Trying My Patience

The Internet connection in hotel #2 is REALLY trying my patience. I have to click a zillion times on my browser icon before any connection to the hotel proxy can be detected. Then there's another field to click on before it can be connected to the Internet. And this takes ANOTHER zillion times to be detected. Geez.

I've never been so stressed up in Beijing before. I feel my blood pressure being at a dangerously high level. The crawling pace of traffic kills me and I can't fathom why people would want to own cars here (OK fine, it's a status symbol and all I know!). I would sooner own a bike if I lived here. It would get me to my destination in half the amount of time!

I know, I sound like a typical spoilt Singaporean. But seriously, I could live with this if I were travelling for leisure AND not paying that much for accommodation. But when travelling for business, I like to have Internet connection and stuff all in working order so that I can work in comfort and get to meetings on time. Ah well, never at this hotel again!

And I haven't been having any good food 'cos there's not much to eat around this hotel. Hungry ME = Angry ME. Stay away!
