This time, on the journey again, we didn't take any transport.
Everyone hoisted their backpacks, and a lieutenant from the Beijing command unit led the way, marching briskly.
It was only about ten minutes or so.
"We're almost there! Look, that's the Bird's Nest, the National Stadium! You all know it, right?" the lieutenant said, pointing to a structure ahead.
Everyone looked up.
Wow, it's beautiful!
We had all seen the Bird's Nest on TV, but actually seeing the oval-shaped side of the Bird's Nest from not far away, we couldn't help but marvel in amazement.
How in the world did they intertwine so much steel in such intricate patterns?
"Next to this is the Dragon shaped water system! The Olympic Park's ice rink!"
"And here is Scenic Lake!"
Looking at the outdoor ice rink and the surrounding Olympic five-ring mascot flags, the soldiers started to discuss among themselves.
"The conditions here are pretty good, huh!"
"We're stationed here? Isn't this like reaching paradise?"
