Wow! Beijing is an amazing place - and the Chinese way of life has many differences, some subtle - like eating earlier for lunch and dinner - and some not so subtle, like hocking up a king-sized loogie in the middle of the street like it was nothing - i swear, i hear that hCcccHHgggHHH-Phtoo!-sound fifty times a day!!!! Sharan and i have met up with our tour group now, who we will share many miles and activities with down to Hong kong - there are Danish, Swedish...

Hey, Sharan is just checking out of her hotel and we are about to move to our one somewhere else in exotic Beijing. So i have had about 2 hrs sleep since Tuesday morning which isn't helping shake this cold....the airport is amazing, just like a Chinese terminal 5....excepte here it's Terminal 3....the taxi drive was like a rollercoaster with the thrills, nearly knocking people off their scooters....the game is afoot.
