Super 8 Shower Pressure?
Stayed at the Super 8 near the Olympic Park in @Beijing last week. The location was great, easy access to the subway and loads of street food stalls nearby. But man, the shower pressure was WEAK. S… more
Yeah, I've stayed at that Super 8 a couple of times. The location's killer, can't argue with that. But the showers...oof. It's definitely a common complaint. I wouldn't say it's always weak, more like...inconsistently weak. Sometimes it's fine, other times it's like trying to wash your hair with a leaky faucet. Probably varies by room, I'd guess, but don't bank on a strong shower there. Maybe try one of the bigger hotels near the park next time. You deserve better after a day battling the crowds.

Get lost. Seriously. Just pick a side street and wander. Don't look at a map, don't plan a route. Let yourself get turned around. That's how you find the really good stuff in Beijing. Those alleyways are a labyrinth, the best discoveries are accidental. You'll stumble on things you'd never find otherwise. Embrace the disorientation; it's part of the charm. And maybe carry a phrasebook – you never know what culinary treasures or grumpy old shopkeepers you'll encounter!
