Beijing Belly is displayed in many public places and is utilized by all walks of life. To pull off the perfect look, men should roll their shirts up from the bottom, tucking the extra material upwards against their chest. This allows the perfect amount of air circulation around the midsection which enables perspiration droplets to evaporate without saturating the clothing. The ingenious Beijing Belly is sported by men of all ages here in the city, but I have yet to see any women attempt the style. However, if it gets any sweatier, I might have to be the trend setter.
The Beijing Belly
On a different note, my training has been in full swing since Monday. We have been enduring the 1 hour 45 minute-long subway/hiking trek to and from the Laoshan Bicycle Cluster each day with seemingly all 16 million of Beijing's finest. Yes, I have my uniform. No, I don't have pictures up, yet. You will have the opportunity to hear all about it as soon as the weekend comes, I promise. In the meantime, please enjoy the lighter commentary as I catch some Zzz's for tomorrow's work day.

we are all very interested in your training. how many of you interview each cyclist? do you use voice recorders? are you assigned to cover certain events or all of them? how many events are there in a day? what if they dont speak english or chinese? who gets the information you provide and what do they do with it? will you know if your info is ever printed?
I must try the BB thing. :+)
Lots of ?'s. I will be eager to hear details.

I laughed when I saw the picture because that is what I do when taking trips in non-air-conditioned OP. It was so hot here in Indy yesterday and I had a couple softball games. So clearly I didn't want to be sweaty and nasty before I started so I pulled a "Beijing Belly" on my car ride to the park. Yes - I got looks from other drivers. Maybe if the trend caught on here I wouldn't get as many funny looks.
