Singapore/China Trip: Day 1

At Beijing airport now, awaiting the next flight to Singapore. Woke up at 3am and it's already 24 hrs since I left home, and still another 12 hrs till I get to the hotel! Ah well. Air China is very reminiscent of Air India (or at least what I imagine Air India would be). Also, realized that CHINA and INDIA have 3 alphabets in common (I, N, A) and the other two follow exactly by 1: D follows C, and I follows H. :-)

Anyway, so far so good - Beijing was a smoggy city from the sky, but the scale of everything, including the airport is immense. Some of the apartments looked like Vegas casinos from the sky.

More later, for now will try to get some CNY and buy some grub and tea. Will shoot a note next when I get to the hotel.
