"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.
