A superb zoo for which even cities of greater magnitude feel jealous about!
Courtesy of a 3GPP business meeting, I was lucky enough to execute my first trip to Beijing, China some years ago. At that year and at that age travelling to China was like embarking to a trip to Neptune. China was still an undiscovered country – or to put it better – an under-discovery (sic)…
