Okay, sure, so I can't exactly drink the tap water here without boiling it, nor can I cross the road in Beijing without being intensely vigilant lest I'll get squished like a bug. But say what you want about all the downsides of living here, as of now I'm absolutely convinced that the best Apple Store you can find on the entire globe is just a short subway ride away from my current abode.
I was told on Monday that my laptop might be fixed in a week, maybe; on Friday, I received a phone call informing me that it was all set for me to pick up. I'm telling you, they are absolutely miracle-workers over there.
Now finally, I can continue reporting on the Silk Road Trip from where I left off; the photos of my bike ride around the City Wall of Xian which I promised but haven't been able to post until now.

There's more posts on the way!
