The Bird's Nest

Beijing
Just spent some time around the Olympic stadium.
It's less than two months to the opening ceremony and my sense is
that the Chinese are following the 2004 Greek Olympic hosting schedule
(still plastering and painting as the torch arrives!) rather than the
(2000) Aussie timeline (everything done six months ahead).
There's really a phenomenal anount of fevered construction taking
place here. You know it'll all get done, 'cause if it doesn't...!
Anyway I'll post some pictures later as I'm wrting this on my phone
and it doesn't sent photos or video.
Next stop the Great Wall
