October 18

Today, was our first official day as American Tourists in China. We started out the day with a nice breakfast and met up with Ross and Michael from our agency. From there, Michael Li, took us to a Western-style supermarket to get some extra things we might need in Beijing. After lunch, we met up with another guide, Bing, who took us to the Pearl Market and the Toy Market. This was an interesting experiece. Beijing seems to run at an amazing pace. The traffic is wild. Then we ended up our day with "The American Style" pizza at Pizza Hut. Yes, we travelled all the way to China and ended up eating at Pizza Hut.....
