Fuwa outside of the volleyball stadium! I do love the Fuwa...
Beach Volleyball Stadium - empty and full of Chinese people during the hour that Team China was playing. They were pretty into it, even though I'm pretty sure 80% had never seen beach volleyball before. There's not a lot of beach happening in Beijing.
Game 1 was Team USA v. Norway - Misty May and Kerri Walsh. Sweet?!?!
Team China caught in a somewhat awkward moment
Let's be honest - this was the most entertaining part. Like a weird/disturbing/hilarious cultural fusion happening here. I laughed heartily.
Shane's parents were super nice and offered up their extra basketball tickets on Saturday. This is the outside of the basketball stadium, which looks strikingly much like it's made out of popsicle sticks.
B-ball from the inside: Argentina v. Iran. We all stood and sung both teams' national anthems before the games. Never really thought I'd be paying regards to the Islamic Republic of Iran's flag, but that's what the Olympics are for I guess...
