Oct 24 Friday Moving Day

Today was moving day. I was getting tired of living in the same place and having to walk 30 minutes when we couldn't get a taxi on campus, so when there was a little problem with the hotel being full, I said that we should move out.

We moved a few blocks away to the Jade Palace. We had stayed here the last time that we were in Beijing. It is large and luxurious, with more services.


Remember this view. If the pollution gets bad again, I'll take the same view so you can see the difference.

For lunch we went back to the mall

and had the Tappen (sp?) restaurant. Shades of Benni Hana!

The difference is that the guy just cooks, he doesn't do any tricks.

Then we went to the Military Museum. It is a little strange. Lots and lots of tanks and planes, all with signs saying made in China.
We enjoyed walking around the part that showed the ancient wars.

That night we hosted a big dinner for the students and the members of the faculty that had been so helpful to us. Of course, we were back at the campus hotel. It was the easiest for the students to get to.

I was dignified and didn't take pictures.
