The Nest



This picture was taken at the Olympic Green.  You can see both the Stadium (a.k.a. The Nest) and the Water Cube in the background.  These buildings include two of the venues for the Olympics.  Ted, our guide, mentioned that so much steel was used to build this structure that the total world supply of steel was noticeably impacted.  The Bejingers are extremely proud of their opportunity to host these games.  You cannot set foot in the streets without being reminded that the Olympics are drawing near.  We were so fortunate to have a tour of these facilities because security is tight.  Wallace Bao, the Kodak Representative, gave us a thorough overview.  Kodak and Coke are the two biggest US sponsors of the games.
