In Beijing we stayed at the Grand Mercure Hotel. We checked in after returning from the Great Wall.
That first evening, while the others were taking a pedicab tour of a Hutong area and going out to dinner, I stayed in my room, iced my knee and ordered in.
The front desk staff got to know me very well! Whenever I approached they said, "ice?" and I said yes and they had it delivered to my room. Such nice people.

So sorry about your knee! But I identify with your sense of accomplishment--to have come all the way to the great wall then not get up there? No way.
I've heard of the Chinese hospitality from a friend who worked at the Beijing Olympics (same district). Looking forward to more installments.
Interesting article, added his blog to Favorites
I, of course, a newcomer to this blog, but the author does not agree
