In a few days I’m leaving for Beijing for the International Alliance of Women in Music Biennial Congress. Actually, my wife’s going to the conference. I’m just tagging along in a spousal capacity. (It’s not like she hasn’t been to enough software conferences over the years.) I’m not sure what sort of Internet access I’ll have over there. I know that IBiblio, where Cafe au Lait and Cafe con Leche are hosted, is routinely blocked by the great firewall of China. For all I know, this site is too.
While we have some sightseeing planned, I will have quite a few days to kill while Beth attends the conference. I have my Chinese field guide, and I’m trying to make reservations for at least one day with a local guide. Otherwise, if anyone would care to make suggestions about local sites or birding, please leave a comment. However I probably won’t be able to make overnight trips away from the capital, so that limits me quite a bit.
