I had as much fun as I could in Xiamen.  I was actually there on two different trips during the summer of 2008.  Yes I know this update is a little late.  I saw some interesting things and some beautiful scenery on my days off.  If you visit Xiamen you must go to Gulangyu Island and climb to Sunlight Rock.  I caught up with my old friends and made some new ones.  As someone who emailed me pointed out it is against the law to honk on Xiamen Island, so the honking was kept to a minimum.  When I came home from the later trip (October 11) it was snowing in Utah.  That was a shock after being in the warmth of Xiamen.  Any way I am home now and will not be going back to Xiamen unless it is on a vacation.  Something that might happen when my son is old enough to make the 14 hour flight and remember the people and experiences.
