Beijing - Saturday - Pictures
Today was still a working day, but didn't require time at the office or in the hotel. I was able to walk around Olympic village while discussing items with my new boss, Brian.
Enjoy the pictures.

Every person who took a picture with this sculpture posed in a different place. This woman picked an interesting place to stand.
You wouldn't believe the number of Chinese people taking a picture of me getting my picture taken. I must be a celebrity....
...and this is how they keep the Olympic Tower clean. I'm pretty sure their NOT wearing safety harnesses. Notice the lack of hard hats?
Enjoy the pictures.

The Bird's Nest (Olympic Stadium) across from the hotel.
This series of buildings is called the Dragon. The head (the tallest building on the left) is an office complex, the middle buildings are a mall, and the tail is a 7-star hotel and restaurant.
The entire Olympic complex is covered in art and sculpture.

The Olympic Tower. Its impressive by day but amazing by night -logs of lights. I'll have to try and get a night time picture.

I have no idea why these girls were dressed this way and posing in front of the Bird's Nest, but I thought it was worth a picture.

Pictures are great! Beijing looks the same as when Nora was there many years ago. It was great to talk with you this morning. Sorry that Pierce and Anna did not appear to be interested in conversing. I think it was the time delay that was confusing to them. Don't work too hard, enjoy yourself. Your dinner last night sounded quite interesting; however, I do not think I would be eating shredded sows ears. The duck would be "ok" to start with. Stay safe and well.
