Last Day at the USA House in Beijing

Today has been a bittersweet day at the USA House. I watched the extinguishing of the flame at the Closing Ceremonies and said my goodbye's to my new friends at the House. It was a painfully slow night at the store. Most people were partying and not really shopping.

The night shift crew went for a foot massage after work. I had one earlier this week. It really saved my feet. I'm definitely going to miss them.

Even though I'm officially finished with my job here in Beijing, I still have much to blog. Stay tuned. When things settle down at home in San Jose, I'll post more of my adventures in Beijing.
