Day 1 in China

Just wrote a few sentences and then promptly lost it!

5am in Beijing...3 pm in Denver. I slept a solid 7 hours,
disturbed only by occasional turbulence from which I fell right back asleep .
Watched The Flowers of War about the 1937 Japanese invasion of Nanking. Perhaps not the best cultural introduction, buy certainly explains good reason for some cultural animosity over the years!

Now I just need to clear customs and make my way to a cab and with my yellow instruction paper, get to the hotel.


Quietist airport i have experienced. Huge and dome like. Of course i got in the slowest line. ... I said "gracias" to someone
in the airport
It took three money machines to figure out the system and which one takes my card and THEN I didn't get enough money even for the taxi to the hotel which is an hour way!!!! He takes $$ too.

It is misty...and I could be driving in northern California for the freeways and the trees...
Busy downtown...driver says that the traffic is good at this early. McDonalds...bikes ( no helmutz)
Lt hour
