Know i know that most of you know what the Olympics are and where they took place last time (Athens :P). But did you know that they are taking place in Beijing this year? Preparations are already under way with the construction of many new buildings for the Olympics. The palce where the opening ceremony will be taking place is the Birds Nest (a picture of which can be seen below).

Among this the water cube, where the swimming/diving events will take place.

Hope you have a great time if you are visiting and a fun time if you are watching!
