Peking - Paris - Before the start
We arrived safely in Beijing yesterday getting ready (overcoming jetlag, that is...) for the big day on Sunday. Today we got our first experience of chinese requirements: we were given plastic car number plate and driving license, both valid for a week. I enclose 3 pictures. We will get our cars on Saturday and I hope to send you more pictures.
