Beijing 2008: One World One Dream (1)

I keep telling myself that I should update on my Beijing trip soon. Here it comes, with 2 months already past. It is never too late to start I guess. And yes, it will be a real test on my memory. I will try though. Here is one photo taken at the new Terminal 3 of the Beijing International Airport. It was clean and spacious and looked set to usher in the Olympic Games. Go China!

Speaking of lateness, our class was late for our welcome dinner hosted by the Peking University. So sad right. Wait bad impression then we can kiss future trips bye bye. I trust that the Chinese are magnanimous, but noble hearts and minds should not be taken for granted. We were late because our bus stalled on the expressway. And the air-con malfunctioned. What we could do was to alight and take a breather by the road shoulder. And this lasted for an hour before the bus was repaired and took off to the restaurant.

I lost count of the number of times I had seen this signboard:

This is the Peking University central library where I had spent many afternoons when the class was having its lessons:

Not to forget the beautiful Weiming (?) Lake within the campus:

I will update on the trip further, having covered only 2 days here.
