My son is pretty funny, isnt he.

Arnold:
Since he's my bro...that makes you my Dad ? I actually have a step-dad who's name is Jim , but he lives in Nashville TN.

About the Beijing Airport , has anybody that flew into that Airport , seen from the Air . That the Terminal's as a whole , looks like a Dragon with scale's and all ? Thought I mention that .

Jadams79:
I seen the overhead pictures when the olympics were on, but I wanted to take a cell video of it on approach.

Arnold:
That's it Mike , the tail in back and the Head and the Ball it alway's chase's in the front . Closer up the roof looks like scale's .
Leave it up to the chinese to come up with that . If you ever go to the Olympic Village , the Hotel and Business center next to it , is in five part's , also look's like a Dragon from the ground though . Also worth mentioning , while walkibng through the Village and next to the Birdnest , there is a straight line in the walkway . That straight line follow it and it will take you straight to Mao's Picture on the wall of the Forbidden City by Tian-an-men Square . That line goes through the whole City of Beijing .

for me, arriving was the confusing part. I think after picking up my bags and heading for customs I must have gone the wrong way or something since I passes through customs without ever talking to anyone and ended up back at a main check-in counter with a thousand other people to re-check my bags for the next flight to my destination.  I made that flight with 15minutes to spare, and had the same 2 hour layover. It damn near took that long.

Leaving was far simpler. The forwarding area took care of any hastles and other than the flight attendants from the previous leg not giving me a little slip for immigration for my exit, was smooth as silk.
