Day 2 - Tuesday 29th July - Chinese Cloud Busting!

Picture above: The Olympic venues stand out but so does the skyline after many days of smog!
Picture above: Brian Li and Ivan Lin on wash up duty but without running water! Not a problem a challenge!

After a night of rain and continued reports of 'smog' in the sky I awoke this morning to see the city of Beijing! And what a city! Rumor has it officials from the Chinese Environmental dept were 'cloud busting' all night and it worked! The Chinese have thought of everything and the games are most definitely on! From a privileged view in the 7 star Pangu hotel (where we have 3 Alumni students working; Nancy, Joe and Joe) the 'Birds Nest' Stadium and Aquatics center clearly stand out.

The House of Switzerland (HoS) is still in full swing for the opening at the end of the week and over the next few days I'll be posting unflattering pictures of all IMI's hardworking students plus pictures of the HoS which is impressive and Switzerland at its best!

Thank you for posting your comments, I will try to respond to as many as I can. Please do not send me your shopping lists I'm already a prime target for customs! Before I sign off for tonight (we are 6 hours ahead by the way) I must ask our English students back at IMI to be gentle on my spelling, any yoou fund r on porpoise! Don't forget our TV poll just to the right of this post. Talk to you tomorrow, off for more bedtime noodles, its the Beijing thing to do!
