never in my life have i felt that travelling in a country was so fraught with frustration.

a semi-malfunctioning laptop (with no LAN, no videocamera, and a 40 minute battery life), unhelpful and unfriendly hotel staff, less-than satisfactory wifi/LAN policies, and being in a country that's firewalled against the rest of the world-

i can only say that it must have been n times that i sighed in frustration, wanted to blow my top but in the end just resigned to fate and tried to look on the brighter side of things.

Yes, china (Beijing, to be specific) can be quite spectacular.

but i'm never go back again, ever.

Not unless i have to.

Good riddens,

and Good bye.
