北北京京欢欢迎迎你你！
The most innovative stadium design, the best opening ceremony, and the most kawaii Olympic mascots ever in the history of the Games - at least in my opinion - is right here in Beijing.
I was really looking forward to visit the Olympic Village in Beijing, and we drove past it a couple of times before we finally landed on the Village itself.
We were dropped some distance away from the Stadium by the cab driver - I have no idea why. Anyway, it gave some photo shoot opportunities!
This was supposed to be a really high-end shopping center and apartment, but it was eerily empty when we were there in June 2009.
The Stadium against a back drop of clear blue skies. I'm glad the weather held up!
The lights are really fascinating - and so is the scores of people around!!
There they are!! 欢欢，你你，京京，北北，迎迎 - in order from left to right.
Well, there is nothing much in the Stadium except the mascots, but it was a great experience to be there!
Beside the Stadium is the Water Cube where the water sports were held, but we didn't go in as you need to buy another entrance fee to go in! And we thought that there will not be anything much inside anyway.
On top of the Great Wall, I think China can add the Olympic Stadium as another wonder of the world! :)
