到达了北京!

Ominous Clouds

On the third attempt to land in a Beijing thunderstorm, our pilot aborted a few hundred feet from the runway straight up into a bucking bronco of turbulence that conducted the entire shrill-voiced female population of the back of the plane into a peircing aria. After my ears regained consciousness, I found that we'd flown 10 minutes and landed in Tianjin, where we spent the next 3 hours or so refueling and figuring out what to do. Finally I'm in my hotel room, I'm not too ashamed of the price I paid for cab fare, and I haven't spoken more than a word or two of English since I arrived! Hooray!
Thanks for all the help from my friends and family, especially Ben and Glaser for you're help with my schlepping this morning. I love you all,
Matt
