We flew from Beijing to Hong Kong today. I used miles for the flight, so we flew business class on Cathay Pacific. It was pretty cool, and it was my first time in anything but economy class. Very nice! I also used points/miles for the Holiday Inn in Hong Kong.

The Forbidden City's name is only half true these days. It's no longer forbidden, but it is really the size of a city. That place is huge, and it's smack dab in the middle of Beijing.

Wangfujing is a pedestrian street, and it's also got an alley coming off it it that sells all manner of strange foods, mostly on a stick.

I used some frequent flyer miles and hotel points from credit cards for most of this trip. One of the things that got us was two nights at an amazing Hilton right in the heart of Beijing. It was great!

These pictures are from our first day in Beijing.
