Beijing CHINA

Hello everyone.
I am in Beijing now. The hostel I am staying in is very nice and has a computer, which I am using now. The weather here is very overcast. It rains lightly every few hours which keeps the temperature to a livable level. Jen went for an hour run this morning and said after the run her lungs burned. Other than that I can't tell the air is more polluted than Boston. We had steamed dumplings today and lamb on a stick. We also bought fresh fruit at a local vender. Food is very cheap and we are learning how to kick butt at hagling prices down. We are about to head out for Indoor VolleyBall. Jen's friend got us tickets. For safety reasons I'll post the events we are seeing later.
Here are a few pictures. From the top: Olympics sign at Tiananmen Square. Common room at the hostel. Jen's bed and my bed in the back. Jen and I at the forbidden city. Jen again at the forbidden city.
