This is the first time that I've had access to internet. I'm in China safely and borrowed someone's connection. Everything has been going smoothly. My roommate arrives tonight and as soon as we set it up, I'll be able to post more then.
My air travel when off without a hitch. If anyone is planning on traveling internationally, it would definitely recommend flying Japan Airlines. I had 3 fabulous meals and two snack times. The meals included salad, entree, bread, and desert. I was so overjoyed when they served a big Nestle's ice cream sandwich for a snack. It brought me back to good memories from childhood. On my way to Japan, I was able to sit in a window seat with nobody next to me. The gentlemen on the aisle seat had never traveled internationally and couldn't believe the service.
The new Beijing International Airport is an architectural wonder. It was enormous, beautiful, and clean. I had no problem with customs and baggage as we were the only flight that had come in so late. I soon found out that several of the airport volunteers really couldn't help as they didn't know English. It is quite a challenge trying to communicate with the Chinese. They couldn't even tell me where the ATM machine was. Luckily I was able to find it so that I could pay my taxi fare.
