Our flight out of Ottawa on Sunday, April 27th was very early in the morning - so early, in fact, that the students felt that the safest way to ensure that they didn't miss the plane was to stay awake together all night at the school. Despite this (or because of this!), everyone showed up extra early, rarin' to go.
We first flew to Vancouver, a 5-hour flight. We stayed there for two hours, which gave us a chance to stretch before boarding the long 12-hour flight to Beijing. We left Vancouver in early afternoon, on Sunday and arrived in Beijing in mid-afternoon on Monday, thanks to the fact that we crossed the International Date Line on the way. It was a long flight (even longer for the smokers in the group!), but it went smoothly and we were so excited to finally be in China The first thing that amazed us was the airport itself - it had just opened in preparation for the Olympics, and was as close to beautiful as an airport can be.
