first post from Beijing

Robina and I have just arrived in Beijing. now staying in Traders Hotel. we'r in the West Wing :-) and guess what: they have free broadband!

just changed config on iBook and voila! back in business oredi!

apparently it had not rained in Beijing for months and temperature here last week was very hot (abt 28C!). turns out that it started raining yesterday and now it's a cool 10C! Robina is demanding that she need to by thicker clothing (all our cold weather clothes are being shipped over). the next few days will be spent house hunting. been told that there are many apartment developments in Beijing, so got plenty to choose from :-)
