  3. Nothing has changed, subway was 30 -40 minutes, not a terrible ride, but if crowded then not so pleasant, bus would be longer than subway
  4. If by FC, you mean the Forbidden City, you're right. It's not like they are right next to each other. However, the Olympic Village the the Forbidden City are all in the same general area, and easy to get to. "same general area" well our hotel was very near the old Beijing Railway Station, when we got on the subway to TM Square it took about 10-15 minutes going west, as you know FC is across the street from TM Square. When we went to Birds Nest the subway ride was 30 -40 minutes, to the north, TM Square is to the west, so I only write this to discern the definition of "near" they are not near to me but to someone else maybe could be...

  8. Going over on July 4th, excerpts from the DOS doesn't sound like fun. We have reports of passengers arriving from areas where outbreaks have occurred (including the U.S. and Mexico) being placed in precautionary quarantine simply because they registered slightly elevated temperatures. In some instances, children have been separated from their parents because either the parent or the child tested positive for 2009-H1N1 and was placed in quarantine for treatment. This situation presents the possibility of Chinese medical personnel administering medications to minors without first having consulted their parents. The Department of State has received reports about unsuitable quarantine conditions, including the unavailability of suitable drinking water and food, unsanitary conditions, and the inability to communicate with others The Chinese government will not compensate people for lost travel expenses. Travelers to China are urged to consider purchasing travel insurance to protect against losses in the event they are quarantined.
