Hello Everyone!

I’ve been quite 忙 (busy) the past couple of days as my 父母 (parents) are here in Beijing and I want to 陪 (accompany) them while they 参观 (go sightseeing).  So far we’ve seen some of the less 经典 (classic) sights, places such as the 赛艇场馆 (rowing venue), but we also saw the 鸟巢 (bird’s nest) and 水立方 (water cube).  However, we did manage to eat some 北京烤鸭 (Peking duck) as well as see a performance by a 杂技团 (acrobatics troupe).  Updates to follow!
