were goneAnd we were told the public bus would not come even if the board was written"Last bus:7p.m."Maybe it is off season,so many things are out of rulesThere was a black taxi driver who kept selling to us40 yuan to hou zhai,250 yuan to Qing Ao BeachWe asked the policeman about the public bus and hotelsWe decided to go to hou zhai to find a hotel firstThe black taxi driver suggested we should go to Qing Ao for SunriseEven if we did not show any interestsIf there's only thing to do in Qing Aowhat is the point?That black taxi also said he could find us a nice hotel if we want2 rooms 350 RMBwe decided to have a look firstby the way,Jim was carrying one suitcase all the timeWhen we entered inside,Jim asked me why they had the room's key alreadyand asked the manager at front desk if we could trust these peopleHe told us this is a hotel apartment,they bought rooms upstairsbut those rooms dont belong to this hotel,and they dont provide internet and breakfastSo we chose to live in the hotel insteadand explain to the black taxi driver that we need internetOne Room is 260,So we have Two rooms for 520,50m²and the manager said he could change our room into ones with sea views
The hotel room is apparently bighowever,there are too many noiseswhich cause me sleeplessWhat made me uncomfortable is that i saw the price of another hotel customer's billIt showed one night for 180 RMBThe manager tried to explain to us and asked where we got that billWell,you wrote the password of WIFI on the back of billHis Explaination could not make any sensesLIARS
