The venues for the Olympics are spectacular. The new national stadium is called the Bird’s Nest (it looks like one) which is right across from the Water Cube, an amazing building made of translucent plastic that changes color at night. The stadiums are built along the same axis as the Forbidden City. It’s hard to overstate the scale of all of these buildings and the main Olympic area which is connected to an entire forest and takes multiple hours to walk from end to end.
One wonders what London can try to outdo Beijing – Tia suggested the Queen burlesque dancing, which is perhaps a good start – but I wonder if London can put together an entire forest or a building that changes color. And the meals they sell in the Olympic park self heat! You just pull a string and all of a sudden steam is pouring out. It does seem a little dangerous but it looks pretty awesome.
