We were up early again today as I wanted to see people’s park before we left the hostel at 11am for the airport. It was another miserable day so at 8am we got a taxi to people’s park which was 20 minutes away from the hostel and had a wander round. There were groups of people all over the park doing tai chi or playing badminton, there were even couples doing ballroom dancing in one of the squares!
After Peoples Park we returned to the hostel to get driven to the airport, only to find that the driver had turned his phone off and no one knew where he was! We ended up taking a taxi which worked out cheaper and flew back to Beijing.
We arrived back in Beijing and back to my apartment at 6pm and decided to go out for tea straight away. We got a taxi to Pinnacle Plaza to try one of the Chinese restaurants that I have been waiting for Matt to try, we went to Alpha and Omega and had a really nice meal of dim sum dishes. We then returned to m apartment and watched zoo keeper. I have to admit, I am really enjoying watching films again, you do feel a bit cut off from the world here in China. I never hear any news about any other country and most UK websites are blocked, so it makes a nice change being able to watch a film that’s not in Chinese.
