I'm Impressed

I can see the clock tower! The air feels much nicer now. And with the sacrifices Beijingers are making, it had better. You can now drive only on even days if your license plate number is even, odds if it's odd. My building has to cut 600 Kilowatts of electricity use, according to an email I got yesterday, and we'll be raising our thermostats accordingly.

Really, though, Beijing is coming through on their air quality promises. They've also done an impressively through job preparing for the Olympics, to the point of recruiting over a thousand volunteer blood doners to be on call during the games. They made sure to get plenty of Rh- donors, a difficult task since only 0.3% of the Han ethnic group is Rh-.

On a different note, XiaoLin's girlfriend is amazing!
We now return you to your regularly scheduled Epic Poem...
