First, Joe Wood has been pestering me (ok, asking) when i'd be posting pictures of our adventures. Strangely, i've not taken a single picture yet. All our travels in Nanjing have been thorougly captured in the past so i've not been swept into the mood. i know that will change in BeiJing though. Unfortunately, Window's XP here in the cafe doesn't have firefox or Picasa for me to upload through. Plus, all the menus ar in Mandarin characters, so i'm working from memory most of the time. So, pictures will need to be posted after our return.
If you've been following our ticket purchasing ordeal, i've a surprise. After being denied Plans A and B and settling on Plan C, Mia came home from here evening teahouse retreat with her friends with a surprise. One of her friends attested that plane fares from Nanjing to Beijing were only 400 yuan ($60) which is fairly resonable. Accordingly, i was politely nudged into accepting a new fate. (at least this way, we could arrive earlier and watch the Open Ceremony fireworks from her friends balcony). As it turns out, though, there was another 200 yuan tax/fee attached bringing each ticket to $90. So, after all the running around the last three days, at least i have a good story....or two.
This will be the last post until we return back to Nanjing next Tuesday. We'll take a few pictures and movies, though, to bore our friends at home.
