Beijing Marriot Hotel City Wall..rather disappointing

Travelled to Beijing last month as part of my job. We checked in to Beijing Marriot Hotel City Wall on 18June.

The moment when I checked in my room, I told my collegue that this hotel must have a low occupancy rate , as I saw a dusty plant on the writing desk. I tried to wiped it clean with a tissue and left one single leave uncleaned for the chamber miad.

But, that particular leave was still dusty on the day we checked out on 21June...

Travel blog creation

Yes, I love travelling very much. This blog is created upon the suggestion of a very dear friend, who lives on the other side of globe.

Shall start to share my travelling experiences by posting my recent trip to the Kansai area of Japan. Went to Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe , each of the three cities has its own beauty and interesting stories to tell.

This is my first time to see so many species of sakura in full bloom within just a short period of time, the beauty is just beyond speech, and I wasn't able to capture its beauty in full with  my present camera skill !!

I would say , Spring in Kyoto and Osaka is a must go trip for flower-loving travellers.
