Beijing: Last day in Beijing

My last full day in Beijing was Valentine's Day, it also happened to be Zhang Yan's birthday, so we hung out in Beijing. We went to a mall and had lunch and she helped my find some gift's for my friends and family back home. We had to go to a hospital in Beijing because she had some respiratory infection, so I went with her. I was very interested to see the inside of a Chinese hospital. It seemed a little darker than I am used to, but I was given to understand that it was a small hospital and she went there because the waits are shorter.

After the hospital we went to a mall and had lunch. Hand cut noodles in beef noodle soup. It was amazing! Then we went to the various stores and I bought a small bag for me camera, a fountain pen, and some other small mementos and gifts. We passed a young lady trying to spell out "L-O-V-E" in rose petals in front of where she was selling roses, but the wind had other ideas! We also passed a blood mobile and I got a pizza from Pizza Hut to have for dinner and breakfast before I caught the plane for home in the morning. It was a fitting day to end my trip to Beijing!
