Getting Around Beijing

The other day, I had a dentist's appointment on an even day, but the car we had had an odd number license plate, which meant that I couldn't go into town with the car. (China has started an odd-even license plate rotation to cut down on pollution.) So this meant that I had to use public transportation, which I did. Since I had a couple of hours, some money, and a camera, I decided to snap some pictures with my dad and pick up some Olympic tickets for my aunt and cousins.

My Life in Beijing

Hi, I'm David and I have been living in Beijing, China for a year and a half. I'm 12 years old and am going into the 8th grade this year. I have a brother, Jonathan, who is 15 and is going into the 11th grade this year. I go to an international school in the outskirts of Beijing. I like to play tennis and baseball and games on the computer.
