What's Wrong With This Picture?


We have previously mentioned that occupancy rates at international hotels in Beijing have been much lower than expected. Well, in case you don't always believe what you read in the papers, here is some first-hand evidence of that. This is a partial seating map for our flight to Beijing. Anything look bizarre for a direct flight right around the start of the Games? You got it -- a lot of empty seats!

On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't be complaining. This way we can expect to arrive in Beijing, take a lovely stroll down Wangfujing, take a deep breath of clean air, and take a lovely uncrowded train to the Olympic stadium. Sounds like a dream... one dream, that is!
