Today was a terrible day in Beijing. Someone told me the air pollution was more than 400 PPM, well beyond the limit of what is considered healthy. I kept my breath the whole day – world record!

At the end of the day I walk, as usually this week, to my favorite restaurant for dinner. This night I had the “famous” bean dish and a spicy beef dish. Both were quite tasty.

When I got back to the hotel it was like being a member of a small rock band. There were stage lights. And smoke. And not people 🙂
