Well, the time is getting closer. Only 10 days until lift off.:icon_biggrin: And a few more questions have cropped up. First off, for those of you that have flown into Beijing.....my lady keeps asking what chamber I will be arriving at. I am assuming she means what terminal. I will be flying in on United from Tokyo and as near as I can make out, they always arrive at Terminal 3. Anyone have any info on this. I called the airline and they said this too, but they have been wrong before. So thought I would ask the Brothers for any info. And anything else I should know about the airport? Are there 2 airports in Beijing? PEk and BCIA? Or are they the same? I thought they were different, but after reading about them on internet, they sound like the same one. I booked into PEK.
I will be spending the last 3 or 4 days of my trip in Beijing checking out the sites. Plan on seeing the Great Wall, Forbidden City, maybe the square( I can't spell it so i won't even try:huh:). And there is supposed to be a Harley Davidson Dealer somewhere in Beijing. Am going to try to find that also. I'm sure this has been brought up 100 times on here, but anything else we should check out. Not sure about hotels yet. My lady is supposed to be taking care of that. And doesn't seem to be in any hurry. This i am not used to. I'm used to getting these things taken care of well in advance. But I decided to go with the flow here and see what happens.
And lately she has taken quite an interest in the retirement situation. Not only mine, but hers. The way i understand it, men can retire at 55 and women at 45 in China. She only has about 5 or 6 years before she can retire. And I could retire in about 5 years if I decide to. Anyway, she says if she quits her job she would lose all that. Which is true. So, I am not sure how things will turn out. She obviously, has been thinking a lot about this. Once again, this trip, just going with the flow. And the 24 hour rule applies to absolutely everything I do not understand.
Oh, almost forgot! If anyone happens to be in Beijing March 12 thru the 14th and would like to meet up, I will try to make arrangements. Or Handan, the week before. Didn't figure anyone would be there..haha.
