Hotel review: Blue Horizon Hotel in Laoshan
热度 1 虞左俊 2012-5-11 22:46
The room is very nice (if you don't look at minor details). So is the service. (I did argue with the front desk for a thing or two at check in.) The breakfast is excessive. Yes, too good and too much, and one needs self discipline in order to keep fit. (Think about those hungry American kids in th ...

Clouds are better than smog...

It was overcast here in Qingdao, and will remain so for the next 4-5 days. I long for a bit of blue in the sky...

Beijing's veil
热度 4 虞左俊 2012-5-6 18:08
Finally, my honeymoon with Beijing is over: She is veiled. During the ride to my second hotel, my throat was on fire. I could smell the dust, though all car windowed were closed. God, if you do exist, please offer us some rain now!

Do you know east, south, west and north (in a big city)?

I never had to worry about finding my way in Beijing before. It's not because I knew Beijing well, but because I had a local guide. This time, I am on my own (though I can email and call for help). So, how can I NOT get lost? I had no sense of directions until I had to drive. A friend majored in ...

I hope that's all I have, though I am not around hay and probably have no fever. I decided to air my rooms yesterday, and spent quite sometime outdoors. While walking on Tsinghua's campus, my nose got very itching. I think I'd better stay indoor today...

Summer has arrived in Beijing...

Being outdoor at 2pm these days was foolish, but I did it three days in a roll. Going out at 4:30pm was stupid, because the heat (wave) was still strong. Sure, you could take a subway to escape the heat, but you would re-enter the heat (wave) if the ride was short. However, the air temperatu ...

Did we meet five hundred years ago?

Sometimes, I make friends with strangers. Yeah, I know it can be dangerous, but I haven't done myself any harm so far. Yesterday morning, all (breakfast) tables were taken at Beida Global Village Building No. 9, where I stay for my first official visit to Beida. I carefully checked a few tables, a ...
