Most of the visitors to the Novell office here in Beijing are from the US – and get ferried around in a company car with driver.
The first time I was here with Laurence we wanted to stay at the Marriott – a whole 15 minutes away; we got a lot of pressure from the local team to stay at the ‘company approved’ hotel just a 2 minute walk (or a 2 minute drive!) from the office.
This time we just made our own bookings and are staying about 20 minutes from the office; nearer the city center.
We’ve been commuting in on the Beijing subway. That’s an experience.
Not so much “Mind the Doors” – at every door there is a uniformed subway employee who physically pushes people into the train.
The walk to the office is also interesting – every crossing has a uniformed crossing guard keeping people moving and traffic moving.

I’m a-logging bugs against code.
Reminds me of the Dilbert cartoon:
Usual disclaimers – (c) Scott Adams and all that

I flew into Beijing last Sunday – it was (surprisingly) a clear and sunny day. The Great Wall of China was clearly visible as we flew into Beijing.

I am in Hannover for a couple of days; announcing a new product at CeBIT – the worlds largest IT and technology show.
It is my first time here – and the scale is unimaginable. I was warned by colleagues about the traffic, the remote hotels and the expense – but until this morning I was unprepared.
The Novell stand is huge; with product demos; a cinema and a cafe to talk to partners and customers.
Two press meetings down; a press conference and a partner briefing to go.
