The flight was long (14 hours) and I arrived in Beijing at 2 p.m. on Wednesday (the time difference is 12 hours). So far I've visited the Forbidden City, seen a Chinese Acrobatics show, done some shopping, and went out for drinks on Sanlitun (a.k.a. bar street). Today I'm renting a bike to tool around the city. Beijing is a lot like New York -- lots of people and concrete, but it is very flat and distances are huge. Later I need to work out my China itinerary. I may head to the Great Wall tomorrow.
