Well its finally here, the Olympics! I will be hiding in Shunyi though for the duration because not only is Beijing with more people an unappealing prospect, but Chinese security scares me to death.
And I have to mention that I was outside for about an hour this morning buying muffins and tea :) and the smog was ridiculous. You could see about less than half a mile down the road at all times. No joke kids. The pollution is crazy.
Other than that I haven't been up to much this last week. Alot of the foster families went on vacation, or "get out of Beijing while the Olympics are here" trip. And because of that school is effectively over, so I have had no English classes. On top of that we have not been able to go to the Children's Homes because... well... that needs to be explained in person. Its sensitive material.
Anyway, 4 days and counting until I return to the United States. I'm excited. :D
