大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊我的海南岛之旅。我现在在海南度假。大家知道海南在哪儿吗？海南是中国最南边的一个省，也是最有名的海岛。这是我第一次来海南，我和我的朋友计划在这里待一个星期。有一天我们在聊天，突然说到很想去海边。我们商量了一下儿，很快就决定一起来海南。
这次的行程很随意，我们打算一边工作一边玩。我们定了机票和民宿，看了下网上的旅游视频，大概了解了可以去哪里吃喝玩乐。昨天早上我们坐飞机到了机场，再坐一站高铁到海南的文昌市。民宿的老板来高铁站接我们，开车几十分钟就到我们住的地方了。我们订的民宿是在海边的一个小区里面，从阳台就可以看到大海和沙滩。在阳台喝着咖啡吹海风，非常舒服。
海南的椰子非常有名，我们到了马上买了两个椰子喝。这里的海鲜非常新鲜，我们去市场买了虾和螃蟹，然后拿去旁边的饭店加工。加工费是一斤13块钱，我们还点了炒青菜，还有免费的茶和菠萝。我们在酱油里面加一点柠檬汁，这样蘸着吃很好吃。
早上我很早就起来看日出，然后给学生上课。学生看到我身后的大海，他们都说很羡慕。昨天我们买了一只鸡，这也是文昌有名的美食。今天中午我们打算自己在家里做饭吃。待会民宿的老板会送我们去当地的菜市场，我们可以买些新鲜的蔬菜水果和海鲜。下午我休息一会，继续给学生上课，然后傍晚我们去海边散散步。晚上是我们头马俱乐部的演讲例会，今晚我是主持人。今天非常充实，明天我们工作不多，准备去椰林玩。这是中国最大的椰树林，那里的椰子鸡很有名，就是椰子味的鸡肉火锅。
这几天我会做一些视频放在我的Youtube，大家如果感兴趣可以在DailyChineseWithYuli看到。
你最喜欢的旅游地是哪里呢？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

こんなふうに、住んでいる場所によって　同じ気温でも、暑い、寒いの感じ方は　全く違うということですね。

Whether you feel hot or cold at the sam temperature depends on the person.　I live near Osaka.　The lowet temperature this morning was 3 degrees. It is quite cold for me.
