This is Beijing, home of the recent olympics. Apparently the hotel is reasonably new, and pretty cheap. When I mentioned the lack of tea or coffee to one of the people at the conference, they said the hotel may not have a license? so apparently they're just setting out breakfast foods, which we accidentally turn in our little chits for then eat at the tables loitering nearby, but they're not running a restaurant, no, see -- no tea!
Oh, well, soon enough I'll be home. And I have been brewing tea in my room with the convenient hot pot supplied.
Interesting trip.
