OMG! I just arrived at Terminal 3 in Beijing Airport, the building
is quiet fascinating and is a true representation of the truly
breathtaking architecture that is now currently hitting Beijing.
After my check in and feeling slightly hungover from the night
before i am in serious need of some burger type material. Thankfully
there it was Burger King (BK) of all places, this is really a treat for
me as they just dont exist in most parts of China and lets face it BK
burgers are great! I had a Whopper burger meal with cheese and bacon,
just what i needed. It had been over a year since i last had one so it
was more than welcomed.
After my BK i saw the green lights of Starbucks Coffee (SB) now many
may think SB sucks but when you dont really have any coffee in China it
really does not taste to bad. I get a latte and go and attempt to put
in some sugar, SB’s need to sort out their lid system as this lid was
welded firmly on i pulled at it and coffee went everywhere! People were
looking at me saying look at that clumsy person, id spilt half my
coffee everywhere, this happened twice! I then sat down and started
writing my journal, and, guess what? Yep i spilt again only this time
it was not the lid but a wobbly table! Anyway thats my poor SB
experience moaned about.
It feels strange having so much western influences around me firstly
a Burger King and then a Starbucks just to name a few, there are also
more westerners cutting around than i have seen in one place in a year
which is kinda strange. But there is also many of ‘them’ types around…
when i say ‘them’ types i mean you see them at every airport all
dressed smart and look well groomed, but i always wonder WHO ARE THESE
PEOPLE? What do they do? what life do these supposedly high flyer’s
lead, if that in fact is who they are. No offense though im just
curious about ‘them’ types i should just pluck up the courage to go
over over and come rite out with it and just ask “Who the hell are you”?
Still talking about western folk (i may sound obsessed but i have
been out of the UK for a year now, it starts affecting the way you
thing after a while) because its the Olympic period here now i am
convinced i am surrounded by Olympians, i see some guy holding a sports
bag and i am even more convinced. To be honest i have no idea who is
who but its fun just imagining and it passes the time while waiting for
my flight.
