Travel diary on Jan 22, 2017

As usual, I took Nankai trains for Kansai International Airport.
I was afraid that there would be crowded with Chinese tourists travelling during lunar New Year. But, people gathering at the airport seemed to be the same population as usual.

I boarded Shenzhen Airline for Beijing.
The problem was that no cabin crew understood my English. Even if I wanted chicken rice for flight meal, a cabin crew said "Uh, ha?" with frowning face. So, I had to say "鸡饭(Ji-fan)" instead of Chicken rice.
Chinese airline careers must educate cabin crews to make them speak and understand English. If can't, those companies have to teach them how to communicate with passengers respectfully.

After the aircraft arrived at Beijing capital International Airport, I boarded Airport Express for Dongzhimen. Strictly speaking, it's not "Airport Express" but, "Metro Airport Line", when we translate "地铁机场线" literally.

The aircraft

10 mins walk from Dongzhimen took me to the today's hotel. Though I was afraid that the hotel would be closed late at night, the hotel was open and there were 2 hotelkeepers!
And what is better, one of them could speak English!

I entered my room at 22:50.
