Bird's Nest at Night

[nottypanda1]

Democracy leads to capitalism, which leads to greed. Greed leads to warfare - The powerful have always taken from the poor. So if you want to argue political systems, you should understand democracy is less than 270 years old, as an idea. The world, as a civilized system, has existed for around 5000 years. It was built based on Imperial rule... The UAE is a modern example. China isn't even a 'Communist' society today, so for all you haters, you need to think about what it is you really hate.

(lanuiiohu) This isn't the first time someone died at the olympics.  Try searching Atlanta 96 bombing, or Munich Massacre, and get over it.

the Cube and the Bird's Nest....two monstrosities that will be tattered wrecks in 10 years

[LadyofTalent]

[iHateUcuzUsuck]

it looks nice

[jpgianca]

the cladding is a softer sort of material (not so ridid/stiff), lit from inside. so it has a luminescent sort of appearance and can, apparently, be lit in many colours.

how do they get that cube effect..thats nice

[xoelts]

they used "money' lots of "money" just to get that cube effect

[Vaioleto]

Yup, the watercube was built entirely from donations. Mainly from Chinese abroad, it's amazing if you think about it.

[fordrmani]

it's really amazing venue.

and i'm happy that chinese swimmer won gold for 200 metre butterfly so it's going to be a memory for a life time for whoever watch that.
