I had the pleasure of visiting Beijing in 2012 and until this day its hard for me to believe I was there! I'm from Mexico by the way and that was the first time my family and I had the opportunity to a different continent and it was amazing! very kind people, the temples the landscapes, delicious food obviously the great wall etc etc like I said, I still can't believe I was there, and by 'there' I mean the bird's nest stadium which in my opinion is like a huge peace of art simply beautiful so watching this makes me think of that and I miss it very much. Amazing show by the way obviously. Have a great day.
