Half way: trick or treat?
Today marks the mid point of my stay in Beijing. My assignment is supposed to last 6 months and the first three months have passed so fast that it is hard to believe. Beijing and China is undergoing such a rapid transformation that everything seems to moves a little faster here, even time. There is an eclectic energy in the air that is very addictive: a country full of movers and shakers, full of opportunities and challenges, full of surprises, full of great people eager to learn and to explore, full of contrasts, full of opposites, full of dreamers, full of hopes… you get the picture. I had the opportunity to travel a little and see some amazing places but at the end the most memorable experiences will be the ones where I connected (successfully or otherwise) with the local people. I took as much pictures as I could but still the experiences are best shared in stories. So expect some more stories to be posted on this blog for the remaining three months. My treat.

Paul: Catching up with you. Thanks for finding our dream tandem. Do you think you purchase it and send it to us. I'm sure Sam would be will to let us use his Fed-Ex account. :) That bike was a hoot! Still very nice weather here and we're riding. Linda and I are heading to the Smokey's this weekend to some hiking in the Fall colors.
