A light day today. Still a little “train-lagged” if such a thing is possible. Once we had our business items sorted out, we went and wandered around the city. Nice sunny day, kites flying everywhere.
Beijing is the host of the 2008 Olympic games. The International Olympic Committee may not have made that decision yet, but Beijing certainly has. Lots of new construction underway. Tons of posters announcing the 2008 games. Probably a lot of other things happening that I am unaware of since I do not speak the language.
Seems China is in the news in the US at this time. Something about a collision between Chinese and US military planes and the some US military personnel that are taking an unplanned holiday over here.
Back to the Great Wall tomorrow.
