Yesterday, we had our medical exams by Chinese doctors. They drew blood, checked our blood pressure, did a ECT scan (I think that's what it's called), and finally a chest x-ray. After some time in our classrooms, we sat down and listened to the Chinese Program's Principal talk about the culture we are lucky enough to live within. This was followed by 4 stations in which we did Tai Chi, Chinese writing, had a lesson in the language, and had some tea. Really neat.
Dinner time was a traditional Chinese Dinner.... A ton of great food, of which I knew little of what I was eating... Most of it was really good though...
Our dinner was followed by a bus tour to The Water Cube and The Bird's Nest... Someone had some pull because we were able to drive only where a few people are allowed... These structures are truly amazing things to behold... And all the people and security around the vicinity makes me think that it is truly a miracle that this is pulled off...
We also drove by a 7 star hotel that boasts the largest tv screen in the world.

Does the TV do any justice to the Olympic Facility?
Will Ping Pong compete with the UFC?
Keep in touch and can't wait to see photos.
Did you get the Seek & Destroy CD before you left?
