#1 the bicycle company is Giant
Lin Lao Shi told us about the Olympic mascots, so I feel a little like I’m cheating. But the are five little dolls are Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini, and each syllable taken together form the words for Beijing Welcomes You. They represent the five elements of nature in their head-dresses: fire, earth, sky, forest and sea. And the dolls themselves are the animals in China a fish, a panda, an antelope, a swallow plus the Olympic flame.
nathan and linda, good job!
