Landing in Beijing

Arrived in Beijing. Mercedes didn’t come. Lily and James sent their driver with a Buick. Julie and Deirdre checked into a hotel called, awkwardly, “Golden House Silver Street Grant Hotel.” Julie immediately ordered massage service for both her and Deirdre, which turned out to cost them RMB200 each. It was about CDN$28, a big rip-off. But it was still so much cheaper than CDN$75 plus tax in Canada. I am going to wait till I get the deal of CDN$4 an hour.

The driver sent me and Sienna to Lily’s house. Deirdre and Julie came later to join us later. Then James and Lilly did take us in their Mercedes to an amazing restaurant. Sienna fell asleep around 5pm. She shouldn’t have. We had to leave her in the house with the nanny. I came back first while James and Lilly took Julie and Deirdre for a tour on the Tiananmen Square before sending them back to the hotel. Sienna was awake and watching TV with the nanny in her tiny room.
