Day 1 from Beijing

We arrived safe and sound in Beijing with all our luggage. It is 8:00 pm and jet lag is setting soon after an adventurous dinner on a revolving table with dead chicken heads.

Now some first impressions from three of our students:

Aloni.......feels tired and is looking forward to seeing the "Water Cube"

Roarke.....is "looking forward to having a latte at the Starbucks downstairs from the hotel."

David......really likes the hotel and thought it was interesting that the AC units on the condos are on the outside...and not the inside.

Mr. Cosgrove hopes that dinner tomorrow will not contain quite so many dead animal faces staring up at him (and he too is looking forward to checking out the Starbucks downstairs ;-)

Until tomorrow friends or mingtian dian!!

Hello World Explorers,
Stay safe and send us lots of pictures. We are having our own Olympics here with our star-studded cross country, volleyball and cheerleading teams. Cushman rules!
