Update from Beijing
BEIJING (PEKING), CHINA: Internet access is ungodly expensive here in Beijing, largely due to the communists' dislike of the internet as a subversive medium. The visit has been enjoyable so far, including another visit to the Great Wall (this time it was as crowded as a sidewalk in Times Square) and a trip up to the Summer Palace. The pollution has been unbearable; I almost cannot describe the burning of the eyes and shortness of breath experienced by several of our group members. The haze is so bad that one wakes up, looks out to the horizon, and thinks it is going to rain; then he looks up and sees blue sky above. .
