Olympics commences today, 08/08/08.

This year's Olympic mascots, which is one of the traditional Olympic symbols, are really cute and unique because of the incorporation of Chinese characteristics in them. Click on the image to know more about it.

Official Mascots

Fuwa embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.

Who thinks they aren't cute? My bridge teacher has a complete collection of shirts and bags with the mascots printed on them.
