We had our medical exams today. The school coordinator drove us an hour to the Beijing International Travel Health Center, where we stood in line at reception, stood in line to pay, stood in line for blood tests, stood in line to have our blood pressure taken, stood in line for chest X-rays and stood in line for EKGs. I have to say, though, they must process an impressive number of people each week.
I also went to the bank to change money. After getting my number I left for an hour, came back and only had to wait one more hour until it was finally my turn. Everything takes longer than I plan for, but as I get more experience things should go more smoothly.
China Fun Fact: The 2008 Summer Olympics has five official mascots representing the Olympic flame and four of China's most popular animals: Beibei (fish), Jingjing (panda), Huanhuan (the flame), Yingying (Tibetan antelope) and Nini (swallow). Together, the names mean "Welcome to Beijing" (Beijing huanying ni).
