Up at 6, but not needing to meet the group until 830, I bundled up against the elements and went for a walk around the block.

百般折腾之后，凌晨6点我终于起床了，但是我们的团队要等到早上8点30分才集合。我把自己裹得像个粽子，以抵抗外面的恶劣天气，然后去周围街区散步。

I love mornings like this in a new city, getting to see the place wake up, as the working class hits up the food carts for their bag lunches to go, and parents walk their kids to school.

我爱这样的早晨，在一个全新的地方，看着整个城市慢慢醒来，上班族到热气腾腾的早餐车处买早餐，然后把食物打包带走，父母送他们的孩子去学校。

I feel invisible, but that’s a good thing, as I don’t get the standard cheezy tourist treatment and can just enjoy the everyday life of this great place.

在这里我就像一个隐形人，没有人认识我，也没有人关注我，但这是一件好事情，因为这样的话，我就不用被那些俗气的游客待遇束缚，可以尽情享受这个伟大城市的日常生活。

Beijing was dawning beautiful and sunny, and the hustle and bustle was there, but still not the craziness or the crowds I had prepped for. Instead it was just comfortable, and being comfortable in a place is a huge, huge factor for me. When I, as a single woman, can walk around a city and just relax and enjoy it, that is the best sign that a city is going to be fantastic.
