Olympic birds nest

Cool Olympic birds nest picture. The area around it is odd...not much development as it stayed a big open space for the city.

Mao!

Authentic Peking Duck??

Was it more authentic?? Answer no. Tasted just like the good duck houses in Chinatown. Still really good. I have found on this trip many non-eaters so I had quite a bit of the pancakes and skin. So good. Allegedly $50 for the whole duck so I can't even say it was cheaper. But delicious nonetheless....
