This must be the event almost all of the world is watching right now. The 2008 Olympics in China in the Bird's Nest stadium. I'm watching it right now. Such an amazing opening ceremony by People's Republic of China. What a display. This is such a historical moment in the making. A must-watch for everyone. The fireworks were amazing....obviously as China is the one who created fireworks. The amount of volunteers and performers are amazingly huge. Thousands of people are involved in the creation of one of the most amazing Olympic ceromony. Lights and colours all around the stadium....the start was amazing with hundreds maybe thousands playing drums called fo. It was a sight to see. And a historical journey begins.....from the creation of paper to printing blocks to the Great Wall of China......this historical journey was made so interesting with the creativity of China making use of lights and clours and sounds......everything is cannot be describe with only words. Singing, instruments and music, dances, martial arts, costumes, different ethnics and cultures....all in the Plympics. the spirit of Olympics is really to unite all and I think it's an amazing event to unite all 204 countries in one Olympics. Live on tv. Right now is still the procession of countries into the stadium according to the chinese calligraphy....204 countries parading in.....I can't wait for the torch lighting....must be fantastic and wonderful.....Here comes the host country China....a round of applause and cheers to them.....Such a response from the audience and everyone is so excited over what China have next up.....
Together with the China's delegation is a little boy who save two lives in the Wen Chuan's earthquake. Isn't that amazing??? The little boy looks really small....but very cute...Everyone looks so great and happy. Okay maybe some people look bored after waiting for so long...haha. 204 nations....it took awhile....okay it took so long....Finally the opening speech and torch lighting....
OMG the torch lighting is so unbelievable....flag was hold by past atheletes who have made achievement in sports and running the torch up are atheletes from different sports and ages.....combining the old and the young...the old man who took the torch up is Lee Ning who is a great gymnast and very famous....he flew around the stadium and lit the torch high up......the past and the future all combined together. Such a great event and such an ending....the firework display was just simply fantastic. So beautiful, so blaring, so loud, so super-duper........and so how much this fireworks cost and how unenvironmental-friendly....hahaha....
