China Olympic Mascot - 中国オリンピックのマスコット
From the official website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic games , I found many useful information about the Olympic games. I specially notice about the official mascots of the game. Love them! But actually they have important meaning to bring to the world.
From the official website it said :The Olympic Game
"Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace -- and good wishes from China -- to children all over the world.
Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni -- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
In the ancient culture of China, there is a grand tradition of spreading good wishes through signs and symbols. Each of Fuwa symbolizes a different blessing -- and will honor this tradition by carrying their good wishes to the children of the world. Prosperity, happiness, passion, health and good luck will be spread to every continent as Fuwa carry their invitation to Beijing 2008 to every part of the globe."
Which Fuwa you love the most?

This was so interesting! I know two people from South Africa who are going to the Games - I will tell them about the mascots. By the way, your ideas and photos on recycling are fantastic! Thanks for the tips!
The mascots are so cute. I like the red and black best.
