I even got to go down onto the field- the stadium itself is massive
And partially covered over the seats
They even had two big balloons of a few of their mascots- the green one is named Nini the Swallow and the red one is HuanHuan the Olympic Flame.
Here are all 5 of the mascots together- the other 3 are named Beibei the Fish, Jingjing the Panda, and Yingying the Antelope. Each of these have stories about what they represent and how they relate to Chinese culture.

Cheryl, I love reading your posts about China. Hopefully I can go there sometime, it sounds like a lot of fun!
I'll be honest - it was amazing. Definitely an experience of a lifetime. I'm so glad you got to go - even if it wasn't to see an olympic event. I highly recommend going to one, someday, though. Really, truly amazing.
