SIN / PEK / SIN //

Just came back from Beijing. It's a super short trip but yet, so much was achieved. Left Singapore on Fri early morning (effectively Thurs night) and reached PEK at abt 6 plus 7. By the time we left the airport it was abt 8am and was greeted by the local correspondants. Went straight to the hotel and boy, it was nice. Headed out to Yong He Dou Jiang for a snack and then it's lunch. Fully paid buffet and ate sashimi like there's no tomorrow. After that, proper work starts.

Well, it was quite a long day as we ended at 7pm plus. Then it's dinner. Tried some real authentic Sichuan food and there's this "shui yu". It's basically fish in oil. Yes, a whole big bowl of oil. The food generally were super duper oily...

After that went back to the hotel for a massage followed by foot reflexology. Knock out during the massage and the foot reflex was so painful and ticklish. At the end, got laughed at by her and I slept. The massage cost only RMB120 for 2 hrs. I was told that SQ staff will find this company whenever they are in PEK. I got a card too and it states that they specialise in attending to SQ staff, emirates and dragonair crew. haha.

Next morning buffet breakfast at the hotel. Then followed by work. In the afternoon, went for lunch at this very famous restaurant that our very own president went beofre. Then headed for the airport and I'm back after 5.5 hrs of flight. Chop Chop.
