(Chuck at ShunYi Hotel)

Getting ready to head out to eat and watch the opening ceremonies. Downtown Beijing was basically closed today. Tian'anmen Square was closed for a while for a State dinner for President Bush. We had a short day at the venue. Not many folks training, they were getting ready for opening ceremonies.

(My room at hotel)

No, the photos aren't too light....that's the smog at 9am. We hardly ever see the sun, just a light haze everywhere.

(Entrance to ShunYi Hotel)

Soldiers guard the entrance to the hotel. They salute when we drive past.
