Finally we decide to take the trek into town and explore Beijing. It takes approximately 45 minutes to get to Tiananman Square which is much better than I anticipated.
First off, as expected its sweltering hot in the subway cars but no Chinese are perspiring. Except for one. This young woman had a few beads of sweat on her forehead and both Nisse and I are relieved that SOMEONE is like us. All of a sudden she is crouching in the middle of the subway hurling into a CLEAR plastic bag - the evidence is very visible. Chunky and very visible. Yeah so she's not like us; she's ill and probably infecting the rest of us with her airborne sickness. We were standing right beside her and were not getting off for another 10 minutes.
