The company needed some onsite work in Beijing so I got sent to Beijing for a few days on the companies dime. Great! I took the fast train up to Beijing and got a nice hotel near the client office, I did the onsite work however the plan changed as I was on the train and the 12 machines they needed fixed changed to only 4, however accessibility meant that I still needed to stay over 3 days, perfect!
The hotel was a Spa hotel, offering spa quality water, however the water was yellow!
I managed to not work too hard and sneak away an afternoon and do a little sight seeing, going to nearby TiananMen, eating a mountain of Beijing Duck, and getting over to the Birds Next stadium, which is a huge place left over from the Olympics, and the scale of the place must be seen to be believed. I didn't manage to make it to the summer palace however to see the giant inflatable duck 'sculpture' that is there at the moment, a shame!
