Saw new sights and sounds today. Essentially since that is the idea of touring, I seem to be fulfilling the whole point.
Have moved from the Olympic venue - the Beijing Friendship Hotel - to a place which is a bit more of a budget thang.
It seems OK at the moment. It is a bit more limited in space but then it does not matter. I'm here to see things like Houhai Lake and the Temple of Heaven.
Both of which I have taken in. Not to overcome by the taxi drivers. As far as collective commentary goes, it's an edgy thing getting a taxi. Even when they stop it's not always certain that they will take you.
One tried to charge 150 yuan for a journey - even though there is a meter in the car.
I know I look like a tourist but I didn't arrive yesterday.
