Well we made it to Beijing in 11 hours but the flight didn't seem that long because we fell asleep for 7 hours of it so that was a great way to pass the time.
We're now in a transit lounge at Beijing airport and are enjoying a quiet rest before the next flights to London.
The transit lounge has a very Chinesey feel to it, especially when you see the wierd snack food they give you to eat. The photo attached was a small sample of the most wider variety of sugar-filled snacks to enjoy (or endure)... Almost all of the snacks are sweet and feel really fake in your mouth, like the 'bun' on the top right which is filled with some sort of custard in the middle. Or the wierd coloured blob things called 'moochies'... there is absolutely nothing natural about those things. They feel like you're eating a glue stick and they taste like nothing at all!
The worst one of all though is the dried, sweetened chicken shreds. They smell horrible when you open them and the taste isn't much better. I steered clear of them after a quick test taste.
Well now that the hotel staff have finally found a powerpoint for phone (after trying about 8 different powerpoints and trying to communicate to me in broken English that they are all not working)
I'm gonna let it charge up so I can blog to you again soon. Hannah's crashed out on the lounge next to me and I think I might do the same...
Bye for now!
