Beijing 2008

This was a one-month vacation and a on-in-a-lifetime event for us, - the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. We got tickets for several events: women's preliminary basketball, judo women's 78kg and men's 100kg final, men's team epee bronze and gold medal matches, rowing finals, gymnastics artistic finals, women's football bronze match Germany vs Japan and an evening of athletics finals in the national station, aka the bird's nest. The enthusiasm of the Chinese spectators was amazing and an event of its own. The architecture of the Olympic park is monumental, modern and during night time particularly attractive due to the many light effects on the buildings. Furthermore, we visited with friends the Tánzhè Sì temple. I saw Jun's University, we visited the new Capital Museum and went to the new Beijing Opera for a spectacular Turandot performance.
