No pictures :(

Well folks, we found an Internet cafe, but they don't allow people to plug in USB peripherals, so no pictures yet :(. We have been running a lot around so it's nice to have a free afternoon to relax and eat Peking Duck :).

We are really excited about tomorrow. The first event of the day is weightlifting (not handball as I have said in a previous post), which has been in the news here a lot, because China has been dominating. In the evening we are off to Qinhuangdao, where we will see China vs Japan in the women's football 1/4 finals. That should be an awesome game. Quack picked up a Chinese flag today so we will be all set for our "Zhongguo dui... jia you!"

Fortunately, we have been able to bring in our camera without any problems, but it turns out that my American flag is on the large side, and a guard stared at it for a couple of minutes today before allowing me to bring it in. I'm not sure why I keep bringing it around when the US isn't even playing :).

It rained today for the first time during our visit, which I think is pretty lucky given that the clouds have been hazy ever since we have arrived (well, part of that can be attributed to smog, of course). But we managed to duck into a Japanese noodle shop and mostly avoid the rain.

Well, hopefully we will get some pics up soon!
