Have checked out the temperatures in Beijing for the next few days and apparently Thursday's where the temperature stays below 0 degree celsius the whole day..yay! the other days will also be very cold. I'm leaving this Thursday and will be back next Saturday..

Here's the extended forecast...(day and night forecasts)

I'm thinking of bringing my dad's laptop (which is slightly lighter than mine) to China..my brother has his brand new PSP and I must have something to keep myself occupied during flights and also the 4 hours tour bus to Chengde. And then comes the nights spent at the hotels. Let's see how can I solve this "issue"..=D

OMG!! OMFG! I looked up one of the hotels I'll be staying in (gonna stay in this hotel for the most days - 6 nights) JinQiao Apartment Hotel (Beijing). At first, looking at the name, I thought it was some normal 4 star hotel based on the word "Apartment". I was proven wrong by the photos. This hotel has only 300 rooms, OR RATHER, SUITES!!!!!!!!

From hotel review website:

Located in the Second East Ring Road at GuangQuMen, adjacent to the East Chang 'An Avenue & the World Heritage Temple of Heaven, especially in the Commercial Circle of the Oriental Plaza & China World Trade Center, JinQiao Apartment Hotel is the first all-suite Apartment Hotel in Beijing equipped with Lenovo Network Computer providing free access to internet .All suites of JinQiao Apartment Hotel include luxury open kitchens with Chinese and Western Restaurant & Bar, Hair Beauty Saloon , Photo Express, Air Ticketing , and Post Office service etc., especially a 12-hour Supermarket ideal for both short staying & long residence.

I assume we're going to stay in the Standard Suite which is the considered the cheapest.

One double bed. Personal computer. Complimentary high-speed Internet access. Cable/satellite TV. Direct-dial phone. Furnished kitchen. Microwave. Refrigerator. In-room safe. Coffee/tea maker. Air conditioning. Complimentary bottled water. Ensuite bathroom. Bathtub. Hair dryer.
