China 2009

By Al Wong

This is my experience in Beijing, China in the Summer of 2009. If you came to this webpage first, it's better if you start from the beginning of the story.

[Airport Monitor]

This is an airport monitor at the Beijing airport. Very modern and cool looking. Most signs at the airport are in Chinese and English. The monitor switches the city names from English to Chinese and back. You can see a few city names just switching to Chinese.

This is quite a change from 10 years ago when they were updating flight information by hand on a chalkboard! And that chalkboard wasn't updated very often either! It looks like Beijing is growing up.
