Beijing Olympics-start in AUGUST?!

We made it to Beijing today! Checked into our Marriott (right next to The Forbidden City) and then grabbed a taxi to go see the Olympics Village. WOW they are no where near done building it! It starts this summer...they better pick up the pace.

Not even sure what this will be:

This will be where the Olympic Torch will be lit:
This is done on the outside, its really a very cool building-the smog is so bad that you can't tell much but this is a shiny blue water looking outside-it glows at night they say. This building will hold the Olympic pools:
This final building is the track and field and main events building. Its being called the birds nest for obvious reasons LOL. There is a fence all around the grounds so these pictures were taken through the fence-thats why they are so far away. But this building will look amazing during the Olympics!
