So I'm developing a pretty good routine. Wake up at 6:30 am and workout. Shower, dress and then go to the Executive Lounge for a made-to-order omelette, fruit, and roasted potatoes. Read China Daily News, the official English-language newspaper of China. Get picked up around 9 am to go to work. Eat lunch at an amazing Beijing restaurant. In a private room no less! Return to office and work for a few more hours and then head out for afternoon sightseeing, dinner, and show. It's a great routine, but I'm very exhausted by the end of the day. Yesterday was no exception.
For sightseeing yesterday afternoon, we were on a mission to find a local UPS store, which we located in the Central Business District, known locally as "CBD". The UPS employees thought it was funny we wanted to take pictures by the signs, but graciously assisted. After our investigatory adventure success, I headed back to the hotel to drop off my brief case and get ready for dinner. Zhongcheng picked me up from the hotel and we dined on Hunan-style Chinese food, which is the closest to what you will find back in the states. We had stir-friend pork and also some beef and green peppers with rice. Following dinner, we went to a Chinese acrobat show. The performers danced, balanced, tumbled and bounded their way through hoops. Some of the more amazing tricks were the balancing act of nearly ten girls all on one bicycle and the three boys who all balanced on top of each other with the top person using only one hand! Very impressive. Tonight we will go to the Chinese opera. I'm very curious about what that will be like.
Only two days left until I leave! Can't believe how fast the time has passed.
