There are also some souvenirs waiting for you.

There is also a massage for the visually impaired, the price is 100 pesos per 30 minutes, which is a great value! The ones in white uniforms are the visually impaired masseurs. We have experienced Monopoly on both the outbound and return journeys. It is really worth the price. The masseur has strong hands and is very professional. I highly recommend it. It really kills two birds with one stone.

I took OceanJet No. 788 for the outbound trip. I waited and waited but the boat didn't come. The outbound boat was about 30 minutes late. Unfortunately, the blue screen in the waiting hall did not remind me that I would be late. Please pay attention!
