Last Beijing Day for....Awhile Oh, Molly, good choices for your last day in Beijing for...awhile. And you trek amid the hutongs alone, as has been your usual custom. Yes, you'll take away good memories of "your" Beijing from the Summer of 2008. BUT...can hardly wait til you're back HERE, on Spencer Creek Road!!!! :) Mom
nido "nido" is what they call the birdsnest in spanish. one of my students asked me about it. he thought it was just a clever mexican reporter being inventive during his report.
you know what i miss? i miss the schwar and beer. i would kill a lamb myself if there was greasy spicy shwar, big cold bottles of chinese beer and wife and brother-and-law at the end of said bloody event.
and wouldn´t you know, i miss that accursed heat.
sigh...now i´m hungry.

Green Sludge Here in kiwiland, where there are approximately 8 medal hopefuls, everyone is talking about the green algae/sludge stuff in the sailing/rowing harbour (where the kiwis hope to win about 6 of those medals.) Is there any news from your way about that phemonenon?
summer of ... I picked that book up sometime in late hs or college at my cousins new house- it was on the curb for disposal from the old owners. Enjoyed it much. Not as much as the Poisonwood Bible.
Damned if you drink, damned if you don't. At least your liver is healthier.
Hi there If it is the atmosphere that will prevail, let me tell you that the Mexican athletes (???) have a little advantage, the polution is similar in México, ja ja ja...I'am sorry is just a joke.

smog yes, well, even though they shut everythng down here, doesn't mean the factories in surrounding industrial cities have been shut down. been a nice breeze from the south recently, which i assume is blowing it in from tianjin and shanghai and everywhere else that's NOT beijing. VERY curious to see how it plays out.
Ewwwwwww Dude, that picture is scary! Seriously, what are we getting our athletes into. I thought they were shutting down all the factories for the Olympics?
