As we missed the Olympics we decided to head over to Beijing and check it out. We stayed with out mates from Kuwait Mark and Sue Edwards who are now working at The Western Academy of Beijing. A great school and coincidentally JB's mate Phil from Istanbul back in 1991 is the VP of middle school and his wife Amanda is the ES VP. Sam Edwards is famous from Kuwait and he is a legend in China. much to Mark's disgust he did not teach Eddie to swear but the boys looked after the little man. Jack lent Eddie his drum kit and the little man took to it like he was Animal out the Muppet show. Sue and Mark organised Mr Wang to drive us around the city and we squeezed in lots of sightseeing. Bloody cold on some days and Eddie was the star in many Chinese photo albums as they just had to have their photo with the cute white boy. The great wall was magnificent and we had a bluebird day for a change. Thanks to the Edwards organisation for showing us around such an amazing place. Eddie was even used as a distraction in the markets to take the pressure of his mum and dad to buy stuff
