Cloud cover has lifted, over Canada now. It looks frozen. 6:15 pm dinner. Smells like Chinese food Mmmm. Pics of sunset at 35,000 ft. Dinner beef rice carrots green beans- hot Fruit & salad + roll. Very good.
It’s 8:30pm 9 hrs to go. North east of the
On the flight - first impressions: Instructions were in Chinese followed by "ChinEnglish". Chinese action movie in Chinese. The times are confusing. Plus tomorrow is daylight savings time. The drinks containers were labeled in Chinese. It looks like every seat is taken. The Pepsi sure tastes good. We fly directly north over Montreal toward the arctic.
Weather Report: Cloud cover today, my window is looking west. Wondering what it will be like at midnight over the arctic.
Reading Rivals- study of Chinese, Japan, and India rivalry in Economic Development. It is 5:45 pm finally needed to walk around. I took a look at the upper level ubber first class $6500 ticket first class. Seemed very quiet and well attended, the seats looked comfortable. It has potential. Dinner arrriving at 6:00. Should I sleep or go for coffee? Landing at 6:30 pm Beijing time in 12 hours. Then dinner and sleep. Hmmmm ? Gulf of Boothia. Traveling at 32,000 feet at 500 mph. 10pm - 7:20 hrs to go. 34,000ft. Over the North poll. Light out - chasing the sun. I see the Arctic Ocean 1:45 am bright outside. Looks like Siberia. Frozen white mountains. Frozen rivers. No sign of other airplanes. No visible roadways, frozen tundra. 4am still over frozen mountains.
6:45 pm. Beijing airport. The area around the airport has less light than US. Less roadways around Airport. 7pm going thru immigration. Glad to be on the ground. Spoke to couple who live in NY and use Taobao.com like eBay in China. Asked where the opportunity in China is? "the Internet". There is a Chinese Social Media site that is going public soon. No Facebook or twitter.
8 pm on the bus, Airport has HUGE capacity. Airport Built 3 yrs ago for the Olympics. Amazing scale . Chinese beer served on the bus - lid pops and cheers. I had bottled water... Welcome to China - Beijing is north - Capitol of China. The Airport is shaped like a dragon. China itself is shaped like rooster. Beijing is the throat of the rooster.
