No Electricity? NO MORE!

At first, the very first morning when we hop on to our bus, our tour guide said that there is a MUST VISIT shop that we have to go and there is a MUST ITEM that we need to buy blablabla I was already like “arrghh this could be something unnecessary” and we went to the bamboo, silver, coal kind of store. And of course the sales woman introduce to us the different kind of items, daily used item.

She said that there is two types of coal like the one that has a really high energy and low energy (like the BBQ coal kind of type) and she also tested it with a machine which I don’t really pay attention because why would I have a coal on my home to keep the energy?! I already have enough of energy within me so I don’t need any additional energy.

Besides the coal, they explained the magic bamboo stuff on the daily usage, such as bamboo water bottle that can change the PH of water into the healthier one, she demonstrated that our drinking water was not healthy (which I also don’t care because for almost 27 years of my life I’ve been drinking bad water and I’m still alive so yeah! booyah! I ain’t buying that)

And then the towel for hair that absorb water within seconds so my hair can dry easily which is interesting btw and I bought that! hahahaha. Moving on to the cream that could be use as a glass cleaner for car, bathroom anything anywhere that if you put it on the glass car and then you drive the car but it’s raining, the water will directly drop, of course there is a waiver function on cars but it’s different you don’t need to wipe it with the waiver it will just fall off directly. Next is the chop board that can hold a very heavy meat almost like 75kg (because this is the weight of the tour guide and he stand on the chopboard and it didn’t break) but who would put a 75kg meat on the chopboard?! Scarf with many tutorial on how to use it, which there’s also many people on youtube channel that does that hahaha but honestly the scarf is pretty unique and soft as it’s made out of bamboo so the material is really different.

But then, the most interesting item was!!!!! are you ready??? drumroll pleaseee! dum dum dum dum…. I called it:

EMERGENCY UNDERWEAR!

She said it has some silver and coal on the underwear, well I don’t really get it they said it’s good for the health, anyway I see it on the other way. Watch what is the 功能 of this emergency underwear and why I called it likewise.

And the most amazing is they also have SGS certificate! I mean as someone that doing sourcing the certificate from SGS is pretty hard to get and it’s the most reliable testing institution!

Pretty amazing yah?! So I think if we have this kind of underwear we don’t need to worry about suddenly electric shut off at our home because HAA! Just take this underwear and a rechargeable light bulb and VOILA! electricity 来了 🙂

 

Definitely Wrong Benchmark

Me and my mom is in Hainan now! Tadaamm…

My mom said that Hainan do a lot of promotion in Indonesia, like cheap tour and also we don’t need a visa to go there which is convenient, but the deal is my mom cannot extend her stay at Hainan or at China. So this tour was for 5 days and 4 night and I took my holiday to meet her in Hainan as well as I also never been there. The main point is mainly to meet my mom, I’m not really interested in Hainan at the first time…untilll! this this place enlightened me for a “wrong benchmark” that I took haha.

We are now on our second day here, and it’s pretty impressive, the sky is sooo clear and sooo blue, the weather is the same as Shanghai I guess which is hot…haha…

We went to a “must visit government bamboo shop” as what the tour guide called, usually I don’t like when the tour guide planned to go to some kind of shopping place but actually this bamboo place was not bad at all, I will explain on my next blog ahahaha stay tuned readers 🙂

And we went to a deer place, I have no idea why the hell it’s called a deer place when we can’t even see the deer, oh! yes we could see a deer statue ahaha, but the view in this place is nice, and of course I mean the dear statue is nice it’s looks like a deer.

We went up to the view point where we can see the Dubai made in China building, which is shorter like waaaayyyy shorter hihihi  but instead of Dubai which is 1 very tall building, they have 5 cute short building look like Dubai-ish.

Both me and my mom really likes to watch a show, circus show like ERA in Shanghai and that kind of things. And in Hainan, they have 2 shows, one is Las Vegas Show where it was more like separates shows first is they do some dance, acrobats and magic. The second one was 三亚千古情, the translation will be Romance Park which not me the one who translate it, but this is how its written everywhere…. Both of the shows last for 60-70 mins, but on the second show at least they have only one story while on the first show they have separated acts.

Both of the shows we liked it a lot, but what is the most impressive for me from the Las Vegas shows was the last acrobats which is two men that seems boneless, but they are full of muscles.. yeasss biatchhh! While me and my mom watched the show, our feet was already feels so weak because how could they do that to their bones?!?!

And then tonight, the story from this Romance Park is something about romance duhhh! obviously! haha but also they have another boneless acts. I was wearing my glasses but I couldn’t see of where is the rope or something, I mean how can they bend their body like that!!!! there must be some very thin rope..or a magic shoes….but they moved their legs….. hmmmm… Please be assured that it’s not that I’m jealous because I can’t do it but I was just amazed by HOW HOW HOW!

Definitely they trained since they were kid, and me! what I can do is….. I can only do split and bridge and I already felt that I’m on top of the world in terms of flexibility but turns out I’m on top of nothing compare to this acrobats. Well, it’s simply because I choose the wrong benchmark! haha I choose Thorben and Stefan as my benchmark 🙂 They are pretty shocked that I can do split without warming up in front of them, while Thorben he can do 80% of split but Stefan…he can do like 0% or even – hahaha. John and Aggy was there too and they also remembered that I can do split directly.

Well this Stefan he is not archery guy he is a friend of Thorben…which… he has another 3 guys also with the same name as him at his office (yes! I paid attention to your story! including the story that somebody also have the same name with the same date of birth like you… which Leyfa thought maybe someone stole your identity while me… I don’t think so somebody would steal your identity haha! I mean why would them steal…yours? haha! #notjoking)

Anyway, at least I am still able to do split and bridge which is quiet OK but yeah definitely not count as flexible anymore especially after I see the shows performance and my conclusion is I should not take Thorben and Stefan as my flexibility benchmark hahaha!

aannddd Goodnight from 三亚果喜大酒店!Marlyn’s OUT! for now only 🙂

 

 

Monday Morning Not Mourning

It was started actually on 19th of August Sunday when somebody on the archery people posted how to swear in Germans but since it was already late at night and this conversation continue until Monday morning the 20th of August. Usually every Monday at precise exact German 12:00 noon time Tim will post an announcement so that we can register for the archery game on Sunday the following week, but since it was Xiaker’s race so there was no sign up and this is when it happened!

It was started with Thorben explained quote: “the beauty of German language is that we can concatenate as many nouns as we wish and it still makes sense!”

Followed by Luxembourgish guy Raoul wrote a sentence Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitansmutzenhaterung. (yes it has 3 f and its correct).

And  Aggy challenged Thorben to add 1 more word after Raoul’s…..and here it goes: Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitansmutzenhalterungbefestigungsschraube. (Look how long it is!)

and the updated one to: Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitansmutzenhalterungbefestigungsschraubengewindeschneider.

and if that’s not enough, here is the final words: Donaudampfschifffahrtskapitansmutzenhalterungbefestigungsschraubengewindeschneiderfertigungsanlagenbediener.

and the translation will be: the person using a machine that produces devices to cut the thread on the screw that you use to mount the holding a captain of a steam boat on the river Donau uses to store his hat!

UNBELIEVABLE! and I know it will be so hard to picture it so our dear German friend-Andy made a picture of it:

I need to took a very deep breath to read this sentence:

I will have to ask Thorben to record this video and will update it again! So far, I only have a voice record of him reading this sentence. But both of us need to write the sentence first on paper and then read it.

I was laughing so hard when I read all this messages so that particular Monday morning was not mourning at all! These guys genuinely have a funny heart! Sometimes some random things goes to this Hungover Games group chat and that random things makes this group chat one of the group chat that I don’t want to skip reading it.
