First time for everything...

12:15 am on a Beijing highway...
every muscle in Leigh's body tensed and braced for impact...
a hyundai elantra with no seatbelts...
160km/hr...
Jarret asks a taxi driver to slow down for the first time in his life!

Since our intense drive in to the city, Beijing has been great. The shopping here is the best yet, and once again a modern, fast, cheap and extensive metro has made getting around a piece of cake. With so much shopping, and loads of sights to see, we have already extended our stay here by three days!

Quick tip for those coming to Beijing - like Shanghai, the airport is a ways out of the city. If coming in late at night, factor another 30 minutes or so onto your arrival time from the aiport.
