Safe in Beijing
The group has arrived safely in Beijing. Despite being somewhat tired, we were not too tired to check out the food options near our hotel. Navigating the ordering process in Chinese at KFC and Ajisen Ramen--not bad for our first few hours in China.
Hopefully we will all be able to get a good night's sleep as tomorrow we leave bright and early for the Great Wall.

Hi Rushell,
Congrats, you've "Time Traveled!" Literally as well as culturally. You are now in the "Land of Chi'n; pay close attention to the differences in language (dialect) and culture as you fulfill your itinerary. Most notable.. Mandarin and Cantonese.HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!
