So....I've been here a couple of days and jet lag has settled in. UGH!!
Yesterday when I came in for the evening, I really wanted to blog but was so tired, I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Yesterday was an interesting day:
First, we started off traveling to some of the venues that our guests will be attending. We have to know where to park, where to take the guests thru security, where to pick them up....and the list goes on...... We traveled to the Bird Nest. It's phenomenal! Pictures really don't do it justice. To see it up close and personal was an experience all in itself. It is massive. Seats 91,000. Can you imagine!?!?
We went to the swimming venue, the table tennis venue, the basketball venue and today we went to the beach volleyball venue.
Yesterday we went to the Emperor's Palace. I was so taken by it. It was breathtaking (thus the reason for all the pictures). We will be taking our guests to this tour site. We had to walk through the plan....where to drop off the guests....where the coach would pick them up....and so on.... The guests will be taking a boat ride on the boat you see in the below pics. The boat will take them right up to the Emperor's Palace and they will go inside the Palace.
Dinner last night was a team building event. We were taught how to make dumplings from scratch. Not gonna lie, that was fun! I forgot my camera at dinner, so I have no pictures yets. The other girls are gonna send me theirs. Will post them soon.
I was supposed to go to the Great Wall tomorrow. But I've been pulled to work at the hospitality suite tomorrow since some of upper management is arriving. Tomorrow is my first day to wear the uniform. Will be sure and take pics to post!
Ok....I'm tired. Gonna sign off for now. Take care and I'll be in touch again soon!!
Zaijian!
