one just opened about 3 weeks ago. What a place! Huge, huge,
huge!!!!! But the highway entrance into the Departure level sucked
the big one. Who thought of that!!! This was a brand new
International airport and there was only ONE lane, I repeat, ONE lane
into Departure level. So 630am, traffic was backed up, the entire
Departure level was choked with taxis and alike. There was no sign as
to domestic or international departures or which door was for which
airlines. How the heck did the dry run of this airport passed or
considered as "smooth"? c0Mm!e reporting. It was just a mess outside
the door.
After security though, this new airport was nice. It had all the high-
end stores like Boss, and LV. Even had a Starbucks! And spacious.
Very spacious. A clone of Hong Kong airport at this point.
Flight to Beijing was 1 hour 50 minutes. Our b'fast was rice porridge
with side dishes of egg and tofu strips, water melon and a hot BBQ
pork bun. Beat that AC!!!! At least, the food was "heathy".
Taxi from the Beijing airport to downtown. Man, I had forgotten how
"exciting" it could be. We arrived at one piece, good thing.
The hotel we are staying is called JingLun Hotel. It's a Nikko's
hotel. Chinese hotel anyway. Iron-wife will be teaching a class here
for the next two days. The receptionist at check-in should be fired.
But the staff that organize the course venue at the hotel here was
exceptional. World class efficiency. 5 out of 5 all the way.
Tomorrow, I better get out of this hotel room. Stuffy and too warm.
Good that there are two small windows I can open. The heat, I have
shut off otherwise, it would have risen higher than 25C. Too hot.
