Honqiao T2

Greetings from T2. Since my flight isn't supposed to leave for around 40 minutes, I'd like to give you guys some highlights.

I took the subway here, largely for research purposes:
-total journey from Changping Rd. Station was 40 minutes
-both bus and taxi can get me there in ~30 minutes, provided traffic is light
-the Jing'an Temple xfer was quite a bit of work with luggage (silly me chose one of my least convenient suitcases this morning)
-price was only y4
-I'll probably stick with bus/tax in the future, but I'm glad I tried out the subway

General thoughts
-big improvement over T1, though I was hoping for something like Element Fresh
-I'm eating some Muslim ramen right now, which is surprisingly good
-here is the list of restaurants here: Acting Buffet, Acting Cafe, Costa Coffee, East Dawning, Islamic Restaurant, KFC, Real Kungfu, Starbucks, Subway, Tea Restaurant, Tea Sensation INN, Xiao-NongTang Snack, Yeasun Coffee

That's all for now. (I did take pics with my phone camera; perhaps I'll try to post some of them here.)
