So here it is, 5pm in the evening, and this is the sun out of my hotel window.
Hot, Humid, and not much to see! I am sure there are lots of sights, but I have only been in Beijing for 4 hours. I have heard on a good day, you can see the mountains, I saw the sun!
Last time I saw the sun like this was during the massive forest fire season when I lived in Colorado back in 2002, when there was a 68,000 acre fire about 30 miles south of where I worked. That should give a little perspective!

Wow...you are there! Is the air as bad as they say?
I want to know that as well...how is the air quality??
Yes, the air is as bad as they say! The word is that they shoot rockets up in the air causing it to rain and clear out the sky.
Coincidently, it is suppose to rain during the opening ceremonies! go figure
Are you having fun?
How are you gonna run the 1500 meters?
The most beautiful sunsets are in the most polluted areas. Enjoy! Looking forward to hearing abour your experience. NW sent me.
