The conference dinner and around about the Olympic Park

The conference dinner included a performance of typical Chinese music and dance.

Contortionists.

Rapid face change dancer, quite amazing!

Beijing Opera singer. A very high pitched voice - interesting, but a whole evening of this might prove to be a bit trying.

Not sure where these Spanish dances came from.

The menu was quite amazing.

Actually the food turned out to be pretty ordinary.

Brendon, Grant and Jo. Note to Alexander and Mary - Bill is talking to Jane in the background.

View from our Hotel room. The breakfast here was amazing, a food station from every country you could possibly think of.

This was a hotel nearby shaped like a dragon - seven star - that's its name anyway.

Bill, Jo, Kirsty and Daniel outside the Olympic Stadium, known as the Bird's Nest.

The Olympic flame.

We went with Bill's friend Jo to a Peking duck restaurant. You can see our duck being dismantled in the background.

It came with it's own certificate...

...and all of it's parts.

This is for Thomas and Zoe. If you want to take Elliot to a playground in Beijing, here are the rules. And make sure you don't let him anywhere the grass.
