See the five pandas? They are the official mascots for this year's OlympicsThe world's biggest and oldest sports event held once in every 4 years is now here (opening ceremony tonight). This time, it is held in China. To make this event a success, the Chinese have spent millions, probably billions of dollars to upgrade its sports facilities, hotels, roads, buildings, and such - in hope of making China a more recognised country around the world and to boost up its tourism industry. Security is reinforced and it is made compulsory for the Chinese citizens to study and learn some English to enable themselves to converse to those sportsmen/ women and tourists from overseas.
The athletes come to compete for one of these, and also to bring glory and fame to themselves and their respective country
These buildings are some of the Chinese hard-efforts to organise the many sports events:
The 'Birds Nest'
The 'Egg'
The 'Water Cube' (left) and the 'Birds Nest' (right)So, what do you think about all these preparations? In my opinion, the Chinese had really done a great job and it was truly a worth investment.
It was a WOW for me when I first saw these magnificent buildings (I bet that the same goes to you too).
Till then, God bless.
