inf|nity Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Prepare To Be Astonished- The Water Cube! Nothing I could say can prepare you for the Water Cube, the venue that will greet swimmers in the 2008 Olympics in China. You have never seen anything like this. Ever. I've watched the film three times and I'm still amazed. I predict you'll be sending this around! *sorry if its a repost* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
