Flying in this morning, the Beijing skyline left much to be desired. It was covered by a thick smog that could not even be captured on camera. Evidently they are closing all industry in the lead up of the Beijing Olympics because the athletes don't want to compete in such unhealthy conditions. Anyone know if this has begun yet? I hope not.

Dear Nomad... yes Beijing can be a shmock to the system, amazing when it has recently rained though. Am very jealous of your trip! Will be following admirably. Having recently returned from 2 years of solo travel to many similar destinations I'm finding your blog a breath of fresh air. There's a Guiness waiting for you in Dublin if your heading this way...
