Three hotels in four days within the same city. Am I tired or am I tired of moving? But I am glad to be in Hotel #3. It's the hotel I normally stay at whenever I'm in Beijing.
A sense of relief washed over me when I stepped into hotel #3. Just when I had thought all was going to be OK from now on, I get a call five minutes after I step into my room. It was from the receptionist telling me that she had forgotten to swipe my credit card as a deposit and so I had to make my way down again. Gggrrrrrrr.
I was originally slated to remain at hotel #2 till Tuesday. But my colleagues and I decided that we couldn't take the place anymore and that we wanted to move. I mean, the rooms are so old and the hotel has NOTHING around the vicinity and the hotel staff are just so dumb. I don't even want to go into that! It's just been highly frustrating. And the food there has been absolute crap. I haven't had breakfast in the past three days and I've had to drink water to curb my hunger. That's pure torture for anyone, not to mention a foodie!!! Lunch has also been yucky. I've never felt more pathetic on a business trip.
Anyway, now that I'm in hotel #3 I'm happy. At least there are restaurants and a massage place nearby. I know what I'm going to do tonight!
