Where are Beijing's whingers?

It has been two months since I left Shanghai for Beijing, not long to be sure, but lengthy enough to make everything back home dear to a homesick woman.

I miss the zigzagging, bewildering streets and lanes of Shanghai, plus the subway stations deluged with hundreds of thousands of agitated commuters.

Oh, and then there is the humid weather and rain that ensure my outfits are always damp.
