It was a short day as far as doing stuff goes. We went to the temple of heaven in the morning, a most impressive place. Take a look at the pictures if you don’t believe me:-) We then ate and went to “silk street” (more about that later), then mom, Rick, Steve and Brenda left for their next destination in China. I took the subway back to my new hotel! It turns out the subway is a dead simple thing to use. There are only 3 lines, line 1, line 2, and line 13… Don’t ask me, I don’t know what that’s about… <\/p>\n
Anyway, I went back to my new hotel. I couldn’t afford the 5 star hotel that I had been staying in (thanks guys for the fancy digs my first 4 nights!), so I found a cheaper place. This is listed as a 2 star and it is costing me all of $26 bucks a night. The room is really small, small enough that when I put my bags on the floor (there is no closet), I have to crawl on my bed to get to the desk because there is no longer any floor space! The bed is rather hard and I have what is possibly the world’s heaviest pillow. It feels like it is filled with pellets of some sort, so it isn’t soft, but it does mold to the shape of your head. Despite these two things, I sleep really well, no problems with comfort. This place does have something that I have never seen in a hotel room before at all, a computer with high speed internet access. And get this, there is no additional fee for the internet! So this place gets a big thumbs up from me, it’s clean, has high speed internet, is comfortable (for me), and is CHEAP! I didn’t do much the rest of the day, just wandered around the neighborhood to see what there was to see. I went to bed early because I was beat and because I would have to get up early for my next day’s tour…<\/p>\n
