Day 1 - Beijing
Touch down at beijing Airport 6am in the morning, stepping out from the airport you can literally cant breath due to the air pollution.sky is also grey...dang got into a black cab..it turns out that its the most expensive cab ard ..the bill came up to 160 RMB... thats abt 30 SGD..So lesson one is never to take a black cab but a red one which is much cheaper.

My hotel is comfort inn hotel a 5 star hotel most of the amenities are there.. but the pool and the gym you need to pay. Comforting thou is that there is free broadband access!! yup. (notice that blogspot.com is blocked due to china gov crackdown on freedom of speech) .

While waiting for my colleague to arrive i went to the shopping mall next door...have my lunch at the food court and went down to the al-fresco starbucks... foreign franchise is rampant here in china. I bet the open door policy is speeding up the development and influx of these foreign investment.

Later at night we had our dinner at a famous sichuan resturant ...lotsa dishes i have never eaten before..was so bloated i almost cant move...

think i gotta end now...getting sleepy!
