Family Reunion...of s(h)orts

My folks (and Boit) came and went last week. Four days in Beijing, with me accompanying (and staying at the Red Wall Hotel with) them for three. Their tour package pretty much took us to the same places I went to in 2001, except maybe for the crystal and cloisonné factory (Point. Less.). We barely climbed the Badaling part of the Great Wall. Boit was bitching a lot about the tea ceremony, among other things.
Spent our whole free day in WangFuJing, where Ma got me a new shirt, jeans and winter clothes. Still need a new pair of gloves, though. They also brought me a bunch of stuff from back home, but my favorite is the CD of pics and videos of the kids.
They should be in Bejing by now. Hope they get me a digicam.
