In Beijing

I made it to Beijing. It was a very long trip. It is Friday 4:05 am Eastern time, and I woke up at 2:30 am Thursday EST. But its 4:05 pm Beijing time so I've got an evening to deal with.

One of my checked bags did not make it to Beijing, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow and get sorted out. Beijing is very hazy and you can sort of smell the bad air. It is also very active, the traffic is horrible, the concept of "lanes" is a fuzzy one. You basically go where you want and then honk your horn. I was picked up by a girl named Helen who is learning English at a University here and does the airport pick ups to help her english, and some guy who drove us. So Helen and I talked and I explained a lot of English to her.

They took me to my apartment, which is pretty nice. I have 2 roommates. Andy is from Australia and James is from the UK. They have been here for about a week so they have more of a base than I do. They seem nice though.
I want to take a nap but I'm worried I will sleep for a long time and wake up in the middle of the night.
