It was a nicer day in Beijing today after a few days of gray skies and some rain. I went to Tiananmen Square in the afternoon to see the preparations for tomorrow’s torch welcome ceremony. There haven’t been many details published on the official website about the ceremony. The chairs were all laid out and security was very tight. The whole area was totally blocked off.

I believe the ceremony kicks off at around 10:00 - 10:30 a.m. I hoping to make it, but I wonder how close I will actually be able get to the action. I think they forgot my name on the guest list.
