China - never a dull moment!

[hummel]

In Foshan at the moment (going home tomorrow) and air quality is around 135... cant imagine what 300+ is like in Beijing.

Blue sky here today, even got the sunglasses out.. plenty of weird looks!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I'll be in Beijing next week but certainly won't be running any marathons - fastest I will be moving will be a brisk shuffle to and from the bar!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Which reminds me - TheEmu - Nanjing Thur night - you about?

 

[Bolthead]

I'm going to the Chinese Visa Centre in Sydney on Wednesday however I think the air quality will be ok...

All good air quality OK.... waiting for an hour to hand in my visa form, that's another story.

Thank god those days are over - APEC greatest godsend of all time. Any of you MEL dwellers go through that torturous excercise at their old embassy off Toorak Rd? OMG!

Yep weather in PEK appears significantly improved next week or so - should be able to get some good pics for the 'View from My Office' thread.



You are headed to PEK Bolt? Dates?

Ok - possibility we might cross over NKH / PVG - would be excellent to have another AFFer join our NKG FF get together so - TheEmu and I are bit over staring into each other's eyes at Ciao Italia.

OK, we are staying at the Sofitel Hyland in Shanghai and I think the Hilton Riverside in Nanjing. Haven't booked either yet but will in the next day or so. It would be good to catch up and meet some other fellow AFF'ers.

Looking forward to catching up with you in NKG, Bolt.

Next week mate - 30th - if you go there tonight you'll be a sad lonely soul sitting there with Giuseppe until I arrive.

TheEmu. I tried to send you a PM however I got an error message saying your quota is full and until you delete some messages you can't receive any more messages. I have sent the same PM to Cruiser Elite.

Thanks

Bolt

I'll pass on your concerns Bolt - he is a banana bender mate - you know - bit slow on the uptake.

Thanks for your advice on the IC. I have checked out the prices and it is a bit over my budget considering that I will be paying for all three rooms. I think I will stick with the Sofitel Galaxy as I can get that for $84 AUD per room inc. breakfast.

Thanks again

Fixed. Sorry about that Bolt, the bananas up here take a lot longer to bend!

Too bad CE, I hit the double-nickle today so I might have to rent a local crowd to assist with some celebratory sherbets!

CRH train Beijing to WuQing - only 10 mins away - WuQing is home of famous WuQiong Florentia Village Outlet Mall - however I was heading to a factory instead:



This is only a 20min journey so train does not hit top speed 300kmh:



Once dep station - I kid you not - this is the pedestrian bridge from station across hwy to Shopping Mall - Chinese don't do things in half measures!
