Eric's Beijing Diary

Took the Line 10 subway to Jinsong this evening to check out the place where James lives. It's a long ride, but much less than it would have been before the Olympics, when Line 10 built. Takes about an hour to get from where James lives to the Subway station at Zhichunlu, near the South Gate of my university. That's long, but Fragrant Hills is not exactly close. Right now, I would say it's a toss up. The room that James has for me is more comfortable, but the little hole in the wall in Fragrant Hills is a stone's throw from the West Gate of the Botanical gardens.
