H1N1

Short post today, headed to the Olympic Park in 10 minutes.

What's it like arriving in a country with 1/5 of the worlds population just one week before the swine flu? SARS completely caught China off guard a few years back, and this time around they're not taking any chances. Since we are from America where there have been the most reported cases we are seen as a potentially very dangerous group of individuals. Schools and entire villages are closing their doors to outsiders, and out itinerary is changing every day as a result. Luckily we arrived before the flu came to China so we're just as vulnerable as the locals are. Some people in the group have gotten sick in the last few days but it seems to be non related. Healthcare here is great so I'm not worried about anything happening.
