Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.

百闻不如一见。

L: Would you like to say something about today?

M: Today’s been a busy day. We woke up early around 6 AM, 7AM this morning to catch our flight to Beijing. We almost missed the flight. We almost missed check-in by two minutes because of the traffic to Hongqiao airport. But we were lucky we made it. So here we are in Beijing. We then tried to get some lunch, then to a restaurant to eat Beijing Kao Ya (roast duck). But there were too many people so we couldn’t even eat there. So again, another failure. So we ate at a Hong Kong restaurant. Finally we went to see a Camerata Salzburg concert, a symphony, absolutely wonderful music from Austria. Mozarts, very classical music, and many many thanks to Lily’s friend here Yinru, who also treated us to these tickets, so thank you very much for showing us a really good time in Beijing.

Happy Labor Day Holiday! 五一劳动节快乐！
