VIPs at the National Stadium
by tdaxp ~ June 3rd, 2009
We went to the National Stadium, or Birdnest, today. It is an incredible structure. It sits across from the Watercube in the Olympic Green, a mammoth area that seems larger than Tiananmen Square and the Forbidden City Combined. However, even in the massive scale of the Olympic Green, the kid-and-family-friendly focus of Chinese parks was apparent.
While visitors could walk down onto the field of the National Stadium, a section of it was cordoned off. Who was that for? Some high ranking officials, Lady of tdaxp guessed.
Well, in a way…
The music in the Stadium suddenly quieted, and a PA system announced a visit by the guests of honor… Fuwa!
Now if only I could find a copy of The Olympic Adventures of Fuwa, and follow the capers of Huanhuan, Nini, and the rest of the gang!
Update: A video of the dancing fuwa:

First smuggling… then bypassing the great firewall of china… now you engage in international copyright violations through this unauthorized distribution of this performance… not to mention the copyrighted music involved… you are so going to be exiled to Outer Mongolia!
What oh what pray tell… will your next crime be?

In fairness, the only smuggling we have ever been accused of is when a Chinese-American DHS personnel took Lady of tdaxp’s Chinese beef jerkey (to eat at home, she suspected).
Is there a way of tracking what happens with property confiscated by DHS?
