So far I had my best experience today! I had the opportunity of visiting the Birds Nest, where the 2008 Olympic games were held. The arena was absolutely beautiful. We were able to explore the president’s box of the Beijing Olympic games and the room that the president of China resided during the event. Additionally, the tour guide let us walk to the bottom of the stadium to view the arena from the bottom. After such a great experience, are class was very hungry and we stopped at McDonalds. It was my first time eating McDonalds in China and I was surprised by how tasty and similar the food was to America. I even ordered an Oreo Mcflurry that was absolutely phenomenal. Are next destination was the Forbidden City. The history and architecture was so gorgeous and elegant. There were sculptures made of pure gold and endless buildings that were like nothing I have seen before. Here are some pictures of the Birds Nest and the Forbidden City.
Here are some pictures from today:
