We were helping a friend looking for an apartment in Beijing for the upcoming Olympic Games. But turns out our friend got a sweet “House swaping” deal with one Chinese family during the olympics. We feel bad for the apartment owner, so we are posting the apartment information here. Maybe it will be helpful for you if you are looking for a place to stay, it is definitely a better deal than over priced hotels. We have been to the apartment, and we do aprove!
| 2 Bedrooms, 1 study, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bath. Fully furnished, Siemens appliances. Gated community with gym, swimming pool, cable with HBO and Discovery.
Bus stop right at the gate, 2km to subway Line 5 and Line 13. 4km to Olympic forest park. 10 minutes ride to the Bird Nest. RMB 5000/month plus utility for long term |

Dear Traveler,
Hi my name is Cristina Pena and I’m apart of American Public Media’s nationwide radio show called “Weekend America.” Every month we run a short piece on the various weekend photos we receive on our Weekend America Flickr. However, for the month of August, we would like to have a special “Olympics in Beijing” photo theme.
Currently, I’m looking for American travelers who will be in Beijing during the Olympic Summer Games. From what I understand you will be attending some of the athletic practices. We would love to hear about your experience and the photos you will be taking.
If you are interested in sharing your Beijing Olympic story, or know of anyone else traveling to Beijing during the Olympics, please contact me at cpena@americanpublicmedia.org or 213.621.3523 x 523
Thank you.
Here is a link to give you an idea of what we do!

Hi, I am interested in this appartment! I will be in Beijing from February 2009 to June 2009. Would the appartment be available? I will be a student at BEIDA (Gunghua School of Management). Will the location of the appartment make sense for me? Please contact me, so we can exchange more information.
