I just got in Beijing. The flight from Vancouver took 10 hours, which is less than usual.
Looking out the plane's window, I could see countless buildings arranged in organized patterns. I guess that's due to the strong government planning and intervention in economic matters.
I was pleasantly surprised after landing: other than the smog, Beijing is cleaner than I expected. It's not as chaotic as I imagined and people are friendlier than I thought they would be.
My hotel room is pretty cool too. For 35$ a night, I have a clean place with no obvious problem. My room also has a desktop computer with Internet access. It's from this machine that I'm writing this entry right now.
Well, enough Internet for now: I'm going to explore the city!
