We Arrived!

We arrived safe and sound to Beijing! I was shocked about the amount of smog I saw just covering the city .like blanket as the plane landed. We were greeted by a tall Chinese man holding a sign with my name on it to take us to our hostel- fun!! China is not as overwhelming as I expected. Understanding some Japanese characters helps because they are the similar in China (although pronounced differently). don't have alot of internet access but will write when I can!
