and you probably still look more fashionable than most Chinese in their 1950's swimsuits ????

Thought the Chinese were collecting jelly fish for dinner, in order to not have Mama soup every day

Meanwhile, on other areas of the beach, 264 tourists were stung by vendors, taxi drivers, and sightseeing tour agents......
