Melanie and I went to the Black Eyed Peas concert last night. It was held in the Beijing Exhibition Theater, way the f on the west side of the city. The venue only holds between 2 and 3 thousand people, so I am not sure how thye made money on it. The show lasted about 1.5 hours, which is a bit short, but decent.

More pictures are here.

As my parents are coming this weekend (clean the house! dispose of the
“evidence”! disconnect the phone!), I decided it would be a nice gesture
for me to pick them up at the airport on Sunday morning. But, I needed
a car, as my motorbike certainly wouldn’t be able to fit three people
plus tons of luggage. Lucky for me, our office manager, Charles, has a
VIP card at an auto rental company new Guo Mao that happens to
specialize in SUVs. See the picture to the right, I have one of these
babies.
On another note, on the way to the rental lot, we stopped at the
Chaoyang District traffic police station to handle unpaid traffic
violations of someone else at the company (with great power). I must
say, I am BIG TIME impressed with Beijing’s traffic system - in terms of
fining those when people break the regulations. Beijing has a crap load
of camera around the city. I guess they have people looking at these
cameras 24 hours a day, because of the three unpaid violations, they had
video to prove it!!! Turning on a red turn light. Yep, we saw that in
color. Speeding? Yep, that one too! So, I am going to need to be
careful with the rental as it has blue (local peoples) plates - I am
fare game! [Note, with my motorcycle, I have black (foreigner) plates.
Never had an issue, except for that 5 RMB parking ticket I got two years
ago. And lets just say, I am no angle when it comes to following
traffic rules.]
