Trip to China - 13th Jan to 20th Jan 2008

This time I have to travel to places in China. What a good time to travel- it's a peak winter in China.The temp can be as low as -27C. My suitcase was filled-up with winter clothings.Flight from KL to Beijing departed 0030 from KLIA..Arrived in Beijing 0630.Felt dizzy ,missed my deep sleep...woken up by the lovely stewardess for supper..breakfast. Then to loo....hi..hi...hi...

Touching down in -3 deg C temperature..so cold... was quite boring for me. However being accompanied by my colleagues , 5 of us from Malaysia ..not so lonely. There were so many forms( Arrival form, Health Declaration Form and Baggage Declaration Form) to fill-in for arrival. Anyway its their regulation and we have to respect the law as what we want others to respect our law. At immigration counterI was greeted by a friendly officer who made my day better.

After retrieving the baggage, not that far from the counter then we went to the transfer counter to check in for flight to ..otherwise we have the big baggage to be dragged.Then we went around the airport terminal most of the shops are still closed except the eateries.Called my loved ones in Malaysia.Spent most of the time in the lounge, ..the broadband facilities is ok checking e-mails .The food served look nice buat alas non halal..so have to settlled with coffee only.We enjoyed the hot coffee in the cold whether while browsing the internet. Time flies very fast..time to depart 1100 to Lanzhou.

2hrs flight - Arrived in Lanzhou ...checked in Hotel Legend (4 star hotel) - about half an hours drive from airport. Stayed for 2 nights. The temp -6 to -9C
