BEIJING 2008
My travel buddies and I went to Beijing five months
before the commencement of Beijing Summer Olympics. We bought train tickets at
Shanghai Train Station early in the morning. There is an english counter
strategically located at the station. Traveling from Shanghai to Beijing via
sleeper train took 12 hours. The train departs at exactly 7 in the evening in
Shanghai and arrives in Beijing at 7 in the morning the following day. There
are restaurants inside the train that offer wide range of food and beverages that
will keep everyone from hunger throughout the trip.

When we arrived in Beijing Railway Station, we immediately
went to Harmony Hotel (now Beijing City Line hotel), to check in. Our
accommodation is just located across the street. I thought that we were so
lucky because we are staying near the Beijing Railway Station, which is
connected to all Beijing Metro Lines. And so, going around the place was very
convenient for us
