Interesting Beijing facts of the day: there are 13 million people, 3.5 million cars, 10 million bicycles. Motorbikes are not allowed in the city. Traffic is so intense here and such crazy driving, but I only saw one accident.

Of course we had to make a pit stop at a jade factory. After much negogiation we picked up two pieces.

We went to an Opera tonight also. Food included, yuck. First bad meal this entire trip.
