Well, this holiday in Europe went fast by, didn't it?
I arrived back to Beijing on Friday early morning (after a 21 hour trip, which included a 12 hour wait in Moscow airport and me trying to get some sleep on a bench in Burger King there... Figured this is a new low in my life).
So far, me and my jet lag have managed to visit the local IKEA and Sanlitun. Today I was brave enough to head out to the Yonghe Tibetan lamasery - since the weather and the air have been awesome these past few days. Also, I'll be busy with school and other errands during the next few weeks, so I figured I should do something which would get me out of the campus.
I also figured that in order to get to know the city a bit better, I should use the subway a bit less and experiment with the buses. Since you're actually on the streets when riding one and start getting a sense of directions a bit better.

Puhkus Euroopas möödus välgukiirusel!
Saabusin Pekingisse reede varahommikul (teekond kestis 21 tundi ja sisaldas endas 12 tunnist ootamist Moskva lennujaamas, kus ma õnnetult üritasin Burger King'i pingil uinakut teha ja mõtlesin endamisi, et see on küll mingi uus madalpunkt minu elus).
Senini olen oma jet lag'iga suutnud kohalikus IKEAS ja Sanlitunis käia. Täna vedasin end lausa Yonghe laama templit avastama - ilm ja õhk on paar viimast päeva imehead olnud ju! Lisaks olen järgnevad paar nädalat kooli ja muude kohustustega üsna hõivatud, seega leidsin, et pean oma viimast vaba päeva asjalikult kasutama ja ülikoolilinnakust välja pääsema.
Lisaks otsustasin, et kui tahan linna paremini tundma õppida, peaksin metrood vähem kasutama ja bussidega eksperimenteerima. Maa peal liigeldes saab vähemalt aru, kus mis asub ja hakkab ehk osavamalt orienteeruma.
18 meter tall Buddha statue, the pride of this temple!
