Beijing

Cameron and I left for Beijing at 3:30. We picked Todd up on a street corner, buying a beer, by Yashow Market. He arrived in Beijing from Harbin today. We went to Big Smoke for dinner. It was delicious.

We ran into April Gourmet, which is a grocery store, to see if they had bags of ice for the cooler. As I was walking around I saw salads that looked pretty good. I decided to buy one for tomorrow. We paid and walked out to the van. Someone parked their cart literally next to the van. In the middle of the street. Todd could barely get in the van. The funny part was it had a lock through the wheel so no one could take it. As I was getting my camera a parking attendant moved the cart back a ways. The picture isn't as funny as it could have been.
It was parked up by Todd's door.  He could barely get in.

On our way to the hotel we dropped Todd of at The Kro so he could get a couple calzones for lunch tomorrow. Cameron and I went to the room with all our stuff. As we were waiting for Todd I got a text from him saying Kevin and the kids were at the Kro. Kevin is one of our friends from TEDA. They were waiting for Heather to get in from the airport. He told Todd they would be in the lounge later.

About 15 minutes later Todd came in the room. Cameron had showered and was extremely comfy in the big bed. We were watching a show on tv. We got Cameron's couch ready and got him situated.

We went to the lounge. Kevin and the kids were there along with 2 guys he met from Australia. We were talking with them when Ileana and Fredy arrived. We hung out for about an hour then went back to the room at 10:15. Off to bed. 

Kevin, Hannah, and Todd in the lounge.

Hannah warmed up to Todd very quickly.  She thought he was funny.
