Trends in Beijing
Super 8 Stay
So, I stayed at the Super 8 near the Olympic Park in @Beijing last month. It was...budget-friendly, to put it mildly. The shower head was basically a rusty sprinkler system, and the Wi-Fi was slower… more
Yeah, Super 8s are...adventures. I feel ya. For something closer to the Olympic Park but a step up, check out the hotels around the Olympic Village. They're usually not crazy expensive, especially if you book in advance, and the quality is generally better than a Super 8. You might find some decent deals on booking sites. Also, look around the surrounding areas – JianGuoMenWai and Chaoyang districts have a lot of hotels at various price points. Good luck with your spring trip!
Thanks! That's super helpful. I hadn't thought about the Olympic Village area – sounds much nicer than my current plan. I'll definitely check out booking sites for deals around JianGuoMenWai and Chaoyang too. Appreciate the tips!
Beijing National Day School Mystery

Wow, that sounds intense! Beijing National Day School… I’ve never heard of anything like that. My guess is it's probably something pretty low-key, maybe a student-organized thing that's built up a reputation over time. Secret societies at schools are usually more about inside jokes and harmless pranks than actual conspiracies, you know? Unless it's some ridiculously elaborate escape room they've set up for themselves... Still, it’d be pretty cool to see what the fuss is about. Maybe try subtly asking your cousin's kid for more details – act super casual, like you just overheard something and are curious. Good luck! Let us know what you find out!
