CHINA – DAXING

It’s a little difficult to blog here….the editing stuff is in Chinese, yikes! Well I’ve made it this far, hopefully these posts aren’t translated into Chinese for you all…

Our travel day was quite smooth with our personal security and special entrance into SFO, we felt very high profile. We started off the morning reading our boxes of fortune cookies from Kelly Gross (very creative). We had some GREAT fortunes…some of my favorites….

- You will be upgraded to first class
- Speedo will offer you a million dollar contract
- You will hear USA cheers around the world
- You will be on the cover of a Wheaties box
- You will win the gold medal

Still waiting for these to happen, but so far our futures look bright!

When we arrived in the new Beijing terminal, we of course were looking awake and beautiful. So we were thrilled to be interviewed upon exiting the plane, but it was very cool to see how interested the Chinese were in hearing what we thought of the new terminal, the travel, the country, the Olympics in general....We quickly made it through customs and we didn’t have to wait long to get on our bus and head to Daxing where we will be training for a few days with the Dutch.
