On the way back to the hotel from USA House last evening, we decided to take in the Beijing taxi cab experience, and see if four groups of students could make it back safely. Of course, everyone eventually did, although no group was dropped precisely where we instructed the cabbies to take us! The good news is that the students familiarized themselves in advance with the area around our hotel -- the extremely busy Wangfujing Shopping District -- and the other good news is that cabs are really inexpensive . . . about $2 for a 15-minute fare (now try getting that in NYC!). Photo is of our crew awaiting taxis.
