NOTES FROM CHINA: START IN BEIJING

BEIJING, July 18-- The trip is off to a good start after some delays. On the day after our arrival, two British students, part of the larger group, were quarantined because the Chinese said they showed symptoms of "swine flu." Nurses took our temperatures every time we left the dorm building.....Some websites are blocked here, including Facebook, Youtube, and-- my blog!
(later) Memphis kids had the last act in the ceremonies tonight and got the crowd on their feet, dancing the "Cupid Shuffle." It was great! The ceremonies were fantastic, with dancing dragons, fireworks, and other groups performing. Really good and lots of fun.
