China 2009 – Day 02 July 27th

Day 02 of my trip to China:  Tianjin

I realize that during my post yesterday I forgot to write some stuff I found interesting.  I mean I am jet lagged and all plus being  disoriented from sleeping all day haha.

The cities here has so many cars.  They are all real nice cars like Audi, Toyota, VW and etc.  I didn’t realize how much China has developed.  One thing I wasn’t too use to at first was that honking.  Normally it’s quite rude to honk at someone in Canada, but over here honking is considered normal.  It’s a way of letting others know you are there.  It is kinda neat in my opinion but just a bit noisy on the road.  On my way to Tianjin from Beijing yesterday we were driving on a new highway.  It looked just like the highways we have in Canada with the exception of Chinese signs.  There are more interesting things in my pictures I’ll be sharing but lets get to today’s tip first.

Tip #2 in China:  Always leave the Do No Disturb sign on your hotel room if you don’t want random people knocking on your door.  A guy knocked on my door yesterday asking me if I wanted to buy 20 oz of Whiskey.  I was sleeping when he woke me up.  After being disoriented and told him that I didn’t want it I fell back on to my bed only to realize he was actually speaking English to me haha.

Picture time:

First Hotel I stayed in – There is this remote in my room which controls everything in the room. I thought it was pretty cool not having to move at all.

First Hotel I stayed in – This feature in the room is really energy efficient. When you come in the room you slide the card in, it will turn on the lights. When you leave the room you slide out your room card it will automatically shut off all the lights for you.

July 27 Breakfast – This is something I been longing for years. It is made out of Tofu and some other soy product plus a little bit of spice. Yummmmmmy!

July 27 Breakfast – This is an egg boiled with tea bags.

July 27 Breakfast – With such yummy breakfast like this, who wouldn’t wanna wake up at 7am to eat it? haha btw the chinese donut you see there on the right taste nothing like the ones in Canada, it’s so much better here.

First Cell phone – This cell phone is actually really neat. It takes 2 sim cards. It has 2 call buttons so you know which number to call from. Instead of carrying 2 phones, you can just carry 1 phone with 2 sim cards. Business people must love this feature.
