Meeting in Beijing
I actually arrived at the Haoyuan Hotel on Sunday before Ted did, so I went out for a walk and found him napping when I got back. For the first couple days he has been here, it’s been raining, which meant that mercifully the heat has let up.
Pace-wise, we haven’t been pushing ourselves as hard as I did as the hostel. On Sunday we went to bed early; Monday (yesterday) we took an exploratory walk through some hutongs north of Tiananmen, browsed the foreign language bookstore on Wangfujing for history and econ books, lunched at the China food court in the Dong’an Mall, and met Katie Beth and her father for dinner at Tian Wai Tian, the duck restaurant I frequented as a summer student at the Normal University. I’ll have pictures of this uploaded as soon as technically possible.
I’ve been instructed to write more stories on this weblog, but I forgot to ask how. Until I figure this out, and likely even after that point, the best stories can be found on Katie Beth’s xanga.
