Of all the places, I had the opportunity to see the Harlem Globetrotters in China. Out of the many firsts I’ve had here, this will be one of the more memorable ones.

The only Burger King in Beijing is at the airport. One of our friends had to go pick someone up at the airport, so that only meant one thing…WHOPPER PARTY!! Fries, however, were provided by McDonald’s, which is abundant here. Fun!

The handiest information I thought was the TV schedule so that you would always be able to watch the Olympics. Here it is: CNBC: Midnight – 4:30A USA: 2:00A – 12:00P [...]
