Pre-Beijing

We will be leaving for the Hangzhou airport shortly to fly to Beijing. I'm not sure if I'll have internet connection and an adapter for my laptop or not, but we are being taken care of by my dad's old classmate, so it should be a fairly nice hotel. If I don't post later tonight, it most likely means I won't be able to post or upload anything until I get back. Stay tuned.

Edit: (I have internet and my laptop can plug into the wall. Huzzah!)
I arrived in Beijing around 4:30 pm and went straight to the hotel. It is owned by an extremely nice German hotel chain called Kempinski; we are definitely being spoiled. We had dinner in a hotel restaurant, our own private room and all, with a bunch of my dad's old classmates. The food was great, better than what I've had in Hangzhou. Below is a picture of my room (I get one to myself =D).
