Arrived in Beijing without any trouble. The flight was actually more comfortable than usual; we managed to get seats near the exit and had a very nice and roomy trip.
We decided to go from the airport straight to the Dutch and Iranian embassies, which was a bit of a chore because of having to drag around our luggage. It was, however, still preferable to having to wheel our stuff over to the hostel and then running back.
Lunch was had in a restaurant near the embassy. We nearly got gauged there, when the people there tried to have us pay for tea that they had offered us without telling us the price. I made a big scene and cussed them out in Chinese, which I’m actually pretty happy with; my Chinese obviously has improved.
In the end we paid fifteen yuan instead of thirty. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless.
