..VOYAGE ECHOES (minus WIND)

The baggage claims area of the Beijing International Airport, just like many parts of the building is nothing to shout about & typical. No baggage of mine was lost, most importantly. It is as though the mind set of the Chinese government is reflected in the architecture. Make it simple, functional, give a modernistic form to it, & save cost whenever possible. For my self, arrival to the airport back in September 2006 was without hassle & long queues.

It is the departure from the airport that gave me some shivers. Overall I did expect a whole lot more from the Beijing International Airport considering that Beijing was holding the 2008 Olympics. Of course, there was a new airport terminal being built when I was there & I did not get an opportunity to see it. Folks who visited Beijing in 2008 for the Olympics sure did as there was no way the current airport with its original size & function could support the influx of so many people from around the world during an intense month like the September 2008 Beijing Olympics.

I know more than a hand full of people who wear prescription eyeglasses. Although they usually wear contact lenses during the day, on occasion I do see them wearing their glasses. The reason being they feel more comfortable wearing glasses because eyeglasses are low maintenance. There is one place online where one can buy prescription glasses that are just as good as the ones sold in the real world retail shop.

The website is at ZenniOptical.com. The company manufactures their own frames for the eyeglasses. They are so cheap, the lowest priced pair of glasses cost only $8! The previously unheard of cost effective pricing model has revolutionized the eyeglasses industry. It’s so cheap that you would not think twice about buying a pair as a gift for a family member, relative, friend, & loved one.
