I think these two pictures really give a pretty accurate impression of Beijing over the last few days. Two days ago, it was so dark outside our classroom that it seemed like night, and on my daily trip to the bakery on XinJieKouWai next to our classroom building I found myself running through some of the biggest puddles I'd ever seen...vast pools of water everywhere on the ground that were completely unavoidable.
Since I wasn't catching a flight or taking the 6th Ring Road or JingCheng expressway (in fact, our bus came back from the Great Wall more or less on the very routes that were closed two days ago), I was able to appreciate the weather much more than those trying to catch a flight out of 首都机场 （ShouDuJiChang-Capital Airport).
Actually, I love the rain. It gives the neighborhood a European feel and afterward the rain the sun actually comes out thanks to an unusually (and almost painfully) clear sky. Feels almost like California.
More pictures coming soon!
