A Crazy Weekend Posted by on Aug 15, 2009 in Vocabulary

Yesterday was a fun-filled day.  I went 潜水 (scuba diving) complete with a 氧气瓶 (oxygen tank) strapped to my back, rode a 摩托艇 (jet ski) and even went up on a 帆伞 (parasail).  The 沙滩 (beach) tourism industry in Shenzhen is alive and well, especially at 大梅沙 (Dameisha) where I was.  The activity that took the most getting used to was the scuba diving, as your 耳朵 (ears) would be miserable from the pressure unless you performed the Valsalva maneuver to reduce the 压力 (pressure) from the water.  All of this cost about 300RMB (~45USD) for a 套票 (set ticket), certainly 划得来 (economical) if you ask me!
