| Page Views: 2,717 Last Visit to Xiamen: June, 2002 | China's Hawaii?!? by Marisola - last update: Aug 26, 2008 |
I was looking for a job for the summer of 2002 in China and chose a job in Xiamen, China. I had heard it was an island off the Southeast coast of China called "China's Hawaii," and thought of beaches and palm trees.... |
|  | What I found there was actually a more commercial place with high-rises like Manhattan or Hong Kong! |
| | Although it wasn't what I had expected, I loved it there!!! Be sure to look at my travelogue below on "My Life in China." China is great!!! |

| Pros: | "Everything is cheap, city is vibrant and alive!" | | Cons: | "Very Hot and Crowded! Better Speak Chinese!" |
