Answer 6

im impressed

Answer 7

Totally agreeing with you, that is a wonderful and well thought out structure, but then again, did we expect anything less from that ambitious set of people? I didn't

Answer 8

Yes, I agree.  I appreciate beauty when I see one.

Answer 9

Yes agree. It's so surprising because people usually think China is bad because its in communist state. So it's surprising coming from China. But seriously the Bird's Nest is not the only modern wonder. There are other Olympic venues that China built that portrayed modern architecture as well. I heard London is building venues for the 2012 games too. But I don't think it'll be as great as China because everybody knows that London plays an important role in the world. It's also a very rich place. So even if they out-do the Chinese, it wouldn't be very surprising coming from a rich nation.

Answer 10

Totally agree. That station just looks fantastic. Also the other stadiums are great as well. I like the "egg" alot. China held a construction competition where anyone can submit their design for new stadiums and the builders would pick from one of the designs. Its just incredible to see what people can build when there are basically no restriction on how much needs to be spend. As we can tell from the opening ceremony and the stadiums, as long as it can be great, money is no problem.
