Heaven: I was one of the very few foreigners selected to be in the National Day Parade, along with my wife. Many of my friends, all over the world, saw me thanks to my clever choice of a red Chinese jacket.
Hell: Beijing needs all citizens to make more efforts to safeguard our environment. This means reducing littering, spitting and saving water and energy; it also requires a deep change in attitude with regards to traffic, where few show respect for traffic rules and civility. Being courteous and law abiding would make traffic more efficient, reduce car pollution and reduce our daily stress.
