Me at Bird’s Nest – Beijing

It’s me. It’s the Bird’s Nest, or, more accurately, the National Stadium. It cost me $4 to go in and see it. I’m glad I did. It is a large stadium. It seats 100,000 people and doesn’t look all scrunched-up like a lot of stadiums look. There were also many visitors to the National Stadium on the day I went. Many of the visitors were school children who would yell "Hello" when I walked by, knowing I was a foreigner and wanting to practice their English a little. I would echo back to them "Hello, hello, hello" while waving to them and they would echo back to me "Hello, hello, hello" while waving their hands. This happened every time I got near a group of school kids who noticed me. It was a very interesting day at National Stadium.
