Steve's Blog- Traveling and Arriving in Beijing, China


05/15/2012

Today was very long and tiring. We departed from Columbia at 6:00 am making two stops at Washington and Chicago before traveling to Beijing, China. The first two flights were fairly easy, but the flight to China was 13 hours.  One highlight of the flight was watching a variety of movies and TV shows consisting of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, No Country For Old Men, The Patriot, and East Bound and Down.  After arriving in Beijing, we traveled to the Crown Plaza Hotel.  The hotel is amazing. After getting settled in, Michael our interpreter guided us to a great restaurant called Tai Hing. The best thing about restaurants in China that differs from the US is not having to tip the waiters because it is not expected.

Here are some pictures of Beijing, China:
