Reporting live in Beijing. We just arrived about an hour and half ago. Traffic was bad and the taxi driver was rude! Good luck with the Olympics. He dropped us off at the wrong entrance at the hotel and then charged us additional cost to "drop us" off at the "correct" entrance.
We are staying at the Holiday Inn, Lido Place; it's about 14 Km from the airport. Coming in, traffic was heavy; funny when I was here last, you would not have seen Chinese natives flying in and out of Beijing just like any Western countries.
The hotel is ok. Things are bit dated but hey, you are in China, it's come a long way. Just roll with the punches. The laundry lady was nice; Audrey needed a shirt for tomorrow's work; the lady bended backward to help us. Beijing people is known for their hospitality just not that assh*le taxi driver.
Don't know what my plan for tomorrow while Audrey works for the 1/2 day. I might sleep in and just veg....
In the afternoon, we are heading off to the Great Wall; staying there for two days to hike. Expect nice pictures when I get back to Shanghai.
