christmas island
the land of crabs..i read an article on christmas day about christmas island. yes it used to be s'pore's but was sold to australia many years back.
the population is kinda small; about 1,400 chinese, 20% malays and the rest are europeans. it's a rural country but with very beautiful beaches and ocean. a paradise for nature lovers. a place you'd wana go after working a the city for some time.
the stuff sold there isnt cheap though(they only accept cash fyi). A$7(S$8.85) for a plate of rice (if im not wrong). BUT if u work as a waitress/waiter there, ur pay'll be like A$30(37.92) an hour! imagine urself working there.. u cld get like a few hundred bucks a day. haha!
there are only two cabs on the island though. so if u wana move arnd, better book a car or something cuz there isnt any public transport. clubs are unheard of over there. a peaceful island indeed! oh yah n it's better to arrange a local tour guide if u wana explore the island cuz u wldnt know where the beautiful nature is hidden.
people there are really kind, as what i've read. they'll lend u their vehicle if u need it. yes lend, not rent. such nice ppl.
how abt christmas island for ur next holiday? (i'd love to go! =))
