Arrival in Beijing

Nothing too exciting to report about this -- which is a great thing!

Everything went smoothly, from the rainy departure from Uijeongbu to catch the bus at 5:30am (thanks to Rachel -- yes, that's Rachel David at 5:30am!) to the flight to Beijing and the check-in at the hotel. :-)

We had to give up our bug spray for the flight though which sucks. Stoopid aerosol.

We were nervous about the cab ride too, as we've heard many shady Chinese cab stories. All was great! It was cheaper than expected and an interesting ride all in all.

We about to head out to check out the town now before hooking up with our tour group this evening. And to top it all off, we're hoping to squeeze in a visit with our cousin Pheng before the day is out!

Ok, hope to write soon, but now is when it gets tougher.

Cheers!
