Temple of Heaven

Hello good people. So I am completely unprepared to blog at this moment. I pop into Beijing London, the bar/restaurant/internet cafe, unexpectately after spending a really good checking out the Temple of Heaven. Got some really good pictures as well. Yeah yeah I know you are sick of hearing that they are coming but they are. Anyway, pop in here without my notebook that I keep my blog posts in. So you can look forward to blogs about the BM that save my entire Beijing trip, my roommate, stale peanuts a cold Corona and a scorching Saturday break on Sulitan and Chinese Acrobats night. Fun stuff. Hopefully that has whet you appetite.

Today is an incredibly sunny day in Beijing. The weather manipulation that the government is doing is apparently working. Hugo, you guys should know Hugo from a prior post, found an detailing the governments efforts to change the weather. They've shot aluminun oxide cannistes in the atmosphere all in an effor to make it rain, and rain it does. Last Friday was torrential downpours for hours and then Sunday was gorgeous. Yesterday, Friday, it rained like crazy and today it is gorgeous. Not a speck of smog in the sky. Serious. I can see blue skies and sun. NO SMOG. That's unheard of for Beijing. Government is really working on making the Olympics blue skies so they are testing like crazy prior to the games. They will ban all cars or on the road for the two weeks of the Olympics. Can you imagine NYC doing that? I can't.

So of you have told me that you still can't see the video of the Forbidden City. If you go to youtude and search under Hugo Leitjens or Forbidden City you should see Hugo's video. It should be out there. I've seen it a couple of times. Didn't think to put the link in this blog either. My bad.

Until next time. Kong Wan Liang (my Chinese name) is outta here.
