Last Sunday we went out for dinner to one of my favorite Sichuan food restaurants, sadly they were closed for renovations. I got to see the Chinese Premier’s motorcade as he returned from the trilateral meeting in tokyo. They closed off a long part of one of the ring roads just for it. We ended up going to a restaurant that had similar food, it was still very nice food and I ate until my tongue went numb from too much spice. That also marked the same day I arrived in China, Making it now the beginning of my second year in china.

I have also added a map to my Cycling Journal to show where i have been on my bike in Beijing.
