Bill, Elizabeth, Art, Kathy and I arrived at Beijing airport at about 9:15pm local time. For those of you back home subtract 12 hours. But, The taxi off the vast expanse of runways took another 30 minutes. Then we wait in line at China Border Control.
We the met our translator Brett, after picking up luggage and changing some money to local currency. Brett drove us back to the Hui Yuan Apartments in a stick shift minivan. I don't think he made it past 3rd gear. He's a nice guy, though.
We met with Louis, Isaac and David in the 3 bedroom apartment ont the 14th floor we are renting. Art, Kathy and Kathleen met with Karen, Vicki and Sandi in another suite 3 floors down. While they crashed early, Louis, Bill, Isaac, Brett, David and I headed over to the Noodle Shop that is open late and had several awesome spicy dishes and some good local beer. Then back to the apartment to rest up for tomorrow.
