I am not working today so my plans are to do some sight-seeing and then hang out with some of my colleagues later in the evening.
My plan today was to visit the Tianemen Square and the Forbidden City with some Atos colleagues from Malaysia (Quiss, Dave and Bick).
I got stucked in a heavy traffic jam on my way to the square shortly before I got to the square. I called Quiss to inform them that I was still in a jam only to be told that the Square was closed today. Quiss told me to take the subway at the square to the next station, Wangfunjin station.
I walked for about 30 minutes in an extremely hot and humid weather to the subway station only to be told that it was closed.
I took a taxi again and told the driver to take me to the nearest subway station which was rather close to my hotel.
I finally got to the Wangfunjin station after about 2 hours of struggle!
The Wangfunjin area is the main shopping area full Malls and restaurants. We had some drinks and then went to the main shopping Mall APM. The APM Mall stretches over 6 storeys and is exceptionally huge.
We had dinner together and then headed off to watch the opening Ceremony.
