First day: May 22


"In Beijing now. I'm not in Kansas anymore! Already made a friend--Terre, another EF
teacher; she's a black woman from New York City and has lived in Japan,
Thailand, France, and used to be a model. (See the photo. The other woman is Jackie, a teacher from Ireland.) We're exploring the area around our hotel now. Only access to internet right now is this Western-style hotel (our hotel is NOT Western-style).

Cannot get on Facebook until I'm able to use my own PC--maybe a couple of weeks.

Weather is like Charlotte now--hot and humid. Pollution similar to Charlotte.
Have been on streets for hours and no one is staring! Also,not nearly as
crowded as everyone says. People exaggerate the differences. This will be a
fascinating experience."
