Not much to say now -- well, there could be plenty to say but I've been up and about for a couple of days solid (except for a few hours of "sleep" in the contorted positions demanded by economy-class seats), leaving me a bit less lucid than I normally like.

It was my first time through Beijing's updated international terminal. The last time I flew to Beijing was 2005, long before the 2008 Olympics which were, no doubt, the impetus to expand and modernize the terminal. The architecture soars overhead, somewhat like the National Theater (also known as "The Egg").

Early to bed tonight, after a walk around the neighborhood. It seems like ages since I've been able to walk somewhere without lugging heavy bags behind!

More tomorrow, after a good night's sleep.
