Last Day, Last Post from China

I've not been able to keep up with this as I had hoped, but you hopefully get a bit of the taste of China.

Some highpoints:

• Dinner with the group. Food not as strange as Monday night, but still new
• The flag ceremony at Tianamen square.
• Strange lights floating in the air.
• Shopping and bargaining on Silk Street
• Chinese 'Hot Pot' meal
• Smog beyond belief

In about 30 minutes (13:00 Beijing time) I leave for the airport. It's Friday here ans 13:00 Beijing time is 1:00 Friday morning in Durham. I'll be home about 10:00 Friday night Durham time. You do the math.

I'll see you on the other side of the Pacific....from where I am now.
