South China Sea Dip

by Max Hartshorne on July 12, 2008

The South China sea is extraordinarily warm. It’s gentle and feels like a bath, and I floated out and put my ears beneath the waves and exalted in that splendor of nothing, of not hearing anything for just a few brief moments.

Sony also loved being on the beach and in the water and this felt like we were truly off duty, and no longer required to take notes or photos….but we couldn’t resist using my x-tender to shoot a quick memory as the sun beat down on my untanned body.

This beach is part of a resort that offers tree houses for two, or rainforest cabins that sleep six. The cost is low, about $340 Ringets for four nights, including meals. Malaysia is amazing for these values, it’s quite a relief from writing about places where everything is so expensive. Here the dollar is worth a lot, and so it makes traveling much easier.

Is an x-tender one of those devices that lets you take self portraits? I love self portraits!

Kelly the X-tender is a cute little device that compacts down to about 6″ but extends a few feet so you can shoot portraits of you in the photo that look like somebody else took them. It’s fun and they sent me a sample, I think it’s x-tender.com
