Finished with Changchun (长春) and am now in Wuhan (武汉). We flew from Changchun to Beijing (abt 1.5hrs) then after a 3hr stopover, flew from Beijing to Wuhan. We were quite lucky actually. Apparently, Beijing has been experiencing thunderstorms in the afternoons. Just yesterday, over 300 flights were delayed (some by a day!) because of a thunderstorm. When we arrived in Beijing, the weather was nice and sunny! When we arrived into Wuhan, we heard that Beijing was experiencing thunderstorms with floods. Phew. Talk about luck!

Wuhan is supposed to be known as one of the four 'ovens' of China. Temperatures here can reach up to 37 degrees. Sigh. Not looking forward to the hot weather. We'll be here for just a short couple of days before we're off to Shenzhen.

Am already missing laksa and chicken rice.
