Ni Hao,

ich bin erfolgreich zum dritten Mal auf dieser Reise in China angekommen. In Japan war das Wetter wieder sehr regnerisch und auch Japan Rail hatte heute Probleme, die Zuege hatten allesamt Verspaetung. Und der Zug zum Flughafen wird zwar Express genannt, braucht aber 1h und faehrt teilweise langsamer als die S-Bahn (dafuer gibt es keine Bahnhofstops).

Ausreise war problemlos, ich bin mit Air China geflogen, seit langer Zeit mal wieder eine 747, allerdings schon eine recht klapprige Maschine. Zu sehen gab es nichts, dicke Suppe von Tokyo bis Beijing.

In Beijing haben wir am brandneuen Terminal 3 angedockt. Das muss jemand designed haben, der Reisende hasst. Erst wandert man einen kilometer zur Immigration (die keine Probleme bereitet), wartet doch in der Schlange (obwohl es gar nicht so viele Reisende gab, drei Flieger waren gelandet, frage mich wie das in der Rush Hour ist), dann faehrt man 10min 5km mit der U-Bahn zu den Gepaeckbaendern. Wenn man dort dann nach so 30min ankommt, denkt man, das Gepaecke koennte doch schon dort sein. Pustekuchen, man wartet nochmal 10min auf das Gepaeck (bis das erste Gepaeckstueck erscheint, meins kam erst nach weiteren 5min). Effizienz ist was anderes... (und die Gepaeckanlage schlaeft schon mal ein, es laufen eine Menge Serviceleute rum, alle eingekleidet von Siemens (ich nehme an, Siemens hat die Gepaeckanlage geliefert...)).

Immerhin ist der Bus preiswert (in Japan fast US$30 fuer den Zug, Bus ist noch teurer, hier US$2 fuer den Bus in die Stadt) und der Verkehr herrlich anarchisch. Nach den Polizeistaaten Taiwan, Suedkorea und Japan eine richtige Erholung:-)

Und Beijing ist natuerlich nicht wiederzuerkennen, mein letzter Besuch war ja 1990.

Da Japan ja recht teuer war (und ich mich auch nicht besonders angestrengt habe Geld zu sparen:-) habe ich mir hier in Beijing auch ein teures Hotel geleistet, ein traditionelles Innenhofhaus in der Naehe der verbotenen Stadt. Die facilities sind aber recht modern:-)

Gruss
Ralf
