Am back from my Beijing business trip!
It was a really tiring trip but best part is that I got one day's time to explore the city.
This was how my schedule like after arrival:
1am - departure from Singapore Changi Airport
7am - arrived in Beijing Airport
7am-11am - waited in Beijing Aiport from another party to arrive from Oslo
11am - departure from Beijing Airport to Tanggu, Tianjin
1pm - arrived at Tanggu
1pm- 12am- worked non stop in a meeting without dinner
12am - back in hotel room, had dinner and worked til 4am
4am-8am - sleeping time finally
8am-5pm - meeting again
5pm- 8pm - depart Tanggu and journey to Zhuozhou, Beijing
9pm-12pm - worked 15 hours non stop!!!
12pm-2pm - signing ceremony and lunch with client
2.30pm - depart zhuozhou to Beijing city
It's such a crazy schedule!!!
Anyway, I was quite impressed by Beijing and I actually quite like it there. It's much cleaner and people are more friendly than those in Shanghai. The public transport is cheap! MRT is only 2RMB one way irregardless of which destionation you get off and taxi is 10RMB when you get on. The buildings are unique! I suppose these are the changes after the Olympic Games?
beautiful skyline
see this one! Sorry picture taken while I was travelling in a car
I stayed at Sheraton Beijing for one night. Boss has gone home earlier and I couldn't get a flight out of Beijing on Friday itself therefore I had to missed Ah P'ng's wedding in Batu Pahat. Sorry ah P'ng!
