Big screen building

Apparently this futuristic looking building was built specifically for the big TV screens on all four sides to show Olympics footage. Not much inside. And oh, you can land helicopers on the roof. So 007!

Air Canada gets touchy feely

I flew Air Canada into Beijing (it's a long story) and I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. The plane was small and we were told we'd be served 3 meals, one of which includes instant noodles. Delish. But Air Canada redeemed itself by providing individual touch screen monitors including a plethora of options in movies, TV shows, games, and music. The music option simulates an iPod where you can create your own playlists from their available albums.
Although the system had the tendency to freeze when everybody was trying to pull the same movie from the same database (damn Iron Man), it still offered hours of entertainment for me!
