And here is my hotel down from the street. You can kind of tell that the streets are paved with stone bricks, not asphalt. I have outlined my room window in red.
Another interesting thing about my Hua Kai Hotel is that they have at least 5 toilets just sitting around the hotel. They aren't hooked up to anything, they're just sitting there. Here is one on the fire escape. There is one more on my floor next to the elevator.
Inside my room is pretty nice. The beds are really hard, so I sleep on top of the comforter. The room isn't dirty, and they clean the room every day. We have a television, an internet cable, a water dispenser (their tap water isn't good), and a couple of electric outlets. I brought my converter so China's 220 V outlets don't blow up my computer.
The bathroom isn't quite as nice. There is always water on the floor, and I haven't figured out what is leaking. The hotel gave us flip flops, so I wear that in the bathroom.
There is the grand tour of the hotel. I'm going to find a Starbucks.

All 5 star hotels supply flip flops so their guests don't have to dip their feet into the leaking water on the bathroom floor. Very nice!
Will! It's so weird that we're miles away from each other in the same country where the time is the same everywhere. I wanted to know who this "we" you're talking about is. Also, btw, your computer's power adapter is probably a dual adapter (or something) so it'll work in any country that will allow US prongs. it just has to say input: something something something ~ 50v~60v.... i know that wasn't helpful but yeah. good luck in beijing! find a chance to travel elsewhere! sorry to have had to miss your arrival to beijing.
