the local newspaper here said it was the biggest flood in beijing for over 50 years! it was actually really cool! not to mention we got to see the summer palace in the morning, and went to the world's best peking duck restaurant (literally) for lunch. then the flood... we saw cars underwater and everything and drove in a big van through it all.
hehe it was awesome ;)
