After a 12 hour flight delay, I arrived in Beijing where I had arranged to meet up with some of the other symposium participants. Next morning I found Ilona and Paul at breakfast and we headed out for a bit of sight-seeing. Paul took us to the 798 Art District, a block of 50-year-old decommissioned military factory buildings that have been converted into galleries and artists' studios. In the afternoon we did the tourist thing, avoiding the crowds at the Forbidden City and opting for the smaller Prince Gong's Palace.
