209 I'm back...

Hi, I'm back to the blog finally, after 2 long months of hectic work. But I'm at Beijing now for another project... ha ha.


Fly Air China this time, the last time I flied with them were 1989 winter. Of course things improved a whole lot over 20 long years, yet the pilot seemed like steering an F16 when landing the airport, we all had an exciting ride indeed.

The new T3 of Beijing International Airport is massive, really massive. And it wasn't crowded at all, indeed it seems to be like a deserted building. But then why did we have to get off the plane aside the runway away from the terminal building, and had to take a bus to the terminal,  while all gates weren't occupied? Is Air China saving docking cost or what...?



The terminal is obscenely big. To me, it's somewhat an impressive piece of architecture after all, yet it seems to have no point at all to be built to a size like this. As far as I observed today, not even up to 10% of the whole terminal is being used. Some parts left unused actuallylook unfinished, and are already wearing out...

But in pictures, it do look majestic.
