Ni Hao (hello!)
As I near the end of my first week in Beijing, I thought it would be about time for me to present my first round of pictures. I hope you enjoy them!
A couple of days ago, I was able to sneak out of the IBC (International Broadcast Center) to tour a few of the wonderful venues here on the Beijing Olympic Green. The first stop was the Ling Long Pagoda, an amazing structure with an even more amazing view. This incredible feat of engineering will host the main RHBs (Right's Holding Broadcasters) during the games.
check out the view!
in two weeks this space will be filled with hundreds if thousands of people!
the IBC a.k.a. "My Office"
a bridge painted to resemble water. clever.
The National Aquatics Center a.k.a. the "Water Cube"
The National Stadium a.k.a. the "Bird's Nest"
Luke and the Cube:

Here is the Pangu Plaza, a quite impressive 7-star hotel right next to the green:
I am having a wonderful time here in Beijing, I wish you all could join me! I miss you all, please feel free to drop me an email or post some comments on the blog. Yesterday I went on a 10k hike atop the Great Wall... I'll post pictures soon!
Until then, enjoy this panoramic shot that I stitched together.
