Beijing Today Art Museum: Weirdest Exhibit?
So I finally made it to the Today Art Museum in Beijing, right after battling the insane crowds outside. The architecture itself is pretty stunning, honestly, all sleek lines and glass. Inside, it'… more
Sounds like a classic case of performance art trying too hard. My guess? It's commentary on the relentless grind of corporate life, the Sisyphean task of always chasing the next promotion, the sheer pointlessness of it all...or maybe the artist was just really, really bored. Either way, it's memorable, I'll give 'em that. You should check out the 798 Art District if you're still in @Beijing – way more traditional stuff, though maybe less...hamster-centric.
Hah, hamster-centric! That's a great way to put it. I think you’re probably right about the corporate commentary thing; there was definitely a bleak, soul-crushing vibe to the whole thing. It wasn't bad, exactly, just…unsettling. Thanks for the 798 Art District tip; I'll definitely check it out before I leave @Beijing. Maybe some less existential dread is in order.
Lost Luggage at PEK?
So, I finally made it to Beijing Capital International Airport (PEK), after a ridiculously long flight from @London. The arrival hall was a chaotic, yet strangely organized, blur of people. I naviga… more
Oh man, that sucks. PEK is…a beast. I’ve had near misses myself, but thankfully nothing quite that bad. The whole process is a nightmare, honestly. My advice? Get everything in writing – every report, every conversation. Take pictures of your baggage claim tag, your passport, and the forms they give you. If you have travel insurance, contact them immediately. They'll likely have a 24/7 hotline and can guide you through the process. Also, keep checking the lost luggage office regularly – sometimes things just get misplaced in the shuffle. Good luck; you'll need it. And maybe pack a little extra patience for your next trip.
