News from China, Day 1 - We're here !

Well, we made it ! To the left is a shot of us just before we got on the first plane. That was a short one, but the next flight was LOOOOOOOOOOOONG ... Emily watched some movies, and had a little neighbour peeking over the chairs to watch too. She slept probably 4 hours, I slept for probably a total of 2, and Melissa barely slept. Her inner ear must be weirded-up, because she still feels like she's faintly moving.

Beijing is crazy ... construction everywhere. Loads and loads of buildings going up for the Olympics. We ate at a restaurant called "by the lake" ... it was a feast, came to $8.39 per adult, including drinks, tip, taxes if there were any. And we ate like kings ... the dishes kept coming, we were stuffed and they had to take stuff back ! And apparently, that was EXPENSIVE ! Yesterday's crowd said dinner cost half that.

Well, it's hard to believe that tomorrow we get Jaime ! It'll be an early morning (4:30 wake-up), so I'd better get to bed ! More news, of the really exciting kind, tomorrow !
