Beijing/Peking, China – Day 1
China Southern Airlines – Flt#CZ3111 – Guangzhou->Peking (42E)
Meet at the airport by 3 Black Mercedes Benzes
Dad and Mr. Cheng were in one, while Robert and I were in another, and Brian in the third.
Checked into The Palace Hotel
Very formal Chinese Dinner
The little green peppers appeared again
Once again we had “Hung Fu”, plus some really good brandy.
Introduced to Fruit tea with the dried fruit actually in your cup. One drinks the tea with the
uses of the lid to strain the fruit. The boy pouring the water, had any attitude, but poured the
water with a flair!
Robert and I went to the Hard Rock Cafe
Robert wanted to learn how to drink like an American.
I drank him under the table to the point that he fell asleep at the table… The cab ride back
to the hotel was very interesting… Robert spoke to me in Cantonese, Mandarin and English…
