Arrival in Beijing & H1N1

We made it to Beijing and met some other adopting families. The trip was tedious because we spent roughly 45 minutesgoing through the H1N1. They checked our temperatures and documented where we were going. It was a good thingthat we had a lot of documentation and be sure to not lose your travel ticket. I misplace my small stub and got in troublefor a few minutes. China is very through and check and recheck your documentation. We are planning to do two daysof visiting Beijing to aclimate to the jet lag/time zone. Currently we are unable to update the blogs directly. We think the are being blocked both ways in Beijing. So the updates will come in spurts. Beijing, feels just like SF but there is no drinkingwater. We ate at a local restaurant and there was no bottle water, drinking water, or tea.

That's it for now. Pictures will be added to the blog when I have access to it more freely

  2. Hi, glad you arrived safely -- tired, no less, but the adrenalin will carry you thru the first few days! Enjoy everything and don't forget to bargain for your goods -- should pay about 1/2-1/3 of what they ask for... unless you really really want it! :p
    Chris is doing fine here! :o) bev
