So today I'm on my own and it's been pretty uninspiring! In a sudden twist of fate, Rita has been whisked away by a great opportunity leaving me to fend for myself during the day this week. A news team from her hometown in Asturias, Spain was scheduled to arrive in china today and interview people from there that live in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Hangzhou. Over the weekend we found out the host/anchorwoman who was supposed to come had become seriously ill! Without enough time to secure a journalist visa for someone else, Rita was tapped to take over! So all this week she will be with the camera man interviewing and taping all over the city and then this weekend she hours to Tianjin and then flies to Shanghai and Hangzhou until next Friday! Crazy! Anyway, so that's why I'm on my own now :)
This morning I woke up early feeling not too hot. I think I jumped into the Chinese food and chuanr a bit overzealously and premature yesterday, but I couldn't help it! With the oiliness and spiciness of the foods here it can take a few days to get adjusted and you really shouldn't gave chuanr until then, but I couldn't wait! Anyway, I biked over to SanLiTun to have a nice, normal, boring sandwich and read a bit and maybe I'll hear from Rita soon :)
With today's down time methinks tomorrow I will be up for a full itinerary!

Robin always thinks I'm exaggerating when I try to explain how oily and spicy everything was in Beijing. And how happy I was to go to my first dumpling house after not really being able to eat much for days!
