Ted and I just wanted everyone to know that we will be out of touch for at least a day, as we are taking the night train to Qingdao in a few hours. We will be staying there for a few days (a few blocks away from the beach), where we will be sipping on Tsingtao straight from the source.
After that, we will be making the 20 hour train ride to Shanghai, where we will be staying for about a week before returning to Beijing on the 20th. We'll make sure to update regularly, and post a few pictures from the beach and the shopping mecca of Shanghai.
On a more serious note, Ted and I had a great meeting with the volunteers down at Friends of Old Beijing, which had been doing great grassroots advocacy for the preservation of the remaining hutongs in Beijing. If you have a second, you should check out their website so you can get an idea of the fantastic work and advocacy they have been doing in the Beijing community.
But, I'll have to talk about that later. Ted and I have a soft sleeper calling our name ...
