No.6 Jiangtai Road Beijing, China, 10-6437-6688
One last night in Beijing before heading off to the Eternal City. Stayed at the Holiday Inn Lido close to the airport to avoid a long trip back in the morning. A bit out of the way from anything but still packed with yanks (who probably chose it for its familiar name - how unadventurous). Had a great last night meal and spent our remaining yuan on big jugs of beer.
Beijing, China jimmy-ellenToday we got up at 8:00am. We went down to breakfast at about 8:15am. Laura, Amy, Hayley, Elyse and Aunty Sharon had already gone to school for their last day. Uncle Andrew had to go to a dentist to do some work on someone's teeth so Craig and I had to come. We had lunch near to hotel and it was really yummy. It was a garlicy meal, so when we got back to the hotel, I got about 8 breath mints from the front desk. Then at about 3:30pm, we had to go to the school where Aunty Sharon and the girls...
Beijing China, China lozzafisher3/29/2007 Beijing, Forbidden City, Summer Palace Our tour bus was at port to meet us as promised. We were 8: Dave and Kathy, Suzanne and Woody, Jeff and Nanette (all from the Seattle area), and us. Our tour guide was Alan. He gave us a booklet from his tour company, Oriental Pearl, which was subcontracted to our tour company, Beijing Services. The great thing about it is that it has some essential Chinese on one page in the back. I didn't learn much but I could say hello (nihao) and thank you...

... her resentment upon others. With hurried step, she forthwith came over, and laying hold of nurse Li, “Nurse,” she said smiling, “don’t lose your temper, on a great festival like this, and after our venerable lady has just gone through a day in excellent spirits! You’re an old dame, and should, when others get up a row, still do what is right and keep them in proper order; and aren’t you, instead of that, aware ...
Beijing, Beijing, China irstitHi everyone. I just arrived in Beijing about 10:30 (Beijing Time). I am pretty shattered as my long-haul flight, although being smooth, i found it difficult to sleep. So now I have sandbags under my eyes, but have got to stay up to get used to Beijing time. I got on the plane no problems. However it took about an hour and 20 mins to get to my hostel (the Taxi driver got lost!!!). Traffic in Beijing is crazy!!! On the highways they have a speed limit of 100mph and ...

Beijing, China shjiufuThe traveling to China was long but didn't feel like it at all because mom and I both slept for a long time (thanks to the sleeping pills and the complimentary red wine!!) I didn't even have "time" to watch a single movie or read very much of my new book. Can you say "SNORING"!? We even missed out on one of the meals because we slept so much. Our upgrade to Business class was the ...

Beijing, China chinatoursWe were greeted with crisp air and a beautiful blue sky as we made our way to the Temple of Heaven. The structures and thought put into this religious and ceremonial area is astounding. The layout was particularly impressive with it being based on the number nine (the emperor's number) and the number twelve (the twelve months of the lunar calendar). The temple itself is beautifully decorated and built. I couldn't imagine modern day ...
