Was looking at where I'll be staying for 3 weeks come mid march.


"The 511-room Sheraton Sanya, opened just 10 months ago, is one of the poster boys of the new Sanya. The most expensive accommodation in the hotel is the presidential suite, containing two jacuzzis, numerous large screen TVs, two offices and a price tag of over RMB 300,000 per night.

Boasting its own private Wi-Fi-ed (wireless Internet access) beach stretching over 8km along Yalong Bay, the Sheraton Sanya is a far cry from the supposedly five-star state-owned hotels of a decade ago. "This is what white collar and golden collar urban Chinese are demanding now," says Meady Tang a marketing consultant in Shanghai. "A few years ago when these people first had money to spend, they booked tours with local operators and didn't have a very good time. Now they are willing to pay more for a resort experience of international standards.""


Can't remember when the last time I stayed at a 5 star resort overseas was. I should be excited, getting an all-expense paid trip overseas to a 5 star resort with sports, activities, food, blah blah.

I'll probably just play ps2 in the room XD. I need internet access somehow though.

I was kinda happy that I didn't have to go when TY won. But now that he's forfeiting, it seems a little fun. The experience of a lifetime, as Alex said.

Will have to do some planning to use this to get my music exposed to the world.

Last guy that went from SG was Julian who made it to the semis. Didn't know he had that condition.

Had a long talk with the President. To my surprise, he's not like what I thought he was like at all. How he decided to chase his dream overseas to get a degree, but ended up not being what he had in mind; sounds exactly like what I found out. That its takes trial and error to remember what your real dream is. What your real passion is.

Young people nowadays have no dream. No desire. Maybe its not their fault. Victims of the education system and society. Circumstance and situation molds a person. But it is the most resilient one that can remember who he is.
