One of my most exciting experiences in China When I first saw the Bird's Nest in 2008, I regarded it as the most wonderful building I have ever saw. It does not seem to be delicate for its huge iron pillars outside the complex stairs is much bigger than you see far away. The pillars are rough perhaps because it was just decorated and built in a hurry at that time. It is, however, spectacular in some way, like some concept buildings full of imaginations. Well, the building would be more perfect if the torch that stick out the nest obviously, was disappear. :P We got there with tickets for some track and field games. When we entered the stadium, I was shake by the crowds and the hundred of thousands of sites. We didn't have seats that can watch the games clearly without telescope, but the view was good anyway. Field games are boring somehow, but the watchers were still exciting, they made sounds and waves when some sportsmen got a good score. After the game, we wandered in the south part of the park, had some snacks, visited the areas where were showing Chinese folk customs, and sweat under the sun shining. After a little rest, we took a subway (subway within the park, so you can image how big it is) to the north of the Bird's Nest, it is named as National Forest Park. Then we had more walk and more sweat plus some grass and trees and a lake and more people :P We spent almost seven hours for the visiting. I throw myself into the sofa as soon as possible when I was home. I think people sometime have fun together with pain therefore the fun become more impressive, that explains in someway why I did not feel the same when I got there again for several times.
