Staying in Beijing

Outside the "female" residence (Grace & mom's room) we can see the many changes Beijing is making in preparation for the 2008 Olympics... building, building, building!
All the way into the city we saw new highways, new buildings, new airport runways, new terminals...
and in the restaurants & stores we heard the new changes... everyone is trying out their english.





From the "boys" residence at the front of the building you can see the weather for the day... smog or is that fog ? Whatever it is, it is getting thicker.

You can see the old part of the city across the street...I mean the 8 lane highway + 2 lane bicycle route.






6pm Beijing time



While mom crashes in the room...








Dad and Grace go out for a "snack".

Okay, Dad's idea of snack was a big dish of noodles (really good), a big dish of greens (really garlicky) and two small bowls of soup (thats all Grace really wanted to eat)

We took half the noodles & greens back to David who had to use two swizzle sticks to eat with (no chopsticks in the room).
