What I Love About Me: Beijing

In the Olympic city of Beijing, it's not just the athletes in competition. Who's the fairest of them all? Tough call!

By Jen Lin-Liu
BEIJING, CHINA
Talk about the place to be: This month, roughly 10,000 Olympic athletes and 2.5 million spectators are expected to visit the city, which is already home to 16.3 million people.

Fact: Instead of taking a coffee break, local professionals drink "office tea"—a tasty jasmine infusion believed to diffuse radiation from computers. (The cooled leaves are a great remedy for puffy eyes.)
