Arrived in Beijing after a 12 hour flight. Such an odd feeling to follow the earth and have light for such an extended time. It's a science thing! Several international flights arrived at the same time, so it was pretty slow through customs and immigration.
We connected with the entire delegation and traveled to our hotel by bus. The traffic was pretty unbelievable. Our guide siaid there are 4 million cars in Beijing and that Chinese have a nickname for drivers in China - "organ donors" Suffice it to say I would not be interested in driving around here.
