I was once in Home Inns Zhangjian. It is a three-star hotel. Not bad except the location - it is located at the end of Zhangjian Hi-tech Park. Again I booked at ctrip.com for a Home Inns nearby Tsinghua University. The price is CNY170 per night. It is not so close to Tsinghua actually. The location is in a poverty zone. You definitely agree China is a developing country if you look around the hotel. The mattress is not firm. The room is not sound proof. The toilet flushing next room sounds just like in your room. The worst part, it has mosquito, in March!

The movie is a Hollywood remake of HK movie Infernal Affairs. I didn't have any interests to watch the same story until the movie blockbustered Oscar. The heck, CNY 5 for a piracy DVD. The scene is bloody, with tons of slang. The cast is full house of top actors, good guys Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Sheen, Mark Wahlberg, bad guys Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson - directed by Martin Scorsese. Won 4 Oscars - Best movie, best director, best screenplay and best editing. Especially for best director, Scorsese can finally smile on the Oscar stage. Personal take, this movie is no better than HK original Infernal Affairs.
