Water Cube
BirdsnestWas in Beijing last week for business. It has been 5 years since I last visited Beijing and I am quite impressed with the air quality of Beijing now. I don't know but the 2 days that I was there, the weather was great and the sky was blue. I didn't feel air pollution like I used to remember Beijing for 5 years ago. I used to hear from taxi drivers that residents of Beijing hardly get to see blue sky...This time, I saw blue skies for consecutively 2 days! Look at the photos!
On the day of departure, I managed to steal a couple of hours to visit the Olympics ground where the famous Olympics sports stadium "Birdsnest" and the swimming complex "Water Cube" are situated. The "Birdsnest" was really quite majestic and the walls of "Water Cube" really did looked like many bubbles stuck together! Really cute.

Oooo... how nice! It's getting cold in Beijing now. I should have been there... had it not been for the Lehman mini-bond issue. :(
My elderly relatives need my help to battle the bank staff. ish
Nice pics there. I wonder what the Water Cube and Bird's Nest be used for now that Olympics has passed. Does China host domestic games of that scale regularly?
@ecl,
I thought that the S'pore Govt will be looking into compensation for some owners of mini-bonds, no?
The Birdsnest and the Water Cube have becomed new tourists attraction in Beijing. After all the tourists have seen enough, they will be used as public sporting complexes.
