Horribly late but here nonetheless are some photos from my visit to Beijing’s Olympic park in early November.  To get there I took 3 brand new subway lines and upon exiting the station the view I got looked nothing like what I had seen in December 2006 when me and some friends talked our way into the muddy field that surrounded the bird’s nest.  Now the park is one massive square that makes Tian’anmen look quaint.

Even though I visited on a Wednesday the place was swarming with tourists (I even saw some Uighurs who seemed very proud), though the only things to eat were instant noodles and Coca Cola.  The architecture provided me with plenty to digest for the hour or so I spent there.
