Scorching Sun of Hainan

March was a month of madness. Usually, it is one of my favorite months. I get to watch some great basketball, and I can feel the beginning of spring. The beginning of March was like a lion, but by the end of the month it was quite like a lamb.

I have just returned from a vacation. I thought I would reward myself, and I surely did reward myself! I went to Hainan Island. It is in the South China Sea. So, I spent the weekend laying on the beach and soaking up the sun and swimming in clear blue water. Yes, it was a nice respite. I returned to Shanghai with a little bit of burned skin. I’m even really careful, but the power of the sun still got me. My eyelids got burnt, and on Tuesday when I returned to school they were swollen a bit! My lips are also a bit sore.
