I especially enjoyed this episode. Just did not like the ending. Would have been good to see Jaime and Cara finally win a stage.

I lived in Beijing in 97-98 and met my wife during that time so Beijing is a special place for us. We now live in Australia however have been back several times. The last time was during the Olympics. Was lucky enough to get our Beijing flights on frequent flyer points.

It was a laugh watching everyone trying to either jump off the spring board or swim. I am a reasonable swimmer so I was amazed at how bad they were.

It was nice seeing the Drum Tower again. My wife grew up just 300 yards down the road from there. I took my daughter up there just before the Olympics. Sadly it was exactly one week before the father-in-law of the USA volleyball coach was murdered there.

Anyway it was an entertaining episode, a bit tense at times, but still good fun.

After seeing Guilin I really want to visit there. I am thinking next time to get flights to Beijing and then catch a train down to Guilin.
