A Great Day

The government censors must have read my notes about the horrible air yesterday. Today we woke to beautiful blue skies. They must have sucked up all the pollution and sent it packing for Seattle.

I also got my Chinese name today --- Ma Tian Wei --- sounds a bit like Martin Way. It means Strong Sky Horse.

Please address me accordingly when I return.

As always the hotel had sent a shuttle to pick us up from the office. At most we have 15 to 20 people for the ride, but we always get the giant bus. I am constantly amazed at how the driver can whip a U Turn with this thing in the middle of Beijing rush hour.

We also got to see a good old traffic brawl on the way home --- some slight fender bender that led to a major confrontation between the two drivers and their girlfriends. Sorry I did not get any photos!
