Science and sport
500 days to go to BJ Olympics - ribbon cutting etc.
I went out to the Museum of Science and technology. The bottom floors are like Eureka - aimed at kids but quite interesting. Half of it sponsored eg by Intel, so no mention of Motorola or AMD in "History of the chip". Full of one enormous school party.
Top floor very different. History of Sci in China. Astrolabes, gunpowder, clocks, maths. Nice.
Afterwards I went to their ciname - and enormous Imax setup which was spherical - you lie back in yr seat to watch it all aroundm you. Very immersing, especially the helicopter travel - it felt like you were really there as you could look all around.
