Some rain! Finally things will cool down.Up and out to the gym I go! The cleaning lady… didn’t really clean. Barbell rows, shoulder press and then 100 pull ups (no push ups or squats). 7km run done in two parts.Update on the Beijing ID card sale: you have to choose whether to get it in store (more expensive) or buy it online.
