OOf, boring, Beijing is like Houston, it goes on forever. And the city kind of sucks, it’s not China enough to be China and it’s not western enough to be Shanghai. Plus there are a lot of diplomats, journalists and other unsavory types in the foreign population there. And it’s a stinking lie Beijing speaks the most standard Mandarin, they sound like they have marbles in their mouths. It’s a desert climate, hope you enjoy dry windy cold winters.
