Finally moved into my apartment. Many of the teachers went to a Mexican restaurant in Sanlitun for dinner tonight. I would have got too but I got a late start leaving school and it took awhile for me to get into my apartment. There are 5 or 6 towers in the apartment complex. It's called World View, apparently Beijing is the world. Alternatively the complex is called Cando or Kandu. Here is a picture taken from the school.
I guess I was disoriented at first because I went to the tower next to mine by mistake. I didn't know it, of course, until my apartment wasn't in the place it was supposed to be. Hey, Beijing's a big city. Bill tells me that his European friends say it's as big as the entire country of Belgium!
DIRT. I might say dust, but it's all dirt. My apartment floors and most surfaces are covered with dirt. There are 6 windows that were left open for long enough to let a lot of dirt filter through the screens. I'll have to clean tomorrow but am too tired to think about it. The effects of jet lag, getting up early every morning to ride with Bill or catch a cab, and getting used to new job finally caught up with me. I'm just going to throw some sheets on the bed and got some sleep.
