Beijing Beermas


Beijing Airport is enormous. The thousands of travelers passing through the terminals are dwarfed by the expanse. 30-meter windows offer a wide vista of the runways. Beijing International may be busy, but the scale of this airport shrinks everything into antlike proportions. I'm here on a six-hour layover from Bangkok. My destination - JFK in New York.


Beer at JFK is $9/draft.


$2.50 for a Chinese beer at the Shamrock Cafe. Free Internet too.


Nothing is free at JFK.


Time to head to the gate.


13 hours more and I'll be back in the Land of the Fat and the Freaked.
