Maria informed me that only Westerners, especially U.S. visitors, wanted to stop and see the Olympic site. I even needed to go inside to see the playing field...soccer on the day I was visiting. The grounds are still very beautiful (note the bird nest lights along the walkway). The Cube had just been refurbished, and was to open for swimming and competitions soon. I include a picture of a "7 Star" hotel next to the Village. I have NO idea why it is called a 7 Star, other than the price you must pay to stay in a room. I just liked the entry building's strange shape and architecture. Maria asked me if I wanted to stop for a McDonald's as we were leaving, saying it was the best McDonald's in Beijing...my response was no thanks, rarely do I stop at a McDonald's in the U.S.!
