I'm safe in China.

The plane from KL to Beijing was pretty uneventful. Was at the back of the plane so farely noisy. Able to get a bit of sleep anyhow.

Got picked up from the airport - arranged beforehand. Figured it was extra $5 but almost certainly worth it, I think. The guy grew up in Chengdu. His dad was from Urumqi originally. He thought it was funny that I didn't have a 'lady'. I asked about a bit of fruit that he had. Found it in the dictionary, but didn't know what the English meant. (!). Anyhow.

My initial impression of Beijing is big. Lots of the building around where I am staying a big. Very wide roads. Special bike lanes on the side of the roads which is good... It's also pretty flat. No hills anywhere.

Anyhow.

I'm getting hungry, and it's starting to get dark. So head off soon. Probably early to bed. Tomorrow I plan to hire a bike, and cruise around town. Too big to walk around.
