NGO meeting

Wen Jiao Bao, the right hand of Hu Jin Tao (Who is Hu? you may ask - He is the President of China) is about to visit Hainan. A college student told us that he is coming on the 14th. Apparently there is a big NGO meeting (non governemnt organization) in Boao within the next few days. A certain George W. Bush is also attending. Security is very high. Policemen are all over the place, patrolling the Highways and little streets in town. A lot has changed since last week. The streets are much cleaner and many of the local farmers are not allowed to sell fruits and vegetables in the street anymore. Also chairs and tables outside restaurants are not allowed anymore. But I guess that is just a temporary thing. All will be back to normal once the big guys have left the island. Not much fun right now and Mr Bush will have no idea what Hainan is really like. He should try and come incognito next time......
