On board the Ma'anshan

J and I were fortunate to be invited to tour three Chinese warships: two missile frigates and their supply ship.


























I was really impressed with the firepower of the missile frigate. I have no idea what these guns are but they sure look mighty and powerful.

















































The highlight of the tour was when one of the crew told me "xiao xin" ("be careful"). It felt surreal hearing those words because i only hear it in chinese dramas, lol.

We did not linger on board the ship because it was scorching hot, thus, i had to take photos really fast.
(Dude won't leave the GIs immediately even if he had posed long enough to fry his forehead).














Souvenir.














Yes, the label for this entry is Travel because going to Pier 13, South Harbor under the scorching El Nino heat was like travelling to an African desert.
