廈, the first character of 廈門 Xiàmén, is a homophone for 夏, meaning summer. My time in 廈門, China was a short little trip but full. It was a quick ferry ride over and about 50 USD roundtrip. I was running on less than 6 hours of sleep; I was hella tired, but the weekend getaway was much needed. In some aspects, the hustle and bustle of Xiamen reminded me of Los Angeles... or maybe I was homesick and just seeing things. I saw a Universal Studios look-a-like, streets that reminded me of Hollywood, Pizza Hut, and a shopping center like FIGat7th. Take a look at the photos yourself!
