Unintentionally we began transitioning ourselves to the different time zone with our lack of sleep. With just two hours of sleep we kissed our girls goodbye (two of which were awake) and R headed us out to the airport just prior to 5:00 a.m. The day and two flights went well and we followed the flight attendants lead to shut all window shades and begin the day as if it were night. The 13+ hours on our Beijing flight went extremely fast with only the last 20 minutes requiring many to have the special bags for upset stomachs ready (just in case).
We enjoyed the sights as we traveled to our hotel and had several gasps as the drivers took things into their own hands on the over-crowded road. SO many bikes; people have found inventive ways to transport cargo or passengers with their own two legs.
We have tonight to rest and the next two days to adjust and sight see.
Glad to hear that your flights went well
