Day four in Beijing, China

Day four came and went painfully slow as H' has just bought herself a new place and it is still being remodelled so we had to take a trip to buy a few bits for the house and then travel to meet the builders to ensure that they understood the plan well.
What should have taken no more than an hour stretched to be over five hours as the builders needed their hands held over every minor detail and then measured and remeasured every wall and angle for no reason that I could make out, as they were not taking any notes of the dimensions.
By the end of the day we were both exhausted from standing and talking, or rather H' was and I was exhasuted through standing around and listening to them all chatter away, and so we just grabbed a quick KFC meal from the corner of her apartment block before we watched a DVD movie and then it was once again sleepy time, her for work next morning and me for my trip to the Forbidden Palace and as many other places as I could visit during the day before meeting up with H' again in the evening.
