Leo Hostel Beijing

Vihdoinkin perilla. Ei oo helppoo olla tonttu. Reilu viikko junassa, pesemattomana, ilman kunnollista safkaa ja unirytmit ihan pain persetta. Viimeyona nukuin tunnin suunnilleen. Ei tullu uni, ei sitten millaan. Aika harvinaista mulle. Tanaan ollaan aamulla saavuttu jollekkin asemalle Pekingissa, tultiin taksilla hostelliin (1,5e), mut eihan taal ollu semmosii sankyi kun piti olla varattuna. Jatettiin kamat tanne ja mentiin kaupungille pariks tunniks kappailee, saatiin vahan safkaakin. Oli ni...

Tanaan jatketaan matkaa kohti Xi'ania illalla puol kymmenen lahtevalla junalla. Matka kestaa aamuun asti ja meilla on "hard seats". Mielenkiintosta naha mimmoset ne on, ja mimmosta porukkaa nailla halvimmilla lipuilla siella matkustelee. Hinta lippua kohti on 150 RMB eli n.15e. Pienia ongelmia on ollut noiden kuvien lisaamisessa. Taa kone ei oikein vissiin tykkaa kun yritan uploadata niita. Pekingissa ollaan oltu nyt kolme paivaa. Ollaan kierrelty kaupunkia ihastelemassa. Onhan taa kylla hien...

Sept 6th We arrived in Beijing, on schedule, around 9:40 AM on Sept 5th. The train station was absolutely crazy with people everywhere. It took us almost an hour to get out of the station and grab our bearings on how to get to the Leo Hostel where we had made reservations already. We nearly opted to take a taxi but the line up for taxis was so long it wasn't really worth the wait (in the sun). Instead we opted for the subway, which only costs 2 RMB/each in Beijing. It was only two stops for ...

When the container lid slammed down and the bolt was thrown home from the outside, it was dark. Not just dark, it was the kind of dark that can leave you feeling disconnected from your body if it lasts long enough. I could get no sense of anything around me. The whimpering of the small children from different corners of the large, metal room revurberated and echoed off the ceiling and upper corners of the walls and caused a sensation of twenty people leaning over my shoulder and whispering in...

I departed HK in the usual manner - just in the nick of time and covered with sweat. Also as usual, I was an innocent victim of the conspiracies of circumstance. I allowed myself ample time to get everything together as I was aware of my habit of cutting things close. But of course when I turn up to the Chinese consulate to collect my visa, the bureaucrats are on their extremely leisurely 2 hour lunch break and I had to sit outside waiting for them to return. The stern security guards and vis...

So I started my day early with a flight down to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I had a connecting flight from KL to Tianjin, China (about an hour outside of Beijing)…or so I thought. Considering I booked my trip the last few days of school I was apparently a little slow in my thinking and booked a 1am flight instead of a 1pm flight! So as I arrive at the airport looking for my flight and panic a little and then realize what I had done. There is of course only one flight on Air Asia to Tianjin ...

5/12/08 We left Japan today which was a bit sad, very nice country which I'd love to visit again. Caught the Narita express to the airport and then boarded our 3hr flight to Beijing, on board we watched a very odd film called Bandits... Touch down and we were now officially in China! The airport was huge and absolutely deserted which was a bit disconcerting. Got our bags and then managed to find an express train to Townsmen station, where we caught a subway to Changchungie to find our pre-boo...
