Beijing Olympics Ready to Get Start!

Posted by Dr. Smile 2 August, 2008 (4) Comment

Finally, the much sought upon Beijing Olympics 2008 is here and ready to kick start on Aug 08. The Chinese has put a tremendous amount of effort into putting on great Games for the athletes, pumping in a total of about $40 billion to stage the Games and everybody is eager to see the Games succeed in tapping into one fifth of the world’s population.

Although the Beijing Games have been hit by protests and controversy regarding China’s policies on Tibet and the Darfur region of Sudan as well as the country’s human rights record and pollution concerns, this did not reflect upon the spirit of the games. Unlike run-ups to recent Olympics, Beijing’s preparations for August have kept to plan, and some stadiums and infrastructure have even been completed ahead of schedule. All is now ready to go.

Take a look at the schedule which was made public today:

New Hyderabad Airport Starts Operations

Posted by Dr. Smile 23 March, 2008 (4) Comment

Rajiv Gandhi International Airport at Shamshabad has started functioning. We need to keep pace with International standards in our airports. The newly built Beijing Airport is a role model for every country to emulate. The newly built Beijing Airport is the latest wonder in airports in the world. What is astonishing is that this marvel has been built in the world’s most populated developing country! Almost 50,000 workers toiled round the clock in 8-hour shifts and built the colossal $3.75-billion terminal in only four years. China wanted the airport to be ready before August 8, when the Beijing Olympic Games begin. The new terminal will have a capacity of 75 million passengers a year. It features an extremely high-tech passenger baggage system — on 50 km of conveyor belts — that can handle 19,800 bags per hour. The size of the new Beijing airport can be gauged from the fact that it boasts of 64 restaurants, 80 retail stores, 175 escalators, 173 lifts, 437 revelators or moving footpaths, and 300 check-in counters.. The airport’s runway is capable of handling the world’s largest passenger aircraft, the Airbus A380. The airport building has integrated environmental control systems to minimise energy consumption and carbon emissions
