Beijing Trip Day 1 - 24 May 2007

We took the 1am flight to Beijing. Cannot believe it that the flight is packed with people on business and families with small kids despite the late hour. Winston is excited (as usual) at the boarding area, but once we reach our seats, he fell asleep, even before the plane took off !

Reach Beijing at around 7am, and the traffic in beijing is crazy ! We took about 1.5 hours to reach the hotel ! This is where we stayed :


Our hotel room doesn't have an external view, only an internal view:


The indoor swimming pool


The little monkey fell asleep again after we settled down in the room. Husband went to work and I zo bo in the room:


In the evening, when Husband is back, we went jalan at the nearby Wang Fu Jing Street:




Notice that the sky is pretty dark, not because it's late at night, but because the city is shrouded in dust. Plus there are quite a substantial number of renovations of the pavement at the Wang Fu Jing Street, so the place is really quite dusty.

We bought some sweets, and a pre-packed Beijing duck as souvenirs because our trip is short.

We went to the Ajisen Ramen-equivalent for dinner. Not bad :)


A nice church:
