First and final impressions

A group of 221 volunteers for the 22nd Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting being held in Beijing from Nov 5 through 11 took up their positions at Beijing Capital International Airport on Saturday.

Their main tasks include checking on foreign guests as they arrive, guiding them to the correct shuttle services for their assigned hotels and to seeing the guests off when they leave at the conclusion of the events.

The volunteers were selected from five universities in the capital - Beijing Normal University, Beijing International Studies University, the Central University of Finance and Economics, Peking University and the Beijing Institute of Technology.
