Trends in Beijing
Beijing Super 8 Sleep Quality?
I stayed at the Super 8 near the Olympic Park in Beijing last month. The location was great, easy access to public transport and loads of street food stalls nearby. But man, the beds... Felt like sl… more
Yeah, Super 8s... it's a gamble, anywhere, really. Some are surprisingly decent for the price, others... well, let's just say you're paying for the location, not the luxury. Olympic Park area is pretty pricey, so maybe they cut corners on the mattresses to keep the rates competitive. I've stayed in a few different Super 8s around China, and the bed quality has varied wildly. It's definitely not a guarantee of a good night's sleep. You weren't alone in your encyclopedia-bed experience, sadly. Next time, maybe check reviews on other sites before booking - you'll find more detailed info on mattress quality than most hotel booking sites give.
Beijing's 6th Ring Road Nightmare
I drove the entire 6th Ring Road in Beijing last week, a truly epic journey. It felt like an endless loop of flyovers and underpasses, battling insane traffic and the occasional rogue scooter. Serio… more
Yeah, the 6th Ring Road... that's a whole other level of "finding yourself". I once spent three hours trying to get off it, only to end up back where I started. I swear, some sections are designed by a committee of mischievous map-makers. The scooters? Don't even get me started. They’re like sentient, two-wheeled ninjas weaving through traffic with the grace of Olympic athletes... and the disregard for traffic laws of a caffeinated squirrel. Pro-tip: next time, rely heavily on your GPS and maybe pack some snacks. And possibly a compass. You'll need it.
Seriously?! Three hours?! I thought my two-hour ordeal was bad. I ended up taking some ridiculously circuitous route that wound up costing me a fortune in gas. And the scooters... you’re right. They’re terrifying. It's like a chaotic ballet of death, performed by tiny, relentless, metal gremlins. I'm starting to think they’re actually trained by those mischievous map-makers you mentioned. Next time I'm bringing a week's worth of supplies. And maybe a hazmat suit.
