"Please get ready for your arrival!"
Whenever I touch down at Beijing Airport, I feel just a tad safer -- knowing that this is Home Turf for me. When I'm immersed in the massive subway system, I feel I could find my way through even if I was blindfolded. When I'm out on Miyun County Highway 004, I can switch off the GPS guidance system and drive back to Dongsi Shitiao Bridge "just like that".
Beijing is my place. Beijingology is what I do.

Hey David - would be so fantastic if you did an article (and maybe translated the super important bits) about the road closures/traffic control/security restrictions in Beijing this weekend (particularly Fri 18th and Sat 19th Sept 2009) as part of the final rehearsal for the 60th anniversary :)
I have been unable to find out any details other than "dozen of roads will be closed" in English anywhere online - but the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau Circular (in Chinese only) has a lot of really useful details!
Hope it helps someone!

I am having a very, very difficult time trying to find out exactly where the Pingxifu Subway station (Line 8) will be located. I suspect (but am not sure) that it will be near the entrance to that Hong Fu Yuan (where the Spa, large swimming complex, Petroleum University) is located. Can anyone confirm this?
