Today we saw giant pandas, lesser pandas and Asian elephants. Saw a toddler wearing split pants with his little buns showing. (This allows an adult to hold him over a garbage can to pee.) One of our taxi drivers sang with the radio. We visited the memorial of one of China's most famous writers, Lao She Jinianguin. We also saw a performance of a national acrobatic group. Acrobats are like fireworks - fabulous!
We got a taxi right away and credit Vanessa's black and white striped shirt. We think the language problem works in our favor. We pile in the taxi and then hand the driver the card for our hotel. He doesn't have a good chance to tell us he doesn't want to go there.
We've had some blue sky for the last 3 days - nice. Tomorrow we travel to Xi'an (say she-an). We are ready to leave Beijing.
Today is Friday the 13th - just noticed that.
