You guys are awesome.

I think we'll be OK without a phone. Hasn't been an issue in our past travels. Let me know if I'm missing something here.

I'm open to OTBP suggestions.

Chaoyang didn't look that big on Google Maps... we're at the St Regis.

Peking duck is definitely on the to-do list, we were thinking of doing it as Thanksgiving on Thurs. Can you recommend any restaurants for northern homestyle cooking or dumplings? I love (the undoubtedly Americanized) dumplings in the states.

Can you suggest an acrobat or kung fu show?
Any Chinese movies out about stealing things? Treasure, vehicles, political offices etc. Oddly that's our favorite category of movies.

Turns out my companion's flight is at 1600, so we'll get there by 1400 and I'll hang out in the Air China lounge.

Noted regarding the museums.
Booked the Thursday Ming Tombs/Mutianyu tour with CCC.
