Last rehearsal for the Oct. 1 (Grand) Parade

Life in Beijing is never boring. Full of (funny) surprises.
This afternoon I will be “kidnapped” to be part of the last major rehearsal for the Parade of the 60th Anniversary of the PRC.
Sun Bin cannot join today as she is recovering from a small operation. Valerie will join too but she will have to “walk” behind the float (large car) where I will be standing together with some other foreigners. All the floats are now stored in Workers Stadium, under tight security.
It’s going to be a long day and night. The whole city will suffer from a series of security measures and traffic restrictions (don’t blame me!).
Will be interesting but probably boring and tiring. Oh well, that’s China!
Maybe some people might object to my participation but they don’t understand how this country works.
Don’t expect pics nor “inside information”. All part of the deal. Watch TV instead on October 1!
