These are pictures taken from various parts of the Olympic Green.
Driver drops us off at the Beitucheng Subway station. We go through security to enter the station. We ride the train to the last station, Forest Park. We saw the Superstore first, so we did our shopping for souvenirs first.
And from there we walked to the Bird's Nest, taking pictures among all the sponsors' pavilions we passed, most notable of which were those of Johnsons and Johnsons (with Terra Cotta warriors), Coca Cola (with Olympic memorabilia) and Adidas.
Then we saw the main sports venues: the Indoor Gymnasium, the Water Cube and of course, the Bird's Nest.

Source of big disappointment for Chinese sports fans in this Olympics when he withdrew from his much anticipated 110m Hurdles race due to an alleged injury.
