..aimvotal: voyage echoes

You may already know that Beijing even during the recent Olympics events were not exactly the most unpolluted city on the planet. In fact Beijing suffers from smog/haze pollution brought in by the winds from other parts of industrial China. Nonetheless, you will find that Beijing on the ground is a clean city. There was not one day on my visit to Beijing city back in September 2007 that there were no workers cleaning the streets. Big Beijing Haze Problem.

I don’t know about the post Olympics scenario in Beijing today but I reckon it’s not much difference than the pre Olympics months. Back on the point of the blog post, you can see in the above photo that there is a thick gray layer of clouds over Beijing. At first I did not realize it was a pollution problem. I just thought that they were very dark clouds like before it rains. I did not care much about the smog in Beijing during my stay; because I was too excited & happy being with my lady.

Pretty stewardesses, a comfortable seat, virtually endless supply of fresh juices, friendly people sitting near you; what else does a bachelor need for a happy flight? It’s a shame that the television screen was so far away from me on the plane. I reckon I should request front row seats in future flights so that I can have the home theater experience. How many hours does it take to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Malaysia?

Honestly, I forgot now but I guess it will take about six to seven hours. My flight to Beijing back in September 2007 was a night flight. You won’t feel the long hours of travel on a night flight unless you have a problem sleeping on the plane. I did so I was pretty much awake, watching the on-flight movies the whole night. The food is good on the Malaysian airlines Beijing flight. Some rice & meat dish. A good voyage.
