A couple of early thoughts.

1) Merry Christmas everyone –  It’s a little funny that we’re well into Xmas morning and some of you guys are still getting a few last minute gifts in at 4pm Xmas eve.  

2) No WordPress access in China? – So I have an alternate spot set up for this blog, but am having trouble getting to the Wrodpress admin page.  Very odd.  Is WordPress blocked in China?  

3) Beijing is gigantic – My first impression of Beijing was totally wrong, in that I did not understand how humongous it was.  I’ll write volumes on this shortly.  But think of the biggest most spread out city you’ve ever seen, and add 30 story buildings everywhere.

We’re headed out the Great Wall now and I’m getting hurried out the door.  More later.  Merry Xmas.
