TimD Posted January 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Though I am looking forward to this trip the only anxiety I am going through right now is landing in Beijing and getting around the airport. Going through customs and then getting my luggage. My wife tells me that she has to wait for me "outside" the airport and I will see her after I get my luggage. I will just look for "western" people and follow them and hope I don't get lost Link to comment

Its no problem Link to comment
Guest bbridges51 Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Tim, Don't worry about it. The way the process you, there's only one way to go....You'll end up passing through a gauntlet of people at the exit, some waiting for loved ones and some pitching very expensive taxis. MOst likely, she'll be there, but there are counters with English speaking help. I'll be passing through there again, on February 8th, but not before a new stopover in Soeul. NOw, that will cause me some anxiety. Brian Link to comment

It's not that hard even though you will by your own, but you will be alright. Link to comment
JoeLiyan Posted January 7, 2003 Report Share Posted January 7, 2003 Agree with everyone. Been to Beijing twice now and never had problems following signs or asking questions of workers there...all have enough knowledge of English to get by. Also been expanded and is new and clean (most, if I recall). Relax Tim, and have a safe trip. Wish I were joining you, Then again, I continue to be optimistic the end is near. Link to comment
