At lishuiqiao
Just after I took the picture, a driver of the train for Tiantongyuan North shouted me something.
He may have said "禁止拍摄！(Don't take picture!)".
I ran to the platform of Line 13 to get to Huoying.
I rode trains on the following route.
Lishuiqiao→Line 13→Huoying→Line 8→Zhuxinzhuang
At Zhuxinzhuang, I got out from the station and took pictures of Changping Line Train and train on Line 8.
Changping Line
Line 8
It was comfortable to take pictures without interruption of staffs.
I walked to Zhuxinzhuang station.

Zhuxinzhuang station
The problem was that train from here to Xierqi(Downtown bound terminus) was crowded, of course.
I managed to be pushed into the train, and arrived at Xierqi to change trains for Line 13.
By train on Line 13, I went to Zhichunlu to find the point to take pictures of trains on Line 13.
But, I couldn't find it.

The picture says "Safety notice, do not cross the railroad"
The track behind the picture is under renovation for making Jing-Bao Line(Beijing-Baotou Line) high speed rail.
By Line 1o and Airport Express, I returned to Beijing Capital International Airport.

Inflight Breakfast?
As well as the previous flight, a cabin crew said "Uh, ha?", when I ordered "Orange juice".
I should have said "Cheng Zhi(橙汁)", instead.
After a long time flight more than 12 hours, I arrived at JFK Airport.
Though I expected that I would have to wait for border control in a long queue, Unexpected thing happened.
There were about 10 machines to issue certification sheet by scanning passport, inputiing personal information, and take selfie.
Chinese madames were noisy, because they didn't know how to deal with the procedure. They asked me something by pointing out my passport. And, I said "对不起，这不是中国人的护照。(Sorry, it's not a Chinese passport.)"
They asked me again "你是中国人吗?(Are you Chinese?)"
I said "不是，日本的(No, I'm not. It's Japanese one)。"
They went somewhere with smile.
People who waited for passport control ahead of me were just 2 Chinese.
An unfriendly inspector asked them something so rapidly. But, neither of them (including me) understood what he said. And, he asked "You speak English?".
They answered by shaking their heads. After that, he said nothing to them.
Then, I was asked "WHAT'S THE PURPOSE?, HOW LONG?, WHERE ARE YOU STAYING?" with unfriendly attitude.
I passed through baggage claim, and walked to JFK Airtrain's platform.

Federal circle
At Jamaica, I bought a 7 days ticket to get in New York City Subway.
The train I rode on smelled bad, and changed cars to the next one.
I went to today's hotel by the following route.
Sutphin Boulevard–Archer Avenue–JFK Airport(Jamaica)→Line E Express→5 Ave→Line M→42 St
When I checked-in the hotel, I found that shower and toilet was shared by travellers on the same floor.
But, due to few travellers, it wasn't a problem.
I went to Time's Square
I went back to the hotel like the route below.
34 St Penn→Line E Express→7 Ave→Line D→47-50 St
And, today's dinner was Indian.
