OTHER Beijing shenanigans

So apart from climbing the Great Wall,  I've also been to see the Beijing Olympic Village and the Beijing Art District 789. I can only say that I've been hugely impressed with China and as someone interested in Sino-Africa relations I can honestly say Africa has a lot to learn from China. Heck the whole world has a lot to learn from China. But Ghana also has a lot to learn on her own. More of that coming later.

I'm throwing in a few pictures of the cultural class I take. Enjoy!


My personal Chinese seal with my Chinese name engraved in Ancient Chinese script. Cool or what?!






The process of making a Beijing opera mask





The Water Cube - where the swimming events were held.


The Broadcasting tower.


The Beijing Olympic Stadium 'The Bird's Nest'


My third year classmates!


The mascots


One of the entrances


The Beijing Olympic Torch




The 'Eggs' in the 'Bird's Nest'. Love the concept.



I was particularly interested in 'The Transformers' at 789; Beijing's Art District
